LOCK IN

Well, i am now sitting here at church at 3:43 am watching the teenagers play mafia and at this point nothing is making sense but I am nuts loosing my sleep but having lots of fun. Brianna was the first to go to sleep. We have had plenty of games and a great devo from Steven and wonderful singing if you can just think about early/late singing. Well I had my first day at work today and I just want to say it was the best. This is going to be the best year ever. Our new Librarian is going to be great, she is really sweet and wants the library to succeed. I can't believe that school starts back for the kids on the 11th but the staff is on board now. It about killed me to get up at 5:30 this morning and I am still up and very sleepy.

It amazes me how teenagers can entertain themselves. I am definitely not like I use to be all this tells me is that I am having fun but would love to be in bed right about now. They don't even act sleepy. Sally was here but she decided to leave just a while ago. Now Hannah is here with me and she is sitting in Rachel's lap not asleep still hanging in there. Alex keeps telling me "mom shouldn't you go let her lay down on the couch and sleep and I reply by " "son she isn't sleepy she can stay awake if she wants to and she wants to"

Drive In Movie

Jasmine and I decided to go to the Drive-In movie at Winfield we went last night at the 12:00 showing we left home at 11:10 got there and we were somewhat late but that was ok we were there. It has been years since I had been to a drive in movie. Being late to a drive in movie is very embarrassing, we drive up pay and start to drive in and the man hollers to us a radio station that we didn't hear, so one other thing people park crazy in a drive in movie we had to drive down many lines to finally find a space and I pulled in a space so crooked by people sitting out in lounge chairs in the space next to us, so we park and work with trying to find the radio station so we can hear the movie ( I remember going when I was young and we had speakers to put on the windows) we just couldn't figure it out so I said Jasmine ask the boy outside what the channel is and when she finally worked up the nerve she leans out of the car and whispers excuse me excuse me and I am dying laughing and when she finally gets back in the car I get out and go to the stand and ask so now we were ready to settle down to watch the movie when our windshield fogs up so I ask her if she would get out and wipe off the window so here she goes getting out of the car and she runs around the car and it is fogged up in the inside not the outside Jasmine looked like Spiderwoman running around the car and it was so funny, she gets in the car and the light takes forever to go off and she is almost down in the floor board trying to hide so people want see her and I am dying laughing still, I know I missed alot of the movie but I didn't miss Jacob with his shirt off. I think I like going to the inside movies where there are advantages like.
1. Air condition
2. There is always a parking space outside.
3. The seats are comfortable
4. There is no station to figure out to hear the movie. Thank goodness we would never hear a movie if we had to tune into a radio station.
5. Now let me get started on the bathroom. There was two stalls and they were painted bright red a shock to me a little embarrassing.
I was dissappointed with the movie but had a great time there with Jasmine. We always have great trips together even if it is a short trip. She slept all the way home and we got home at 2:45. Everyone needs to go to the drive-in to appreciate the real movies.

What a Great Day

This day was great because I slept in late until 12 which I haven't done in forever. I haven't been able to go to sleep for some reason. I have got to say some things I am blessed for today. First of all I am so blessed to have a home to stay in all day. I didn't go anywhere today I stayed home and cleaned Jasmine's room. Those of you that know Jasmine she can be pretty messy, so I thought I would surprise her when she gets home from work and it be all cleaned up. I have succeeded.

I would like to know if people other than me have a problem keeping vaccuum cleaners to work. I have a fairly new one and it quit on me already. Let me add I have had 2 in the last 2 months. Like I said I am counting my blessings because if one way don't work there is always an alternative way, so I got the wonderful broom and there I go sweeping the carpet which takes so much longer but it worked. So I will attempt to get another one if you read my blog please give me an update on a vaccuum that really works now I don't want to spend a whole lot of money but I do want a good one.

I am getting so excited to go to camp on Sunday. Alex and I will be there a whole week. I will not be in the Kitchen this time I am going to be a counselor. I am so excited about this. I love being with the kids you get to have devotionals every night and it is such a growing experience for me and all the others. Going to camp to me means leaving all the worldly things back. There is no TV now if you are reading this and don't go to camp you are probably wondering how on earth do you do it. The truth is you don't even miss it. There is no radio you don't even get in a car for nothing unless your in Hilltop Cabin and the counselor's will definitely ride up and down the hill. Mia and I will be in a cabin together and we will have a great time. Also at camp we get three meals a day which we do sometimes at home what I mean is full meals which is delicious we have the greatest food at camp and it is hard work. The cooks get up at 5:45 all week to get the meals started and sometimes don't get out of the kitchen until after supper, now it is alot of work but it is fun. We get to go swimming everyday I hope to work on my tan hahaha. We also get to play sports oh no I hope I can have oxgyen. just joking. I can handle it. I sure I will be exhausted come time to go home.

My Monday

Hello everyone that reads my blog. I inherited a kitten and her name is Nala we were at the shop on Saturday and 2 boys came by there and had the kitten and said someone threw the kitten in their yard, so, I couldn't leave it.. She is the sweetest kitten and she has slept all day today. She wants to get right at your neck and just lay there and go to sleep it is so weird. She has a sweet personalty.

When I got up this morning I went to Trussville to meet the towing people. We called Michaels Towing and they said they would be there on Sunday to pick up the car, we called as soon as church was out and they said they would call him back, guess what no call. So Alex called as soon as he got up and asked what was going on and they seemed to not remember he called. I just think they didn't want to come so they didn't. We couldve already had it done but they said they would do it and we waited. But we ended up calling ABC Towing in Trusville they said they would be there at 12:30 so I get there at 12:10 and at 1:10 they still weren't there so I called and they said it would be 15 more minutes so I got smart and went in Target and looked around. They arrived and it took all of 10 min. to load the car and he got a lower rate with this towing company. If you need a vehicle towed DO NOT CALL MICHAELS IN GRAYSVILLE call ABC Towing.

I think my new name for this blogged should be count your blessings because I went to Trusville in Billy's car and it has no air so I decided to think of all my blessings and I counted a bunch and I forgot all about how hot it was outside. I think everyone should take a minute everyday and list their blessings. During the heat i thought about I am so lucky to have air at home. Now let me just say the air at home was out for three days and it was 90 degress in our house. I am thankful for all the hard workers that work in the heat to help people in distress like I was. It is such a hot job and someone has to do it. Thank you to all the heating and air conditioning workers.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful Christian family. I am so proud of them. I don't understand why people judge people. I think people go about judging people the wrong way. My theory is this, I think if people have a problem with you they should not talk to others, they should go directly to the person and talk to them first not to your neighbors.
I am not a perfect person but I don't know but one perfect person and that is God. The Bible says "Judge not that ye be judged" This verse tells me that there will only be one judge and that will be God, not your neighbor, not the people you work with or your friends only God. I am so lucky to be a Christian, A Christian doesn't mean that someone doesn't make mistakes because we all make mistakes, and we should learn from them and not make the same mistakes over and over.
