Is It Just Me or What????

Everyone seems to have a reason for making bad choices. It is rare for a person to say "yeah I did it and I am going to take responsibility for my actions". It is always, well yada yada yada yada. I know it is hard to break bad habits, and even harder to make good choices when you have been raised in a bad environment however, WE have to break the cycle and become responsible for our actions. For example, there is not a soul that forces me to eat congo bars in multiples, or drink Diet Coke from a funnel. Debbie Haley has a congo-bar eating problem. I make the choice. I have an easier time when people are honest. I have respect for someone who is truthful.

Our society needs: God, morals, respect, consequences, accountability!!! Our society does NOT need: excuses


I pray that Mark and I teach Kallie and Kyle to be good citizens.
Have a good week and let those lights shine!!! love and peace to all

Happy Birthday to....

Aunt Dawn we LOVE you!
Also Happy Birthday to Uncle Mike, we LOVE you too!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has a good weekend, and find time for yourself, get away---even if it is just a Calgon take me away!:)))))))))))))))))))))))Love and peace to all-D

So many People Hurting.....

Kyle made the comment on the way home from church tonight that the sick list took longer to read than the devotional!! Which is about right. Several people are sick and have so many burdens at this time. It is an honor for me to pray for their speedy recovery and for their burdens to be lifted. I was thinking about the gift of prayer. It is a gift, you know! We can plug right in to God at anytime, anywhere. That is so refreshing to me. To think I, (Debbie Haley) have the gift to talk to my creator! Wow! And he cares and listens, and always answers. Double Wow!
No, President Obama may not know who Debbie Haley is, nor does my Senator or my Mayor, but my creator does! How cool is that????? Darn cool! Love and peace to all

Spring...Spring... Come Early, pleazzzzzzzzz

Thank you to everyone that has lifted a prayer on behalf of our family. It has been OVER-whelming to say the least, but we made it and are happy to be somewhat back to normal. Harris ( my FIL) is better, but really weak, my Mom, is better but still tired. So I guess we are weak and tired!!!!

Thank you for all your blog posts, cards, calls and just thinking of us. It is nice to know others care. We have been so busy with the sick that our house has been chaos as usual. However, I have not been around to hear all the "happenings". So, if you know something I don't please let me in I hate to be the last to know anything pertaining to my kids:)))))

Evan and Kallie are celebrating togetherness, Kyle is celebrating life, Mark and I are working and Nick is sleeping. One good thing that the cold has brought to us-our cat and dog can co-exist in the house now. WE just let them let it fly!!! It is good to be 40+ you tend to let things coast a lot more and enjoy the craziest things.
Ross is back from NYC, Jesse is back from Alabama, and both are back at school! This school year is flying by-I cannot believe it is time to look for prom dresses!

This weekend we will be celebrating Dawn ( my SIL) birthday as well as my brother (one of the thorns) Mike. They look good to be sooo young!!!

Love and peace to all-P.S. It is nice to know there are children sleeping in the White House tonight. It makes it a home not just a place:)

A Prayer for.....

Andy, and the Dunn family!! We Love ya!

F-R-I-D-A-Y-!!!!:)

Let's all do it together, one, two, three, AH-HHHHHHHHH! Finally Friday! It has been a busy, lon---------g week! Or is it just me?? The Haley's have no plans this weekend, except to cheer the TITANS on tomorrow! And to sleep in, in the morning! Just watch I will be bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6:30 in the morning and all during the past week I have had to drag myself out of bed. Also, it is a FULL moon which means the werewolf part of me comes out and I can't sleep. Good ole T PM helps though! On full moon nights it takes two:))) What is up with that? Am I the only person who can't sleep well when the moon is full? I know I am not, because Mark and Kallie are the same way. Weird!???

We ate with D & D tonight. It's somewhat of a tradition with us. Usually the kids go and Chase but tonight the kids did their thing. I am thankful for family, they make things all better and it is nice to re-connect with them after a long, busy week.

I hope everyone finds a way to get away from their daily routine and enjoy some time this weekend. I am off to bed or to watch TV and once all the chickens are in the nest maybe I will sleep. Love to all---D

The Steering Wheel of Life

It is funny how "we" humans work. Or should I say, how I "work". No I do not mean work, work. I guess I am trying to say how I handle my daily routines. As a Christian I am not promised an easy life, just a forgiven one! Which brings me to my steering wheel story. When things go as I think they should, and I approve of them, I feel in-control. I have the steering wheel of life and managing well, driving down blue skies and rainbow lane. I can handle this and whatever comes into my lane! However, if life throws me a curve I feel out-of-control. Oh, no something is in my lane,a sign is coming into focus it reads Lucifer ahead beware!! Maybe I am not in control, oh I need help, God are you there??? Hell-o!! I have to be reminded I am NOT in control. No, I am not going through some kind of terrible crisis, but just like most, I become weary. I think it is the weather! No sun + a lot of rain = a blue Debbie! I found this verse tonight-Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 2 Peter 5:7 I know God is with me! I am blessed with a loving husband and healthy children. I am truly thankful...but weary.....sun please and hot weather:)))))))))))))))))))

Happy New Year

I need SUN! Hot baking SUN!!!!!! Is it just me or has it been cold for------ever? I am longing for a trip to the lake to bake in the hot sun!!! Just give me my float pull in one of our favorite spots, turn the radio up, and bake!! AHHHHHHH Then we usually grill, yes our boat has a grill, it is wonderful, and after Chef Poo whips up a meal, I will proceed back to my float, bake more, flip over, and you guessed it bake more. I can't hardly wait! By I guess I will-since it is at least 5 to 6 months away. But a girl can dream!!!

I guess I will settle for artificial sun! A girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta do!!!!

It is just me and Nick today!!!Everyone else has gone riding. The troops will come home hungry, so I guess I had better get to cooking. Love to all!!!
