I've made a ritual of watching Wife Swap on Lifetime when I get home and start checking email, cleaning, laundry etc.
Well today something struck me. One of the daughters on the show looked SO familiar. I thought "hmmm that looks like a girl I went to soccer camp at Freed Hardeman with..." She was a pretty cool girl. She was from Tennessee, and we were both planning/wanting to go to Freed and play for the soccer team there. Although I came here instead she stuck to her plans and played there. Anyway to make a long story short it WAS her!! They finally said this girls name and I started laughing because it was really weird to see someone I knew on that show.
Anyway I thought it was weird!
Anyway I googled that episode and this is what came up:
Christie Baker is a 41-year-old Southern belle who believes she deserves the best in life, which her 51-year-old husband, Richard, delivers in true Southern gentleman style, serving her breakfast in bed and routinely cleaning the house. The Bakers reside in Tennessee, where their lives revolve around their three daughters: 17-year-old cheerleader twins Maurie and Margo, and 11-year-old Mary Jewels. The girls and Christie get everything they want. Christie takes two bubble baths a day and spoils her daughters with regular manicures, trips to the hair salon and tanning sessions. This is one mother who believes her kids should enjoy childhood to the fullest, without the burden of chores or jobs. Christie herself doesn’t do any — husband Richard does everything and works 60 hours a week as an engineer.

Do you ever feel like you're barely keeping your head above water? This summer was a stressful one- my brother's wedding, health issues+ 15 hours of summer school. And without having a break, I transitioned into 17 hours at A&M + 3 hours online this fall. I dropped one class already...but I still don't feel like I'm going to make it.
I quit my job because I thought it would help... and although it gave me the gift of time, it also gave me the stress of worrying where my groceries were going to come from.
That plus all the goes on at Twin City has left me feeling like I'm about to drown. I've been trying to do so much..that I haven't done a good job at anything. I haven't been to Ladies Bible Study in about 3 weeks now. I hate that. I miss being there. But it always feels like Shakespeare or Jane Austen gets in the way.
I just feel like everything is building up...and pretty soon I'm either going to rip my hair out or be smothered. I'm sorry this post is so dramatic, but I'm really stressed and don't know how to remedy it.
I totally understand....just think..all this hard work will only make you stronger and a bright example to people like me who need the encuragement..so thank you!! And keep up the good work!!!!!
man, this makes me think i wish u could have heard what we talked about tonight at bible study. if u get a moment from that paper, come in my room and i can tell u about it. keep ur head up kiddo! pretty soon it'll all be over and you'll have that degree ur striving to get. just remember to make time for God and for fun! it'll keep u sane, i promise
