I don't like waking up early on Monday morning. There I've said it. I'd much rather sleep all day. So why do I make a dentist appointment for Early Monday morning? I got a call a few minutes ago asking if I'd like to reschedule since I missed this mornings appt. I was so embarrassed. Barb (my hygienist) is so much better to me than I deserve. She happily rescheduled and even worked us in for later on this afternoon. I don't deserve that kind of treament. She should have charged me the cancelation fee and made me wait 2 more weeks.
BTW my kids LOVE going to the dentist. I don't get it, but they think it is the coolest place to go. They are truly disappointed when it's not their visit. I would think it was the toys or the sticker and dental paraphernalia. Come to find out, it's the whole "she uses power tools on my teeth" that draws their hearts. Yep...I have a house full of boys

Anniversary and Superbowl Sunday
I'm bummed about tonights game. My favorite team didn't go forward this year (Panthers). I had fun watching though. We always have a chili contest before the Super Bowl. My husband won the contest the first 2 years and lost last year. This year I'm pleased to announce HE HAS MADE A COME BACK!!! Yes he won first place again. The prize for 1st is a $30 gift card to...none other than...Chili's Restaurant! So dh and I will have another date night! Always cool.
Also today is the 8th anniversary of my wedding day. It doesn't feel like 8 years but then at the same time it doesn't feel like we've ever been apart. I love this man, my best friend. We come a long way and are completely different people than we were ~PRAISE GOD! My husband is an amazing man. he still knows how to melt my heart. Sometimes I look at him and still get butterflies.
To celebrate our big day (we were pressed for time because of the SUPER BOWL) we went to see Stomp the Yard. That was a great movie. I really enjoyed it. It brought back so many memories of skipping school to go see the step shows at Winston Salem State. Man those shows were amazing! My friends and I had so much fun!
Today has been an exciting day, so much to share. We had a guest at church today who has the gift of "words of knowlege". There were a couple who stood as a witness who apparently knew this gentleman from years and years ago. Anyway, after church dh and I went to this man and our pastor for prayer. The gentleman spoke some truths to Leon and I that, while hard to hear, were absolute TRUTH! It was such a blessing. This man didn't know us from Adam. But he knew things no one else in our church even knew. I'm looking forward to complete healing and a big change in season. GOD IS GOOD!
Well, I started this blog a year and a half ago but soon after I switched to Verizon Online who gives you a free website. So I blogged there for a while. Now I'm using a different ip and need a new home. Rather than start a new blog...I'll just pick Xanga back up.
Blessing upon you today,
Mandy

One Night With the King
The kids and I have been studying the book of Esther. It is a fantastic story to read as a family. My daughter has been enthralled with it and is reading it over and over. She thinks it's better than any ol' Cinderella story 'cause it's REAL.
Anyway, we've read several Bible translations as well as several story book versions. So of course when One Night with the King came out on DVD we HAD to rent it. Dd was very dissapointed that it wasn't more true to the Word. Poor girl. It was still a good conversation about Hollywood glitz and glam. She did think the came up with a beautiful Esther!
We've had alot of fund discussing possible beauty treatments and use of myrh. It's been so much fun. My daughter is 12btw.
The boys enjoyed this story too. Alot of action that they have been acting out in their play. My insightful 13yo did notice that the king is very unsure of himself (in the movie version). He didn't like that Esther kept questioning him. "That's not how it really was. Nope the real king wouldn't have stood for THAT!"
Ahh a house of boys...gotta love 'em.
Otherwise...I liked the movie. It was entertaining .
Schoolwork wise. My 13yo is finally getting where he is supposed to be for Math. My daughter? Not so much.
My other guys are too young to worry about "where they are supposed to be".
