We Survived!

Bug: We're gonna be good at this parenting stuff.
Eye: Yeah I think so.
Bug: It's exhausting.
Eye: Um, yeah.

We watched his two (almost three) year old niece P for the weekend...it was a ball of fun and she's adorable and hilarious and very well behaved...but for us the non-parents....very tiring. We give many many many props to those of you who do this full time!!

Bug got to go home and not enjoy the midnight diaper change.....so I'm a little sleepy this morning...but all in all we had fun.

We took P to Chuck E Cheese and oh my bob how cute were Bug and P!!! We took her shopping and got her a new book and some plush toys....although the funniest was her with her bunny....she'd put him to "bed" in her play refrigerator....

but yeah...it was a ton of fun and great practice for the many many moons down the road when we decide we're ready....but for now, let's focus on getting down the aisle and figuring out how to take care of each other :-D

WAHOO!

"He went Wahoo!
He went wahoo?
when was the last time he went wahoo?
I'm sure I don't know.
when was the last time YOU went wahoo?
well, I'm SURE I don't know."

tee hee. I love that movie.

It's one of those days when I'm ready to run in a hundred directions or just sit down and take a nap. TGIF Friends!
It's been an incredibly long week...and yes, I survived it.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend....we're taking care of Bug's niece!
Ms. P will be 2 in April and is downright adorable!!!
Bug's already got big plans in mind...the mall...Chuck E. Cheese....I hope we have enough energy!!

STILL love me some message....

Romans 8:26 -28 MSG
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves...and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Drink it in...let the peace flood your soul, and may your day be blessed.

Color Me Prepared!!!

I think I am now ready to take on the world. Thanks to this site and my J brother's Christmas Gift to me.

I can create safety pins from paperclips and create a mattress shack and forage for edibles and I'm thinking I'm ready to take on the world!!

Spent the weekend in the C Village...it was a good trip....Friday night we vegged in front of Sweet Home Alabama and ate take out...Saturday we ventured in to O town and saw my daddy, got my ring re-tipped and put the deposit on our wedding bands....ventured off to do a little shopping and then delightful pancakes at a little place in the P Vill....mmm...all you can eat and you can even change up your flavors...and I'm not even a pancake fan. However, I did eat three blueberry pancakes and was sad when there wasn't room in my stomach for more...
Then off for a quick stop by Dad's to get some colloidal silver...you see the Bug had an emergency root canal and is still facing a bit of the infection...however...this colloidal silver stuff is good!! It's what I used on my face after chewing on the airbag...and look ma' no scars!! I've also used it on canker sores, strep throat and athlete's foot to see amazing recoveries. Gotta love natural antibiotics....google it and you'll discover the wonders ;-D
After seeing Dad we ventured home and played Scene it and then had a candlelit dinner....sorry, no pics....after my delightful mint chocolate bit the dust twice in two weeks and they told me "these are known issues" and that even though I'm under manufacturer's warranty...it's $50 to fix it....I reactivated my dinosaur of an LG and await September to get a new phone for free....so no pics but it calls out, receives calls and I can text, so really, I can't whine too much.....

but I digress. dinner...yes...rotini a la vodka, salad with homemade (!!) Italian herb dressing (yep, from scratch, not a mix!), garlic bread and bananas foster ice cream for dessert....then another round of scene it...it was fun! Bug annihilated me but we had a good time.

Sunday we ventured off to A town to see my mommy and a couple of the sibs....saw the progress the J brother is making on his house - can I just say I am so incredibly impressed!?!?!?! He is doing an amazing job building this place and I wish I had pics to post!

Then we made nachos, watched Macguiver and laughed at how we used to think he was so high tech and that show was the living edge....and then ventured back to the BCity.....

Terribly exciting isn't it? This weekend we get to fix my car...again...tell me that doesn't sound like a big stinking pile of fun.

But every day brings us one day closer to August so I'll get up, smile and venture on.....
