September 1st

I am supposed to be working on end of the month stuff but need a break so I'll talk about my night...I met mom and the girls at the gym. Mom felt sorry for my starving children and bought them chick-fil-a on the way there. I was grateful. After the gym we went home and were pleasantly surprised to see Damion already there - in his spot. on the bed. Clothes still on the table. But I took a deep breath and remembered what he said at lunch..."I bust it for 12 hours straight all day long to provide for you and these kids." So I proceeded to take the trash out, empty the dishwasher and began to work on my remaining 3 reports. Sweaty body and all. While I was doing all that, Emma-Leigh had "cheerleading practice" - Madison is the coach. EL decided she needed a uniform for practice and then disappeared. She eventually came out wearing the new uniform that she designed...


When practice was over, Madison decided she was going to create a uniform. Here she is working on it - and mad at me for taking her picture. I have to sneak up on her!


And the finished product -
I swear I feel like this girl is not my child - she is so darn creative! I can't even draw a stick man.
okay so I got my reports finished!! I took a break from typing to talk to Jen on the phone and got all the clothes folded!! (not put away) Damion was in charge of dinner and ordered a pizza for us so that was nice. I even managed to take a quick bath and get in bed by 10:30pm. Total success. So Damion and I hung out for about 30 minutes or so. It was nice.
Today Emma-Leigh will go home with her...friend that is a boy. She is so excited! Ethan's mom will pick them up from school and take them to church. This will be the norm every Wednesday since Madison's games will start next week.
A couple funny things that I don't want to ever forget...there's a sign in front of the church at the corner of Cane Creek Middle that reads - "You can't hold hands with God and Satan at the same time." EL read it and wanted to know why...a few days ago the sign said "Honk if you love Jesus, text and drive if you want to meet him." That made me laugh out loud! Happy hump day everyone!
