Okay, I'm worn out and feel like I need to be in a nursing home somewhere making Christmas potholders because I can't do anything else! Wait. What am I saying? I can't make potholders either. Alan is gone to Miami this week and I thought that me and the kids could put the Christmas decorations out and put the tree up tonight and surprise Daddy when he got home. WRONG! I got the tree out of the box and once I figured out the middle section was actually the middle and not the bottom.... I couldn't get the crazy thing plugged in. I mean there are three plugs and they are even numbered. 1,2,3. BUT I would have had to bend the tree in half to get them to each other. There is NO way they reach!!!!! The saddest thing is that about 5 minutes after me trying to get the lights to come on Zoe said " Call Daddy! He will tell you how to do it." So, if you have any hints on how to make the lights on my kids Christmas tree come on please share! hahahha

Sorry, but I can't give you any pointers...that's what men are for. Putting up Christmas trees and taking out the garbage! :) Among other very important things that women can't do.

At least your trash got taken out! My husband promised to take it to the dump himself because he had an early flight. When I came home, guess what I found...the trash!

Now I know exactly what we are here for. I'm sorry that I couldn't help all of you fine ladies take out the garbage. It's kinda hard to do from MIAMI!

Did you try plugging all the strands together and plugging them into the wall so that they are lit up and THEN putting them on the tree? That's how I usually see people doing it.

Alan and Linda,

This is Brittany Holland from Alan's Sunday School class.

First: Linda, Do not be discouraged about the Christmas tree dilemma. I had trouble with my 18 inch tree. Sad? Yes. So, needless to say I better not venture a suggestion on working on a "full size tree."

Second: I want to say to Alan, I have been sick for what seems like forever and have had family issues over the past several weeks, but am looking forward to getting involved in our Sunday school class actively starting this week!

Third (and Last): Just wanted to say Praise God for you Linda and your decision to accept Christ recently. I too made that glorious decision on the Sunday of your baptism after a lot of struggling and praying and finally, time on my face before God. I look forward to getting to know you both in the near future! Thanks for sending the email giving us the link to your blog. I love blogging and recently started my own apart from my facebook account. If you ever want to visit, it can be found at:

Your new sister in Christ,
Brittany Holland

Just some questions......

By
These are a few questions that have been stirring in my mind for several months. 1.Can one actually receive Christ and not live for Him until years later? 2.Can the Holy Spirit dwell in someone for 5, 10, 15 years and it not change a person? 3.What does it mean when someone says "I have been saved for many years, but NOW I'm ready to get serious about my faith?" or "get serious with God" Many people state a similar tale.... Raised in Christian home, saved at an early age, lived like a "normal" teen, experimented in college, got married and had some kids, and NOW I want to get real with God. This concept is somewhat disturbing to me. It is disturbing because that is how I was living my life for so long. Have you ever made a profession of faith? If you have look at your life 5 years after that moment..... are you 5 years more worldly? or 5 years more Christ like? do the same thing for 10 years? 15 years? And so on... God starts working on or molding His ...

Do I have to have a Christmas Tree??

By
I'm having a Christmas tree crisis this year. I have to laugh because well its one of those "that only happens to me" things. You may know that I was unable to get the Christmas tree's light to work when I originally tried to get it up one night last week. All week I patiently waited for Alan's return so he could get the lights working and we could decorate and all would be well in the land of Christmas trees. Alan started looking at the tree and he determined that it was just a broke tree. ( this was determined after shaking and twisting every single bulb ) Alan was also on call on Saturday so he is constantly being pulled away from the tree and time was ticking away. My precious time! I had made a schedule in my head as to how my Saturday was going to be played out. I even made the verbal announcement to the entire family during Saturday morning snuggle time. Well it was already well past noon and still NO TREE! So, I did the only thing I knew to do! Get the ...

Homework and monkies

By
My kids love hearing stories about mine and Alan's childhood. (Times that Alan went camping, I went fishing with my dad, we went on vacations etc.) They have their favorites in which we have to share on a regular basis. Im saying all this to give you some background so you will better understand what is ahead..... Tyson was working on his homework. He brings his assignment home on Monday and its not due back until Friday. What a blessing!!! Tyson has learned that he likes to get it out of the way first thing, but this week we have had a house full of illness causing a slight delay in getting started. Tyson is learning homophones. He had worked through the first few pages and got to the last set of homophones. (their, there, and they're) He answered the questions and then had to write 3 "funny" sentences that contained at least two of the three. He asked me for help, so I just said first you need to think of something funny and then just write your sentences from that....
