Brings me a LOT of thoughts

Okay, so we all know my head doesn't quite work right the majority of the time, this blog will back up that idea we all know to be true!
I love Taylor Swift and Angie (my G), Angie loves "period" pieces. I love "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. The video to "Love Story" is a "period" video. When I hear this song I think of G because I think about the video.......
Well, let's all now confirm, yep, my mind is an absurd, twisted, confused little thing!

Hello, it's me again, the girl OBSESSED with music! Now that I have found a much easier way to add videos to my blog (thanks G) I plan on adding songs I love on a regular basis. Also, small updates of late...... but for now, here's today song!










My favorite prayer has always been the Serenity Prayer. I have numerous items with it on them, but today I found the item that takes the cake! I saw a cuff bracelet in the Pennys ad today, and I can happily report that as I type tonight it IS on my right wrist! Yay, for bracelets, yay for 60% off bracelets, and yay for me!





Welp, that's about it for now, it's getting late! I hope everyone has an outstanding week! MUAH!

A little (BIG) something to think about......


Okay, so with very much trial, and even more error.... I finally am able to post this video! I have been listening, I mean really listening, to the words to this song for a while now. I have challenged myself to try my best at all times to really follow the idea behind this whole song, and I am happy to report that I've done a pretty decent job! I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!

Productivity

So, yesterday I not only got my car serviced at 8am, but was back home by 9 with paint samples from the hardware store. I picked out the colors I wanted to accent with this color which I had already decided on. It's called Hodley Red and is from the Historical Colors line by Benjamin Moore. This is the color that our Oak Express began being painted this week and I fell in love with it.

I decided on the accent color after about three hours of deliberation, and the winner was........
Sweet Butter by Benjamin Moore. I painted my kitchen walls that join the hallway, and the entire hallway this color. It looks really good! You could probably tell a little better if I actually knew how to use my camera, but for now this is what ya get....

I also got a package from UPS while I was painting... my new planner cover was in it, YAY! See, I am not an avid, diehard planner user, BUT if I switch it up every so often then I am likely to use it. I have had my planner since 2001, and to date I have roughly 10 different covers that I have bought...... all just to keep my interest sparked! I love, love, love that this planner has a really cute interior fabric, and added bonus, proceeds from the purchase go towards breast cancer research. It's from Franklin Covey's "Gals" line, and all of the pieces are not only trendy, but they give something back, I think that's important!
All in all it was a good, get a lot done, kind of day. As for today, yeah, not so much!

Things have changed, her love remains the same

Well, a LOT has happened since my last update... more than I am even going to dive into tonight. I promise updates will arrive, just a little (LOT) too tired to think, let alone divulge info. Even though a lot has wavered in the past little while, Caliope's LOVE (described by some as obsession) has not changed. This cat is absolutely crazy about me! I am one lucky human, if I do say so myself! ; )

This pic shows exactly what she does any and EVERY time anything of mine is left down, dropped, forgotten, or anywhere within her reach. She MUST lay on it, breathe me in, and sleep. Tonight I returned home for only long enough to change clothes and leave. Let it be stated that the act of "quick comings and goings" is nothing short of unacceptable to her. She cries by the door, I cry sometimes too.... only if I forgot to pick up my Zoloft that morning. This evening was no different. When I returned home I came in, picked her up, consoled, cooed, talked to her like a human, rubbed, brushed, and nuzzled her. Sat her down. Took off my coat. Layed coat on bed. As for the rest, see for yourself............
Breathe it in folks, savor it, yep, that's the smell of Lynn's coat! Soon to hit the market in Eau De Tiolette spray!

On hiatus, a sabatical, a break... you know

So, I am officailly on a "break" from work. Not like a day or two off, but an actual break. No phone calls, no e-mails, no bugging Lynnie for three and a half whole days.

