stepping over puddles.....

 

 

 

 

.

.

.

.

My mom always has the coolest stuff.....

Love this old suitcase!

.

.

.

.

.

 

Given what I have gone through the last  2 1/2 months, {read here}

I am surprised at where my spirits are at......

.

.

Not saying I don't have moments of anger knowing I have been lied to, manipulated, promised things and I'm finding out more and more things that makes me utterly cringe.
 

Im mad at myself-------cuz I am a believer.......

I believe, I trust, and I try everything in my power to bring out the good and smile.

Even when Satan is involved,,,,,,,,lol

.

.

.

Its my most best trait and also my worst!

.

.

.

 

Some days I think I should be madder then I am, or sadder then I am.

I'm just not.

Being daily aware I don't have my personal belongings and knowing they are being pawned and sold.

.

.

I have so MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR......

Why would I wallow?

That's exactly what Satan wants me to do.

I really know NOW that Heavenly Father is aware of me and he hasn't stopped watching over me since the day I packed up my car and drove three days home......he hasn't left my side!

and I won't let him down now......

.

.

.

So-----Stepping over the puddles and walking forward!

.

.

.

.

.

Its definatly a different Christmas this year.

But a very good Christmas!

A simple Christmas!

Telekinesis

 

 

 

Sometimes I wish I had Telekinesis powers.......

More so for evil pleasures....lol

 

Does that make me  evil?

I was sent this saying this morning and I laughed out loud........and then felt bad that I thought it was so funny.

I still think its funny..........and I'm still laughing!

.

.

" Some people are like Slinky's.....Not really good for anything,

but then you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs"

.

.

.

Lice.........I think we  got em....:)

How annoying this process is!!

Not to mention exhausting.....

My two older girls had it when they were little.......at the SAME TIME......, and charlee was 3 weeks old with a severe case of fussy baby colic, no sleep syndrome.

YA----not fond memories!

Funny how I can't go very many days without  funny little nudges that I have neglected my blog.

.

.

.

Off to get my fix.........

 

Mission Elf-----Day 8

 

 

With his girlish behavior last week, i think he is trying to over compensate this morning!

Altho, he chose to use Pink shaving cream!

.

.

.

I'm beginning to wonder if our elf is gay.

.

.

.

.

.

Mission Elf-----Day 7

Things are at FULL speed around hur.......

.

.

My mom and the kids made these snow globes yesterday.

SUPER easy!

She always does the cutest things!

We found these little trees at Walmart for $1 { Spray painted Charlee's purple }

also found these other little treasures there too!  In the Christmas section...

Distilled water.

Glycerin. { just a few dashes}

Add glitter and maybe little plastic snow flakes if you have em.....

Epoxy glue.......dry over night!

WA-LA!

.

.

Cute---easy---cheap!

 

 

 

Yesterday I had plans to start on my Christmas socks for my kids!

.

ALL of my Christmas is in Texas.....I'm sad I don't have anything, nor will I ever see those things again.

But to be honest.....I hope it burns.  ; }

.

.

That being said.........lol

Here I am creating NEW!

moving on........starting fresh............

.

.

So here is my pattern.

READY to get to work....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wake up.

Get bathed.

Get dressed.

Do hair.

Preparing for my WONDERFUL day to start and to accomplish much....:)

.

.

.

Charlee:

"Mom, I can't stop itching my head and it bothers me"

.

.

I continue to throw clothes at her to get dressed, and not really acknowledging what she just said.

She says it again.....

.

.

AH!!

I stopped dead in my tracks and grabbed her and put her on my lap......

and searched!

I KNEW IT!

 

I hate to even say the word............its just a creepy word.

.

My little 4 year old has lice!

.

.

So Trying not to panic....

and realizing my socks were no longer on my priority list.

GAH......so lame.

.

.

So plan A turned into PLAN B!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gathered all my bedding, pillows and stuffed animals....

and started the MOUNTAIN of laundry I will be doing for the rest of my day.....

Awesome-sauce!

.

.

Ran to walmart for shampoo and donuts!

I NEEDED BOTH.

ALONG with a quick stop at Sonic...........priorities people!  Priorities!

.

.

I shoved a WHOLE donut in my mouth, washed it down with Dt. Coke and washed Charlee's hair!

 

.

.

.

So after my 7th load of laundry, I took a break and worked on the TENTS.

 

.

Whoever invented fast drying spraypaint, ?........I love you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

.

.

So----------To top off my most blissful day.

I was carrying blankets down the stairs to put them back on the beds

and I tripped and missed the last two stairs.

Twisted my ankle and my right knee took the brunt of the fall.

.

.

SERIOUSLY?

after saying HOLY FRIK, I got up to see if anyone saw.

lol

 No one did.

So I hobbled myself the rest of the way down the stairs.....

,

.

.

I laughed the rest of the day.

Cuz I think when people fall its funny......

But, really?  really? REEEEALLY?

for everything thats holy-------I really wanted to make the dang socks, dangit!!!

And here I am, a lice infested crippled!

 



Misson Elf-----Day 5

HA!

Ok----this one was by far the funniest......

Charlee and Jax were in SHOCK.........knowing Benny snuck on them while they were sleeping to painted their noses.

Jax says.........."Payback Benny, payback"!

.

The kids are having an absolute BLAST with this.....

Glad Benny is part of our family this year!

.

.

Not to mention I am quite clever.........{ wink }
