I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING AND FEED THEM BEFORE I WENT TO WORK. JOYOUS!! THEY ARE THE SWEETEST LIL THINGS...MILEY, LAYLA, AND SAVANNAH. ANYWAYS, HUNTER (MY LIL BRO) HAS BALL GAMES TOO. WE TRY NOT TO MISS MANY OF THOSE. ALL OF MY BABIES ARE GROWING UP SO FAST AND THESE YEARS WE WILL NEVER GET BACK. IT REALLY MAKES ME TEAR UP!! SO...THAT'S BEEN OUR SCHEDULE HERE LATELY....GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK!

WELL....IT'S FRIDAY!!! YAY!! I HAVE TO SAY I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE DAY OUT OF THE WHOLE WEEK. HERE LATELY, I HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED! IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND I AM BEGINNING TO GET INTO IT A LIL MORE THAN I WAS BEFORE. IT'S A RELIEF THAT I HAVE ALL MY PRESENT BOUGHT AND WRAPPED AND PUT UNDER THE TREE. IT MAKES FOR A MUCH BETTER ATTITUDE.
I JUST WANT TO ASK EVERYONE TO MENTION ME IN THEIR PRAYERS, PLEASE. I GET MY HOPES UP AND SUDDENLY GET LET DOWN ONCE AGAIN, SO JUST PRAY THAT THROUGH GOD I CAN STAY STRONG AND KEEP CHRIST IN EVERYTHING.
WELL, I GUESS I AM GOING TO GO CLOCK BACK IN (I REALLY WOULD RATHER JUST BE HOME WITH MY BABIES TODAY).

Wow....It's already December

Wow!!!! It's already December! I so can't believe it! My mama used to tell me that the older I get the quicker the days, months, and years will fly by....well guess what...Mama was right. I have got to learn to start taking more pics and saving more memories. KeyLe Ann will be grown up before I know it and that scares me to death. I will just have to trust in the Lord with that one!!
So, I'm working by myself today. Kay took the day off and I miss her. We have fun and that makes for a better day.
I had to take Gene, my father-in-law, to the hospital this morning. His back was hurting but everything turned out to be ok except it is still hurting him. I think his son (Justin) got him into this predicament by making him lift the 4-wheeler the other day. Will they ever learn? Please keep him in your prayers cause if any of you know the Rhea's they are NOT happy campers when they hurt. LOL
I'm going to get my new glasses....Blah! I'll write later...until then....Have a blessed day!!!

Wednesday, Nov. 12

Well, I recently got back from our Ladies Retreat. We went to Pigeon Forge!!! It was wonderful!! I needed the relief although we didn't get much rest.....due to the fact that we stayed up and talked or stayed busy most of the night. I had so much fun spending time with other Christian ladies of our Church. Sardines is the most fun game ever......and I still don't know about soggy weiners...thanks to Sherri. LOL
I am reading Keeping Your Balance....we are also studying this in Ladies Class on Wed nights. It's really good and fits well with my daily life. I am learning to take more time to read and study God's word. I really enjoy it!
Justin killed a deer Sat. I'm proud of him. It makes him in such a better mood. WooHoo!!
Some family from Texas suprised us this week and showed up at my Grandparent's house. It was really nice spending time with them. It shows me how much I really appreciate FAMILY. I miss them, especially my Great Grandma Burnes.

Let's VOTE

So...I didn't blog like I said I was going to.....Sorry! I been rather busy. Well...rather lazy..LOL I been getting up in the middle of the night and working on school so I am tired by the time I get off at the end of the day. Maybe soon I will get used to it. I wanna get finished ASAP!!!! I am going to try to work 2 jobs at first and get some bills paid off. Please pray about that. I'm leaving Friday to go to the Ladies Retreat at Pigeon Forge with Hebron. I am teaching a lesson.....Pray about that too, especially since I am used to teaching 2 and 3 year olds. Planning on taking my computer so I can get some school done, too. Justin don't really want me to go but he knows that I want to and that I need it. He says he will miss me...I love him!! I hope everyone has a good evening and don't forget to cast that VOTE!!!! (Either way I think we better pray about it)

Well as you can tell I didn't write last night.....Told ya this wouldn't last long..lol. I was tired so after KeyLe and I had a bath we went to bed after I had a lil fun with a text message that Kim (my step mom) sent me. It went something like this, "Can you please come and help me? I am about 10 miles away and I locked my keys in my car. Please Hurry!! It's fixin to rain and my windows are down." Well, if you know me and my big blonde self, I called her up wondering where my daddy was and why he couldn't go get her. She immediately busted out laughing when my daddy answered the phone and had no clue what in the world I was talking about. She just knew that I would call...HA! HA! HA! So, I decided I would forward it and I had a ball! I found out which ones are my true friends but I definetly found out which ones are blonde...LOL

So, on to tonight, we had supper then went to Kay's house to fix Jessica's hair for their Homecoming Dance. By the way, Kay is a really good friend of mine and a co-worker, Jessica is her daughter. She was beautiful!!!! It kinda brought back memories of when I used to go to dances and stuff. I do miss those days of no worries, only High School Drama. All that stuff seems so small now and at the time seemed like the most important thing in life. Makes you wonder if the problems that seem so large now will one day seem so small?!?

However, I do love Kay and her wonderful family and May God Bless them.

Well, I didn't go to church tonight....I feel awful. My wisdom teeth have been killing me for the past week so I don't feel like doin much of nothing....especially since they have caused my ears, throat and head to hurt. Gretchen did take KeyLe for me though...so I'm waiting for her to come home. You know, speaking of Gretchen....I am really thankful for her. I married into a wonderful family and I am very thankful for all of them. I know that is why my mama finally let go after fighting so hard for her life....she knew that I would be taken care of. I have to say that I am well taken care of and that means the world to me.

We have been having a wonderful week at work...It's been so peaceful!!!! I just wish I wasn't so darn tired all the time. I have been so tired that I haven't even been getting up early enough to fix my hair. Anybody know of ways to curb fatique? It's killing me!!! I am planning on resting and trying to get over it this weekend. It just can't get here soon enough!!!

Well, I'm gonna go call my husband...he left with my brother a lil while ago to go chase a horse...Yeah, I know, crazy huh? Yeah so pray for me too!!!! LOL I hope everyone has a good night and a Happy Thursday!! God Bless!!!
