Tackle it tuesday! #7–you are gonna laugh

This picture has nothing to do with the rest of the post!
Ok so My tackle for today is simple. I am to just plain and simple tackle life….original huh? Well let’s explain why this is such a big feat for this week! Friday night we had a Welcome home party for Hubby’s brother and wife who will be the co-youth leader’s with us! So Tornado and lady bug were unfortunately out to 11 pm! Then Saturday morning at 10:30 am we left (without kids in tow) to drive 4 hours to see a friend of our Master’s thesis be presented in concert form. He is in a music composition Master’s program. He is a music genius and we have been waiting for him to complete this for 2 or 3 years. That was when he was supposed to complete it but had woman trouble! (ROTFL) Anyway so we visited with some other friends while we waited for 7 pm! The concert was fantastic! He did things with a piano I never knew could be done! We then went back with our other friends! We had donuts and coffee! We had a great time and finally left around eleven! About 25 minutes into the driving two things happened! We hit some of the worst fog we have ever driven through and I got sick! The fog caused us to drive at a whopping 25 miles an hour and the sickness caused two pit stops (the sickness c was caused by the caffeine in the coffee- I had no idea I was putting into my body 4 times the normal amount of caffeine) So in having the first pit stop resulted in us missing an exit and swerving a slight bit and being pulled over for drunk driving! Yes drunk driving. The police officer was so nice! So despite all of this we had a great trip home which took a whopping 6 hours instead of four> You got it we got home at 5. Got in bed at 5:30 and up at 7. We had church. You guessed and remember my husband is a pastor so he was teaching Sunday school. Praise the Lord the kids weren’t along for the ride. So needless to say. My tackle this week is Life. I am still quite tired today after two nights of sleep. they weren’t the greast but it was better than we had on Saturday/Sunday–oh yeah and we still lost an hour cuz of daylight saving time!

Tackle it tuesday! #6

Ok I must first apologize if you are here for the party! I am new at all of this and I have No clue how to make my party post a sticky post! If you know how to do this I would love to know how!
Please feel free to leave a comment and until I get this all figured out you will have to see my tackle for today!


We have a problem with a rather large tandem stroller and where to put it! It kinda just sits in the den and takes up A LOT of space Any Ideas I am very interested in hearing them!

Tackle it Tuesday 5 (I think)

OK so here it is. The infamous Christmas tree. Yes it was still up until yesterday. I tackled it!!!!

It’s our first year we have had a Christmas tree. We have been married for four years but the first three we were in small apartments and didn’t have a tree. We moved into our first house last January which came with an artificial one! So needless to say It was a pretty boring looking tree


Here’s the tree all undecorated.

And finally it’s all gone…or as my son said when he saw it “Dall Din”

Note: It is sitting there on the floor in pieces. My husband had to study for a mid-term which he is taking right now as we speak so he will bring down the box from the attic tonight when he gets back from classes.
