Victoriously Frazzled

Yes, that is the name of a Bible study, but totally how I feel at this present moment in my life.  We are in the heat of things with basketball, the girls have done great this year.  We are fighting for 3rd place, a playoff spot.  Three years of perseverance has paid off...hopefully....if Union Grove will stop beating people they aren't supposed to:)  Leaving Bowie was tough, really tough, but now its coming full circle again.  These girls have gone from 3 and 22 seasons to fighting for a playoff spot!  amazing!  So frazzled a little right now about bball, victoriously though!  i know that God has it in his hands, he knows the outcome already! 

Frazzled - we had meetings last week with our principals and basically, we have no money and more than likely they are going to have to let people go and make cuts in departments (i'm sure athletics will be the first one) we have so much at our school that needs fixing, updating, tearing down and building new.  No money kind of hurts all of those needs.  I have suggested a 4 day school week and was asked to put together some info for the administrators on that.  So research on my part, phone calls and putting together a power point of some sort.  sometimes i think its a curse to let people know that you have a functioning brain...they always ask you to do things :) 

Frazzled - my oldest turned 10 yesterday....10 people!!! Am i old enough to have  a child that is in the double digits????  Totally kidding, but it is un-nerving to know that in less than 8 years, he will be heading off to college, making decisions that feel like they weren't that long ago for me!  He is an amazing kiddo with a huge heart!

Both the boys are playing little dribblers and PARD bball right now, it is totally fun!  We are good spectator parents, we totally get out of coach mode and just let them play (at the games anyway; there is of course some coaching that goes on at home!)  Rielyn has said she wants to play softball....i say softball bc when i told her it would actually be tball, she said, i don't want them to put it on the stick, i want someone to throw it to me!  and she was serious!  this should be interesting!

Lots of sickness going around, i stayed home last wednesday with a headache, sore throat and swollen eyes!  keep us in your prayers that we don't get sick (flu, stomach bug, phenomonia, etc) 

COLGAT group is going amazingly well!  Even if it changes just one girls life, it is totally worth it....still uncomfotable for me bc it requires me to OPEN up to people and put myself out there; getting better but awkward at times....totally God's working not mine! He opened this door and its amazing!

Hope things are going well, will try to update more often once bball is over....which i hope is a long ways off....playoffs baby, playoffs! love to you all!
