Friday Confessionals

      I Confess: Drew's football is going better than I expected. We had one MAJOR meltdown the 2nd week, first day in pads. The pads were in wrong, the helmet was too big, and the pants were too big. I was so upset with him by the end of practice that I left before I turned into that mean mom.   I Confess: I was a very proud mama yesterday when one of the boys was screwing around and got yelled at by the coach and he yelled for Drew to go in to replace him. Drew's learned all the plays, knows what to do, only needs to hit with more aggression. It's totally against his nature so its taking some time.   I Confess: I found it funny when someone told Drew to hit/tackle like he would his sister... and he said "But I dont hit my sister, I love her"   I Confess: My girl went to Jr High this week. It's a little odd. I dont feel old enough to have a 7th grader. I remember my Jr High years perfectly, so I am not sure how this happened. We had some issues with her locker but we got them figured out and she is good.   I Confess: It's funny to hear Ty talk about boys... It makes sense, she's to that age... but for her to say  "Oh mom, he's cute" is just funny to hear.   I Confess: I am stressed over my mother-in-law being so sick. She has been in the hospital again the past few weeks and quit breathing last weekend. Code Blue was called and she was put on a ventilator and rushed to the ICU.   I Confess: Ty and I had an opportunity come up that I felt God was calling me to... we are going to do a mission trip together in the Dominican Republic over Thanksgiving. I cant wait to see what God does!
