Very interesting day today! How ’bout ya’ll?
Okay, maybe it wasn’t that interesting. Not that I was lying before. It was interesting to me. Just maybe not so interesting to you :’)
I don’t have any long, wisdom~filled, inspiring thoughts on any given topic right now as I usually do.
Oh, wait. I was just thinking about somebody else’s blog.
I don’t usually have those here.
But you can still *pretend that I do. If you want to.
Or you’re like a big~purple~dinosaur~who~shall~remain~nameless and that’s the way you roll.
Either way. It’s all good to me.
Do you want to know what I saw today? You’re never going to believe it. It was just sad.
A rose made out of panties.
This is not the interesting part of my day by the way. This is just the random part of it that popped into my head when I started typing.
Now I’m not completely naive. I understand that there is obviously a huuuge market for those things.
Really.
What girl wouldn’t want one?
What shocked me about it, was that they were being sold at the cash register of the local convenient store.
The one where I have take my children in with me to get stuff.
My children.
Half of whom, are still in the if~you~can~get~it~in~your~grabby~little~hands~then~it~must~go~into~your~mouth phase.
It doesn’t always make it to the mouth though.
On a good day.
Which today was.
But those hands are really .. grabby. And quick.
My children.
Who ask questions about everything. everything!
And not quietly either. Not even a little bit.
It’s like they have a rule or something.
Must…ask…embarrassing…questions…as…loudly….as…humanly…possible.
But only with an audience.
The bigger the audience, the louder the voice.
Like they’re taking a poll or something.
Ya think they’re checking my answers?
Maybe I should rethink this homeschooling thing.
They might be learning too much.
Isn’t there another rule out there somewhere that say mommy’s always right?
Atleast when it comes to the little *Things.
If not, we should definently get one of those.
That could be useful.
Anyway, the above combination of Things, convenient store counter paraphanelia & other people within hearing range is just not a good mix.
How is it a *convenient store if I still have to go to cvs?

- YESSS ! I have accomplished my goal of being the first person to comment your blog ! go me :]
That is quite funny cause your kids do ask rather embarrassing questions with really loud voices !!
But i love them … and this blog made me laugh .
- Hey, thanks for the great bridal shower gift idea. I could give my sister a dozen pantie roses ~ you think I’m kidding don’t you? Only halfway. It could be cute, I could do a little mix of colors and can picture her face when she realizes what they’re made out of. Hmmm….I’m sure they’re pretty cheap at the convenient store counter – so it could at least be part of the gift. At my daughters baby shower they made little rose centerpieces out of baby socks. It was very cute.
- P.S. God’s grace for your family as you are moving. I hope things go smoothly for you all. Glad you made it onto the blog again.
- My little ones do the same thing. It can be *so* embarrassing. But of course I don’t have to tell *you* that.
I try to just stay away from convenience stores if possible. The check-out counters are so full of smut. Check out the half naked bods on the magazine covers while you’re checking out your merchandise … yuck!

- A rose made out of panties, huh? Well, that is just…um…???…convenient, I guess! A little strange, in my opinion–but convenient. As for your children’s embarrassing questions in loud voices? My 5-year-old granddaughter is the Princess of Loud and Embarrassing. So I always give a sympathy smile to the Mom when I hear it happening! It really is kinda cute and funny to those of us who are overhearing it!
- Why is it that our kids feel the need to say or ask the most embarrasing things loud and in front of the whole world. For instance my daughter will say “Mama I have to go poop.” Gotta love them.
- HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! OH! ROFLOL! Sorry I missed that little flower… and I CAN’T BELIEVE you think I have ANYTHING worthwhile to say!
I am thinking about your move though, and YUCK! I hate the act of moving. I love the *adventurous* feeling of being somewhere new though, and I especially would be thrilled by starting out with clean corners. (((((HUGS))))) sandi~still so excited that you linked to me! WOW! I feel FAMOUS! LOL!
- LOL–I think I was behind you in line at that convenience store! But my kids decided to pick that rose up and pull of the “petals” HMMM…perhaps they should move those things under their counters and make people ask for them if they wish to purchase them. Have a great day!
- Hey girlie! Well it does sound like you’ve had an interesting day. Well, I was just now able to get back on my blog. It was like God was saying, “No, you have too much other stuff to do” Well, He IS ALWAYS right! Anyway, it let me back on today…so here I am! Well, I am praying for you guys as you make your big move! Hope everything goes smoothly! You are coming to OOOOOOklahoma right? Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains….!? Just hoping. Well, catch ya later!

