What I am trying to remember these days...

1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (NIV)

What have I been doing the past few weeks...

We are finally ready.  Well, the kids are at least.  Supplies are now packaged to take to Meet the Teacher on Tuesday.  The kids are ready.  Mom is not.  I am not looking forward to the running around that comes with children attending public school.  We seem to get much more done in the day when I am not shuttling little people to and fro in the morning.  I refuse to send my children on the bus.  My own issues, but only one child is offered bus service anyway.  Next Wednesday is the day.  I will post first day of school pictures then.  I still don't know what to send them in yet though.  We will see what I come up with.  Last week before school fun and playdates all week.  This afternoon we are headed to the last Lego building scheduled for the summer.  Love the summer library program.  Well, I am off to make lunch.  Later my friends...

14 years...

of marriage today.  Too bad my hubby is in Cleveland this week, but thus is the life of a family who is in the middle of a relocation.   Thanks for the flowers babe!

Accepting things I can not change...

so we are still here in our unsold house.  I made the decision a few weeks ago that I had to get started getting the kids ready for the school year.  We have spent several days shopping for school supplies, organizing said supplies, checking out fall clothing in the closets, deciding what needed to be purchased as far as fall clothing.  Aidan did not need very much due to the generosity of a friend who gifted me with 5 pairs of brand new Levi's jeans.  She had bought them the year before and her boys seemed to have skipped that size.  They are too big for my Aidan right now, but they should fit him by Christmas time and into the new year.  Ainsley essentially needs a new fall wardrobe as she has grown so much since the last school year.  I bought her a few things to get her started.  I will pick up more as we go on into the fall/winter.  I also went ahead and got the kids enrolled in their fall activities, swimming and flag football.  I also signed myself up for fall bible study.  I am going to be going through Beth Moore's Daniel.  Should be interesting as I always find her studies, but I will also need to get myself out of the house to keep my mind off of our sale process.

Still praying for the sale of our house.  We reduced our price and are having yet another open house this weekend it seems.  I am sick to death of open houses as I feel the people that attend them are really not interested in buying a house.  They are either shopping or know us in some way and checking out where we live, which is the creepier of the two scenarios by far.  Pressing onward.

Tomorrow is a big day for the hubby and I.  Unfortunately he is out of town this week, but we will try to celebrate this weekend.

Well, I am off.  Big things to come in the next week.  Kids back to school 9/1.  Ugh.  They are excited and for that I am grateful.  Leaving you with a photo of my summer bounty.  I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with.  I may pick up some canning supplies if I am brave enough!

At a loss for words...

of late.  I don't really have a whole lot to say these days.  We have had many fun activities and outings these past few weeks.  Trying to keep a positive mindset while I am turning my thoughts to getting the kids ready for a new school year.  Lots of teeth being lost here as well this summer!  The last few weeks have served us with many hot humid days.  Days in which I miss central air!  I really haven't fallen off the planet and I will get back to regular blogging one of these days.  Miss you my bloggy world.
