Squirrel Is In

Schedule, kid news, weather report and asking God another favor...

I have been so busy.  I have volunteered myself into a corner!  I literally have every day of the week booked!  And now I'm running for city office!  Am I crazy?  Yes definitely. 

This is my week:

Sunday morning: Church and teach Sunday school.

Monday night: Little league football practice and Quarterback Club meeting.

Tuesday night: Man the T-shirt table at the Jr. high school football games.

Wednesday night: Help to supervise 70 kids at church youth program.

Thursday night: Little league football practice.

Friday night: High school football games.

Saturday mornings: Little league football games.

Well it looks like I'll only be that busy during football season then it should slack off and I can relax.

Speaking of football my teenage son actually caught an interception last night at the scrimmage.  This is the first time he's had the ball in his hands in all the years of playing since he is a lineman.  That kid hasn't stopped talking about it or grinning for that matter.

My beautiful smart daughter started college last night!  I'm soooo proud of her! She's going to be a paralegal.  She's been working in an attorneys office for several years now and makes good money but this will really help her career.

And my oldest son is doing really great working with his dad and has gotten several raises recently.  He just moved to the big city a couple of weeks ago and I hardly ever am going to get to see him!  I've probably been driving him crazy calling every couple of days.

C-man, the 8 year old that had so much trouble in school last year is doing great this year in third grade. He hasn't been in trouble at all this year so far.  I know school just started but him going more than a day or two without getting in trouble is amazing.

I haven't mentioned the weather.  Bad.  Very bad.  Remember last year when I was begging you all to pray for rain?  Well y'all prayed too hard.  We have gotten 52 inches of rain so far this year!  The bridge south of town washed out last weekend when we got 10 inches in one night!  My Sunday school class flooded and so did two of my neighbors houses.  And yes folks it is overcast and looks like rain again today.  You guys must all be in good with the Lord for him to listen to you so well so could you tell him that we in Oklahoma really appreciate his getting us out of the drought but could we ask one more tiny favor and have him cut back on the amounts of rain? 

Thanks! :)

Rain, mosquitoes, fireworks, magnets, and margaritas...

It is 3:32pm and so far it hasn't rained today.  The grass actually dried out enough that I could mow the lawn.  I was attacked by mosquitos.  Thank goodness they really don't like my blood or else I have some sort of immunity to their venom because even if they get all over me I don't get those red itchy spots others get.  If it rains sometime today before midnight it will be the 19th consecutive day of rain.  There are alot of betting pools going on around here on what day the rain will stop.  Not being a gambler I didn't get in on this but I really thought it would rain until tomorrow.  I hope it doesn't rain on the fourth of July because this small town has the best fireworks show i've ever seen, well except for Tinker Air Force Base.  Their show was always really awesome but the crowds were terrible.  Our church has a huge cookout and then we all go out to our little football stadium and lie down on the bleachers with blankets and pillows and watch fireworks for what seems like a couple of hours.  The AG Boosters club serves free homemade ice cream too.  It's great small town fun.

Today was my hubbys and my first day of teaching Sunday School and I had a cheesy great craft project of a refridgerator magnet with the bible verse on it for the kids to make. I'll get a picture next week of mine to show you.  I left mine at the church.  But unfortunately our class rooms are on a lower floor of the church and the classes got flooded.  No major damage because we were expecting it and got everything to higher ground.  So we didn't get to go to our class and we ended up mixing all the classes together and letting them play in the gymnasium instead.  Hopefully everything will be dried out by next Sunday and the kids can do the art project I planned.

Well that's about it.  I'm on my way over to a friends to consume some magaritas.  Have a GREAT weekend everyone and I'll visit your blogs tomorrow!
