Fundraiser!!!

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to let you know that Trevor's mom and step dad are in the process of adopting there second child from China. They have set up a fundraiser for the orphanage in hope that they can raise money for supplies such as diapers, medicine, etc. for the orphanage that their soon to be adopted daughter Madelyn is coming from. Please visit www.bringingmadelynhome.blogspot .com to help them reach there goal and bring some children much needed supplies. This could be a great way to show God's love to orphaned children. Thank you so much for checking this out! I will try to blog updates on this as I get them!

Quick Catch Up!

I guess it's time to update on this. I have gotten out of the blogging mode and have struggled to get back to it. I am behind on photos and all kinds of things. Well, work cut my hours in half. Apparently they are felling the crunch of the economy and they are cutting peoples hours. I can't say that I hate that! I am only working from 7:30 am until 11:30 am. I get home in time to get Morgan off of the bus and I LOVE IT! No more babysitters. I get to be home to see them both off the bus and this summer will be GREAT! It turns out to be a blessing. I am not happy at my job though. I am glad I have one, but since I am part time now, they took the liberty of changing everything on me. I am tired of doing customer service and was happy going to work when I worked full time. I enjoyed going there. Now they have changed everything I do and have put me back at customer service. I have to be honest when I say that I HATE IT!!! I have done customer service for many years, and one tends to get burned out dealing with the public..especially when it comes to people calling in about a bill they got that they are less than thrilled about, especially since they are feeling the economy too! UGH! Anyway, I really shouldn't complain, but it's hard to go to a job that you used to like, and now dislike with a great passion!!!! I guess I better go! I will try to post more soon and update the photos!

It has been a very long time since I have blogged! The holidays were busy as usual. Work has been crazy! I am going to try to devote more time to blogging again. This blog will be short and sweet, but stay tuned...........I will return!

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. I just wanted to post some pictures of Bryson playing soccer. He is nuber 8 in the white. He makes his mom and dad so proud. There is also a family picture and one of Morgan holding up her White Sox hat after a big win. We are a White sox family!

SMART GIRL!!!!

Here is a family picture. We look like a mess. This was taken after a day of soccer and a birthday party with family.

God Bless!

Busy, Busy!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so lon since I have blogged! We have just been busy between school, soccer practice for dynamo then old mill, bible study, choir practice, work, and homework. I just haven't found much time to blog. Tonight however is a different story. Although it is a Friday night, the kids are in bed early like it is a school night because Bryson has an 8:30 game tomorrow morning. Yeah, I said 8:30 in the AM on a Saturday! TOO EARLY!! This is our only day to sleep in and we have to be at the soccer fields at EIGHT O'CLOCK!!!!!! UGH! Oh well. This is Bryson's last game before tournaments. I have had so much fun being the assistant coach on his team. The kids have been great and have improved so much! I just hope they go a long way. Anyways, with Halloween right around the corner, the George household has been thinking up what we are going to be. Morgan is going to be a star wars character. It was Natalie Portman's character on the newer Star Wars series. Her cousin Keegan is going to be Anakin Skywalker. They both have matching buckets for trick or treating. Bryson isn't sure what he wants to be. He mentioned a vampire, but I'm not sure if he wants to do that or not. I want him to be a Jedi to go along with Morgan and his cousin Keegan, but he wants to be a scary character. He is getting to that age I guess. I remember when my brother was a wherewolf. He might have been around Bryson's age. Um.... what else......Oh, Chris' job is going well. I am having a ball with my Bible study, and Trevor is still a very busy teenager. He is doing well in school. He is taking an art class, and I have really enjoyed seeing his drawings. He's got some talent! He is going to homecoming with his friend Amanda. He said he is really excited. He will have so much fun. We are going to have two additions to each side of our families. Our niece Taylor will have a baby girl in February and my cousin Gina will have a baby in April. We are not yet sure of the sex of the baby. It is too early to tell. I guess that is a quick overview on our lives lately. I hope everyone is healthy and happy! Happy fall to all!

God Bless!

Yuck!

Well, I have spent the last couple of days doing absolutely nothing!!! Monday I woke up and felt like I had hardly slept. I got up and got ready for work like usual. I woke the kids once I was ready so they could get dressed and I could fix Morgie's hair for school. Off to work I went, but all I wanted to do all day was sleep. I kind of had a feeling that I might be coming down with something. I stuck out work and came home. I had the chills. I put on my winter pj's and laid around. I took my temp and sure enough, I had a fever. I slept on and off the rest of the afternoon and after dinner. I was in bed around 7:00pm! That is very unusual. I slept a lot yesterday. People at work had been sick with the aches and pains and stomach ache. I went to bed last night pretty early again, only to wake up around 3'ish with a migraine. I got up around 5:30 to get my shower for work, but my head was hurting so bad I could barely see straight. I get migraines, but I didn't know if it was that or part of the virus I had. I was so sick to my stomach that I couldn't go to work. I slept until about 11 and got up and went to the couch and dozed on and off for another couple of hours. The kids got out of school early and the neighbors had them over for a couple of hours to play. Thank God! Chris stayed home with me most of the day. He is so sweet! He is always such a big help when I don't feel good. He went out later in the afternoon to work and did very well. I just hope no one else catches what I had.

The kids are doing very well in school. Tomorrow night is Morgan's open house at school. She is so excited. She has been talking about it for days!!! Bryson came home from school with dirty legs and muddy clothes. The boys were playing football. Apparently the ground had not had a chance to dry up. Oh well! Boys will be boys. He is definitely 150% boy!

Well, I hope all is well with everyone. Take care!

God Bless!

Lord, give me strength!!!!

I finally have the pictures posted!! The boys got a hold of my camera and I thought I would put a few pics of them on here! Goofy kids!

How sweet is this?!

Here is the pictureof the fight Morgan and Bryson got into the other night. This was after what Morgan thought was a victory. You can see the devious smile on her face and Bryson's feet hanging out of the tub and the shower curtain over his head. Nice!

*****Edit- I am having some issues downloading the pics of my kids. I will try yo figure out what is wrong and post them later!

I just don't understand why siblings can't just get along with each other! Our two younger kids get a long for the most part, but look out when they get going! I get so tired of breaking up fights! Morgan will be playing so well all by herself.......but then here comes Bryson. He will tease her so bad until finally, she has had enough and she will unleash on him. Today was one of those days! Here is a picture of the result of the fight. Please tell me I am not the only mom breaking up fights!

God Bless!
