Shooting Star Day!

Wow it's one of those gorgeous Sundays! The sun is out in full force (although it is HOT, it's pretty). I woke up kind of sick this morning.. not too bad at all. Ate a couple of dum dums and then felt well enough to start eating food and drinking sweet tea, and all is fine now! Yay.. makes my day even more beautiful!

I'm about to scrub my floors in a minute, then take my precious little girls out to play. They've been so good so far. Eating their food (always wonderful when we don't have food wars), playing together, and being silly. So they deserve to have some fun that doesn't involve watching Sesame Street. lol.

I'm sure you're wondering about the title of this blog. That is what Ariel has declared today. Shooting Star Day! We have a meteor shower that is supposed to peak around midnight tonight and Ariel is super duper excited because I told her we can go lay on the deck together and watch. I pray it's clear! Every year, it has been cloudy and I have never seen an actual meteor shower. Especially one that is supposed to be as good as this one is.

We stepped out on the deck last night right before bed to see if we could catch a glimpse of one and sure enough, we all did! A huge, bright one went streaking slowly across the sky right above our heads. Ariel saw her very first shooting star on August 11th! She was so in awe and of course I was too. I always am when I catch one. There is something so magical to me about them. Like it makes me realize just how much more there is to this universe then the world around me. It just kind of makes me sit back and say "WOW!" . It gives me an almost spiritual feeling, like when I see one, I just see God. I know, it's weird, I can't explain it. But I love them and I remember all the time when I was little I'd ask God if he heard my prayers to let me see one. Of course most of the time, I didn't, but I understood God is a very busy man. lol.

Well I should go and get my house all cleaned. I'm finding I have much more energy to do so now, so I'm running out of excuses! I have a roast and veggies in the crockpot and the whole house smells of it. I can't wait until it's done.. it sounds so good to me right now! I'll be back on later to write about how our Shooting Star Night went...praying it's amazing!
