Because She- by Kevin Mullins of makemovebreathe.blogspot.com

My hubby and I did a blog swap today and I think his is pretty darn good. Especially all the nice things he says about me and his admissions of guilt. I will put these on the fridge for future reference. I hope you enjoy and you can find him at makemovebreathe.blogspot.com

Because She:

Is the only one who tells me to shut-up

Calls my stupidity what it is on those rare occasions it emerges (insert first smiley face here)

Gets mad and stays that way for a while

Saved my life once (or twice)

Is willing to say "I don't like that and I won't do it"

Punched me in the solar plexus and left me gasping for air on the floor of my closet once

Can distinguish between sorrow and pouting

Won't sell out or play dumb

Throws away my favorite shirts when she doesn't like them anymore

Doesn't throw me away when she doesn't like me anymore

Holds grudges like a healthy person does (second smiley)

Moves me

Is an excellent judge of character (every home needs one)

Once birthed a child (at my urging) and then did it twice more

Is convinced of God's purpose for her and unwilling to settle for less

Locked me outside the house in my underwear, for no reason at all (third smiley would be appropriate here)

Another poem from my son

Another great poem by my son Reagan. Laters

The Small Small Book
I know of a small small book
which answers all your problems
you ask it a question
then wait for days
or a matter of months
until the help arrives in small, small print.
It is wise, like an old Chinese man
I've only found recently.....
for this book
has just become visible to me.

One of these days............

This is my bunny left over from Greek Easter. He is afraid of me. Afraid that I might eat him, so he sits very quiet and still on my desk. He never bothers me. Every morning I say "Don't worry, I won't eat you."

But he doesn't believe me cause he knows one of these days I might

and have him for breakfast- tail first, then ears. Laters

100% percipitation

So dismal to have nary a thing to report. All I have seen all day are grey skies and pouring rain. And this combo does nothing for my mood swings. Blah, blah and more blah. In fact, probably the most exciting thing about today was for me to find out that I have poison ivy. Ask me where I got it.....? I don't know. I was outside for a while yesterday, but I was wearing a rain slicker and 2 layers of long sleeves. How it jumped on my completely covered arms is beyond me.
Other exciting things on my agenda tonight are paying bills (woot, woot) and going to bed early. I know, I know, my life is a non-stop party bus. Pray for some sunshine here and some warm weather. Laters.

Sat-u-r-a-day

The haps of the day:
soccer, (I ran out of coffee before the games even started-bad)
some flower planting and yard digging, (sore back- check)
swap and shop- quarterly clothes exchange betwixt some friends and I (got a cool new necklace and ate a lot of Samoas with a Sam Adams, so it was all good)
lunch at our fave Chinese place, Village Gourmet, (yummy food- shout out to them, woot, woot)
a trip to Crumbs bakery for yummy cupcakes, (need I say more?)
a trip to the E.R. for Sher's arm which was dislocated by her brother on the aforementioned cupcake trip, (this was not fun, but we were out in 2 hours so I count it as a positive trip. Brother feels sufficiently bad and sorry) Now to bed cause my tail is draggin' . Laters.

Busy Little Me

Nothing much exciting happened today except this- I worked like a beaver all day. This has been an especially busy week and I am extremely tired. I am also pretty happy that I was able to work three big "e" words into the first three sentences of the blog.
I hope to have a little R & R, but the week-end is looking pretty packed. Isn't it funny how having some time away actually makes you more tired? One might think that a few days off with nothing to do would provide all sorts of rest, but I am exhausted!!
The kids are pretty tired as well, in fact, as I type Reag has fallen asleep lying against my arm. This is sweet in a mommy sort of way, but it also makes typing a wee bit more complicated.
The only thing on my agenda for the evening besides the sleep, which I mentioned already, is dinner at our fave Mexican place. Friday night is when they have the smokin' mariachi singer so Sher and I are pretty pumped for that. I hope he sings Scooby Doo. Laters.
