I helped my niece enter her mom, my sister in a contest from the local news station, Today's THV - local CBS affiliate. The winner was chosen this morning and out of hundreds of entrants, Mandy's picture was picked to be the winner.

Sunday morning's church service at Crosby Baptist Church kicked off with a special from Southern Grace featuring Tisha Black (me), Aaron Sanders, Christy Womble, and Randy Morris! This was recorded by my husband with my Iphone, so it's not the greatest quality but most definitely the most fun I have had singing a special in a while. I LOVE this song. I hope you can enjoy it as well.
I came across this today and I wanted to post it here. I have always enjoyed Steve Hartman's stories. Being a mother, this one really tugged at my heart strings. I think that as humans, we tend to overlook the needs of others more often than we care to admit. But, as a Mom if I see a child hurting or in need no matter if they are my own or not I hurt as well. Why do animals show so much compassion for one another? This instinct is so deeply embedded into a mother's soul that it's just "what we do". As you enjoy what these "mothers" do, I am going to go enjoy what I do and get the house cleaned up while the kiddos are gone to school! ;)
Entertainment: The Last Song starring Disney's very own Miley Cyrus, A/K/A Hannah Montana and Greg Kinnear (Oscar®
nominee, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, As Good As It Gets, 1997, Little Miss Sunshine, You've Got Mail). If you're raising a teenage daughter, knows someone who is raising a teenage daughter, or face raising a teenage daughter in your future I would highly recommend this one! It is an emotional roller coaster. As the movie begins, Miley's character Ronnie is a complete and total spoiled brat who back talks her father and is mean to just about every single person she comes across. She's harsh and rude. As events unfold in the movie we learn why she has hardened her heart just as it begins to soften up. It is a great "coming of age" movie, to be very cliche. It will probably make you cry...well, it made ME cry. It is an awesome movie. I have not read the book, so before you ask me how different it was, I cannot say. The screen play was written by best selling novelist and screen writer Nicolas Sparks who also wrote The Notebook!

I went to the doctor today. I did get one piece of good news. I've lost 4 lbs since my last visit. He asked what was going on and I told him that I didn't know why and I assured him that I was still eating well. For instance, last night right before bed I couldn't decide on cookies and milk or pudding and milk so I had all three. Today after the visit I also had some of Sonic's new fried ice cream. It wasn't bad but not nearly as good as I had craved it to be either. I'm sure by the time I made it to the bottom I found that extra four pounds, don't ya think?! Maybe I should get some deep fried pickles tomorrow just to be sure.
I have not made any more progress toward delivery. I am still the same as I was last week when I visited so we're scheduled for another office visit next Thursday which just so happens to be her "due date". My doctor informed me today that I should remember that her due date is not a deadline just a projected time frame that is subject to change. *LOL* Thanks, Doc but remember this is #3 for me so my hopes are NOT up, but if the weather gets back up in the 100+ temps next week we'll be talking about inducing this little "projected time frame". :)
Tonight as I was blog hopping the baby girl got the hiccups and I tried to get good video of it by putting the remote control on my belly. I thought I would post it here and let you see for yourself that fetuses really do get them. It is the strangest feeling when she has them and obviously it makes her very uncomfortable as well. Take a look: (there is some sound, hubby was watching television)
