This weekend started off shaky. Micah woke up at 3 A.M. Friday morning with 102 fever. With benchmark tests & student needs, I went into work while Joe stayed home. As I was leaving, Joe called out, "Thank you." Not sure what I had done or if he was being sarcastic, I replied, "For what?" (Not in a surly tone, mind you.) He simply stated, "For all you do for us." Wow! What a way to trudge into work on a chilly morning.
The kids' school celebrated homecoming this week. Being a small private school, they have no football team, so homecoming is during basketball season. Quite the tradition around here! Rebekah participated in a cheer camp for the elementary girls, so on Friday I picked her up at 5. We enjoyed a couple of hours of shopping and hanging out. Upon our return home, Joe surprised me with a clean kitchen, laundry, and bathroom. The man even mopped, cleaned the jacuzzi jets, and the grout around the tub!!!! To top it all off, he got the kids ready for bed, drew a bubble bath w/candles & my Mama Mia! soundtrack playing with instructions that I was to "relax & (he) would take care of everything else." Seriously, somebody take that man to Lowe's!!
Yes, this is the same man that I am so thankful for...maybe I should re-evaluate myself against his taste in women! :0 (This was from Halloween...a friend's in-laws! They were hysterical!)
I love him so. God has truly blessed me...beyond all I could ever ask or imagine. Over & over He proves that if we wait on Him, He ALWAYS has His best in store for us. Oh, this doesn't mean things are always easy or "bliss," but it's always for OUR best! We don't have the perfect marriage, but we're in it together. I guess that's what really matters!
Here are pics from homecoming:
The homecoming game was lots of fun, & Rebekah continues to amaze me with her tenacity. She's a great person...full of life, love, and fun! She had a friend spend the night last night, & as I lay in bed, I could hear them over Micah's monitor (yes, I still use one...actually the one from when Rebekah was born!). Hearing their whispers & giggles brought back so many happy memories from my own childhood. We wrapped up the weekend with a trip to the "dollar" ($1.99 to be exact) movies to catch "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." Cute movie!
Check out this contest on my "Favorite Things Swap" partner's blog...she does amazing crafts! Her totes are super! Plus it enters me for more chances to win...LOVE the fabric for this giveaway!!
Please keep my mother in your thoughts & prayers. They have found places in both breasts, but after completing an ultrasound and MRI, she goes for a needle biopsy tomorrow on the left side.
I end my weekend by "facebooking" AND blogging...what could be better?
