Busy.....Busy....Busy......

it has been a busy....busy... weekend at the johnson house. mr. johnson got back home on friday afternoon and the whirlwind that was our weekend ensued. we spent friday night looking at the office he'll be taking over and trying to make some decisions about that........the saturday morning we went furniture shopping for the office and we still aren't any closer to deciding than we were a week ago....then it was off to a birthday party for a sweet, sweet boy in the little hen's class......the hen's had a blast......then i dropped them with their granny and papaw so mr. johnson and i could make a trip that we have been so excited for.......

we went to huntsville to see our dear, dear friends the winkles. after a battle with infertility, they welcomed beautiful twins into the world last thursday! chase alan....and claire marie made their grand debut.......we have waited and prayed for these sweet babies for many years.......wow......when our God blesses he really shows up, huh?.......i wish the winkle babies and their momma and daddy a wonderfully blessed life............

today has been really rushed...with mr. johnson leaving again....and all the pollen has me and the 2redhens feeling like we are stuck in a drum....ha....... we made it to sunday school but had to leave before church because the little hen felt so bad.......we were however happy to have a dear friends the grimes' back in our presence......they have had a rough couple of weeks because of decisions mr. grimes is making in his job.......i'll leave it at that....... but please remember to pray for them and thier safety, daily.......along with stellan......

Oh, my soul..........

When clouds veil sun
And disaster comes
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

When waters rise
And hope takes flight
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go

When clouds brought rain
And disaster came
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

When waters rose
And hope had flown
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills hope
Perfect love that never lets go
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, what love, oh, what love

In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You’re the same
Oh, You never let go

ATV Riding in Bankhead

so....last week was spring break for the 2RedHens.....so mr. johnson has the fabulous idea to take them 4-wheeler riding.....after much hestiation from the little hen.......we set out.........and as you can see they had a blast.......minus when addie got the shiner from having a run in with the handlebars....ha......
i want to share some funny convo's with the hens while riding thru the forest.......

little hen : momma how far into these woods are we going to go?

me : i'm not sure why, are you tired of riding?

little hen : we'll i think we should turn around now...because nothing good ever happens in the dark forest! (i wish i could express how very serious the girl was)

big hen : momma how come you don't drive your 4-wheeler as fast as daddy does?

me : well i don't want you having another run in with the handlebars.......
big hen : don't blame daddy's driving .....blame him for asking me to look for turkey's and not letting me pay attention......ha

and you should have seen the eye on saturday.......way worse........it was swollen almost shut......and she in all seriousness told me that she felt like a redneck now that she's had a black eye.........and the stories she told on church sunday....priceless........

Today.......i am praying........for so many people..............here are just a few...................the grimes family.............. MckMama at my charming kids ................ and our country.....................



And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. matthew 7:25

really....has it been a month?.......well, i have been super busy, plus mr. johnson has been home this month and not traveling so i haven't had as many late nights.....but he leaves again next wednesday......so i'll be posting more i'm sure......what else is there to do at 1 am........anyway on to the reason for the post.......i have been blessed to be a stay-at-home momma for the past 8 yep count them 8 years....and since my little redhen started school i have been itching to find something part time to do. i wanted it to be something that i loved and could really enjoy....so, about 3 weeks ago i get a call from a mother in the big redhens room at school asking if i would be interested in working with her........she is a wedding and event planner at the local golf course.....would i be interested?...it's only my dream job!......so, i interview and get the position....yeah!.....it is super flexable and i only work from 8 till 2......so, i can still take and drop the hens at school.......so.......i'm loving it......well, so far......ha!

RoomMomma

So....i haven't mentioned it but i am the room-momma for both of my redhens classes. Well, today was my little redhen's teachers birthday. and if i do say so myself i came up with the cutest ideas ever! to start i had all the kido's wear red shirts today (the favorite color of the mrs. s of course)along with delivering her reese cup's ( her candy bar of choice). And let me say, i was concerned if this would work but when i got there to do jr. achievement this morning there were 19 adorable smiling faces all in red shirts....along with reese cup's covering mrs. s's desk. and on a side note today was also class picture day....and let me just say that all kids in red shirts sure makes for a fabulous class pic.....now back to the birthday present.....anyway, before i started my lesson i asked the kids if they wanted to give mrs. s her present...and of course they all cheered....and we presented her her gift.....now here i must say that this present took about a month to pull together but i was so worth it.....she opened her gift and found this......


she loved it! i had each child's parent take them to the local craft store and pick a charm that represented them and i put them on a charm bracelet....and then i did a little list of who got what and why and made it pretty and gave her that....(i'm not putting it on here because of privacy issues) but i will say my little redhen got the diamond star because she is fancy and a star! (her words not mine)........so.....to wrap things up today i rock as a room-momma!!!!!! it's a good day a very good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did not drive 300 miles to visit mr johnson on his business trip this last weekend just to get a good night sleep...because of course i get my 6 hours whether he is her or not........

we did not take the 2redhens to downtown atl and while we were not in said downtown area we did not see a protest for change in the congo.... in-front of the cnn center and flee for our safety...not us....we would never......

i did not totally forget to take my wonderful husbands valentine's on the afore mention trip that i didn't go on......i'm not forgetful....

and last but not least.....i absolutly did not miss out on all the fun stuff at the 2redhens v-day parties last week at school because i was busy spilting my time between the classes.....and since i didn't do that i didn't spend more time in the halls walking back and forth between classes.....btw.....on the subject of v-day parties...i also didn't forget to send the 2redhens teachers goodies either.....i'm so totally not sleep deprived and losing my mind....that is why i absolutly didn't even commit the first not me!!!!
