First Grade Love

 

While cleaning out the Backpacks for School today I found this. Shelby's Birthday is in June and school will be out so the staff gave her a birthday card. She scribbled it out and wrote a Love Note to Ryan. First Grade Crush is Ryan ?

Cow Rug

 

We are slowly completing shelbys room. I bought her a cow rug that is so cute.

ALL SEASONS BREAD FOOD

Ok. While at the Harker Heights Memorial Day Events we went to eat first before doing anything else. We got there at Noon, ordered our food at the All seasons Bread little food stand they had set up there. Beside the lady where you order is a thing under a heater wrapped in foil. Just like every other event outside I though you would order it and she would hand you the food from the ones in tin foil. Nope, 52 minutes later we got our order. Two burgers!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing else. Several customers were before me and getting mad, the lady behind the counter argued that no one had been stand in line that long. Plus it was made to order, so while you are at a fair you order your food and wait till it is cooked. I don’t think made to order places should be at fairs and festivals to start with. If they are they clearly need a sign that says order 25-1 hour wait time.
What if I had diabetes and needed that food within a certain amount of time. We went to Olive Garden last night and including wait time and eating it didn’t take us 52 minutes!!! So please stay way from the ALL SEASONS BREAD food stands in and around Killeen, Harker Heights, areas at festivals and fairs. Oh, and I forgot there is no sign but NO REFUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to the Restroom

This may sound easy to you; however if you have children you know what I’m about to say. 7 ½ years ago my first child wasn’t walking yet, and I had very peaceful trips to the bathroom to do my business like I had been doing since a very young age. I don’t think you realize how silence and cherished alone time in the bathroom is actually valuable until you no longer have it.
Present Day:
Now when I go to the bathroom I have two kids following me either fighting, in dire need of help, or needing to ask a question that can’t wait just 2 min’s before Life as we know ends. After I make it to the potty and actually sit I see two children standing in front of me, two dogs, and two cats fast approaching to explore what is happening with the white porcelain god and why water makes such lovely sounds. Depending on number one or two the room is closing in, the cats are almost to back of the toilet about to sniff my butt, the dogs desperately what to know what the cats are up to and can they do it too, somewhere in there is my children getting closer to ask a question or yell their side of the story. Which comes to this, number two happens, it’s life. I ask for just 2min’s alone in the bathroom for this. Just two.
But as a mother we all know that goes out the window when they start walking, you no longer get silence or even get read something. Not going to happen. Cats are now two feet up on the back of the toilet seat trying to see the water and wondering if a paw can come into the water anytime soon. While the dogs are getting closer to see what the cats are getting into and then you hear things from your children that at this point doesn’t shock you. “How do you pee with that fur between your legs?” During those special days of the month you get “Are you putting that thing up your BUTT?” “Why are you wearing a diaper?” Those few cherished moments are a thing of the past and with everyone watching and adding comments of EWWW, its smells like farts in here; not one animal or child has moved their position. After someone hitting the fan and covering there noses and mouths with coughing gestures the children finally leave. Now all I have to do is yell at the dogs and they leave. Which leaves the cats, and we all know cats they own you not you own them, so with a swift toss of toilet paper out the door, the cats scamper off to catch the mysterious white thing. I buy a few seconds of peace; this is my life.

Wii Fit -- I got one!!

 

Whoo Hoo!! I stood in line at Walmart for 1 hour and 30min for them to release them at midnight. Played a little with it last night but right now I'm going to bed to catch some ZZZZ's.

My Mothers Day Present

 

Running through the house on Mothers Day Shelby fell and broke her clavical. Two hours in the ER we had a sling, and no playing and running rules for 6 weeks.
She didn't break it all the way so it should heal fast if she can't slow down and not break it all the way. To tie her shoes might help this.

The Movie PS I LOVE YOU

wow. I cried the entire movie. My eyes are swollen along with my nose from kleenex use. Her husband dies, before he does though he writes these letters to her. They are sent to her thoughout the year. Just a tear jurker.


It made me open my hidden letter from Dan. Valentines day 2007, he asked what I wanted and I said a Home made card. Thinking it would come with fold of paper and some kid drawings on it, it did not. He bought bright pink cardstock, matching stickers and made a card. With several pages, and on each page is a hand written note of love and how much he loves me. With glitter stickers to show his feelings. That has been the BEST present from him so far. Each year he askes the same question. "what do you want?" Each year for each Holiday, birthday, etc. I say the same answer." A post it note that says I love you; although I don't think you can top that handmade card.

It is true the best gifts are made by the person you love, not bought in a store.
