What's on my mind Monday???

Shooo wee!!! The kids are back in school!! We had a great spring break...but it's time
to put the pedal to the metal & finish this school year already!!

What's on my mind this Monday?

First...Matt's grandma...we have been informed she most likely won't make it thru
the week. She has alzheimers & it has been a long road for Matt's mom the last few years
watching her mom's health fail...as his Grandma says...Getting old isn't for sissys!! Amen!
So pray for his family as they say good bye & release her to God's glory in Heaven.

Did I mention spring break? Yea...that's what's next on my mind...u huh. Well, do you
ever have one of those mornings when all 3 of your kids say...Oh yea...I have some
homework I was suppose to finish. I wanted to punt each one of them out the door when
they told me this information about 5 minutes before the bus came!! Which all 3 of them
missed the bus. I don't mind taking them, but I was annoyed!! Grrr!!

I cooked a Leek for the first time today...Eeek!!

Our church secretary Helen...she will be retiring after 23 years of service. She
deserves an extra special jewel in her crown in heaven. Who can put up with
working with ministers for 23 years & still like them & go to church with them???
Not many people!! Ok...you know my man is a minister so I can say such things.
But seriously most people can't handle it....church work....it's just overwhelming to them.

And the broom story...one day...we made our kids clean the dreaded upstairs. It was
bad people!!! Anyway...they were suppose to sweep. They did. But you know 3 kids
can't work together without a fight busting out. Right? Most of their fights end up
in laughter & silliness so it's not that big of a deal. I heard some of it going on up there
but hey...if they were cleaning...I was gonna mind my own business. All went well
& then it was my turn to use the broom...as I started to sweep I thought....This broom
feels weird...cricked...as I looked down at the broom, I was correct. It was bent. It is metal.
Metal does not bend....everyone say it together...yep...it was bent!!!! At this point I should
tell you I just bought this broom with a Target gift card someone gave me. **yes, I'm just
weird like that***. I call all my children down because after 3 sweeps, my broom looks like
this....

Can you see that sharp nasty end? Poor worthless broom. It's for a really

short person now...and girls..I'm not tall by any means. ANYWAY...

all three of them look at each other & say..."sorry". I was like...was anyone

gonna say..."hey mom we were HORSING around & broke your broom."

All I got was....Sorry Mom. I know I know...in the scheme of life...the broom

is a stupid issue. So I told them all they would have to buy me a new broom

& I was going to charge a "didn't tell mom" fee & triple the cost of the broom.

I told them brooms are usually $50...I got a "whatever" and everyone burst into

laughter after that. 

So that's my broom story...I know...right? I love my sweet precious kids. Uh huh!

I have so much more like....

I need to get some plants.

Lauren is doing her first speech today & she is so nervous & so am I. Praying she 

does well.

Ya'll have a great day....Got a broom story out there to share??? What's on your mind?
