Many hats...

This summer is FLYING by...CanNOT believe it is almost August.  I feel like my summer has been filled with different hats.

The Taxi Driver Hat, where the boys have been needing rides all around.  Driver's Ed, sports, golf, friends, to MN and back, church group, birthday parties etc.  

The Referee Hat, with 4 boys I don't think I have to explain that much more.

The Skin Care Consultant Hat, most of you know, I started selling Rodan and Fields Skin Care about a month ago.  It has been going well and SO far EVERY one of my friends who has tried it has positive things to say.  It is stuff I LOVE so it just made sense since I was talking about it ALL the time to try to pull in some extra income for this CRAZY life we live.  If you haven't had a chance to check out the website or are interested in trying let me know.  It ALL has a 60 day empty bottle guarantee so really, you can't go wrong.  Same dermatologists that created Proactiv...they know what they are doing.  https://susanshisler.myrandf.com/

The Photographer Hat, I LOVE taking pictures, so this is a fun hat.  Finding the time to edit and sort through them is NOT so easy.  But I love it.  And Senior season is hitting which will be fun, I am excited to take some photos of Senior girls this year...kind of new to my repertoire.

The Wife Hat....this goes unsaid.  It is my most important hat, not so sure I have been wearing it as well.  Grateful for a patient and understanding husband.

The CEO Hat...trying to stay on top of household stuff, bills etc...I have recently decided I need to be sharing this hat with Scott. I am one who likes control and likes to know what's going on and doesn't always like to share that...I am learning I need to let go.

The Momma hat...love it, love it love it...but it wears me out in the summertime months too.

...it's a summer of Hats...just a lot going on and a LOT on my mind ALL the time.  I am struggling to sleep so if you can pray for that, I would appreciate it.  

Also just between us bloggers...know there aren't a lot of you out there that read this.  But be praying for some BIG decisions for Jack.  He feels strongly about wanting to go to Eason Elementary this year and NOT back to DMC.  He wants to see what a Public school is like.  He wants to be in that environment, he wants to be in a bigger place.  He has been praying, we have been. Part of me really struggles with NOT having them all in the same school.  and NOT doing the same things the older boys have done in upper elementary.  I KNOW that if he tries Waukee and doesn't like it, his spot will be gone at DMC for possibly the next 2 years.  Our sweet Miss Emily was just hired on at DMC as the new Elementary Counselor....and I was excited for Jack to have her there, they are SO close.  But even with that news is still feels strongly about Waukee.  Ugh...decisions decisions...I wish God would just send me a neon sign.  We have to make this decision soon.  There is a BIG part of me that is excited to see what God would have for Jack at a new school, and to see how he would do in a new environment.  He is an excellent student and makes friends with kids easily.  I don't know...I LOVE having them ALL at DMC and the fact that he sees his brothers all day long in passing.  But I think he realizes that both Drew and Tommy will be in the Secondary side of the building from now on and he won't see them as much....see I am rambling.  Do you see why I don't sleep right now?

Thanks for listening friends...and for praying.

  1. What a great post and snap shot into your life right now. I, too am having trouble sleeping. Once I wake up I'm awake for hours. Or I'm up early after only 6 hours of sleep and can't go bak to sleep. It's making me so mad! Let's pray for each other in the middle of the night! Great news @ Emily - huge score for DMC. Big news @ Jack. Will pray for neon sign. Love u.
