Macy's senior pictures

I am so tired this afternoon! For some reason, I'm having a hard time recovering from Power Pump on Sunday. I'm still so sore. I've done Power Pump 4 or 5 times and have been fine so I don't know why I'm so sore but I'm not doing Power Pump again until Thursday. I took a break today and will do zumba tomorrow. I went to lunch with my sista today. It's always so good for me to be with girlfriends. I forget how much I need it until I'm with a soul sister and then I realize that I need to be spending more time with my sweet friends. Lamar and I are going to Pug's scrimage game tonight at War Memorial. Lamar's excited. He sure does love football. I love football season. I love the weather when it's cooler, the cheerleaders, the food, the fans, etc. It's just fun! I took Macy's senior pictures this weekend. Yep, I took them. They needed to be done quick so I just decided I'd do it. I told her if she didn't like them, we'd find ...

My baby is a SENIOR!

I cannot believe it...I just can't believe it. I used to always think about when Macy would be a senior. I would always think about how old I would be when she was a senior! :) Now, it's here...her last year at home. Well, probably not her last year but her last year as a high schooler. Through the years when there have been senior Sundays at church, I would always cry thinking of Macy at that age...and now it's here. Here she is on her first day of kindergarden. She went to Walnut Valley and Mrs. Burton and Mrs. Walsh were her teachers. I remember so well that plaid uniform, her big bow, and the red plaid monogrammed backpack. It seems like yesterday. Fortunately, for me, kindergarden was only half day. She loved school. And, now here she is, 12 years later, on the first day of her senior year. She is wearing her senior tee-shirt. May and Charlie Bear. I just cannot believe that Macy is a senior. I can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that this time next year...
I'm sitting here waiting to hear from Lamar. He usually calls in the afternoon and he hasn't today. :( I'm sure he's just busy with patients. I went to Cabot this morning with the family to see Granny. We went to Dixie Cafe afterwards and celebrated Hall's birthday. Rosie sat in my lap which always feel so good. I sure do love that baby girl! What a joy she is! I got me some cute polka dotted flip flops in Cabot at a store next to where Granny stays called Sisters. They were on sale so I got them in red and hot pink. Rosie was so funny...she wanted me to try on these hot pink flip flops with clear bands that had pink rhinestones all over them. She got them down for me and kept telling me to put them on. When I finally did, she said,"thanks!". She LOVES fashion and she loves pink! Those flip flops were so ugly, though! :) Hannah and Rosie rode in the car with me home from Cabot. Rosie watched Strawberry Shortcake. After I dropped them off at mom's, I we...
I wrote this yesterday: I just got back from sculpt class. Wow! That was one hard class! I was actually laughing at the end because it was humorous how hard it was. I asked one of our zumba intstructors what she did other than zumba (because her body is amazing) and she said sculpt class so Hannah and I decided we'd start adding that class to our workouts. Well, I can now see why my zumba instructor has such an amazing body. If anyone can get through that class and do it on a regular basis, there is no way NOT to have a sculpted body. Everyone was saying how sore I was going to be tomorrow....I'm already sore....matter of fact, I was sore in the middle of class! After about killing us with doing leg squats along with arm weights and then having us put weights behind our knees to do doggy kicks, our teacher said, "Okay, now let's get down and do 15 push ups!". HA! :) I really was laughing at this point. Will I go back, though? Why, yes, of course! :) 2 of my favori...
I listened to the Chapman interview with Larry King Live tonight. I watched it on YouTube since we don't have cable. Wow! That family is amazing! What a wonderful witness to others in how they are handling such a tragedy. Lamar and I both cried. I just can't even imagine. After I hear about tragedies such as theirs, I wonder how I could ever complain about anything. There are so many people who are dealing with such hard things in life: death of children, parents dying, miscarriages, terminal illness, etc. Sure I've been through some hard things...but the death of a child.....can't even begin to imagine that kind of heartbreak. It's true, though....the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. I know because the times that I have been the most heartbroken is when I've felt the most loved by God. I know He always loves me more than I could ever imagine but one time when I was so brokenhearted I didn't even think I could go on, He showed Himself to me in th...
