schedules

i am a scheduler...i'm type a.
i'm anal. i like order. i like things in straight lines and i hate clutter.
i love schedules...except this one.
yep, the dreaded high school schedule came in the mail.

how did that happen? i mean, how did my piggy {she was sweet and cute and pink with a pug nose as a baby...get over it!} get to be in high school?
she beautiful and smart...a lover of jesus and people...a softball player and a good friend and an uber fantastic daughter.
wow...i'm really lucky. and old. i distinctly remember thinking in high school that i would never be as old as my parents...reality? are you there? yep. here's the check. and the balance.

watch out world, my paige is a champion...in way more ways than softball!

{and don't forget to get in on the tuesday blog party raising money for pediatric cancer research in honor of tuesday whitt...look at my giveaways below}

What a wonderful post to your daughter. Someday she'll be as great a mom as you, with such a wonderful role model.

We are so much alike. Great pictures and I know what you mean...time flies too fast. How did our kids get so old? so fast.

I am SO not looking forward to THOSE years, either. But hey - be thankful your daughter knows Jesus - what a HUGE blessing that is...especially in high school!

She truly is a beautiful girl! It's so mind-boggling when they get to this age.

Uh oh... The one thing we don't have in common. I am an anti-scheduler. I have two piles of clutter in my kitchen. And I sure would NOT love a high school schedule to arrive either!! Holy Cow! Yes, you are FAR too young for that! And yes, Paige can marry Cole if she doesn't mind younger men...

So sweet, time sure does fly, doesn't it? I've decided age is a sliding scale, because I certainly don't feel as old as I used to think I would at this age! :)

I've fallen off the face of the Earth with this pregnancy {{blushing}} hope you're doing well!!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...
