Rare Rare Sighting.....

Me in a Dress...I usually only jack myself into a dress come funeral or wedding time, so this is indeed a rare sighting. This is what happens when you drag me to Dillards to clearance shop, cause that shit is STILL too expensive on clearance. So I wondered into the juniors prom section and started trying on dresses.Then I made friends with the girls in the dressing room and we took pictures, cause I apparently am kin to my moth...

H4G

There is so much more to the name "Hope4Grace" than just what I titled my blog. It's the middle names of my precious children, a way to honor what they mean to my life ... it's also how I try to live my life "I'm hoping for his continued grace everyday". So it's a very privately special thing to me, just in case you ever wondered why it was Hope4Grace.Even if I lose interest in posting on this blog, the name will stay with me for-evah. Cause I'm loyal like that. But fear not to my two readers (hi mom), I'm not going anywhere.Just relecting today on the little name that means so much to ...

Lord Help My Stupid Self

I am too old for this shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhite. Good lord it was difficult to walk upright today, I was tempted to go to work in my mickey mouse pjs and lock myself in the office but I put on my big girl panties and sucked it up. The prayer helped.When my alarm went off and I slid off my tall bed (that seemed like a good idea at the time) my knees checked out and I hit the floor, so I went ahead and prayed for mercy.Four hours of softball on Saturday, then yesterday I lost my ev-ah loving mind. I spent four hours cleaning out the jeep then uninstalling a cargo hold by myself. Cause I'm stupid....

So I've been busy this past forev-ah! Good grief, between work and all that jazz it's been fun and hectic. Dave is on assignment up in Okie country. Miss that man, but life goes on down here. I'll start with today since it's the most recent on my mind. Today Prin tried out for our little town's softball team. She and her BFF are too excited since it's their first year to ever play. Can't believe that after all this time, she finally is showing interest in mom's game. So after a quick hair appt (ummm,...

So things are running along at full speed here. Dave is snowed in up at glorious Tulsa. Just enjoying the shoveling, work and etc. The kids and I are break neck speed here just keeping things going here at home. Piano lessons are good, children are making a joyful noise (ekkk). Prin is still breathing and doing well. Talking with her momma again and keeping me up to date but I"m not holding my breath that we're out of any target bombing areas. The shock has wore off and I'm a quick learner so here we go. Staying one step ahead of her is my new life mission apparently. It's almost like directing...
