I must say that August is a busy and emotional month for me and my family. You may need a few minutes to read this one but I hope you can share some of my craziness with me!
Friday 15th:
Alexis' birthday if this Friday the 15th, I am having her Birthday Party on the 16th at the Little America Hotel Pool. You may think...this sounds like a great time. Well, the weather channel is saying that we can expect a high of 58 degrees that day. So, I am a little nervous about how everything will turn out. (All I can do is pray)
Saturday 16th:
Okay, so if Alexis' birthday party is not enough to stress me out. Joe is trying out for the Raptors Traveling Baseball Team. When he is at a baseball tryout I honestly need to be sedated! You may laugh but I worry so much about him and know how much all of this means to him that I cannot focus on anything else. Now, I was very impressed at how he handled the news of not making the All Stars team but to be honest with you, his first choice of teams to play on is the Raptors. So, this adds to the stress! Lets not forget that my Grandmother has finally gotten her apartment and is wanting to move Saturday morning. This shall be fun - (Pray for Clint and Myself, Alexis, Joe and Dorothy!)
Sunday 17th:
All of Alexis' little friends that stay the night in the Hotel with me are to be leaving approx. 10am on Sunday. I figure 10am is about as late as I will be able to handle up to 8 little girls who are tired from being up most of the night! (Pray for my Sanity)
Monday 18th:
Monday is the 8th anniversary of my Mom's passing. I miss her so much and everything that I do with my family and friends makes my heart even heavier without her presence. She would absolutely love my husband. He would have respected her for who she is and that is something she cherished; True human beings who can love unconditionally. She would be so proud of Joe, Hailey and Alexis. Alexis looks a lot like my Mom ~ My Mom would have been amazed at how much she resembles her. (Please pray for me)
Tuesday 19th:
Happy 10th Birthday Joe - It is amazing to know that my once "baby" will now be in the double digits. He has grown up to be so responsible and is truly now a young man ~ Time flies. Thankfully, I had Joe's party a few weeks ago at Water World with his two best buddies.
(Pray for Joe)
Friday 22nd:
Happy Birthday Dorothy! What a special year this will be ~ I can actually spend her Birthday with her. I haven't been able to wrap my arms around her sweet neck on her Birthday for 9 years. The last time I did was the day of my Mom's viewing - it was not a birthday or event for either my Grandma or Myself to remember. (Pray for Dorothy)
I cannot forget that I am hosting Clint's 40th Birthday party this evening! His real Birthday will be two days away but I wanted to be sure and have a "get together" with our friends and family to celebrate the 40 years he has already had on this Earth and the 40+ years to come that he and I will have together. His party is at Uncle Charlies (Bar and Grill/Tavern) We have had many RSVP's so it will be a fun evening. (Pray for Clint and our Guests)
Sunday 24th:
Happy 40th Birthday Clint! I have purchased great tickets for the Kids and I to treat Clint to a Colorado Rockies Game. We will have such a fun day! I have become such a baseball fan so this will be a treat for Clint, Myself, Joe and Hopefully Hailey and Alexis can find something to love about it too! (Pray for Us)
Tuesday 26th:
Jessup Ice Cream Social - It is hard to believe but the school year starts tomorrow for the kids. Thankfully ~ I truly think life is much easier on EVERYONE when the kids are in school and their schedules are much more structured. (Pray for the Children)
Wednesday 27th:
1st Day of School - Although I shouldn't get the teary eyes and a heavy heart on the first day of school anymore, having done this numerous times, I still do! I think it is because I realize that they are all growing so quickly and life seems to pass by way to fast for me. I want to just slow down life and savor every moment.
(Pray for the Kids and their Parents!)
So - If you did not feel sorry for me before, I am guessing you do now. But I am not looking for any sympathy. After every days description you notice that I am asking for prayer. (Thankfully) I have found as I have gotten older that really there is not a whole lot you can do when life seems to be crazy and out of control but the one constant that will always be there for support is God ~ So please pray for me and my family as we get through the rest of August. We all need it.
