Jesus Will Forgive You

We woke up this morning to liquid dog poop on the rug by the back door. Yesterday it was puke all over the dining room carpet.

Piper Ann said,”Daddy, did Murphy sh*t all over the place? (No, that wasn’t the word she learned a couple weeks ago. She’s known that one for a while). Of course this got a huge laugh from Nathan and got a repeat from Oliver. Luckily RIcardo didn’t really respond.

Due to the response she got she kept saying it. I told her to stop and she didn’t.

Finally, I said, “Piper Ann, Jesus doesn’t like that word.”

“He doesn’t?”

“No, he doesn’t so lets not say it anymore, ok?”

Nathan’s interjection,”But Jesus will forgive you if you do!”

Mommy’s very grateful for that.

HELP!!

So, somehow I got talked into teaching the 2’s class for VBS at the church we don’t go to. Its probably not even the church we would go to if we did go to church. My kids just go to preschool there.

This is where you come into play… I’m taking suggestions for songs, activities, and maybe crafts for 2 year olds. It doesn’t really need to be structured. Its more or less a nursery for kids of other volunteers.

Thanks in advance!

I Did It

As most of you know I work part time as a hairdresser. I used to work every Wednesday and Thursday. Every other Saturday and opposite Tuesdays. It doesn’t seem like very much (It usually only added up to between 10 and 16 hours a week). There was a lot more involved than just going to work. I had to make sure the house was semi clean for the babysitters, and have something prepared or at least planned for dinner. I was spending more time getting prepared to go to work than I spent at work, which meant spending less time being a mom.

After much discussion with Ricardo and my own mind. I decided to approach my boss about working only one day a week and every other Saturday. It seems almost pointless to work so little, but I love doing hair.

Its amazing how much less stress I feel and I’m so relieved!

Stay tuned to my next post for some specials I’m running.

Please Pray

Whoever it is that your pray to, please say a prayer for her.

Do Too, Do Not, Do Too, Do Not

…I was actually part of this conversation. Although Oliver walks around the house all day saying those words, except in past tense.
With a few preceding questions we came upon the topic of how people get cancer. I explained that there’s no way to prevent cancer, but there are things you can do to reduce the risk. I explained that not smoking would be one of those things.
Nathan,”Well you smoke mom.”
Now, I can’t completely deny this, because I used to smoke before kids. I have also been known to have one every great while…like 2 a year. However, I’ve never smoked in front of my kids.
Me,”No I don’t”
Nathan, “yes you do.”
“No, I don’t”
“Yes, you do.”
“Nathan, when did you see me smoke?”
“In the car when daddy was driving.”
Ok, now I know this never happened, because even when I was a “smoker” I never smoked in the car when Ricardo was driving, except on the very rare occasion.
“Nathan, that never happened. I don’t smoke.”
“Do too”
“Do not…”
Nathan, “Smoking is for LOSERS mom”
Fabulous

My Mother’s Day Wishlist

Ricardo, if you’re tuning in…

I would like one of these
to help with my thighs.

I don’t know much about this, but the Wii has never let me down. I guess you stand on the balance pad and can do yoga, strength training, and aerobics.
This would be pleasant in my garden..
This isn’t exactly for me, but I would benefit exponentially. I’ll be adding some swings.
This is really reaching for the stars, but we can dream, right?
And while you’re at Macy’s, throw in one of these, too. The kids have pretty much ruined my couch. I’m thinking leather is the way to go for us.

That will be all.

Oh, does anyone have any ideas for mother in laws’ gifts? I have 2 to buy for.

He’s Home!!!!!

…and my kids only picked up one new swear word!

Free Tulips!

Today in Chesterfield Valley in front of Petsmart there is the biggest pile of tulips that you can help yourself to.

Of course when I went it was pouring down rain. I left the kids in the car so I could dig in peace. It might take a while to dig the mud out from under my nails.

It never fails when people are doing something generous, others take it for granted. There were people complaining that they didn’t know what color their FREE tulips would be. It kind of annoyed me.

Lol

After I picked up Piper Ann from school today, I drove by a gas station. This is what the sign said…

Unleaded-3.57

Super-3.74

Vspot (which I guess is Shells way of saying, the best gas)-LOL

I thought it was pretty funny.