See, I had what many in the medical world would call a "meltdown" on Sunday of this past week. My little disaster resulted in me arriving at my store on my day off to hand in my keys, pack my stuff, and say my goodbyes. I did two of the three, but even the two were only partial, leave it to me to not have any follow-thru! I am/was at my wits end. Everything in me was boiling over. I wanted to never come back. I was scared but ready. I was/am insane. I was talked out of it.

I relenquished my angst when I tt a very near dear friend of mine, my sweet loving Angie. She, being my voice of reason, level-headed, think it thru friend, set me straight. She told me to tt my boss and tell him how I feel, which is just what I did for a very long phone call on Monday morning. I said things that were hard to say, and heard things I needed to hear. None of it was easy, but from my experience, most things in life worth having aren't easy.

All in all I still don't know if I will want to go back in on Friday, but the one thing I do know...

From being a part of the company for the years I have, I have gained a lot of things. A sense of responsibility, accomplishment, pride, and the occasional feeling of anger. More importantly I have gained SOMEONE thru this company that I would otherwise never know. She is the one who isn't afraid to tell me the hard things even when she knows I'm gonna cry. She's the one who gave me the little ring from the lost and found (reference pic below, this ring is STILL on my work key chain) and placed it on my pinky at the end of one crappy day and promised me it would get better. She's the one who calls me her "Sweet Dynn Lailey." She's the one who can make me smile from far away. She is my Angie.


So Angie, this blogs for you, the one who keeps me sane even from thousands of miles away, the one who has an unconditional love for her sweet, yet slightly unbalanced Dynn Lailey. I love you to the moon and back G. Thanks for always being there. If blogs could be hugs this would be a big one, you know, like when you just don't wanna let go, yeah, that kind of hug!
For those who are curious, here's proof I still have my keys...... and my BlackBerry(although, it is in "off"mode) Aww, see the little ring to the bottom of the corkscrewy chain thingy, that's Angie's "promise" to me!

Tempting fate, and a GOOD day

It is currently 3:05 in the afternoon, and to this point my phone has not rang!!!!! YAY for a day OFF!!!!! Knock on wood somebody, quick!


I have had a pretty incredible day so far. Taylor and Tristin stayed the night last night, so I had fun with them. Their Momma and daddy are diehard Broncos fans, and last nights game wasn't being televised on any of the channels they get, so they went and watched at a local sports bar. Woke up this morning at 6:45 (which is far earlier than when I get up for work) to get breakfast and such ready. Woke the kiddos at 7 and the day began. Taylor was so still wanting to sleep, but Tristin hit the ground running....... ahhh, to be 3 again! Took Taylor to school at 7:30 and Tristin and I returned home to lounge and play. Momma had a hair appt. so we were on our own 'til 1.


We had an outstanding time! We played beauty shop, Barbies, and an hour and a half long game of Hide-n-Seek! Tristin would hide in the very same place that she had just found me... EVERYTIME! It cracked me up, but I played along as if she were never going to be found she hid so well. Momma came and picked us girls up and we went to lunch at Jimmy John's, mmmm, their sandwiches are so dang good!


Now I am on my own again and the peace and quiet here is nearly deafening. I thrive with kids around, and am always sad to see them leave. Luckily for me Chase and Kady will be home in a few hours, and not so luckily for me... I have about ten loads of laundry to fill the time 'til they are home!


I am posting this pic to show just how "stay-at-home-mommy" I am today!
Let it be noted, I did shower! Let us all now notice.... I have on zero makeup, only moisturizer.... my hair is in a ponytail, with serious fly-aways due to not using any hairspray (no time for such luxuries when you have a serious game of H-&-S going on!) and lastly, I am sporting a hoodie! Moms, and wanna-be-moms (ie, ... ME) of the world, I salute you AND your attire!

A bad thing turned good, or did it....

