My Husband "Subvet" says that when our first son "Sonshine" was born the sun rose on our world, when our second son "Gator" was born the sun laughed and when our daughter "Sugars" was born all the flowers bloomed. That says it all.

It's about learning how to dance in the rain."

Thesaurus Thursday

Sorry this is a little late...I had some things to do.

So, next time I'm feeling unloved I'll just drop off the blogosphere without warning! Haha. Thanks to everyone for all the comments and emails asking if we're alright.

where did I go? OUTSIDE!! haha
It seems I can't blog and sew and garden and be Mightymom all at the same time...I wanna get some things done so I decided to go light on the blogging.

I'll fill you in on what all I've been doing in a day or two...or three, we'll see.

On to the game!

Now, for our winners!

adumbrate--what Gator Boy said when asked about his arm!


Next week's words:

Starting this week get your guesses in by midnight WEDNESDAY night so I can get the next game up on Thursday okay folks?

Have a good holiday weekend.

goals.

Let's see here.

Things I've done off that "Brain Drain" list....

add religious ed to the calendar
add riding lessons to the calendar
put bills in mail
call ortho for apt (Fri)
call PCP for apt (Tues--got referral to ortho)


I have also mended Sugars' dress which was on last week's goal post.

and I added to the list to call Sugars and Gator's school to find out what time they'll be early-released next friday.

5 done, 1 added, not bad.

I have also done quite a bit of work on the Lagniappe, but it's not done yet...I keep getting distracted. It's easy to get distracted when I don't really want to sit a the sewing machine to sew right now anyway....I'd rather be doing handwork, but I'm determined to not move onto another project before these are in the mail and Sister has her quilt!!

and you?
how'd you do with your goals this week??

Don't forget that Thesaurus Thursday is tomorrow! Get your guesses in by midnight tomorrow night!

Thankful Tuesday

Evansmom over at Just Sayin does a bit she calls Thankful Thursdays. Each Thursday she makes a list of things that she is thankful for that week. I happen to think this is THE BEST idea!!

Seeing as how I already have a regularly scheduled Thursday post I'm going to join her on Thankful Tuesday!! And I encourage you to join here on Tuesday and then go there on Thursday to double your weekly thankfulness!

By the way, there are still only THREE entries for Thesaurus Thursday this week...GET OVER THERE AND GIVE IT A TRY!



I am thankful that at least one of my kids looks like me....even if it means he "looks like a cab with both back doors open" as subvet said today. Sonshine...I'm sorry that your ears stick out so far, if you want when you're older we'll get yours fixed like I did mine in 7th grade...till then you should adjust your haircuts to NOT emphasize those ears. (I'll remind Daddy of this before he takes you for your next haircut!) :-)

I am thankful that my hubby is such a wonderful stay at home dad. It's a hard job and he does it well

I am thankful that this is my last night to work this week. I is tard.

I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to weed that flowerbed this week it's AWFUL!

I am thankful that my little girl wants to talk to me...all.the.time....every.second.I.am.awake..and a sometimes when I'm asleep!
