Nothing

And so begins my 3 weeks of silence. Saturday morning my 2 beautiful daughters left to be with granny and papa Garringer for 3 weeks in Arkansas. So far our house has been way to quiet. Mommy has found that she really doesn't like it all that well, maybe I just need to turn up the TV blurring loud to help with that. I have found time to call the girls a total of 5 times so far and plan on 6 times by the end of the day. Daddy will be working overnights while the girls are gone, therefore leaving alot of alone time. Many things are in my plans, but getting started has seemed to be the problem. See for 2 1/2 years all my life has really consisted of is changing diapers, consoling crying children, and all the things a normal mommy would do. Having zero mommy responsibilities has left sitting in a quiet room. I began to ponder yesterday afternoon about what to do first, and to be brutally honest this is what I came up with. Do Nothing. That's right yesterday afternoon I did nothing and so far today I have done nothing. Well I guess you can say I did something, such as watch 3 movies last night, eat 2 sonic burgers without anyone asking me for a bite, walk up and down the aisle of the grocery store without telling a single child to sit down in the grocery cart, eat a whole bag of popcorn by myself, and than this morning wake up at 9:00 take a long shower and off to church with no children to drop off at the nursery. Maybe for some this is doing something, but for me, my stance is that I have done nothing since my children have left. Maybe tomorrow I will get to those dishes, the laundry that so lovingly awaits, and the trash that is over flowing... just maybe....

SNIP IT THURSDAY,Due Date

As I sit today I want to thank our Father above for my son. See today was my actually due date, but 6 months ago my precious son went to be with the Lord. I thank our Father for all the lessons I have been taught through losing a child. Snip It Thursday is another tribute to my son.

Granton is coming home!!!!

Granton Bayless is a walking miracle and blessings to all who know his story. Within the last 8 months his faith driven parents have inspired so many to trust God for their own miracles. On Mon the 24th of this month Granton's parents will once again experience the amazing grace of their Savior. After a long journey through good and bad moments Granton will be coming home to Bolivar! When Granton left the hospital it was an amazing moment to see him arrive at the Ronald Mac house in KC but for now Ronald will have to stay behind. Granton is moving on to bigger and better things. Congrats to his mommy and daddy for walking in the way of our Savior. Check out Granton's storyhere.

3 week goals

First today I want to say Happy Birthday to my DAD!!! Have a great day daddy!!!!

I have several projects I would like to complete in the next 3 or so weeks. Pretty soon my girls will be traveling to grandma's house and mommy will have alot of time on her hands. It will be kinda weird without either of them around, but it will give mommy plenty of time to get some much needed things done. I have a plan to complete these things but after my 3 weeks are up, we will see if I stuck to my plan...

1. Get the garage cleaned out (not that it has much in it)... My plan is to put all toys inside for the winter... The garage will be multi-purpose... Used as a winter play room and to park the jeep or car in during really cold nights....

2. Write out our testimony about going through Miscarriage. Tomorrow was Brandell's actually due date (Nov 20th).... Mommy could use all the prayers she can get tomorrow... I plan on visiting Brandell's grave site Friday.

3. Finish my holiday bags. This year we are planning to give our families a bag that contains items to make somores. I have began the bags but they need some more work!

4. Do some scrap booking. I love to scrap book, but when Brilynn was born, this kinda got shoved to the side, I really want to begin working on my half way done books again...

5. Make a recipe book... I have so many recipes written and this paper or that... I guess I just need to scrap book them all to get them all in one place...

6. Redo my blog page... I don't really like the looks of it... but I don't have alot of time to work on it, you know with toddlers pushing all the buttons on the keyboard for me...

Banner

My idea is to have my pics either smaller on my side bar of the blog, or have a banner on top with pics and the name of our blog... I need help...
