Prom Update


So here is a picture! I could lie and tell you I am the thin, beautiful, youthful one, but I am not! Although, she is one precious young woman and the people at my house are quite fond of her!

The prom was so much fun and I will totally sign up to help again! I was in charge of the "back door" and was told no one was to come through that door. When someone knocked, I ignored it just to be safe. I ended up not opening the door for the assistant principals and their wives. I plead true to my orders and we got a good laugh!

My Dear got to park cars, lucky him! I had lots of nice people to talk with while at my post. What a blessing to talk with adults who love kids and are making an impact in their lives just buy showing up for work.

My Dear and I attempted to move to the dance floor with the kids. It was fun to watch them having fun! Apparently, some of them had discussed what My Dear's comments may be to them while they danced. As soon as we started to dance, one of them yelled at us, "You are too close, there is no room for Jesus!" Which we replied, " Good thing He is in our hearts!" Seems that is exactly what they had decided they would tell My Dear if he said something to them about dancing too close. The tables were turned! What a fun night! Wonder what the sitter will charge for both of us to get to go to the after prom fun next year? Better start saving now!

I'm glad your prom turned out nice. Ours was on a boat, so we just had to make sure no one was thrown off. Although, if one more kid called me "Mam," I was gonna throw myself off. My hubby did have to walk a ton to their cars, cuz the nearest parking garage was closed, and this was in Detroit. Need I say more? We're gonna take dance lessons before next year.

Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog and leaving the comment about your prayer triggers...especially the one about the curls! I have a child that has curls - I'll add this one to my triggers too!
Have a terrific weekend!

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
