yesterday started out great
but in an effort to keep it real, i'll give you the whole story.
savannah received a large packet from the honors program
at UGA
inviting her to their program!!!
that's huge.
obnoxious mom alert here
please forgive me
but supposedly 2% of students are actually invited.
so proud of that girl!!!
we got all ready to head out to our church's Christmas eve service.
took pics with each of my girls
which is a rarity in itself!
the weather was beautiful & in the 50's...my kinda winter i'll admit!
the service was great but ran a bit late.
no biggy right?
so we stopped in to waffle house for a quick bite.
which turned into the dinner from hell.
which honestly is not the usual drama at waffle house
(& yes tesha, i do eat at waffle house!)
we waited & waited & waited
only then to be served the wrong food.
it was ridiculous.
one of the girls accidentally spilled cherry coke all over dan.
& i do mean, all over dan.
i snapped at one of the girls on the way out.
got in the car & tried to simmer down.
i was the one in charge of my disposition
not waffle house.
just all that & pms on the same night, not a good mix.
came home
at 9flippin30
feeling the night slipping away
did two loads of laundry
( for said cherry coke drenched clothing)
took a hot bath & realized i needed to adjust my
crappy attitude.
the girls were resilient
& inspired me to choose a happy disposition.
we hid the pickle ornament in the tree
& timed each of them as they searched for it.
the winner being able to open the first gift
on christmas morning
& choose their favorite bag of candy.
caroline had declared her domination only to be shut out by big sissy.
a little consolation cup of milk & we were back in business.
on a serious note,
my heart has been completely full of thoughts & prayers for
( click on hyperlink to read her story)
she lost everything in her home as it burned to the ground a few days ago.
her family is safe
& i rejoice in that.
however, my heart is broken for all she lost.
i can't imagine.
i described edie to my family as an amazing woman.
she is a historian , making the simple moments in her home magnificent.
a family practice physician who recently left her practice to stay home & raise her family.
she does all things
& does all things well.
gorgeous, intentional, brilliant, spiritual,amazing mom.
she has been a huge inspiration to me.
please remember her in your prayers.
ps....i just looked outside & its snowing!!!
a Christmas miracle in Atlanta
i may prefer my 50 degrees but snow on Christmas is magical
Merry Merry Christmas to each of you
your comments, emails & friendships have blessed me immeasurably!!
