That's how I feel right now. I am completely overwhelmed with all that there is to do in one simple day. Like today for example...I have a trash-pit house to clean, about 1,000 images to go through and choose for editing (only 2 families! I have GOT to stop taking so dang many pictures!), groceries to buy, homework to help with, chauffeuring to do, lunches and dinners to make, bills to pay before we end up with a bad credit score, and quite frankly, all I want to do is crawl back in bed on this crisp fall morning and fall asleep.
I am sure most of that won't get done, but if you think if me today, prayer is wonderful and nice thing. At some point, this house needs to sell so that life can go back to some sense of normal. Well......is it ever really "normal" for me? No....but at least it will be a start.

Randy Travis and his amazing Afro
My grandma just turned 78 a couple weeks ago. She is a sprite little thing for a 78-year-old woman. She could run circles around me I'm sure! She's always up for babysitting her great-granddaughters (even when she is convinced they have learned new cuss-words;) and loves spending time with us. Tomorrow we are headed to the Aurthur Cheese Festival with her....not something I would do on a normal day, but she wants to do it, so mom, I, and the girls will head down there with her. We will all poop-out way before she does I'm sure!
I was sitting at the computer the other day while Russ was watching some random airline documentary (seriously....I don't understand the mindless stuff he watches! Guess that's why he is the smart one!) and low and behold, Randy Travis was featured due to him coming through that particular airport and the security issues that came with it. Russ commented "Hey...Randy Travis DOES have an Afro!" Right now...everyone except my sisters and mother reading this is confused...let me explain.
It is my favorite, crazy grandma story, and I have a LOT of them. Probably about 8-10 years ago at Thanksgiving, Diana and I were talking about Lenny Kravitz and his amazing afro. Don't know who that is? Click on the link...you'll get the picture...literally. My grandma happened to be walking through from the laundry room (a room she frequents at EVERYONE'S house!) and just in passing says "Randy Travis DOES NOT have an AFRO!" Then walked through and into the kitchen. It was that day we were convinced that her hearing had gone. We laughed hysterically and to this day, we tell that story in preface to anyone meeting grandma cause it's the awesomest grandma-story ever. She didn't mention it again, just simply stated the fact that her precious Randy Travis (a close second to her favorite singer, Vince Gill) did not indeed have an afro.
I informed her yesterday that I had indeed seen Randy Travis recently and needless to say...he was rocking a pretty amazing afro himself. It is a little more flat-ironed than Lenny's, but still...pretty puffy if you ask me.
