How do I title this one?

Last week or the week before, I don't remember, Maude had a skirt on that did not have built in shorts. So many of her skirts do. So I told her that she had to wear panty covers so her panties wouldn't show. Apparently Joshua was in the room, I didn't notice. Well, today I had lunch with two wonderful sweet (never going to let me live this down)women. In fact, we were all going to a funeral and they had told another lady before I had even gotten there what had happen at lunch.

Joshua was sitting next to me. I had a shirt and skirt on, he lifted my shirt and said "Is this not a dress?" I told him no, then he preceded to lift my skirt and ask "Where are your panty covers?" Why in the world this could have not happened at home or no where for that matter, but no it happens so we have witnesses. I think it was that splenda packet that he downed just minutes earlier that led to his crazy talk. I went ahead and posted this so no one could take me down, like TAMMY (my sister long ago)

I have started questioning these strange things that happen to me and I have decided that it is just the way I look at life...Happy and very Blessed by God.
Panty Covers or not I am very blessed to have kids that care what mommy has on...
or friends to laugh with when life happens and probably not let me live this one down.

The Winner is...




Checkers! Wal-mart helped decide. (Along with all of your votes.) They had a whole line of checker flags stuff for dogs. Of course we had to get some of it. Isn't he cute? The kids love him! Sometimes he goes missing. Only to find him later with someone loving on him.

shopping

Yesterday I went to eat lunch with my sister and her husband. We went next door to TJ Maxx after we ate. I found this really cute desktop fan. This was the conversation:
Me: Do you like this fan? I think I might get it.
Tammy: How much?
Me: $69 (It is really cool Pottery Barn look and it was originally $150)
Tammy: It probably doesn't work
Me: Why wouldn't it work?
Tammy: I don't know, you will get home and it won't work.
Me: I am getting the fan.
Standing in line to check out with my cute fan
Me: You really think it won't work?
Tammy: I don't know, probably.
Me leaving the line finding a pole and plugging it in and turning it on...this is the best part.
Me: TAMMY JUSTIN the FAN WORKS FINE!(Talking in the fan voice, you know the one were you talk into the working fan and makes your voice funny)
Tammy and Justin acting like they don't know me.

But she got me back...I then started trying on sunglasses in line (It was a long line that wasn't' moving)
I asked if she liked 'em (I couldn't tell because of the big security thingy)
She said they were cute. Bought the fan and the glasses. The checkout girl took off the tags for me. Hopped in the pickup put on my new sunglasses, checked myself out.
UGH! They were so ugly! They had glass clear across the nose, they looked like goggles. I called her, she said "Look at this way you can wear them when you work with hazardous material." Thanks Tammy!

Ok check the blog tomorrow night or Sunday. You don't want to miss it.

not much

There is not a lot of funny things going on...
So I thought I would fill you in on Bible Class tonight. I have the most amazing group of kids 9-4 age group. Last week we made cards for our dear Miss Lena Powell. She had fallen last week and broke her hip. So this week we went to the hospital, sang songs and prayed for her and her roommate Dorris. The kids were so good and I know the ladies loved hearing their sweet voices. Then we went and took pictures of the kids at our preacher's house. We have a new preacher coming in July, they have 4 kids. So we are going to send pictures of each kid and a little about themselves. They are coming from Alaska, so we thought they might want to know a few kids before moving. The only 2 girls I have in class were excited because of the 4 kids they have 3 of them are girls. I use to only have one girl in class but since Maude turned 4 she thinks she gets to promote to the big class. So now I get to teach all 3 of my kids. Notice I used the word 'get' not 'have to'.

Have a great rest of the week!

4!

4 Reasons I love Maude
1. She loves to pray for all the great things God does in our lives.
2. She continues to tell me how much she loves me and her daddy and her brothers.
3. She loves to make friends with any girl.
4. She brings joy to so many older people by her sweet and caring nature for them.

4 Things I have learned from Maude
1. Girls can talk a whole bunch about nothing.
2. Pretending is just about the greatest thing in the whole world.
3. That your feet can be used as dolls if you don't have any dolls with you.
4. A flash of long eyelashes will make her daddy do anything.


4 Injuries that Maude has had in her short 4 years
1. Hit in the eye by brother with a 5 iron in his back swing. Small scar in the eyebrow.
2. Nurse's Elbow (dislocated elbow)
3. Scar in the back of her head from falling and hitting table leg.
4. This is an odd one but it left a scar on her forehead. She fell and got a huge black goose egg at my parents house. It was so big it left a white line on her forehead were the egg use to be.

Arkansas

OK, I have to start by saying I never really consider myself a person who groups people. But after this weekend...
This past week when we told people we were going to Arkansas for a wedding a lot of people had comments, I thought how different could it be. Well, we flew into Arkansas early yesterday morning and we stopped by a mall. I had so much going on before we left that I had forgot to take my fingernail polish off, so I decided while we were in the mall I would get my nails done. There I sat next to a high school girl who had skipped school to get her nails done for prom. Interesting...probably happens in Texas...but then she stood up and had on t-shirt, baby blue sweat pants and CAMOUFLAGE RAIN BOOTS not something I had seen before. Cody even noticed her coming out and said she met up with two other girls with the same outfit. It was just kind of funny. Well, tonight we went to dinner and there were a ton of high school kids there for prom. (no boots though) But when we left the restaurant the girls were all standing outside of the limo SMOKING.
Welcome to Arkansas...
