WI Dells

The kids and I just got back from WI Dells. We had a lot of fun, but it feels good to be home. I don't think I am totally wacko about germs, but I can never relax in a hotel room. I brought some germ killer stuff to spray on the counters and tv remote, but the carpet, couch and bed just wig me out. I just don't know what the family before us left behind. The kids don't seem to get it either, they wouldn't think twice about setting their sandwitch on the couch next to them. AAAAAHHHHHHH !! Don't get me started on the stuff floating in the hot tub!

That's My Girl!!!

Today Megan competed in her first AKC Obedience trial with her dog Samson. She did great!! Megan has been training her dogs for a few years now through 4-H, but this was her first “AKC” show. She received 2nd place and she was up against all adults!!! You can check out her website for a picture or two. www.megadoodledogs.com
Her website is for her dog business, but she has some dog training stuff on there. Feel free to email her (there is a link on her site).

Sunshine here I come

Its offical, I am going on a vacation!! I am excited. I am going without my husband (I will miss you!). I am going without my children (no comment). It is truely a "vacation". As my friend Renae pointed out the other day.... A vacation with your family isn't really a "vacation" for the Mom. If you are with your family its called a "trip". So this will be the 1st annual Mom vacation. Now to start all the family scheduling so that everyone gets to where they need to be without Mom home.

Pre-School Musical

I am not a huge movie buff, but I have seen a few "musicals". There are the classics and a few that are really wierd. Growing up I watched "Grease" a fair (sp?) number of times. It's not like I don't enjoy them, but something was always a little strange about a musical. I always felt like they weren't realistic ...who goes around singing and dancing like that. I know, I know most movies aren't realistic, but really breaking into song and dance? Anyway, I was in my bathroom fixing my hair and was thinking about "Muscials" and Mikkena was in the shower singing and dancing. She was making up the words about water, soap and how much she loved taking a shower. Then it hit me...Mikkena's life is a musical. She will sing about wanting another waffle, about her Dad, or just reply to a question. She will dance around just about any time she can. I started to laugh!! Through Mikkena I discovered that Musicals are "realistic" to some people. Maybe I should sing and dance more.

My 1st Blog Entry

I have been thinking about developing a Blog for some time now. Most days I've talked my self out of it. I am not a great writer, but I think my goal is worth giving it a shot.

The goal for my Blog has a few parts:
1. To share how I see God in my daily life.
2. To rejoice and be glad while sharing with others.
3. To help me find Joy in the small things.
4. To have a little fun.
