Lost- - - SPOILERS

Lost season finale was on last night. I have been looking forward to this for a few weeks but I really just wanted to go to bed after my day yesterday, read post below. So I went and got myself a Pepsi and made myself stay up and watch it. It was really good. Better then usual because they actually gave us some new information, like Locke dies! and the island does move. Is it bad to say that I just want this show to end? I just want to know what happens. I am not usually the type to read the last few pages of a book but I so want to do that with LOST. Knowing there are only two more seasons which run from January-May I know we are getting close and I just want to know!

My favorite scene from the 2 hours was Sawyer kissing Kate goodbye before jumping out of the copter and being a hero, AGAIN! Now that was a kiss. I so want to know what he whispered in Kates ear!

So many unanswered questions!

My morning

Well, this morning went by really fast. I was taking Alicia to school and was backing out of our driveway when boom I hit a car. I am not sure how I missed the car as I look and look but that road is very busy in the morning and my neighbor parks their cars on the street so it is very hard to see. Anyway, I hit a car with very OLD people. The man was on his way to a doctors appointment for his wife for her rheumatoid arthritis. So she was already in pain and sore and then the airbag hit her arm and side. Another truck stopped and called the police and fire department so we had it all there. They took her away on a stretcher to make sure she was okay. Luckily when I went up to my insurance agency so he could get pictures he said he had talked to them and they are just fine. She just has bruising. THANK GOD. So tomorrow my van will go in to get a new bumper and I will get a rental.

This is just so embarrassing, frustrating, annoying. I keep thinking if only 5 more seconds, if only he had honked instead of slowing down like he says he did, if only I had seen him. And just one more week of school and then I won't be out on the road during the busy hour. I mean Ida St. is so busy for about 30 minutes in the morning and then it is dead. 1 more week!

I just want to crawl into bed and go to sleep. I have talked to everyone needed this morning and now that I am relaxing I am bone tired. Maybe it is nap time. Nighty-night.

Okay seriously this is so me! I think there were just a couple that I did not do, mostly because my parents wouldn't let me watch some shows. This also reminded me of my best friend Sarah McAllister. We did a lot of these together.

P.S. I love You

I have a headache! I just finished watching P.S. I love you out on DVD. My head feels as if it could explode. That is such a good movie. You know it is a good movie when every 10 minutes you need a tissue from crying. I think I will try to watch in yearly so I can be reminded of how much I love Ben and try to appreciate him while I can. :)
And if you have not seen this movie-GO RENT IT. It even ended the way I wanted it to!

Summer Reading

Sisterchicks Go Brit!

Robin Jones Gunn is a fun women's author. She has many series out that I have enjoyed but her latest series is the Sisterchick Series. Book 7 came out last week and I had pre-ordered it from Amazon so I would have it right away. In each book Robin Gunn takes 2 ladies, different ladies in each book, on an adventure somewhere in the world and along the way they learn something about God and about friendships. Usually the women are in their 50's so it is fun to imagine going with some girlfriends at my mothers age and gallivanting around the world. In this book they travel to England. It is full of little bits of British History and British literature. I am now dreaming of the day I can go to England!

The main verse that ran through this book was from Jeremiah, "I will give them hearts that will recognize me as LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly." Do you recognize the Lord in the everyday? Do we give our hearts wholeheartedly to God and His plans for us? This book is a nice light read but it also really got me thinking about these ideas. The sisterchicks also realized that God is a giver. He wants to bestow gifts on us, we just need to stop and accept them. This is a line form the book, our "expectations are small, Gods gifts to us are immense." O, So true! Sometimes I feel guilty for all I have. But I need to stop that feeling and just revel in all he has blessed me with. He is a God that giveth and taketh away and I am in a period where he is giving. I need to open my heart and recognize the LORD in my blessings and be content.

Thursday night

I love Thursdays nights. LOVE LOVE LOVE Them. First off it is Ben's sports night. Right now we are in softball season. So that means I get the kids to bed early these days and have a little bit of time to myself. Then two of my favorite shows are on. Grey's Anatomy and LOST! Last night Ben had a LATE game so I took a long shower and then gave myself a french pedicure and used ped egg. I love ped egg. It makes my feet so smooth. I used a face mask and then got in comfy pajamas for the last Grey's of the season, a 2 hour show. O, and it was good. Lots of lovin' and a few heart-wrenching patients. Ben made it home to watch the last hour with me. I like when he watches my favorite shows with me. That way I can have someone to talk to about it. :) He doesn't want Meredith back with Derek but I am a sucker for love working out.

Next week it will be 2 whole hours of LOST!

O, and the tooth fairy visited Alicia in the night. This is her/his 7th visit! Alicia was a bit disappointed this morning that it was a dollar bill and not a gold dollar. Seriously! Those gold dollars are just too heavy to fly with!

My little Buddy

ETHAN

In Hebrew Ethan Means Strong!

I have taken some pictures lately of my son that I just have to share. He loves the camera, unlike my daughter so I try to take as many as I can. Ethan turns 4 in a few weeks. I cannot belive how fast the time has gone. Next year he will go to preschool every day and I will be all alone. He has kept me such good company that I know I will be lost without my little buddy. He is always giving me hugs and kisses and will just come up to me out of the blue and say, "I love you mommy." He is the sweetest little boy. I am excited to see what God has made him to be and know that he will bring glory to Him with his tender heart.

(Don't mind all the junk in the background of the pictures. Our backyard is pretty messed up right now as we work on it! And below is Ethan on the way to the beach.)
