Queenies Little Kingdom

I’ve been so happy for Sweetboy…getting his own room at IU! Today, I was talking with the scholarship people at my high school and telling them the “good news”….when the director says….”You might need to check your bill, that single may cost you extra!?!”.

Huh? What? Really? DANG!!

I thought we were all set on his bill. According to them, maybe not. Now I’m stressing out! I checked and it looks like if there is an extra charge….it could be $700-1300 difference for the year. What to do?

Praying…..

We don’t want to move him twice. If he needs to find a roommate and move into a double….we would like that to happen before Wednesday. It’s Monday! Lord, help!

Or do we just go on and pay the difference?

Pray……

I don’t need any issues to stress me any more than I already am.
I’m letting my baby go to college, for goodness sakes! WHAT ELSE?

This is the busiest week I’ve had in a long time.  I’m running on about 4 1/2 hour of sleep right now and I really don’t feel that awful.  Strange for me.  When I get too tired….I usually crash and burn! Maybe it’s going to hit me later like a ton of bricks.

Yesterday we went to Indy for the Colts game.  Let’s just say, the new Lucas Oil Stadium is amazing!  I’m sort of awestruck by it really.  Our kids loved it too!  Who wouldn’t?  It cost $720 million to build! Indianapolis fans deserve such a fun place. (BIG THANK YOU ticket giver friend) 🙂

After school today….I’m heading off for more fun. I’ll be sneaking away for a “mini” retreat with my BFF, Tabbi. Southeast Christian Church is hosting the fabulous Priscilla Shirer who will be doing her thing! I didn’t realize it was this weekend. Maybe you’ve heard of her? She runs the streets with people like…Beth Moore and Kay Arthur. 🙂

What is this weekend? It’s my sweetboy’s last weekend home before he leaves for college. I have so much to do! How can I do this fun stuff now? I need to be home…..washing, packing, preparing.

I think God has other plans for me. I need to be where I’m going. I feel as though life has pushed me around a bit in the last year or so. My heart could use some good sound teaching.

God,
I’m in need. My heart is not where it should be. Leaving home this weekend is really hard. I want to be there….savoring every last moment with the boy you blessed me with. But my heart needs more than just time with the people I love. It needs a special touch from you. I’m trusting that you know what’s best for me. Work in my life and in the many women who will be there just like me….seeking more of you.
Amen.

COLTS pictures coming soon!

I can tell school is back in full swing! This morning…..I overslept! I went to bed exhuasted and it was only Tuesday. Both mornings (Mon & Tues) we sat through 3-4 redlights on our way to school. Which doesn’t mean we were at 3-4 different redlights…..we sat through them at ONE LIGHT!

Traffic in my small town on school mornings is like L.A. freeway traffic. The highway 50 parking lot is what we call it here. I live behind the schools but must travel down a city street and then on a highway to actually drive there. Walking is less than 8 minutes.

Why don’t I walk it? Good question. I have 2 teen girls and we haul tons of junk with us. More than any of us want to walk up the hill carrying to school each morning and afternoon.

So we drive! And sit in traffic!

My clock/radio is set to the sweet sounds of Klove each morning as my alarm clock. Uhhh that didn’t work out so well this morning. Somehow the station was OFF THE AIR! When did I notice that? Oh….around 7:24am!!! Not cool!

I jumped up and screamed!

And I was having the sweetest dream too. I was having a party! We were decorating with beautiful flowers and potted plants. Then I opened my eyes and it looked very bright out……AAAAAAHHHH 7:24?

Goodbye Wednesday! I won’t miss you!

Tomorrow night…..we’re heading to the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS game! Woohoo! Now that’s exciting! 🙂

Me! That’s who!

Go HERE!

Enter…maybe you’ll win!!

Goodluck! 🙂

A Hippy Happy Mom’s blog is full of goodies! She’s a member of “More than 11 Moms” and she gets some sweet perks because of it.
Lucky dog!
Don’t forget to snoop around. Her blog is loaded.

I’m flexible!

Really, I am.

That’s my job!

Go here…cover this, watch that.

I’m a substitute. Well, I used to be. Until my job took a major change this year. I’m the sophomore math remediation teacher now.

But….

That will have to wait. I’m in the freshman principal’s office covering for his secretary.

Another encounter with the sting of death. I’m praying for Mrs. M and her family as they go through the motions of losing a husband, father & grandfather.

God….we cannot know the path. Only you can. Help us to follow with faith.
Amen
