I'm baaacckk!

I must say I was embarrassed to see that the last time I logged onto my blogspot page was back in March! I guess I've spent a little too much time in Facebook. I enjoy the blogspot, because it allows me to share what God is doing in my life.
We went to Natchez this past weekend to be with our moms, let the men go to a car show, and celbrate Johnny's birthday. It was fun hanging out with females and shopping. We ate at Mammie's Cupboard, a landmark in Natchez. I'm ashamed to say that I lived in Natchez until I got married, and I'd only been there once. I didn't get to spend as much time with my mom as I would have liked. We've always been very close, but things are different since she remarried. I guess I need to realize how blessed I am that she's not lonely anymore.
Mother's Day was nice. Clayton helped me fold 3 loads of clothes and didn't gripe! He had a choice-fold clothes or clean his room. At least he helped me with my part of the housework. I have realized that I am so quick to gripe about things; especially when it comes to my children-two of the people I cherish the most. This past Mother's Day, my mother-in-law reminded me how blessed we are to have these two in our lives. Not only did I have two difficult pregnancies, Johnny was told early on that he may not be able to have kids. We had two really big strikes against us, but God saw fit for us to be parents- in His time. When they are really driving me bonkers, I think of the Bible verse from 1Sam. that I have painted on Addison's wall, "For this child I have prayed". I am so thankful for God, his blessings, and the lessons that He has been teaching me.