Have you ever had one of those days where you really begin to question why you do what you do? I know we all have, and boy, that was so me today. Today I seriously considered (like sat in the parking lot and cried I was so dang near ready to do it) handing in my keys. Things at work have really sucked for a long while now just due to various reasons.... too many to go into here. Today I had a million and seventy seven phone calls, all valid. I had to go to the store twice, mind you it WAS my day off, again, the trips were valid. I can truly say I don't like spending an hour (total) driving back and forth from home to my store on my day off. I can also truly say, that because of the crappy day I was having at work (on my day OFF! Ughhh...) I had something brought to my attention that made me smile. Proof that their always is a sliver lining I suppose :)

I pretty well flew off the handle when I got a phone call that meant I had to go back to the store for round two. I raised my voice, stated my opinion, and cussed. All the while none of these actions were making me feel any better, all they did was make me wish a had 100mg of Zoloft in me instead of only a mere 50mg as prescribed. As I drove to the store I balled, like full on tears, snot running down your divet crying. I told myself I was done, I have had enough of never being off, always having to have my phone, and always being on edge, I was done! I would be lying to say I don't quite possibly still think that is the best option, but as of now..... I still have my keys.

I walked in the store, Collin greeted me with the best words I had heard all day. "Wow, I know you are mad cause you cussed, and you never cuss!" I smiled the cheesiest grin and just nodded. It was right then and there that I realized this......
I have worked with Collin for a little over 6 months, I have had a few too many within him on one occasion, I have had "out of store" situations with him more times than I can count, I have worked several days where it is only he and I there, and in all these times he hasn't heard me curse!

Some habits die hard, but for me this has been one of the hardest. I grew up in a home where I knew what I could and couldn't repeat, I also knew that my Momma could, and can put any sailor to shame! I had always not liked my mouth, but it was a part of my vocab and would slip out quite a bit. Now I am pleased to say I have gotten it to only when I am furious that those words creep back, and luckily for me I only get mad about twice a year! So yay me!

Next battle......
How do I deal with the fact that my job brings out the worst in me........... But I still have my keys for now!

Blurb for today

Well not a whole lot going on, but I thought I would post a little bit of some randoms from the day, if for no other reason... it gives you something to read, right Connie??? LOL!

"Dip" day proved to be an outstanding idea for this weeks carry in at work. Mmmm, I now wonder what we will come up with for next Saturday. I def had more than my fair share of Ruffles and French Onion.... ahhhh! I sold not so much at all today, which has also been the case for the past few weeks. I am REALLY hoping things pick back up at work, the 'ole pocketbook hopes so too. Maybe after the election? Okay, enough on that.... I feel my depression growing!

I joined Facebook this week. I am now back in contact with so many people who don't have a MySpace page. Apparently their is some unwritten "loyalty" clause that says, "One who has Facebook, shall not have MySpace." Alas, the eleventh commandment. I am SO breaking it though! I LOVE my MySpace page!

Speaking of commandments, I bought new book tabs for one of my Bibles that I hadn't tabbed yet. Now all of my Bibles are tabbed for my ease of finding! Yay for the small things that make life easier. Have you ever wondered why the front of most all Bibles say "Holy Bible?" Am I missing something? Is their an "Unholy Bible?"
While at the Bible Bookstore I also purchased the newest Addison Road album. It is self titled, and I love ALL of the songs on it, but this one is my fave! Enjoy!

PS, Enjoy the extra hour of sleep this evening, I know I will! :)

What's left.....


way too much! I only had two kids, and both of them I knew were coming, so they had their very own little buckets that I had made them. So, now I have this huge bowl of candy left! Although the bowl did have a few more of these.....


but I do dearly love Nerds, so now my gut has a LOT of these crunchy, delicious, little devils in it!
Tomorrow is "dip" day at the F-Row. I am making a pumpkin dip that consists of one block of cream cheese, 2Tbsp. of Vanilla, one can of Pumpkin, and half a tub of Cool Whip. To dip I am taking Graham Cracker sticks. Mmmmm, is it tomorrow yet? I was sad cause last week was "Taco" day, and I was in Columbia... NOT having tacos!
Welp, better go for now, as today is the end of my weekend, and my Monday morning awaits me, as does my bed! Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

