Weekend Wrap Up – Bad Appraisal & a Tea Party

Hi Cyber Friends!

Hope your weekend was well. I can’t hardly believe we are almost done with July. It is almost like it didn’t exist. My children will be starting school in just 2 weeks and I can hardly believe it. This summer has been so rainy, I just don’t feel like we took advantage of it, but we always have the fall to look forward to.

This Friday we got the gut wrenching news that the house we currently have a contract on did not appraise. Seriously this $*&^ makes me want to holler. Again, $50K under seems to be the magic number. I just wanted to cry but managed to wrangle the tears and remind myself that ultimately God knows what we need and He will supply it in due time but I wasn’t in the mood to rationalize that on Friday night. What did I do? Closed my door and dared anyone enter.

The Hypocritical Football Mom

Parenting is just down right difficult at times. Second guessing yourself wondering if the decisions you make will hinder them or will they feel some kind of way about you when they grow up. The whole process feels like a shot in the dark at times.

Last year my husband and I made the decision to not force my son to play football when he brought it to our attention that he didn’t want to play. I even wrote a post about the whole dilemma that got featured on BlogHer and I was heralded for being a great mother for standing by my son’s decision. At the time we wanted to allow him the space to voice his desires knowing that we would stand behind and support him.

Just Another MANICure Monday

I chose to keep my MANICure simple this week. We are getting back to normal with the link ups so you can find the linky at Efie’s house this week.

I used Sally Hansen’s Good to Grape and Revlon’s Whimsical top coat to give a little shimmer to the purple. I wasn’t thrilled or disappointed with the purple. It was just purple, I almost wanted it to be a little lighter but I loved the outcome when I lightly overlayed it with the Whimsical.

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend. Ahhhhhh this weekend. This weekend for obvious reasons, read George Zimmerman acquittal has been a roller coaster of emotions and deep thought regarding the state of race issues in American, the state of the United States Judicial system and the fact that my heart absolutely mourns for the Trayvon Martin’s family. I don’t have much to say in this space regarding this except for I am prayerful for his family and the state of this nation.
