Happy Thanksgiving!

From Mac's Spot to yours... We hope that you have a blessed Thanksgiving!!

WHAT IN THE HECK WEDNESDAY!

This Shrimp ran on the treadmill for 5 hours!

I can barely run on a treadmill for 5 minutes! That's Stamina!!

What in the Heck!!

Christmas Decorations....A little early!

I could hardly stand it (well, actually it was Nick). We had to put up our Christmas Decorations! I like coming home on "Black Friday" after a full day of shopping to admire my newly decorated house! It's a great way to start the holidays!

Stitches for Sophia

Last Friday we were having a Dance Party and Sophia Fell and hit her eye on the leg of the coffee table. A Hospital trip ( I am not looking forward to that bill) and 4 stitches later she is doing great! She was such a trooper!

WHAT IN THE HECK WEDNESDAY!

How many of you have ever met a "mean drunk"? There are some people that you just don't share a friendly beverage with, because if they have one too many they become a different person. You might start out sharing a friendly beverage but, then it becomes not so friendly on the fourth or fifth drink....you know what I mean? Or then there are those that you do not share specific drinks with. For example...if you and your spouse are having a date night and you decide that you want to order a few cocktails to "cut loose"....you know exactly which spirits you don't want your spouse to order....because one too many and you have a jekyll and hyde situation going on ( I heard that Whiskey can do it to ya!) .

Well, Not the case at my house.

When my hubby feels a cold coming on... I get nervous.....Very nervous. I know what is in store for me for the next few nights........NYQUIL!!

When my hubby takes Nyquil....He gets mean....Very Mean! Here's the scenario, we will put the kids to bed and then after he gives his goodnight kisses he heads downstairs to indulge in his therapeutic "cocktail". He heads to the couch and slowly drifts away into a drug induced slumber. I will wake him up from his slumber so, he can head to bed but, that is when the misery unfolds...he becomes MEAN...VERY MEAN.

Forget hiding the Whiskey, Hide the Nyqil!!

WHAT IN THE HECK!!!

Special Prayer Request From Gabe

This Morning Gabe asked me to pray for him. I said of course, I will pray for you. What am I praying for.....

He then explained that he wanted me to pray that he would have special powers like Spider Man, that way he can web his friends at school today!

Please join us in prayer for Gabe and his Spider Man Powers! :)

WHAT IN THE HECK WEDNESDAY!

I am an avid watcher of "The View"(Sorry lisa, I have to admit I do like it, I think you secretly do too!)......I like to listen to them talk about politics and Elizabeth Hasselback is my hero! Anyway, they started a new segment on "The View"today called "What in the Hell Wednesdays". It was hysterical!! So, I thought that I would do my own little rendition on Mac's Spot....We'll call it WHAT IN THE HECK WEDNESDAY instead for our G rated crowd! So, feel free to post your WHAT IN THE HECK comments too!

Here is an example:

This is a true story.......A woman was jogging in the woods when a fox jumped out of a bush and clenched his teeth onto her arm. Instead of beating the fox off with a stick, she ran another mile to her car with the fox still attached to her arm. She then proceeded to drive about thirty minutes to the nearest vet, with the fox still attached to her arm (I bet that was an awkward drive). All of this to see if the fox had rabies....Really?

WHAT IN THE HECK!!

My Worst Fear

I was surfing the blog world this afternoon and I came upon this blog: www.leblanclife.com , after I read a few of the posts on this blog I found tears streaming down my face. This man recently lost his wife to brain cancer and is now raising his daughter on his own while trying to deal not only with his grief but his daughters too. This post made me sad for this young man but, also made me realize my worst fear in life...dying while my kids are young. I am so afraid of death...not where I will go afterwards but the aftermath that it leaves behind! I guess it is kind of a selfish fear, selfish because I would want to always be the kids mother (their only mother) and I would always want to be my husbands wife (his only wife), I would want them to remember me. I think the biggest part is....the thought of not watching the kids grow up..... it's heart wrenching!
So, I have come to this conclusion...I am going to try every day to enjoy my kids, try not to scream and get angry at the little things, try to snuggle with them as long as they will let me, enjoy my husband and encourage him. So, if god decides that my time is up... I will have laid a positive foundation as a wife and mother that will carry throughout their years!

What is your worst fear?

Halloween Recap

The kids had a fantastic Halloween this year. Gabe dressed up as Batman, Sophia was Dorothy, and Ella was Cinderella or Glenda the Good Witch (really which ever she was in the Mood for). We had a great time partying with friends, attending our annual fall festival at church, and of course trick-or -treating. It was a busy week but the kids had a great time....and we STILL have the candy to show for it!

Batman for McCain!
