October is gone..

Hello All, just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the comments. I am learning that I have quite a few readers, and that really excites me. So keep them coming..

October is almost gone, can you believe it? It was a busy month for my boys, for Cross Country. And at District Aaron was one runner away from placing 15th in District, he was number 16th, and they gave medals for 1 thru 15th place. He still beat all his previous times and finished at 14.06, and Cameron fell at the start of the race, but still managed to beat all his times and finish at 14.26. I am very proud of them. Football season will be finishing up for them next week, and even though they both made some great plays, I am ready for basketball. =0)

Was listening to the radio this morning, and I guess one of the contestants on the biggest Loser was a guest on the radio show, and she told her heart breaking story about how her husband, daughter and newborn son, were all killed in this tragic accident. And oh my goodness, I was in tears. How anyone can overcome anything like that, must be a God thing. I don't think I could crawl out of bed ever again..

Which brings me to one of my Biggest Pet Peeves..Drinking and Driving..My husband has put in alot of hours at work, and is now on a 6 day work week. They were just put on a schedule to where they have to cover the wkends from now on. And one of the guys he works with, has had 3 DWI, has the breathing tube thing to start his car. Well, when they checked his machine, they found that he had tried to start it while intoxicated, so they are making him do 45 days in jail. Which he has to serve on the wkends. (kind of like a slap in the wrist)..Anyways, my husband did not get to watch the Cowboys Game, which if yall know him, that is a big deal. So when this guy came to work on Monday, after serving time in jail, he asked my husband "Man, did you see that Cowboys Game!"? I think my husband took every thing he had to not beat the guy down..ha,ha But think about that people..This guy has been caught drinking and driving 3 times, and tried to drive while intoxicated again, and gets 45 days in jail, and gets to check in on the wkends and sleep, read a book and watch the freaking game! tell me how that is teaching him a lesson. And what is it going to take before they put him away,?? We all know the answer to that, he will have to kill some innocent family or someones child before they so something. And it drives me crazy..Pretty sad, huh?

We need to agree and pray for the laws to get tighter on that. One warning maybe, but 4, NO I don't think so..

Nightmare followed with peace..

So, the flu hit my house pretty hard. First Cam wakes up with a vicious fever, and chills and a severe headache. We spent some time in the hospital to try to get the fever down, after 5 days of him being miserable, he goes back to school. Than the next wk, the other twin starts with the fever, coughing, sneezing. But he was still full of energy and not as miserable as his brother. Than the following wk, Cam starts running a high fever again, which was caused by an infection from not recovering from the flu the first time. So after dr visits, and medicine and missing so much work. It cost us almost 500 bucks. Which really hurt the check book. So we are trying to play catch up again. And I guess I had all that on my mind lastnight when I went to bed. Which is where my dream came from..

It was almost midnight on Christmas Eve, and I realized I had not been able to buy Christmas for the kids. SO I run to the car, and drive all over town to find a store open. Well I end up at Target. I run inside and get a buggy, and I am running and crying because all the shelves are empty. I cry out to God, "please Lord, my family needs to have something to open tomorrow"! Than I see this shelf, and it has 3 oranges, 3 candy canes, has a baby stroller for Jazzy, a Texas Tech pullover for Aaron and Long Horns pullover for Cameron, and even had a MP3 player that I remember Trav asking for. So, I am in tears and shoving all this stuff in my buggy. I head to the check out line, and while the cashier is scanning all my stuff. I get my wallet out, and open it slowly and realize I only have 50 bucks and one quarter. I start to panic again, wondering what I would have to put back. Than she tells me my total $50.24.! I than begin to laugh, and cry and get the heck out of the store. I woke up hearing my self giggling. And just laid in bed. I think, that it was God's way of telling me, that he will provide for me and my family. I just have to trust in him, and quit worrying..So there you go people. Not sure why I felt the need to share it with you. But I did, and hopefully it ministers to you the way it did me.

Random Thoughts for Fall 2009
