Trying to Stay Afloat

I'm not going to ask if you've ever had one of those days.  I know we all have.  

Today is one of those days, however, that I feel like my "one of those days" is a boomerang.  No matter how hard or far I throw it, I turn around and it's right back with me.  

BLAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Praise God for a bed at the end of the day and the hope of a new day to come where "His mercies are new" again!

I've been extremely busy lately.  Then I was out of town.  Then my computer was being repaired.  

I'm still busy, but I'm home and my computer is up and running.  

I haven't checked my email yet ... I will tomorrow.  My apologies if there is anything pressing.  I just can't handle one more pressing thing today. 

I really feel like throwing in the towel right now ... but I decided to check out the images I captured from the past couple of days first.  

The girls and I went to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to visit with Momma and Daddy (and my aunt Peggy:)).  It is always such fun to just be in that town.  It is my hometown and it's safe to say that I've been a BAMA fan as long as I've been a Christian.   (if you're a college football fan, you'll understand)  I can remember being very, very young and going to Tuscaloosa with my family and visiting my Grandparents.  I always looked forward to those trips, and I always knew we'd visit campus while we were there.  I remember Momma buying me little Bama t-shirts with snoopy on them.  I think she still has one or two in her drawer:).  Now, I take my girls "home" to Tuscaloosa to see their Grandparents and take them on campus and buy them Bama t-shirts with snoopy on them.  Sweet memories for me.

Here are some images from our trip home.  I'm getting ready to call it a day and spend some time in prayer giving thanks for my many blessings and remembering those who are far from the ones they love.  

Remembering also those affected by the recent casualties in Afghanistan.  Sad that we need reminders such as these to keep our eyes on what's most important in life.  

To God be the Glory.
