things that delighted me

By -
Everyday I find things that make me smile, laugh, chortle, horrify, frustrate, ponder, but over all delight.  Here are some of the latest things that amuse me to the core of my being...

Knowing that the truth always comes out..

Going to the movies with my daughter.. then when asking her how she like the movie, her saying, "I liked it, except for the kissing parts".. to which I say "good!, no kissing boys".. to which she says, "there are no boys I want to kiss.., umm  well.. not most anyway"...  *gasp* eek where's my defibrillator??

Paige being as underhanded as her dear old mom.. (sniff sniff I'm so proud) we are heading home, and she says "can we stop for lunch", and I say "dad is at cooking dinner." to which she replies " I know, I just want to be too full to eat lamb" :) oh I love her.

VBS, simple as

My book that I'm writing, it's called "the almost life" , it's HILARIOUS! :) (ok so I'm only up to chapter 4, but trust me, it's funny.

Being told I should be a stand up comic.  This has been a life long dream of mine, so that unsolicited comment made my week!

Going to airtime with Tanner for a b-day party..  9 year old boys hopped up on sugar are always amusing.

Having my dear friends son for the week. VERY entertaining!

Realizing while checking out at Albertson's that I am two people behind our new youth pastor, so I hid my beer behind my dish soap, he already thinks I'm crazy, why make him think I'm an alcoholic too?? :)


Band aids that look like bacon!!  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my cousin's wife Heather?? well I DO! We are seriously the same person..

Connor's Ocarina.. it's just flappin cool!

Reconnecting with old friends, it's neat to see who you have become through their eyes.

Successfully completing two weeks of WW

Abandoning my farmville farm, and being scolded for doing so by fellow farmers. :)

Prioritizing my commitments, before I'm committed, for being so committed.

Garrett singing on stage this morning, (Paige and Tanner too of course) but Garrett made me laugh, he is SOOO Garretty

Sewing something for the first time in years. I'm not saying I'm going to start sewing again, but it was fun.

Learning from my mistakes, and being ok with making mistakes in the first place.

Shooting water at my husband through a straw at a restaurant.

Having a friend I can talk to about everything and knowing she never judges me, it's priceless.

Being a WOO

Trying to be the kind of friend that I would want to have.

Wondering what else I can mail sans box to my brother.. so far a ball and a coconut.. what else doesn't require a box?

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

By -
A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

Marco!!

It never seems to fail. I go shopping.. doesn't matter where.. just out shopping. Having myself a grand ol' time, whether it be shopping for groceries or things a lot more fun than that, shopping. Shopping is great, until.... I leave the confines of the store/mall etc, and head to the parking lot only to have NO clue WHAT-SO-EVER where my fricken frackin car is!! NONE! No idea at all, good thing I have a green mini-van, cause THOSE aren't common! So then I embark on the mission of trying to find my car. I try the nonchalant approach at first, strolling with purpose down an isle as if I know exactly where I am going. This process is generally complicated by a car following me to get "my spot", so then I have to feign forgetfulness, "OOPS, (looking around frantically) must have left something in the store." It's back to the store to "retrieve" non-existent lost item, and try the car finding ruse once more. This time I try the more distract...
