Holy Hanna-andy What a Day!

You know the joke about skidding into death saying “Wow – what a ride!”?

I feel like that is appropriate for today.

And no…I don’t know where the saying ‘holy hanna-andy’ came from…

It’s just one of those saying that pops into my mind from time to time.

No rhyme nor reason…

ANYWAYYYYYY…..

It was just one of those days –

Woke up with a tension headache.

Quick coffee, breakfast treat, shower and on the road again…

4 hour round trip, dr’s appt, quick Menard’s stop and back in town just in time (ok a few minutes late) for our Young Life committee meeting.

2 hours later I get home to a daughter that wants to go to a sleepover (oops, my honey forgot we were getting family pictures taken in the morning)…needless to say the 12 year old was thrilled with having to change her plans.

A friend then stopped by to purchase one of our old bikes…

A LOVELY dinner made by my honey (God I love that man)…

Another friend stopped by to purchase the girls old Gameboy for her grandson.

And at last, here I am.

Visiting with you, sharing my story, with chocolate covered almonds and a glass of wine….

Aaaaahhhhhhh….

Much better.

Oh and in the background…the show Castle on TV.

And I’m on my newly cleaned (from baby urp) couch.

Thanking God that this day is just about done and bedtime will be here soon.

The babies are back tomorrow…and there’ll be pictures…and there’ll be fun…

And hopefully there won’t be any baby urp!

I hope your day was a little less hectic – feel free to tell me about your day in the comments section! I’d love to have an actual conversation with you!

That’s all for now friends,

I’ll meet up with you again tomorrow.

Baby Puke vs. Sam’s Feet

Yup…

Another “Mother of the Year” moment…

{said extremely sarcastically}

Just give me that crown now.

Picture this: (said just like Sophia on the Golden Girls)

The daycare babies were at our house today…

Momma came at lunch, as she usually does for a visit.

I overheard her (sitting on the couch) telling Gabi: Oh Nicole (the one year old) threw up – she hasn’t done that for a long time. Jen (Momma) then proceeded to tease Gabi that maybe she was actually the culprit.

Now, take this fact in…I was not involved in cleanup. Read more

Shine On, Grandma, Shine On!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…

Let’s see just how true that is…

Oh the stories behind this picture…

First off, let’s start with the vintage toasters, which don’t show up very well in this pic. There’s a cute little scroll mark on the front.

I found them at the dump, with the cords cut off, and quickly snapped them up – putting them in our truck. As I write this, I laugh, thinking about the look on my husbands face. Read more
