WELLLL...

it's been awhile. I have a new camera...so I'll have to read up on how to use it and then load into Lauren's little computer that has no card slot. Yes...it's that detailed (the camera), and I'm that technologically slow!!

Beautiful Music

Lauren's band concert was last night-and it was WONDERFUL!!! I am always so proud of her:) Abigail got to go along and she seemed to really enjoy it. I hope she and Lauren can remain close as they get older!! I'm a lucky mommy..and Shannie (to Abigail)!!!

it has already started!!!

Okay-it is not even 8:00 and people are already convinced to be hateful!! So far I'm noticing it rather than being bothered by it-so better start to the day!!!

Misery Loves Company

It amazes me more and more as I get older how people (adults who should know better) thrive on putting others down. More often than not I can be in a great mood-and somebody comes along BOUND & DETERMINED to rain on my parade. STOP IT!!! And more importantly, self, stop allowing it to happen. I have had SO much (what I call) DEAP time lately...Drop Everything And Pray...but I still am discouraged with myself that I allow things under my skin before I get there. I shouldn't let things frustrate me so-but I'm only human. I know my prayers should be that I hope for others to escape the urge to bring down others...(Once again-only human)...so that is my goal. (And I could use your thoughts & prayers please) Nobody (and their satan driven hatred/behaviors) should EVER fluster me!!! Here's to turning over a new leaf. Along with prayers for myself/friends/family...I need to think of those who do not always please me. They need it too!

We have some good news!

Every kid who went on an audition for the school play will get a part!!! BRILLIANT!!

Part II

Lauren made it through her audition:) I am SO proud of her for giving it a shot..I think we'll find out in a couple days (?) Either way I'm proud of her for the effort..it takes nerve to even audition!!

Good Luck Lauren!!

I am sitting in the hall at Lauren's school while she has her audition for the play!! She has to sing and go through some lines...she is SO nervous!!!
