hum drum day

It has been another hot day in Arkansas. The forecast is for 3 digit temps through Tuesday. I have been watering the yard all week hoping that it won't turn brown.
I slept late this morning (which is something I don't normally do) but I was tired I guess.
Jesse worked at the jewelry store today and then went to the lake with a friend. She just walked in the door (10:30pm) and seemed to have had a great time. Mason worked this evening and then played with Damon. Now everyone is home and we are soon to be in bed and then up early for church in the morning.
While Mason was at work and Jesse at the lake, I went to Little Rock to the mall. Can you believe, I drove all that way and didn't spend a dime? just wasn't in the mood to try clothes on and I didnt find any sales. I did see alot of things that I would have loved to have bought, but my better sense took over and I left without them. Yea, Me! lol....
Well, that's about it for today. I predict something exciting to happen in the next week. (at least I hope so. These past couple of blogs have been pretty boring. )

? ? ? ? ?

What to blog about tonight? Not sure at this point. I am just going to start typing and see what happens. :)

The summer is starting to come to an end for the kids. I work at the high school year round. I don't get the summer months off like the teachers do and the kids. The summer at work has been slow and boring. But come Monday some of the teachers come back on contract and things will definitely pick up. I plan on taking the day off tomorrow and spend time around the house.

Mason has been working alot this week at his job at Food King. He is doing a great job and I am very proud of him.

Jesse has finally been notified of her roommate for college and they have been texting back and further learning abit about each other before move-in day at the University. (August 17th) Kenny is planning to come home the week before she leaves for college. That way he can help us move her in the dorm. (and I will have a shoulder to cry on....because I know I am going to be doing alot of crying).

Well, not much to update (the words are just not coming to me tonight.) I will try again tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a great evening.

God's Blessing are so Great!

It never ceases to amaze me how God works in all things. These past few weeks have been trying weeks for me. I have had several things on my mind that I finally turned over to God completely. I am normally not a 'worrier'. (I leave that to Kenny***because he is so good at it. lol..) but I am finding that for the past several years, I tend to worry more than I used too. I really don't know the reason why. Maybe my faith isn't as it should be. Whatever the reason, it isn't fun no matter how you look at it. Yesterday and ,today brought clear answers to several of the things that have been on my mind and I am once again, encompassed by God's arms. All I can say is, Thank you God! Your blessings are great and I owe everything to your glory. If you haven't turned your worries over to God, I would recommend it. "The burden lifted" is a wonderful feeling.

HOT HOT HOT!!!!!

The weather that is.
Summer is in full force in Searcy, AR.

I love the hot weather for the most part. However, working inside with the air conditioner all day makes for a tough adjustment when headed home. If I begin the day outside and stay out til evening, I find it much easier to tolerate. This weekend I did just that. I got up on Saturday and headed for Lowes. Picked out a few different shrubs and flowers and came home and started planting. I am beginning to wonder if I am getting older because I found it much harder to dig the holes for some reason. lol... But I know that isn't possible. :) or is it? I refuse to admit to any such suggestion at this point. :)
I managed to get the holes dug. It took me almost all day. I waited for the sun to go down a bit before planting the new plants. I have found that if I don't plant in the heat of the day, the plants do before and usually survive. I know they look sparce and little, but give them til next summer and they will fill the space and be beautiful. (at least that is what I am predicting). I truly enjoy the outdoors and wish alot of times that I had done as Kenny had wanted 15 years ago when we bought this house. He wanted to buy a house out in the country with some land. Well, I had grown up in the country with land and chores and animals,ect.... I wanted the suburbs and nice neighborhood, ect.... so that is what we got. (Kenny is sooo good to me). Now 15 years later, I would love to have more yard and maybe a creek and all the other things that go with the country. I guess the old saying is true " You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl" So I make my little lot of land and home as cozy as I can and I really enjoy it. Hot or not.
