On My Desk....

My desk is a type of To-Do list as well as a catch all. Tonight it holds:

1. a shower gift for my soon to be sister-in-law who has a bridal shower tomorrow-lots of driving for me but we love this girl!
2. kindergarten lessons-I have the plan books but need my own planning book and L.'s books have been ordered. As soon as they get here, we are getting started with this one!
3. a green ball I could not find when I gave a friend the toy it goes too. Hope I can keep it hidden here until I see her again.
4. an empty Silly Putty egg and I am a little concerned about its contents (1) because baby girl has been crawling up here and (2) I have really enjoyed playing with that stuff and noticed, believe it or not, I skip an evening snack if my hands are busy. So glad L. won it at the library for reading 300 minutes! (but seeing that she does not read yet-I guess I earned it for reading to her!)
5. AWANA catalog time to order for this great ministry! Anyone want to volunteer?
6. information sheet for the Vietnam trip there is an informational meeting for those seriously interested on Sunday afternoon. I will be there!!
7. Artwork made of markers and stickers because I don't have the heart to throw it in the recycle bin. Likely to come to a Grandparent near you!
8. Plastic covered wires off of C's new toy that he saved up for with his yard sale money. My aunt recommended them to use to tie plants up because they will not rust. My Dear will appreciate them for his mini tomato garden. C. found the toy $5 cheaper at another Wal Mart vs. our local Wal Mart.
9. Receipt for jeans I returned for My Dear. I am horrible at buying clothes for him! I look at the price tag first, he does not.
10. Pictures my dad took of the big kids playing ball and made them into magazine covers. They are super cute and he added some humorous text. The kids thought they were real magazines! Plan to frame them and display with their trophies.

Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. I can honestly say, no one has ever said, "I like your mushy brain" to me before.

Cheerio Toes

No matter how tough the day has been, there are so many stages in my life that I want to savor and not forget. I am constantly reminded how quick 18 years can pass and each step of the way, our children will need us less and less. This morning, I walked around my nicely swept kitchen and rounded the bar to where our son had prepared a bowl of Cheerios. When I sat down, my socks had Cheerios clinging to them. Usually, it is my midsection food hangs on to but now it is my socks. One day my house will be tidy and Cheerio free. I took the above picture this summer when the neighborhood boys came inside to play. I don't want to forget the young feet that have felt welcomed and safe in our home. Nor do I want to forget how Lydia's pink shoes fit into the pile. I don't want to forget the piles of bibs that come out of a load of Miss Blake's laundry. I usually have to wash just to keep her in bibs. I treasure the memory of crawling into bed one night and My Dear's feet bein

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
