The sun is shining.

The temps are pleasant.

This is the last week of summer school.

Nothing can wipe the smile off of my face today.

Hugs to you all!

Lots of cuddling...

at 11/04/11 12:27AM
I have been spending a great deal of time cuddling with my little man at the expense of other responsibilities. What? What is that you say? I need to mop the kitchen floor, go through some papers on the counter and deal with the overflowing laundry?!!


Yeah, I will get to it but right now I choose to snuggle with my Q-Dub. He won't be little for long!!

    Watching my nephew, they do grow up fast!

    You know, all those chores will still be there later. Q-Dub is learning to love and trust his mom. What do you mean at the expense of other responsibilities?

    I wouldn't dream of suggesting otherwise!

    You know the saying...a messy desk is the sign of a genius? Well, I think a messy house is the sign of an attentive mother. :-)

Trick or Treat!

at 10/31/11 3:04PM
What is the best, and worst, treat you ever got in your bag?

Mine? Best: A whole big bag of my favorites (Thank you, Grandpa Al!)
Worst: Raisins (but I still ate them because I LOVE raisins!)

  • justg
    hmmmm....I'm pretty sure I always got pretty good stuff....i wasn't big on getting apples.

    I only went trick-or-treating once. The only thing I really remember getting was cookies when I visited my grandmother's house (and she could make anything taste good, so you know those were some good cookies.)

    anything chocolate (unless it had coconut) was always the best! Licorice was always the worst. I was never allowed to eat apples/cookies/anything unpackaged since there was a huge hysteria about razor blades in food about that time.

I love my son!

at 10/19/11 11:35PM
I just had to put that out there. He is wonderfully perfect... for me. I am enamored with this little man. Good thing too because he is going to be part of my life for quite a while!
  • justg
    There is just something special about a son.
    I think it has something to do with our love for their fathers.
    Watching them grow gives us such insight into our Big boys.

    Interesting thought. I never considered that before.

Tale of a Tattoo

at 09/19/11 1:08AM
A friend from a congregation in another community recently published a picture of her first, and brand-new tattoo, on facebook. She described how she drew it out and had the tattoo artist place it just above her wrist. It is an open heart with one side curving in to look like a wave because she adores the ocean. Above the top right of the heart are four dots, each representing one of her four children. Inside the heart on the left side is a small, solid heart to represent her husband. Along the flat side of the heart on the left is a verse in Psalms.

This friend has always had trouble making and sticking to decisions so it was quite surprising she made the commitment to get a tattoo. Apparently a number of people were surprised by the news because she had nearly 20 comments to her picture post within a half an hour. Wild!

I went to show the hubs the picture of her tattoo earlier today, and I could not access her page. It seems she has discontinued her account. I wonder if she got feedback she didn't want. Very interesting... the perils of social networking!

    She sounds a little insecure to me....

    I imagine someone told her how sinful body art is.

    Personally, I would have a tattoo if I had a canvas worth drawing attention to it!

    I'd have one if I wasn't terrified of needles! I like doing henna though. :)