Life can be "funny"

I write this blog, not to update anyone, but to maybe have us all take a minute to think about all we "have" and don't.
A close friend of mine has just informed me that within the last week they were hospitalized due to an anxiety attack. I feel very certain this issue has been the result of all the other "not well handled" events in their life. This person has taught me a lot over the years, and again today I am blown away by their strength thru this storm. See, this guy is one of those who wished for something, got it, and it has actually been one of the worst moves in regard to his career and financial stability. He regularly tells me he regrets moving for financial reasons, and also can't really "stomach" his new leadership well eother, but really enjoys being near family, and that's what really matters. Now this person is being evicted from their home, moving in w family, and his only comment, "we're okay through it." That comment absolutely blew me away, how could you be so drained that you land yourself in the hospital, hate your current career position, regret your recent move across the country, AND get evicted... all of that to still be okay????? I'll tell you why he can still be okay, he has faith and trust that the Lord has him on this path for a reason. Clearly not a reason he or his family can probably decipher at the current moment, but still, he knows and trusts.
I ask myself this question a LOT, "Do I have COMPLETE trust in the Lord? I always answer "Yes." Times like this make me question so very much about myself. Do I truly have ALL my faith in him. If so, I will not doubt on occassion? Am I really walking WITH the Lord, or am I several steps behind? Would my dis-position still be sunny if I was failing financially, losing my home, and being hospitalized? I regret to say that I can't honestly answer "Yes" to all of these questions. So, to my next question.... Can you? I'm not meaning to be nosy, you don't really have to write back, but really just think about it. I have, and I am ashamed to admit my answers. I have been there, the financial windfall, the NEEDING to move, the anxiety attacks....... biggest difference with me versus my friend. When these things happened to me.... I became so depressed I could barely muster the strength to get out of bed, my way of saving cash was to quit my tithe, and I suddenly didn't have "time" for church.
I pray today not only for my friend who is struggling, but oddly, I pray to be like my friend who is struggling. If he can "struggle" the way he does and still be who he is, then yeah, I want to be that person. Strong, faithful, caring, and most importantly, 100% trusting the Lord. My, what a "struggle" to take part in!
Just a little "food for thought" today.... don't worry, I'll be goofy and not so serious again..... prolly even within the hour!! :)

A lazy, rainy, napping kind of day

I was off of work today in preparation of my trip to Columbia tomorrow. I will admit, I HAD high hopes of getting a million things done today, but all of those hopes quickly vanished when I awoke at 8 and realized it was thundering. Almost immediately I knew that if rain was the forecast then being horizontal instead of vertical would be my stance of the day..... and it was! I watched more TV today than I have in months. Started my morning with The Golden Girls, The View, and Young and The Restless. Decided at noon after all my vigorous TV watching I had better rest, so I napped 'til 2pm. Awoke and realized I was still in my pajamas......... thought seriously for about two seconds about getting dressed. Called all my gals in Indiana and chatted for a bit. Received a phone call while I was chatting w Indiana girl #1 that a co-workers little boy wanted to come sell me candy bars for his school fundraiser. Again, realized I was in pajamas, let IN girl know I would need to go and dress myself, ughhh! Bought candy bars, and conversed with the co-workers as if I had been up and around ALL day! (LIAR!) Went to visit Pam, Chase, and Kady. Gained new found self confidence when I realized they were all still in pajamas! YAY, it's not just me who doesn't get dressed on cold, rainy days!

Ya gotta work for it...

Yeah, not sure what I did, but... their IS a blog with the other post from tonite, ya just have to scroll to get it! Woops, sorry folks!

Yeah, so, it's been a while...





































