So anyway...
What a busy weekend we have had at our house!
Friday was an "in-service day" @ work to get the classrooms ready for the summer switch over. This meant we had to clean & scrub EVERYTHING from the celings to the floors, plus any rearranging & updating of files, so we can be ready for a great new start for Tuesday AM.
Friday afternoon, we had to finish cleaning the house, get groceries & supplies for a birthday slumber party for my now 12-year-old daughter (on Wed) & 3 of her friends. Insanity.
Saturday AM, we had to get the girls out of the house (invites said 10:30 AM) so that we could get ready for a b-day surprise for Lizzie. My folks said they would be getting her b-day gifts to her by the weekend. Liz has been checking the mail & hoping for either UPS or FedEx to be showing up with SOMETHING! Just after 1:00 PM, my mom & dad showed up on the doorstep with b-day gifts for Lizzie. She was SO surprised!! So, this also meant my folks were staying Sat. PM.
Sunday, we all got up & went to church, then out to lunch before mom & dad headed back for KC. As we were eating, my hubby got a phone call that had him leaving the table @ the restaraunt...
Chelsea called from Vegas & was having a very hard time...her mom & boyfriend told her she was not to live with them & needed to come live with her dad, and that they had no respect for her. Normally she we would told from our side to let things cool down & see what happens, but...this isn't the first time she's been told that. So sad.
So...June 10th, we are getting a 16-year-old in our household, along with our 12, 10½ & 3-year-old children. WHEW!
This is another child in school here, updated chore lists, possibly another vehicle, higher grocery bills & less eating out. I'm sure there is a whole lot more that I am leaving out, but no matter how you look at it, it is going to be a BIG change for us...again.
Pray for Chelsea & her heart; she is hurting right now. Pray for us as we prepare for continued madness. Although, I know it is God's will that she needs this change in her life.
Stay tuned...
God Bless, AM~Erica
P.S. ~ My voice is mostly back. YEA!
This weekend was really fun! We surprised Lizzie, had good meals, heard a super sermon from Chris, enjoyed really great music in two services, had fun with the best grandkids in the world, were absolutely amazed at the scripture signing Erica can do ...having learned it in only one hour, and had a rainless trip back to Belton on Sunday afternoon. Whew! I'm tired! We'll pray for Chelsea and her assimilation into the wild Williams household. We'll pray for peace and tranquility. Did God just laugh? You forgot to mention a rambunctuous (sp?), puppy named Casey to add to the mix of "three-ring circus". God won't give you more than you can handle.
