So my boyfriend and I broke up at open house tonight..
I think it is for the better... we weren't getting along too well.
So I'm starting fresh at a perfect time.
A new school year.
God as my pilot.
This as my place to get away.
Sometimes being a teenager is just wacky.
I can't thank you all enough for being there for me to fall back on.
Especially KingdomMama, Mrs. Sarah. God bless you for talking to some kid when she needs an ear when you have five little ones. Thank you so much.
Junior year starts in 6 days....
Boy am I ready.....

7 days.
I'm counting down.
I am so ready for school to start.
I am so ready for the 11th grade.
7 days from now I will walk the four halls of my smalltown high school with the few girls I hang out with. I'll smell brand new paper. Brand new textbooks. Fresh cleaned hallways.... And at lunchtime I'll be praying for Dalton, and for anyone and anything else that needs it.
I love you all and I know this isn't a long post but I'll be longer later.

The Praying Mantis has it's first requests.... Little did I know they would be mine....
It has been a hectic day.
The urgent requests:
My baby cousin, Dalton's doctors have discovered that he has a large hole in his heart. The wall that seperates the chambers of the heart is nonexistant in his infant body. There is no medicine to fix it and he isn't strong enough yet for the operation he will undergo when he reaches 12 pounds. This surgery will save or take his life. I am so afraid. Our whole family is so afraid. Dalton was also diagnosed with Downs Syndrome. The tests to confirm the severity have not come back yet. Please pray for this precious baby boy and his momma, who, to top this all off, recently lost a close friend.
I have created a button for Dalton (it is not the image above). It is located on my sidebar and I'll figure out how to code it for your taking eventually.
I'm working on that, The Praying Mantis button, and my button.
Until I get them fixed, please feel free to copy/paste.

A powerful night.... that started out as a night with no power!
So I am in Raleigh.
At the same hotel I was at before, when we spent the week with all the cousins.
Tonight it is Tabetha and I babysitting Savannah while mom and dad are at the Colt Ford concert in Wake Forest.
Why are we at the hotel, you ask?
because some froot loop back home vandalized the power center for our town!
And so now everyone who runs from the company that we get power from is out until who knows when. Since the concert is an hour away from home and I had plans for Tabby to come over AND I'm babysitting Savannah, mom and dad thought it best for us to be closer to them and with power. So, here we are!
There's not really much to post about.
We've been playing UNO and some other card games.
Taking turns on the internet.
Not much else.
Savannah is being really good, of which I'm thankful.
I haven't had any e-mails for The Praying Mantis yet.
Just kinda relaxing for tonight.
Took some Stellan pictures. They will be up next post.

The Praying Mantis is Up and Running!!!!
It's not as elaborate as I'd hoped for yet, but we'll get there.
In the sidebar of this blog is a button. It is a photo of a praying mantis titled "The Praying Mantis". When you click that button, it will bring you to this post which will go on to explain The Praying Mantis the ways it currently operates. If The Praying Mantis is updated or changed, it will be updated on this post, so rest assured this post is the place to go!
The Praying Mantis!
The Praying Mantis is an idea of my very own formulated by the desperate need of prayer almost everywhere I look. I created The Praying Mantis for the bloggers and other internet folks to communicate prayer requests and also to reach out folded hands to those who need prayers.
As The Praying Mantis is still being "worked on", so far not much can be done. However, I feel that if I *can* do *something*, it is in the great name of our God that I do it.
Here is what The Praying Mantis can do at this point:
1. Have a prayer request? send it to my e-mail at idoubt@msn.com in specifics or just as a "private prayer". I will pray for you and reply to all e-mails and with your permission will blog about the e-mails to raise awareness of your prayer need(s) and of The Praying Mantis in general. If you feel that e-mail is a little too personal, feel free to leave your requests as comments on ANY POST, just be sure to say that it is for The Praying Mantis somewhere in the comment.
2. Want to be an even bigger part of The Praying Mantis? let me know via e-mail(idoubt@msn.com) or blog comment(on any post). I hope to learn how to pass on my button very soon, but until then feel free to copy the picture I have created as my button and use it to place on your blog, publicly showing that you take part in The Praying Mantis. Link your button either to this post or publish your own post explaining The Praying Mantis. If you choose to use this post, please add your e-mail address with mine. When this is done, you are now a co-host of The Praying Mantis and may recieve prayer requests via e-mail or blog comment. Please respond to everyone who contacts you about The Praying Mantis, and if you can't, please forward the mail to me for I do not want anyone who has a request to feel ignored.
Thanks so much for the support with this God given program.
May He bless each and every one of you,
<3Stormy

I'll be your Praying Mantis
Hello blog world.
Recently there are a few things and people I feel that we need to pray for.
Some here in the blog world. Some I know personally.
I am praying but I feel that these situations need your prayers too.
I want to start a program called the Praying Mantis.
This program would be an exchange of prayer requests and sort of an online prayer group.
I will post my e-mail address and you all can send me your requests, and those who will participate will be open to getting prayer requests. I want to try to get all participants on one IM service so that one night a week we can get on and discuss our prayers and pray together. I know that this will be difficult and I need your help.
If anyone can help me set up The Praying Mantis I will be forever greatful.
Please e-mail me at : idoubt@msn.com

"I'm ready to just pull it out with a piece of string!"
"Sissy?"
"yeah, kiddo?"
"I think I'm just ready to pull my wiggly tooth out with a string"
"huh?"
"you know, like with the door and then you shut it?"
At this point, she had my attention. I turned around to find her tooth hanging by a thread! I pulled it out with a washcloth that she then used to 'make the blood stop flowing away'. Tooth pictures, anyone?

I was GONE!..... and now I'm back!
Sorry that I haven't posted in quite a bit.
I have been visiting my cousin, Dannille, in Georgia.
They have no internet at her house....
=]]
Her birthday was yesterday and she had a pretty great party.
We had a bonfire and made s'mores.
I am soooooo tired, but I WILL finish this post.
While I was there, we took a trip to Six Flags of which I will have pictures and videos up very soon.
Overall, I had a pretty good summer, but I'm ready for school.
Dannille gets to go tomorrow.
The little lucky!

Bedabble(d).... Scribe Scuffle for August
My sister's room is bedabbled once again. Mom and I spent a whole day last month trying to help her clean it! It was so bedabbled you couldn't even see that she had a floor; it kinda looked like you would just fall into to the bedabble! She is a kid, though; and I do remember my days of bedabbled bedrooms.
I remember when Savannah was between 2 and 4. Her clothes used to be so bedabbled on laundry day! I mean we all have bedabbled clothes, that's why laundry exists, but I mean her clothes were all stained and blotchy.. It seemed like the poor kid just couldn't stand to have nice clothes.
That reminds me, I have a load or two of bedabbled clothes I should probably be washing....
I have always been one to hate being bedabbled. I don't like having bedabbled hands or feet or anything like that, but I love playing outside...
Being a teenager, sometimes life just feels to bedabbled to ever get clean, but thanks to God, I have little worries as I let Him lead.
We have a dog and his fur bedabbles my mother's nice furniture. His fur bedabbles the hardwood floors, too, but I shouldn't blame him for all of that. Our shoes and the dog's paws are also responsible for the bedabbled floors. That's why Saturday is cleaning day.
I can't really think of anything else that gets bedabbled, but I think this is a pretty neat post. Kinda random and bedabbled, yet it totally makes sense!
