Busy, Busy, Busy little Bee's

Well it's been so crazy around here I did not get to blog yesterday... I am not kidding I have cleaned, packed, refinished all the doors in the house, painted the front door... You name it it has been going down here... I have to say thought I feel soooooooo wonderful knowing it is all done and the house looks WONDERFUL on the inside... Outside it looks all dead and gloomy but when spring comes I love my yard... The sod we laid in the yard is so plush and beautiful in the spring and summer... The realtor came yesterday and took pictures of the inside for the web page, mls, and for the show on Sunday... YIPEEEE I really have peace and excitement all at the same time because I know God is fixing to move this big ol fence in our way... I can not tell you how excited I am to be moving and starting over a fresh... Have I mentioned just how much I love my Lord... He is working all things out for me. She said the house looked great all except the front door had to be painted and that the doors needed to be refinished where Miley and Otis have scratched on them and left marks... ALL the doors in the house except the front door and the down stairs french doors are really solid Wood Doors... They are beautiful well they are now that I refinished them. So today she is bringing the Lady who called 15 min after the exterior ONLY picture was posted on her website. If that woman loved the house just from the outside I can not wait till she gets on the inside... I don't think my house has the best curb appeal but the inside is BEAUTIFUL or at least I think so... So I better get to doing the last min touches... A guy is coming today to lay down flooring in the mud room and in the laundry room... I am just super excited... Be Praying with us please that this house sales FAST!!! LOOK OUT HUNTSVILLE HERE COME's THE OTHER WINKLES SISTER!!! hahaha

Friendships

I posted this on myspace but thought It needed to be over here on blogger as well...

Friendship’s
So in my prayer time here lately this verse Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Keeps coming to my head... I know that I am not very good about being the first to call or be the first to text or walk up to someone to say Hello how are you doing... I know God is trying to teach me to come up and out of my comfort zone... I mean those of you who know me are thinking OH MY GOODNESS she is full of doodoo she is a social butterfly... No Not so much... What you are seeing is me getting nervous and I start to just talk and talk and talk and I don't really say anything... I don't tend to make many new friends... It takes a lot out of me to let someone new into my life... There are good reason's for me not allowing new people in and not trusting my very own judgment... I guess what I am trying to say here is this... I know how I am and I am working on it and God is working on me.
I am also sure that I have some friendships God is trying to weed out... I feel like COMPLETE HONESTY is a must in all relationships in life... I just began to pray these past few days and this will be my prayer for sometime... Open Doors Lord that need to be open and Lord Close doors that need to be closed in all parts of my life... I want only people in my life that are going to build me up and not pull me down... I want people who will when I turn to walk out the door don't roll there eyes and talk about me behind my back to "other friends"... I told Bo the other night Do people really just not get it. It's not to wise for people to talk about there friends to me or any of there friends, because it lets me and there other friends know that when We are not around they are talking about me and them too. I don't know I just really think God has friendships on my heart right now because I feel like he is fixing to shut some doors... So Lord I pray right now at this moment Lord I only want Godly friendship's ones that are going to add to my relationship with you and nothing else... I want only the blessings God has for me... OK GOD I HEAR YA now I need further instruction...

Ok Good and Bad so far...

I know its not the end of the day but I was afraid I would not remember everything if I did not blog about it this afternoon... So I did not get to go hang out with my friend Misty... I woke up this morning at 4:00 am with fever chills the works... YUCK!!! I started Cipro this morning :o( I am tired of being sick. I talked to my Mom this morning and growing up as a child I never ever was sick... She said I once a year got a sinus infection always over Christmas break and New Years... She said I may have had a tummy virus twice in a year too... So WHAT THE HECK IS MAKING ME SO SICK ALL THE BLAME TIME??? I think I need to go have allergy testing done... My family doctor said that he was going to hook that up last time I was in the hospital with this mess but I guess he forgot... I think I am going to find another family doctor in Huntsville and have them look into it for me... I remember when I was younger I would go with my cousin Jeff and my Aunt Dianne he had to have allergy test ran they put all kinds of little needles in his back OUCH!!! Lets pray my doctor's start to figure out what's up with my sinus that keeps me so sick all the time... What is triggering all this craziness...

Oh the good news our house went up on Debra Burton's page and within 15 min a lady called said she loved it and wanted to look at it... Lets pray that she is the one so that We can really start looking at houses in Huntsville and feel like we can make an offer :o) Highlight of my day that's for sure!!!

So Jordan I took your advice and unlocked my blog... I did not know much about blogger I did not know that you had to know the address and that nobody could just search for your page through blogger... Thanks for putting my mind at ease... You blogger pro you!!! HA HA Well I am going to lay back down my hubby just brought me Kim San Egg Drop Soup and some Sudafed PE and Kleenex... I am sure I will blog later on tonight once the day is finished and more has happened :o) Oh the Day in the life of Lisa Boatner :o)

UHHH Today

So today I get up with this runny nose and scratchy throat... The weather has flip flopped more than the Presidential Candidates this political season... The changes in the weather are doing something horrible to my sinus's... I just pray the weather settles down soon...

We got good news today our real estate agent called to tell us that she was coming on Thursday to take pictures of the inside of the house... They are going to put the house in the local real estate books, on MLS and the agency we have used has there own little real estate show that air's on Sunday morning... The only bad part about that is that our church's TV show airs the same time... :o) So I have worked my fingers to the bone in this house getting it show ready... You could eat off my floors, walls, bathtubs and TOILETS ewww normally gross I know but not in my house on this day. My legs are cramping so bad I don't know if I am going to be able to sleep... Oh it just dawned on me I complain a lot. YET another thing the Lord needs to work on me in.

