Learning From Gabriel ...

By
I had rough morning with Gabriel. I let my 6yo get the better of me. I know he isn't a morning person, and neither am I. I went out of the routine this morning and let him watch cartoons BEFORE he was ready to go. (at the time it seemed like a good idea, don't judge). Time caught up to us and then it was a mad dash to get everything ready only to realize we were ahead of schedule. That just made me more upset ... that I was upset and I had no real reason to be. UGH. I left without hugging and kissing him goodbye.

I made it to the highway before God told me I should call him and wish him a happy day. I called, apologized for fussing at him and I hoped he would have a great day. What he said next has been on my mind alllll morning. He said "We had a rough morning because you forgot to come into my room and pray with me last night. You have to remember to pray with me. When you pray with me, I have a good day the next day."
I don't take Gabriel to church ... I don't even go to church. He didn't know who God or Jesus was until recently. I've had too much going on in my life that I didn't sit down and teach my baby about God and Jesus.

I came back from my It Works conference in January and I've been praying ... praying a lot. For guidance, for strength, for support and for happiness. One night I walked into Gaby's room and I told him that I was going to show him how to pray. And we prayed ... and now, when I make it home before he goes to bed, we pray. And it gives him comfort. He doesn't understand it quite yet ... but I like this path I'm on. And I like the fact that my little man has Faith in Him.

by Alex Reifert on Sunday, February 5, 2012 at 11:36pm there are some things you need to keep in mind when reading this recap: 1) this is the first super bowl that i have ever really paid attention to... 2) actually, it's the first football game that i have watched from beginning to end... 3) i brought a book to the super bowl party just in case i got bored watching the game like i usually do 4) i DID NOT watch the same super bowl game that everyone else in the world watched, 5) my mom's friends are just awesome!!! 6) there were jello shots, lots of beer, and a little bit of wine... 7) carly is female, doesn't know football that well, but is still trying to learn the game... 8) carly is EXTREMELY gullible... so... -what is the super bowl number? we respond "XLVI"... carly says "ok, but what number?"... "...46 carly..." -which team are you rooting for? carly shouts that she's rooting for the one on the screen... -the commentators are talki...

True Biker Chick

I stopped by Farm Fresh on the way home, today. Of course, I was on my bike.  I've gotten pretty used to weird looks. A girl walking around with a helmet and an Icon chest protector ... most of the time, they are looking for whatever guy I MUST BE riding with. Standing in line with my shampoo and hairspray, I heard a lady behind me say, "What do you ride?" Now, people who don't ride will say, "What kind of bike do you have?" ... I've learned that other riders will ask "What do you ride?" I was tired, on my way home from a late day at work and hungry. I didn't have time for a chit chat about bikes. Not today. I didn't turn around all the way. I said over my shoulder "A Yamaha YZF 600r." The lady said "Oh, thats nice dear." Part of me was annoyed at her tone. Another part of me felt disappointed in myself. I would hate if someone ignored my grandmother like that. I swallowed my pride and turned around. She was...

Still don't get it! So far the men at the Super Bowl said to me the following .. Mike - just look for the stars on the field (needless to say, stars appeared later when Madonna came out) Steve - there is this app that lets you draw the line on the field from your phone.
