Police Officer Lip Sync Challenge

Dear police officers of the lip sync challenge,
Please don’t stop. Please don’t stop recording yourselves lip synching along to your favorite tunes in your patrol car. Please don’t stop spreading positivity on social media. Please don’t stop putting smiles of laughter on millions of people’s faces each day when they log onto their social media accounts, which would have been 90% negativity on their timelines otherwise. Please don’t stop setting a good example for the world.
Over the past few weeks, each day when we wake up, my children and I watch a few lip sync challenge videos. They always pick a few they love to tag their Nana in. Some are sweet, some funny, some sentimental, and some will even bring a tear to your eye, but not a one of them are negative. No sad faces, no tears, no negative media attention. Each and every officer in every single video always seems to be having a good time. Even the ones paying tribute to a fallen coworker, gleam with honor and pride. And those of you lip syncing a worship song and sharing the Lord’s message, my what an example you are setting for the world!
In a world where we see so much negativity on the news and social media, the lip sync challenge has has added a smile and an excitement back to police forces all over our great country, but of corse there’s always that one comment. That one comment that is bitter and spiteful. That comment that you bite your tongue and don’t respond too. That person with a Fuddy Dud, Debbie Downer, Negative Nancy attitude. Please head no ear to their words. We know you’re not “wasting tax payer money” or “ignoring crime” to make a quick video.
Whether you’re sitting alone in your patrol car, teaming up with coworkers to give us a laugh, or you produce an 8 minute long production that looks like it came straight from a Hollywood film studio, just know you’re spreading positivity.
So please, don’t stop the lip sync challenge. Please keep it going for month & years. Don’t listen to the negative media and let it dull your shine. She’d light when others aren’t. You deserve more thanks and encouragement than anyone could ever give you. America thanks you for all you do. Please know, it does not go unnoticed.
Parsons PD & Decatur County Sheriff’s Department, please know I thank you for all you do, the hours you spend both on the clock and off. (By the way, I’m still waiting to see y’alls lip sync videos.) 😉
Please share and thank a police officer.

IN SEARCH OF : Friends, real ones

Almost 30 year old parents looking for other parents willing to let their/our kids destroy their house while we attempt to watch a ball game and stuff our faces. No worries, we'll let your kids destroy our house too. Dad enjoys playing with electricity, building stuff, and shooting guns. Mom enjoys singing Brittney Spears songs to the top of her lungs, wrangling children, and threatening their lives before we go in public. 2 children under 5 ______________________________________________________________________________ Why is it almost unheard of for people to have face to face friends? Has social media taken away the place of having real relationships? We literally only see the people we work with and attend church with. It has been that way for a long time. People don't have friends or acquaintances anymore. My oldest child is 5 and I honestly can't remember the last time we've done something with "friends." We may run into the occasional old f

The Season is Over

Image
As of last night, the season is over. We can attempt to get back into a normal routine and have dinner at a decent hour. No more double checking to see if uniforms are washed, socks are dry, and hats are kept up with because baseball/softball season is over. One more uniform wash and I'm done. Excitement & relief overcome me when I think about a normal afternoon of rest, but a sense of sadness immediately follows.  I know one day it'll be the last time I wash that uniform, the last time I attempt to get that dang belt out of those loops, and the last time I'll frantically search for a specific hat.  I almost feel guilty that it's over. There are only so many spring seasons until he/she either looses their love for the sport or is too old to play. I feel guilty for all those times I hoped for rain because I just wanted a night home. I dread the day that I don't see that little yellow helmet out on that field.  So for now, I'll quit c

Take The Trip

It ’s still pretty early in summer, so for those of you thinking of taking your family on vacation but you’re not 100% sure, take the trip. You may worry about  money, finances, work days missed, kids behavior, etc, but don’t. Just do it. Take the trip. A few years ago during a funeral visitation, I remember walking up to a casket to a grieving husband, friend, father. He left my husband and I with words we’ll never forget and since then we have lived those words. He told us no matter what, when it’s all said and done, you need memories because sometimes that’s all you have left. You need to take those trips with your kids. Every single one you talk about. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, just take the trip. Even if it’s just for a couple of days, take the trip. You can make more money. You may not get the opportunity to make more memories. When your kids are older, that’s what you have left. On our trip we’ve laughed, had fun, slept very little, watched our kids fall to
