Road Trip!! and Report Cards

I'm leaving in just a few minutes to go on a road trip w/ a friend from church. I'm excited.. just me and a friend getting away!!! Brian has the kids till tomorrow night. he'll be fine i'm sure. i'm not worried at all. it'll be good for him, right. yeah it will:)


Mattie made 99's in all subjects. She's on the A Honor Roll for the 1st 6 weeks. Can i get a "oh yeah" from the crowd-ya gotta say it like Peggy Hill off of the tv show "king of the hill"! wow. that's about all i can say. oh and THANK YOU JESUS!

An apology

I had to apologize to Mattie Monday night. She immediately forgave me and said, "Thats ok". immediately. not a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades...immediately. it's a very freeing experience to have to ask your child for their forgiveness and admit you were wrong. if only i could do as she did. yesterday, Ryder and i were in the car and he kept saying i did something the i didn't do so i explained to him in a rather loud voice that i didn't do it. he said, 'stop yelling at me mom'. later he did something and told me he was sorry...out of the blue and on his own. i immediately felt convicted and said i was sorry for 'yelling' at him.

if only we as adults could follow in their footsteps....hhhmmmm.
