I'm still around here somewhere...

Yes, I'm still here, somewhere...lol I noticed most of my last posts have just been pictures of something we've done or somewhere we've been. I realize, I haven't really posted much of anything but that. It's because it's been a very busy month and my online time has been really limited. We've had so much going on behind the scenes. I keep waiting for my break to come, but so far It hasn't and I'm okay with that. Really I am.

Guess what?!?! We snuck away on a much needed vacation. We took a trip to TN over the weekend and had a pretty good time:) Well, everyone except Bailey. The curvy roads made her car sick even after 4 doses of dramamine. "Dear Sandy, please remember to give the dramamine before the car starts next time, because after the vomit comes the med won't work. Thanks, Me" . Bailey said, "Aunt Sandy, I'm never, ever, ever, going back to those mountains". Bless her heart . But, other than that the trip was a nice little getaway for us.

 I managed to get a kid registered and ready for school in one week. Our JJ starts kindergarten Wednesday. I didn't think he would still be with us, so I had not registered him for school. He is being matched with a forever family (being adopted). They had him matched ,but the first family fell threw. So now we wait for the next match. I found out last week that he would still be with us at least for the first week of school, so off on a mad shopping spree I went. While I was out going crazy with all the other crazy moms I remembered why I LOVE homeschooling so much. geeee...it's a lot of work getting kids ready for public school. Not to mention all the red tape & paper work. If you think registering your kid is tough, try registering a kid that's not yours...grrrrrrr It's been a headache.

Other than that, we've been getting ready for BB's hospitalization next week. He will spend Monday & Tuesday at Children's in Atlanta. We've been meeting all his new therapists and getting ready for our next round of doctor visits. We've had visitation with grandparents, physicals on the kids, a trip to the dentist,a goodbye party, court on BB, we visited the farmer's market, spent a day with Maxine at the pool (ahhhh...relaxation), packed most of Z's stuff (he may leave us next week *tears*), started work on our kitchen, we are planning for Katie's (late) bridal shower which is Saturday, went to church Sunday ( & enjoyed Troy Hall's sermon), spent Sunday with my parents, and we have not just one, but three HAPPY birthdays this week. That's what I've been up to. How about you?

As soon as I get the time I'll add those pictures too *SMILE*...lol

From Sandy located somewhere here in GA. Have a great rest of the day:)

The perfect summer playground...

These last few days have been HOT! To hot for the kids to really enjoy playing outside. So today, I decided we needed to do something outside that was  fun and cool.  I thought it would be fun to take the sweet peas to play in the fountain...so we did! They had a blast!

My Littles...

My three little Sweet Peas.

Adalyn, Brookelyn, and Carter.

Who is who?
Adalyn- is my step-granddaughter
Brookelyn- is my granddaughter
Carter- is my foster grandson
But we don't call them step or foster.
They are all my babies.
They are my Littles
and PawPaw & MeMe
think they are grand.
Someone wrote and asked
me yesterday,
so I wanted to clear that up:)

She's a butterfly...




She's A Butterfly- By Martina Mcbride

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day
she learned to sing
Then the colors came, erased the
black and white
And her whole world changed
when she realized


[Chorus]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly


Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you want to cry, she's so beautiful

[Chorus]
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground.


She's my butterfly!


Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
