Enjoyable Insanity

So Saturday I had the whole day off, which hardly ever happens, and so Selah, mom and I decided to go to yard sales! We had a blast found some great deals, came home exhausted, all that fun stuff. Then the some of our closest friends the Partlow's called and we all decided they were going to come up and stay the night with their two kids. So... the house wasn't a mess but it needed a good solid hour of cleaning. Bill was sleeping, since he had to work last night, so it was just lil ol me, no big deal got it done, and it was so worth it cause we love having the Partlows over!
So Bill came home at 6:30 and slept til what I thought was 8:30, come to find out it was in fact 9:30, and by the time i realized it it was 9:45 actually, now i had to get two kids up, one showered, myself showered , fed etc. and I have to be on stage by 10:30 , yeah mothers are pretty good at pulling off the impossible. But since we had both kids birthdays today I was hoping that I could do my hair fix myself up etc. so I would look nice, hmmmmm ....yeah not so much, I went to church with the wet head look, and very natural look for makeup , oh well! God still showed up believe it or not! And Jaime ended up serving cereal and fixing Selah's hair, (cause she is the greatest).
After church we had the party , the kids got some great fun stuff, and we all ate my dads amazing spaghetti! I love my parents so much, they worked so hard on this meal and I can never tell them thank you enough!
I think this blog may end up longer than blogs should be but stay with me it gets better!lol
We had some friends(Adam and Cora ) we hadn't seen in a few years come a little late to the party...( a little late being after we had cleaned up and gone home hehe) but that was actually cool because we got to sit and spend time with them one on one and we had a great time, they are amazing people, I think Cora is one of the sweetest people ever! So we got to hang out with them (eat spaghetti again ), the spaghetti was just as good the second time around! So they left at like 8pm. Shortly after I realized tomorrow is the first day of school!
So..... I had went to get the kids clothes and supplies ready and I had a little bit of freak out moments, feeling unprepared , thinking it was because Aslan didn't have 'new clothes' to wear. Or they didn't have the right school supplies and I just started making myself sick, all the while I was like, what am I doing or thinking. Then it occurred to me what was going on. I am thinking about the first day of school for Aslan, worrying instead of praying. So after Bill got really frustrated with me, I told him what I was feeling and he of course at the moment didn't' understand. So I decided I had to go to the store anyway to get a few things we were missing, and I got in the car and put on a worship cd and prayed and prayed. I walked around walmart with peace, and came home in peace.
I don't know what tomorrow may hold for my little man, but God does and he has ordered his steps , and he has already picked out a friend , just for Aslan. He has a divine set-up in play. Sometimes it just takes me a bit longer to come around sometimes.

The kids and I will sit down RIGHT NOW and pray for Aslan and Selah's first day of school! It's only 7:44 there... so we should hit it right on time! *HUGS*

Thank you so so much, you are the best! That brought tears to my eyes, and we just got back from dropping them off, teachers seemed very nice. Love you guys, wish we were closer so we could do your home school thing with you! I will post when they get home!
