A letter..
Dear Hormones,
You drive me CRAZY!
When you are here, I am unreasonable, irrational, ugly on the inside, and all around nuts.
Please leave me alone.
I know my husband and children would be forever grateful.
Regards,
Sara
P.S. I know you will come find me again in a few weeks...YOU AREN'T WELCOME!
**********************************************
Been a rough couple days, can you tell? ;)

Never will forget...
I remember as a kid, people would say "I remember where I was when JFK was shot, or Martin Luther King Jr." "Do you remember when, Elvis died? they would say". I could never figure it out. Why in the world would these occasions be etched into someones mind for l.i.f.e.
8 years ago today, I remember as if it was just yesterday. I was standing in the hallway and I remember a fellow teacher saying that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.
I remember thinking, "that's why I don't like to fly, I wonder where the World Trade Center is?"
Then it all came out. The horrible crash, the building collapsing, the Pentegon attack, the plane in Pennsylvania...I didn't think it was going to end.
I frantically called Adam who was in college and BEGGED him to come home. I called my dad and begged him NOT to go to work. He couldn't. SOMEONE HAD TO PROTECT US. Parents were picking up their children left and right. I just knew the world was ending.
I went home and on the way stopped for gas. Everyone else was too, I thought they surely knew something that I didn't, so I better stop too. The traffic was horrible. People were crying, looking distraught. I didn't quite get the picture, I had yet to SEE the news. Just heard the radio.
When I got home, mom was as big of a mess as I was, which doesn't happen. Ever. She was watching the events on t.v. I hadn't yet had the opportunity to see the footage (at the time, we didn't have good internet at school-if any.) I was crying asking mom if we were going to be okay. She stated she didn't know, and we should go to church. So we did.
We sat with others, praying, for the unknown. What a vulnerable feeling.
I hope that in my lifetime, in my kids lifetime, in their kids lifetime, nothing like that happens again. EVER!
On the news this morning they showed the front cover of a newspaper, that had President Obama and a quote-"Today, we are all New Yorkers" (or something like that.) While I know that it happened in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. It effected all of US some way. Because we are ALL AMERICANS!.
Maybe it is eery to hash out all those feelings again, maybe it isn't. Either way, I felt the need today. I know that I will NEVER forget.

Labor Day Weekend-Part 2
Sunday we spent the day at mom and dad's. It was g.r.e.a.t!
We went fishing. Dad caught a big Bass!
The girls just played their tails off, in honest-to-goodness fun.
I really am a country girl at heart. I love it. The bugs and other critters, not a huge fan, but I could get past that!
Thanks for putting up with us mom and dad (and Barb and Phil) we really had a great time!

Ham and Beans...
Just having a nice dinner of ham and beans.
Anne says (out of no-where) "Hey guys?! Why do hummingbirds hum???"
We say-"WHY?"
Anne says-"Because they don't know the words" followed by her slapping the table and giggling until I thought beans were going to come out of her ears.
Her laughing is soooo contagious!
This is the life....

Labor Day Weekend-Part 1
Saturday morning we headed to Southeast Missouri where both mom and dad were born and raised and where Adam's parents have a country home as well.
We stopped in to see Grandma Verseman. Anne was beside herself to see "MeeMaw Great". We had a wonderful visit. The girls were well behaved. The nursing home has a 'bunny garden' where there are live bunnies to see, it was a nice visit. The best part. My grandma had her NAILS PAINTED! Too cute.
Back on the road, we headed to the Wedel's. PawPaw had fun things planned, vegetable picking, wagon rides, and just all around good times.
I took a TON of pictures so stay tuned for Sunday's adventures!

T.G.I.F.
It's FRIDAY! WHOOP WHOOP! It's also a long weekend!
We are heading to the Country Life this weekend.
A whole weekend of nothing but running, screeching, fishing, sitting, everything that has to do with relaxing and fun-we hopefully will be experiencing.
Now, this leads to the picture. I have put off a lot of things this week so my to-do list is long, very long.
As I have been scurrying around, I remembered the quote that is on my FAVORITE picture that Adam bought me this summer.
It really is my mantra. :)
Happy Friday, and Happy Labor Day!
~Chat soon!
P.S. Susan, we will be in Perryville around 9:30am. Hope to see you! :) (sniff!)
