MY KIDS

MY KIDS MAKE ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME! I'M SURE IF YOU HAVE KIDS THEY ARE THE SAME WAY. THE LATEST THING THAT HANNAH SAID MADE DANIEL AND ME LAUGH FOR SO LONG. WHEN WE ASKED HER WHAT SHE WANTED TO BE WHEN SHE GREW UP SHE SAID (WITH NO HESITATION) AN "ICE CREAM TRUCK! I WILL GIVE PEOPLE STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM AND THEY WILL BE HAPPY!" WHAT A SWEET LITTLE GIRL!

THEN THE OTHER DAY BENJAMIN WAS TALKING ABOUT PICK-UP TRUCKS THAT WE WERE PASSING AND I ASKED HIM IF THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED TO DRIVE AND HE SAID NO. HE WANTED A TRAIN. HE IS IN LOVE WITH THOMAS THE TRAIN AND PLAYS WITH THEM ALL DAY LONG!! HE ALSO HAS THESE UGLY THOMAS SANDALS (THANKS MOM) THAT HE JUST LOVES. HE HAS TO WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME! EVEN TO BED! HE WILL CRY IF WE DON'T LET HIM. I HAVE TO SNEAK INTO HIS ROOM AFTER HE HAS FALLEN ASLEEP AND HIDE THEM IN HIS CLOSET.

WELL THAT'S IT FOR THIS TIME. I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING GOOD TO WRITE AND OF COURSE THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MIND ARE MY KIDS.

CONGRATS HEIDI!!

BECAUSE IT'S ON MY MIND....

SO THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS BOTHERING ME TODAY. FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE TO GO TO A PARTY TONIGHT AND WE ALL HAVE TO DRESS UP. WELL THE DRESS I WANT TO WEAR IS A BAGGY MAXI DRESS AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL LOOK NICE ENOUGH NEXT TO ALL THE TIGHT, SHORT DRESSES I KNOW THE OTHER GIRLS WILL BE WEARING. BUT I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT HIDES ME...... OH WHAT TO DO....

NEXT, I HAVE ALWAYS SENT EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS. FOR YEARS AND YEARS I HAVE DONE THIS. MY MYSPACE PAGE IS IN ALL CAPS. NO ONE HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FINALLY GET ON FACEBOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO (I KNOW I'M LATE) AND I KEEP GETTING ATTACKED FOR THE CAPS!! PEOPLE TELL ME I AM RUDE AND THAT IT IS "YELLING" ONLINE WHEN YOU USE ALL CAPS. I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE! WHO DECIDED THIS AND WHEN?? WELL I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITH THE ALL CAPS. I LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT. EVERYONE WILL JUST HAVE TO DEAL.

I'M BACK!!

SO HELLO! I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE EVEN LOOKS AT MY POST ANYMORE, BUT I AM BACK. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR ALMOST SINCE THE LAST ONE! I STOPPED WORKING OUT AFTER MY SISTER'S WEDDING. I LOST A TOTAL OF 35 LBS!! I STILL HAVE 10 OR 15 MORE TO GO AND I AM PLANNING ON GETTING BACK TO THAT ONE DAY. SINCE I LAST BLOGGED I GOT A JOB FOR 3-4 MONTHS TO HELP BOOST OUR DAVE RAMSEY PLAN. WITH IT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A VERY NICE CHRISTMAS, GET OUR EMERGENCY FUND AND PAY OFF 4 CREDIT CARDS! I SURE AM HAPPY THAT IS OVER NOW! LIFE IS GOOD. I HAVE HAD MORE UPS AND DOWNS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAN I THINK I HAVE EVER HAD. I'M HOPING THINGS STAY CALM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I'M LOVING MY FAMILY, AND MY NEW LITTLE NIECE THAT NEEDS TO GET HERE SOON. I'M AM A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH'S MOTHER'S DAY OUT PROGRAM AND HANNAH LOVES GOING TO SCHOOL. HERE'S HOPING THAT I CAN KEEP THIS BLOGGING THING UP! NEW PICS COMING SOON!
