I'm Tired....

-
It's going to be short, sweet & to the point, today, my friends.  We have been in a gym all day at my daughter, Kate's, volleyball tournament.  I am TIRED.  I am feeling OLD, today!  The girls did great, however!  They got first place in their pool, which means we are headed into the gold bracket tomorrow!  The top two teams at this tournament earn a bid to Nationals, which would be so much fun!  We are playing in a humongous sports pavilion in Lawrence, KS, that I'm assuming is part of the KU campus.  (It's out in the middle of nowhere, but it is so nice!)

Tomorrow will be tough, & the girls will have to bring their "A-game," but they can do it!  Whatever the outcome, even if it is their last tournament, they have had a great club season, & I'm so proud of them!

When we are finished tomorrow (whatever time that may be, yikes!), we will head home & get ready for the school week!  I'm happy to get back to it, but I may need some coffee Monday morning!  Have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow, everyone!

A Dog's Life

A Dog's Life (Kale ~ The Best Dog EVER!) Isn't he the CUTEST dog you've ever seen?  His name is Kale ~ he is a rescue pup, and I could not love him more!  Our family rescued Kale about 5 years ago ~ Here is a little bit about his story, and how our family became lucky enough to call him ours: Our family had another adorable dog, named Jack - (Captain Jack Sparrow, to be exact=).   He was a "Jack Zhu."  Unfortunately, Jack could climb fences, and loved to run & be free.  He was an escape artist!  No matter what steps we took to keep adorable little Jack safely inside our fence, he would still find a way to escape.  Many people have helped us find Jack over the years, & the Humane Society knew him by name.  (He was a fun little mess!).  Anyway, one morning that Jack escaped, he was hit by a car.  We were devastated, particularly my youngest daughter, Kate.  I thought it would be quite awhile before our hearts could own another puppy.   Fast fo

Things have been a little bit CrAzY lately......  When I am feeling stressed, I like to pause and remember the things that put a smile on my face.  Have you ever seen The Sound of Music?   If not, you definitely should!  The movie version was released almost 53 years ago, and it is wonderful!  There is a scene during a bad thunderstorm in which the children in the movie are frightened, and their nanny helps them through their fears by remembering their favorite things.  Here are a few of mine: Favorite People ~ My two daughters!  They are funny, sweet, and always know how to cheer me up! Favorite Food ~ Anything Mexican!  Specifically Tex-Mex-----YUM! Favorite Hobby ~ Reading!  I can get lost in a good book----especially a good mystery.  I also love to work puzzles. Favorite Music ~ Christian.  I'm actually very eclectic in music tasted, but Big Daddy Weave is my "go-to" when I need encouragement! Favorite Weekend Plans ~ Doing nothing ~ lol!  I love watchin

Move Over, Winter........... Alright, people - I have had ENOUGH of winter!  Many people who know me, know that winter is not my favorite time of the year.  The "winter blues" are real!  Everything from the cold air, ice, and not being able to be outside a lot, winter is a time of year that seems to drag on for me.  Even fall upsets me, because I know that winter is just lurking around the corner! I'm a pretty positive person, so my attitude during the winter months needed a "pick-me-up!"  Because of the negativity I feel toward this season that is actually my oldest daughter's favorite time of the year, I decided to intentionally come up with things that I can appreciate about winter.  (Seeing the glass half-full, people, half-full) Christmas!  My favorite holiday!  Although I could still experience my love of Christmas on a tropical island, Christmas in southwest Missouri is Christmas with my family , whom I love dearly. Yummy food:  Winte