I have a exciting long day ahead of me tomorrow a really good friend of mine Misty Carr Davis and I are going to Huntsville for a little Girl time... We both are stay at home Mom's to three children so we like our little ever so often outings gives us something to do other than the regular Stay at home Mom stuff... Misty and I always have a great time together and I look forward to our days in Huntsville every month... We are actually going shopping for her Mother's birthday gift and our girls some spring clothes for spring pictures... Well I just took a Benedryl sp? and I will be cracking out soon... I am so glad I got this little blog I feel so much better just rattling off about my day even if there is only three people reading it...

Another thing is it really safe to have our blogs wide open for everyone to read or should I leave mine locked? I am really curious... What are things that are best not said on here... HA HA I have a hard time with holding back I tend to just talk and talk and talk and do not even think about what I said... YET another thing God needs to add to his list... So can I get a little feedback my 4 blog buddies? Have a JESUS filled Day!!!

What has TV come to...

Bo and I were watching the race yesterday and we saw the preview for a show called The Moment of Truth... I have a really big problem with this show.... First off let me tell you what this show does if you have not seen it... They connect you to a lie detector and ask you all these questions and if you do not answer the truth you will lose the money if you do however tell the truth you get harder questions to answer and the more money you can win...

So this show that will air tonight shows in the preview a girl sitting in the chair connected to this lie detector and the host says I won't be asking you this question your ex boyfriend will ask the following questions the camera pans to her husband standing in what seems to be the section your family stands in.. The boyfriend walks down to the stage and says "If I were to tell you that I wanted you to leave your husband and us get back together would you???" and Camera pans to husband with hands on his face. Wife says Well if I am being honest the answer is yes and her husband's mouth just drops...

Having been through some issues of my own within my marriage I just began to think and tell Bo what in the world as this world come to that we as the public get some sorta enjoyment in watching a marriage fall apart... What type of people are running these networks that they are willing to destroy a marriage for a rating boost... Then Bo and I started talking about TV and I guess we are sensitive to the subject but day time TV and really just about all TV GLORIFY Divorce and GLORIFY an affair... I mean when someone has an affair it not only effects the couple it effects your parents, in-laws, brother's, sister's, friends... For the entertainment industry to be little it like it is nothing at all to watch a marriage fall apart because someone did not care enough about there covenant they made with there partner HACKED ME OFF... I don't get it... I don't guess there will be perfection until the father returns... It just really hacked me off and I felt like saying something about it... :o)

Got so much going on this week... Packing up my bedroom and packing up the down stairs... I did not realize just how much clutter I had in this house... I have to say though getting rid of a lot of this stuff feels soooooooo good... Its almost liberating ha ha ha... Well I better get back to liberating myself. I feel like this is going to be a great week... God is totally working things and weeding things out in me... I am so excited for this path God has set my feet to... :o) Blessings

Latest Going on's

There has been so much going on around here these days... Bo and I have been going through a lot of things in our marriage, family, kids & our whole lives these past few months and we we felt like God has put us in a transition phase in our lives... The biggest transition would be that we feel God is leading us to leave Scottsboro and moving out of the area... I don't know if its forever... I just know that right now this is the right and best thing for our family... We have been looking at houses in the Gurley area... We have found some really great houses but for right now we have to stay in Scottsboro just till the end of the school year... As for our house it goes on the market this week... If it sales before the end of the school year and we feel very confident it will... We have an apt that my Mother and Father in law built for us when Bo and I just got married... It is a two bedroom two bath full kitchen Great little place... They said we could stay in it as long as we like... So that is where we will stay if and when our house sales... :o) God has been so Good to me in my life time and I know we are sitting in a as Pastor calls it a waiting room... I just can not wait till he opens the door and I see what the next room looks like... :o) We just pray that God will open doors that need to be opened and close the doors that need to be closed... We want only God's will in our lives nothing more nothing less... I know that we will miss our friend's we have made here but I know that the relationships Bo and I have developed are not defined by County Lines... We know God will help sustain those relationships... I have been having a Bible Verse rolling through my head Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. I think that God is trying to teach me if I wanna have friends I gotta come up out of my comfort zone and love on people and actually be the person to make the first move I don't know... Also he may be trying to teach me about some of the "Friendship's" I have that I am not being shown true honest friendship. I don't know I am going to meditate on this verse and really see what God's trying to show me... Pray for my family as we began the big wait to see if our house sells and see where God leads us...

Baby drowning in family pool!!!

I can not even begin the imagine the pain of having to lay one of my children to rest in a cold hard grave. I have a really good friend of mine and Bo's who one of her babies died and her and her husband had to bury him. When I heard about "Cornbread" drowning My heart just broke... Bo got really upset and said "you know that is my worst fear that I will build something that ultimatly kills one of our children". With us being in the pool building industry you would think we got safety covered right? WRONG!!!! I really began to think do we really have that pool as safe as it should be? Do I keep those locks on the gate like I should at all times even when I have to go to the bathroom when me and the girls are all out swimming and I am the only adult out there. No GUILTY!!! I keep the cover as tight as it can be. That one my husband and father in law have covered... Do I have a safety alarm on my pool gate? No How is that possible that we have had this pool this long and still do not have an alarm on it? Well I can promise this if our house does not sell before pool season you can bet your bottom dollar that it will have an alarm on it... I am going to talk with a few of our Reps and see what the best of the best is out there. My Kids, My Neices and Nephews, My Friends Kids deserve to be totally safe while at my house... I hate that a child had to die to rock these facts on home with me but I am on it now.

My heart aches for Rick and Sherry Burgess and there children... I pray that the holy spirit will just decend down like a dove on that family and I just pray they find rest in the ultimate heart healer!!! I pray that God get the glory from this horrible accident I pray that what the devil means for harm that God gets the glory in the end... My heart is heavy tonight!!!