It was very kindly brought to my attention that I haven't blogged in, oh, we'll say... forever! Here I am again. Somehow I quickly fell victim to NOT being on vacation, and then my ability to sit at the 'ole computer diminished. I have had a lot happen since my last blog, but more importantly...... I bought my house this spring, and for months I have been promising pics, so, this blog will provide those all so long ago promised snapshots of my TINY house!

Here we go...
This is my spare bedroom. This room was all decked out in ladybugs until just recently. I changed it to a bit more of a "non-pedophilic" state, as I was told by the adoption counselor that "Looking too eager may not sit well during your home visit Miss Dailey." Although we all know the ladybugs have zero to due with my urge for children, I just felt it easier to redecorate! Notice that my first born sweetly poses on the bed for your viewing pleasure! I love that cat so much!!! As you can see I only moved my array of many "too eager" accessories to the hutch of my computer desk. OKAY, so seriously... who in their right mind puts the fuse box in the middle of a flippin bedroom wall???? Ughhhh......
This is my master bathroom. I wanted to do something there that was kind of not me... does that make any sense? I wanted to do something I liked, but wouldn't typically have. The walls are slate grey. (which would be easier to tell if I had even the slightest clue how to correctly use my freaking camera?) The accents are red and black, and all the plate covers and towel holders are chrome. I absolutely love it!!! The whole idea came from the pic's (shown above) that I saw in the Home Interior catalog this summer. I thought they were way over priced ($40 for two 8x10 pics... for a bathroom, uhmmm, NO!) I mentioned that I liked them to my friend Pam, and low and behold a few weeks later, I was the happy recipient of these pics as a "thank you" present! Yay me, and thank you Pam!




Obviuosly, this is my living room. I am most proud of it because it is the ONLY area of my house that I can say is complete(besides master bath, which noone but me ever sees?). I am aware that one of the pics I posted twice, but if you knew how dang hard it was for me to even get pics here, then you would understand why I am not trying to figure out how to remove one! The wall that my sofa is on, as well as the entry alcove are a different color than the other three walls. (you can really tell this in pic three) Cheesy, I know, but I had to shut my blinds so everyone could enjoy! I swore for years, 'When I have my own house I so will not have cheapy plastic mini blinds! Ughhh, I hate those things!" Praise God, Lynnie has wood, 2' slat, beautiful, non cheap blinds! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!



Yep, that's my rarely ever used kitchen. I don't really like kitchens, but my house came with one, go figure? My favorite thing about my kitchen, the oak table. I got the table and all four chairs for $175ish! That is a steal! It's good to work at a furniture store!!! Also, my table serves me well by holding up doilies, candles, and the occasional Longaberger basket. One day I will cook.....
I took that last kitchen pic to put into persective just how small my house is. I am on the "other side" of the kitchen... notice how you can still see ALL of the living room! Awww, there's Cali cat again too! She's a sneaky one I tell ya!
Well, sorry to say that's all ya get for now. I am tired, and this whole technology thing really takes me forever! That's half of my humble home, and hopefully within the next six months I can post the other half. I really love my house, and just wish I had more time to do things to it. It is a very cozy place and it always smells good, kinda like somethings baking, and always pumpkiney or appley. I am old at heart and have a lot of flowers and doilies...... People laugh if you will, but everyone says their is just someting about my house that feels like a home, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Finished flooring



So I am officially the proud homeowner who has Laminate wood flooring in the entryway. It absolutely amazes me the things that can really fascinate you that never before would have even remotely interested you. That is so me with this whole own your own home thing! I am ALWAYS looking for the "next project" before the current one is hardly done. We'll see what tomorrow brings, maybe a spare room re-do?! Who knows, some people say the world is their oyster, but for me... I don't need the whole world, I am happy for my oyster to be a 1,000 sq. ft. house that is beginning to look and feel like I live in it! BTW, obviously, even after the "no bra incident" of the afternoon, Kris came back! Yay for good neighbors!!!

Twelve cents never tasted so good





Okay, so day two.



