I'll keep that in my pocket

Last night I went out to the land straight from work. Judy & Greg stopped by and got the kids on their way so I could just go on out. It took me exactly 30 minutes which is great b/c that means it won’t take any longer to get home than it does right now!
They had about ½ the interior walls done on the first floor; it was so exciting to pull in and see that. Before I left work I got on the internet and found about 6 Bible verses on dedicating a house. The kids and I and Judy wrote them on the wall studs and then we each wrote a prayer. I’m glad I thought of it because it was so fun and meaningful. Every now and then I come up with a good idea!
We stacked wood and cleaned up a bit then it was time to go home. It gets harder to leave every time!

Have you ever stumbled across one of those moments where as a parent you say to yourself “hmmm, I need to keep this in my pocket for later”?
On the way home the boys rode with Scott so it was just me and Liv in the car. I was saying something and one of the words came out with a southern twang. Liv cracked up so I kept talking that way. Before long we were both hysterical. However everything changed when we got into town. Suddenly it was “mommy, quit! Somebody’s going to hear you!” Because you know the citizens of Hamilton have bionic, hear through the car, hearing. This new development just fueled my fire and I was on a role. Liv started shrinking down in the seat as far as she could.
So between laughs I told her that she needed to remember this for the next time she’s talking back or misbehaving. Watch out or I might just bust out into Ellie May in the middle of the Wal -mart’s and embarrass you!
“Livvie Paige getcha tail back over here ‘fore I jerk a knot in your back end!”

On a totally different note……. I would just like to say that I am on my second week of “eating healthy” aka trying to lose the blubber that has taken over my mid section, thighs, and pretty much every surface of my body. Let the record show that if I weigh myself on Monday and have not lost anything …… it’s not going to be pretty people. Big girls like to eat and this has not been easy! So be on red alert people of America!
