Doing YOU WELL Wednesday#30 and some congratulations!



an encouragement link up and congratulations
Okay, I must first start off by apologizing...why, because I haven’t even responded to ALL of last week’s “DYWW” commenters…IKR! I’m sure some of you are saying to yourselves…WTW,  is she really having another linky-party and hasn’t even finished last week's! Give me some slack will ya? Lol! It’s been a long week y'all, but I promise, I’ll be sure to respond to each and every person who commented on my blog by this week’s end…I promise! :-) Joi's post on Monday was right on time concerning this very matter. So, this week I guess I’m “doing myself well” by at least keeping on schedule with this post…sigh! But hey, even though I’m not doing so great with that this week, I’m pleased to announce that someone in the Pulliam household is “doing himself well”! Who, you ask? My hubby…who received his Doctorate in Theology last weekend!!

Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #29

I’m sure by now all of your little and big ones have gone off to school. As I mentioned last week, our youngest is headed off today to start his senior year of high school. It seems like it was just yesterday we sent him off to Kindergarten. He was so adorable and shy. All the little girls volunteered to help him. Whenever we stopped by to visit, he always had at least two girls on each hand…too funny! Next year this time he’ll be going off to college. So, I’m “doing myself well” today by not crying and letting go of the last little bird in the nest!

Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #28 and the last week of summer break...

an encouragement link up and the end of summer break
Hi everyone! Hope your week has been fantabulous so far! I don't know about you, but I'm savoring every bit of this LAST full week of summer break...IKR! Ughhhh...can you believe it...gone, just like that! Thank God our son will be a senior this year, so...NO more outrageous school supply lists that consist of hand wipes, boxes of napkins and enough supplies to fill an underground bunker. It's been a few years since I've actually bought hand wipes and boxes of napkins for school - he is a senior - but you get the picture. No buying new book bags or calculators, yippee! But instead, we'll be filling out college

And don’t worry, I’m a very cordial host….I ALWAYS follow back AND I love making new blogging friends!