- I would so NOT want to meet the person who buys that! (Unless it is for a wedding shower, that is kind of funny!)
I always cringe when the checkout person is either a short-haired woman or a long-haired man, because my 4 year old will always ask,very loudly “Mommy, is that a boy or a girl?” I’ve started whispering to her, ” It’s a girl/boy” before we even get to them.
PS I don’t remember how I found your blog, but it’s great!
- LOL ya’ll crack me up!
I’m relieved to hear it’s not just mine!
Becca~ That IS so funny! I’m not sure if they come in other colors at *other locations, but these were all in a lovely shade of street~walker~red. If you do give this gift that keeps on giving, please take a picture of her reaction:)
& ty for the *prayers.
I hear ya Diane~ there is a certain drive thru store that I no longer drive thru b/c there are “half naked beer ladies” (you know those stand up cardboard people) that my children are disturbingly fascinated by.
Kim~ I think it …strange too. lol. I’m glad there are people like you listening and not just the ones who are thinking ” what is this woman teaching her kids????”
LOL @ Jesse’s daughter. You definently gotta love them.
Sandi~ it was prettyful you should have seen it;) I am SO looking forward to those clean corners.
You are just too much. (((hugs back at ya)))
tegdirb92~ was that you??? ROFL. I agree there’s gotta be a better place for those.
Charity~ i was wondering where you were! lol. Happy to hear everything is good. Thanks for all of the prayers.
singforhim~ that is too funny. Good lookin out answering before they ask. lol. & thanks. I’m glad you *found me:)
Brit~ You’re a trip girlie. GO you!
I’ve been trying this new thing lately. Being quiet. Think before I speak, if you will. I know. I should already know how to do this. I’m sure I’ve learned this before at some point in my life. But I just don’t think the lesson took. Obviously. Or I woudn’t be *practicing the art of keeping my mouth shut. Right now. Probably at this very moment.
And ya know what??? It’s freakin HARD to do sometimes. *Especially when I think I’m right. Or righteous. Since I’ve been keeping my thoughts to myself, they’re overloading my brain. I barely have time to register 1 thought before the next one comes popping along, rudely interrupting like there was nothing there already.
So guess what? It’s your lucky day! If you like random, unorganized, momble jomble. I won’t be offended if you don’t. Really. Not even a little bit. That does mean that it’s not~so~much your lucky day. But these thoughts have to go somewhere. So..either way, here’s some random truthiness.
- If you’ve never been here before, you might not know that I’m a compulsive listmaker.
- Unless it’s just that obvious.
- I think I’ve finally figured out why I like lists SO much.
- They surface clean my brain.
- & they somehow make even the utterest of chaos look neat & organized.
- You know how I feel about surface cleaning.
- In a perfect world, if I made a list of every single piece of clothing my children have gotten dirty this week if it would *magically clean itself.
- Have ya noticed it’s not a perfect world?
- Guess that means I should get on that laundry a little quicker.
- So I’ll save that list for another day.
- I know.
- It’s devestating.
- I know you’re tearing up right now at just the mere thought of not seeing that list.
- Me too.
- You should be careful what you name your children.
- Has anyone ever told you that your child’s name determines what kind of person they will be.
- They lied.
- My sister wanted to name her youngest daughter Harley.
- I don’t know why.
- My mom (hers too) told her she would be a hellion with a name like that.
- So they named her Rebecca Lynn.
- Such a sweet name.
- Thing 2 cracks me up.
- I think it’s because she’s ALOT like me.
- I tend to crack me up too.
- Someone has to amuse me.
- It might as well be myself.
- Thing 1 *9b did something earlier.
- I don’t remember what.
- But I said ‘ Thing 1 I don’t find that humorous at ALL.’
- Thing 2 *6g ~ in her little girl princess~like little~girl~way ~ says
- ‘Not even a little bit!’
- Do you consider yourself a quiverful mom?
- I do.
- As far as quivers go, mine feels pretty full sometimes.
- But I like the organized chaos of it.
- What I did not know was that there is an entire MOVEMENT.
- What exactly is the movement for?
- And where is it going?
- Why do we take 1 little part of what we are supposed to be about
- and let that define us.
- Why are we so intent on trying to make our mark on the world
- that we forget to leave his imprint in the world.
- I had a conversation once.
- I’ve had a conversation more than once.
- But I had this *particular conversation once
- A girl I had just met was asking me what I do.
- As in, for a living.
- When I told her I was a sahm of 5
- and a homeschooler
- she got this really confused look on her face
- And asked if she could ask me a personal question
- Sure.
- why not.
- we’re used to it right?
- But then she proceeded to ask
- somewhat bashfully and embarrassed,
- ‘How do you give them all a bath? I mean, how does that work?’
- I promise.
- That is what she asked me.
- And just when I thought I’d heard it all
Okay, for those of you who actually made it through that list and are still reading waaay down here, I know you’ve had your Most~bizzare~thing~I’ve~ever~heard & the~absolute~last~thing~I~expected~to~hear Moments. GO post about it right now and then leave me a comment so I can go read it.
I really can’t believe you’re still here. Amazed really. Even the biggest Thing of them all glanced over and said ‘uh baby, that’s a really looong list. And he KNOWS I’m all about the list. So, umm.. great job! You deserve some kind of reward for that endurance. Let me see what I can find for ya.
