Heading Off ....

(just a random pic of my 3 favorite females.  I'm going to TRY to start posting more pics, even if some are from the past .... WAY past.)

.... to Big D with Son #3.  Yee haw.
The weather forecast looks pretty decent .... except for Monday, which OF COURSE, is the day that we have tickets to go to Six Flags!  Prayers for no rain would be great, Peeps.  Or at least for not enough rain to dampen the fun ..... ha, ha, ha, ..... pun not really intended.  As long as the rides, and by rides I mean HUGE, SCARY roller coasters, don't close we'll be good.
Son #2 is staying home to work and hang out with friends and make sure the cat doesn't die.  I'm sure he'll rise to the challenge.  He's ready for a week off of school.  More than ready.  Senior-itis has sunk in, big time.  Actually, I think he's had senior-itis since about first grade so you can only imagine how bad the case is by now.  :)
I'll get to see Son #1 while up there and hopefully my sister-in-law (Jim's baby sister) and her family.
We're going to learn how to ride a Segway while we're there.  And then take a tour of part of Dallas on them.  Son #3 thinks riding the Segway will be fun.  He also thinks that riding a Segway with a tour of people will be completely stupid.  He may be right.  It depends on how many people I run into.
I've enjoyed spending time with the Daughters this week.  We've hung out, chatted, watched chick flicks, drank champagne with blackberries, ate way too much junk food, and have just enjoyed "being".
I love my children.
So very much.
And I cherish any time that I can spend with them ..... even the ones who don't really cherish it that much themselves .... yet.  :)   (And don't think I won't bring THAT up when they come calling for "grandma" to babysit!  Thought, at this rate, I'll be in a nursing home not knowing who anyone is before I'll be a grandmother.  sigh .....).    Yes, I know ..... be careful what you wish for.  So I'm not wishing for it any time soon ..... just maybe in the next few years.
So .... time for me to get ready to head out.  I'm looking forward to having time in the car with Son #3, where he'll be trapped and HAVE to talk with me.  Either that or I'll read or sleep.  :)
But before I go .... I'd like to ask for prayers once again, Peeps.
I told you that I quit my job earlier this week because I felt God calling me to do more with my passion for widowed families.
Well, God .... being God ..... did NOT waste any time!!!  Yesterday I received an amazing offer that excited me and yet overwhelmed me all at the same time. Forgive me for not revealing what it is to you .... yet, but I need to really pray and think about it, as well as get more information on it.  I expect to give an answer shortly after I get back from our trip, as long as everything on both ends falls into place.
Please pray for wisdom and discernment for me.  Also for the knowledge that I CAN do this, if it's what God is calling me to do.  I know that "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called".   But not feeling equipped is scary.  I want to be able to say yes and mean it.  With no doubts.
So there you go.
Hopefully that will keep you busy.  All that praying.
I'll try to post pics while in Big D.
Hopefully not of a tourist who has been run over by me on a Segway.

Happy Weekend, Peeps.
