Fun Photo Friday - Anything New?
Can you believe I have only 2 days of pictures from this month on my computer? I have been so lost without my camera and memory card reader. John has them with him in SC and I cannot wait to have them back in my hands. Hopefully I can find something I have not posted yet. Let's see... have y'all seen the pics from the Sand Gnats game? I think I posted them on Faceboook but not here. So enjoy!

"Fun" Photo Friday - Late Again
The reason I put fun in quotations is because this posting of pictures, while fun when they happened, now bring memories of a loved one lost.
Our prayers for Sarah may have been heard, but it was too late. She was already gone and it was just a matter of time before she made her way up the stairway to Heaven. Thursday night, just 2 hours after seeing her, her heart stopped beating. She is no longer in any pain.
I told my kids yesterday that their beloved Miss Sarah was no longer with us. I explained the situation to my older two and Lexi seemed ok, she wasn't as close to Sarah as the rest of the kids. Jacob asked why, and I explained the best I could. No one really knows why these things happen. I then told Kadie and Adam that we won't be able to see Miss Sarah anymore, she was now in Heaven. Kadie buried her head in my shoulder and gave me a big hug. Adam was the cutest of them all... he said, "I go to heaven too?" to which I replied, "Someday" and he shouted "Yay!" Later in the day when I was going up to Sears Portrait to see Victoria (we worked with Sarah), Adam wanted to go. I told him no I was going by myself to see Miss Victoria. He started to pout, put his head in my chest and whined, "No wanna see Miss Toria, me see Miss Sarah!" I wanted to cry. My poor baby! He really loved her. As we all did...

Hear Our Prayers
I may not deserve to be heard... and I may not be any good at this... but that won't stop me from reaching out there and hoping to find a miracle.
Sarah is only 24 years old and she felt like her life could not be saved. Just last week she got her hair and nails done, she went out to dinner with a friend, and she talked about going back to work next week. All in all, she seemed like she was on the track to helping herself. If she wanted help from her family and friends, that was the first step.
Now here I sit today, thinking back on all the mean things I said. And even today thinking about how terrible of a friend I have been while she is going through her own hell. She is my friend. So much alike, we were like sisters. We even fought like we were but at the end of the day... we were still friends.
My friend, my sister, is now in a coma. Her brain has stopped functioning and her heart is slowing down. She cannot breathe on her own and her parents should not have to be thinking about making such a heartbreaking decision. She had her entire life ahead of her... she never got married, she never had children although she had plenty of love from mine and the children she nannied. She had friends that held her hair when she puked and gave her a kick in the ass when she needed it. She had family that would do anything for her at the drop of a hat. She was loved.
Only you can save her now. I am trusting in the power of prayer to get her through this. We need a miracle.

Wii Fitting It
I got on my Wii Fit for the first time in 12 days today, only the third time this month. Mr. Wii informed me this was my 283rd day. That means I have had the Wii Fit for almost an entire year. Want to venture a guess on how often I have actually used it?
As of today I have logged just over 8 hours! THAT. IS. IT!!! Wow! I really need to get my butt into gear. And this afternoon, I did just that.
I banked 1 hour on the Wii Fit (which actually took about longer than that with all the downtime between activities). I did every yoga pose. Some of them I hate, but I did them anyway. And then I did all the balance activities... there are 9, but I did beginner, advanced and even expert on every one that had it available. I did really well on a lot of them and only one I didn't do well on at all. I gave up after 3 tries. After finishing with the Fit, I went and did 10 pushups and 50 crunches. Later I plan on doing all the aerobics activities and the strength training on the Fit.
So butt, consider yourself in gear!

Tuesday Review
My husband was right... I did watch a movie. We watched Billy Madison on Sunday night. I fell asleep before it was over but it's not like that was the first time I saw it. In fact, the first time was in junior high.
Billy Madison - Adam Sandler plays a privileged adult who's father paid off his teachers to give him good grades, his entire 12 years of school. His father decides to not give him the family company since he is not capable of handling it until Billy talks him into allowing him to go back to school to prove himself. Each grade, two weeks, or Eric (he works for the Madisons) will get the company. A lot of crude humor and language but all in all a funny movie. Not as funny now, to a mom of 5 with a higher appreciation for movies but definitely a Sandler classic. If you have never seen Billy Madison and you like Will Ferrell movies, this is a must see. My kids are allowed to watch almost anything, but I would not let them watch this. Too many sexual references. Back in junior high this would have received 5 stars, but I now give it a 3.75. Just not my type of movie anymore.

Movie Review Monday - Photos Instead
Hello readers! Fun Photo Friday is here! Yes, three days late, but you know what they say... better late than never, right? (Plus I have no movie to review, it was a crazy weekend).
Friday was an extremely busy day and the hubby had my memory card reader in SC with him so I couldn't get the pictures off my camera. Not quite sure what is on the memory card, I know there are some soccer pictures and since the season is over, it's only right to share it with all of you. Watch for a couple soccer videos, as well. I would have gotten them on here sooner but the entire weekend was just a bit crazy.
Hope you enjoy and forgive the delay :)

AND THE WINNERS ARE...
coming! I am so sorry I did not post sooner. Yesterday was a crazy day and Thursday I was stressed out because a woman was supposed to come look at my house this morning. She didn't show but my house got a much needed cleaning. My bedroom hasn't been this clean in months... about 10 if we are counting :)
The winning comment goes to.... {drum roll}
SANDI! With a last minute comment for my unwanted stuff, she has won! What has she won, Bob? Stay tuned to find out!
But wait... what's that? Oh, only 5 other people commented... I think I have 5 more things I could part with. Who wants free stuff? That's right...
Tiffany! Beth! Stacie! Anna! Windy! You have all won too!
Come back later to see what it is that each of them has won. I am going to go through my back room and pull out something that I think each of you would like. Suggestions are always helpful. Do you like reading? Do you like makeup? How about Borax? I've got tons of that. Throw something out there and I just might be able to find it.
Thanks for being loyal readers ladies!
