Just a Wii bit obsessed...

Don't you love when kids get gifts for Christmas that are fun for you to play with? Madyson and Luke both got a DSi from me and their dad bought them a Wii.

Y'all.

The wii, it has taken over our lives. Madyson must have also received the gift of trash talking in her stocking this year. She will take anyone on at anytime. Bring it. And she's good. The first time I realized she had such a "gift" was while I was doing the bicycle game. She sat there the whole time trash talking me telling me she'd wipe the floor with me, yada yada yada.

She did.

And she beats me at everything. It would be embarrassing to admit the number of hours and effort that it took me to beat her record at wake boarding. She's 7. What has my life come to? I'm trying to beat a 7 year old and I'm annoying when I do.

I don't even attempt to beat the brother at basketball but a rematch is on for tennis. I blame the interference of a 30+ pound 3 year old that was latched on my feet during the game. It's on tonight.

Stay tuned.

Great Friends...

Do any of you have a group of friends that you may not see every day or even every week but you still feel like you can pick right back up where you left off? Isn't it great to have those friends? I have such a group and in fact, I call them family.

It started when I worked with Linda. Then I became friends with her daughter and granddaughters and now I just feel like the long lost cousin. They may feel it's something more like cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation showing up. Don't worry though, I didn't buy approximately $200 worth of dog food while asking them to buy my family's Christmas presents after I parked my condemned motor home in their front yard.

Honestly though, I can't imagine not having this family in my life. We've done a lot of laughing, crying, praying and eating together and I wouldn't trade one second of it.

They invited me over last night and I probably overstayed my welcome but it's hard to leave good company and good food.

I didn't get pics with Marissa or Linda, but here is Brittany and Breiah.

Beautiful aren't they? And they're princesses. It's true. When I can't go to Disney World, I just go see them and have my picture made with them instead. Snow who? Cinda who?

Brittany is my long lost twin. We have twin hair actually, but I just call her my twin.

Thanks for last night. It was a blast!

I'm Back.

I don't even know where to begin. Sorry I've been away for a sweet eternity but life has rendered me unable to think, speak, feel or write. It's been a tough year but I can see the silver lining behind the dark clouds. I've discovered I don't have to understand all the hardships that come, but I do have help from the Father and I understand help is on the way.

So.....if there is absolutely anyone still out there reading that hasn't given up on me, I'm back....and I'm praying hard for a better year.