Awoke at a much more respectable hour today, 8:30am. I am feeling pretty good about being vertical prior to lunch time today! Haven't really gotten a whole lot done, but hey, vacation... hello! Currently I am still in my pj's, and it is 4:30 in the afternoon! Have I no shame? Yes, actually I do! I realized that when a knock came from my front door at 3pm. Lots of thoughts came rushing thru my head, amny of which would require way too much profanity to list here. I crack the door to find Kris, my neighbor, father of aforementioned children and owner of the neighborhood golf cart. He has been "in the process" of putting new laminate wood flooring in my entry, and today was continuing that process by removing all my trim. So, we have officially crossed a new threshold in our relationship, the one where he now knows that while I am on vacation I can be found mid-afternoon in pj's with my hair pulled in a ponytail, and worse yet.... braless!!! At this point their is a good chance he may never come back to finish my flooring!!!



$.12, how can it be sooo good?



I made Chicken Ramen Noodles for lunch, and I only have one other thing to say about that. How in the heck can a $.12 meal taste so damn good?

Monday September 29, 2008

Okay, so nmothing says vacation like not having to wake up early in the morning to be any specific place at any specific time.... Yep, I am so on vacation. This morning mt alarm went off at 7:30 (forgot to turn it off b4 bed) and i immediately thought, "Oh no, not happening!" as I turned over, hit snooze, and curled back up in the covers. Then, what felt like a couple minutes had turned into a few hours. My eyes popped open, and I immediately felt confused, I looked at my watch to see the hands telling me I had slept til freaking 10:55. WHAT, seriously, who sleeps that late who isn't one of a few things.... 1. Lazy 2. Hungover 3. Teenaged I sat up in bed, and like every morning, immediately reached for my BlackBerry. Yep, red light flashing! I read my first e-mail which is timed to me at 9:40am I read a lunch and errand running invite, and instantly think, "Hmmm, if this is from over two hours ago, yep, good chance this has all already happened." Keep in mind this invite is from a mother of two, who in the last almost three years hasn't slept a full night, and in the past 4 weeks hasn't slept for more than 45 minute intervals. She is the proud mama of a boy who requires no sleep, and a newborn who has a strong need for her mommas breast about every two hours. So, you can imagine, it's a bit hard to tell this sleep deprived soul that you just slept til 11 in the morning. I choose to go ahead and admit to her that I have just woke up, and would love to go with her if the offer still is open. She lets me know we will be leaving in about 45 minutes, and kindly also types in her responce, "Loser. You suck."
I rush to get ready, cut my ankle bone shaving, bleed profusely, get shampoo in my right eye, (still bleeding), realize I don't have hair on my ankle bone to have needed shaving..... still bleeding. Get dressed, all the while trying to not bleed everywhere, putting little bits of toilet paper on my ankle like a man would who nicks his nostril shaving. Get across the street to the invitees house, where upon entering Chase immediately zeros in on my bloody, tp covered ankle, and aaks me, like only a 2yo can, "Jew git bit Lyionn?" (Loosely translated to "Did you get bit Lynn?") To which I respond, "No buddy, Lynn cut herself shaving." 2yo rebutal "Jew shouldnd do zat Lyionn." Who knew, all the answers I had been looking for, they are all right there with my 2yo neighbor boy... You shouldn't do that Lynn! Well duh!
Lunch time at McAlisters....
As always, so super good! The McAlisters here only opened a week ago, and I am happy to report I ALREADY have an entire "Tea Club" card punched, so on my next visit the tea's on them! Look down while eating and realize I still am sporting the bloody tp on my ankle, nice!!
Walmart
I don't really NEED anything, but as we all know, it is Walmart, so you will leave buying something. My purchases, a bag of shredded mild cheddar and a bag of Skittles. Hello, can I be anymore random???
So, this is a rundown of day one of vaca. Look for more fun stuff tomorrow.... hopefully with a LOT less blood!

The past few days

So, I have slacked and not been on here in a bit, but I'm back! Finished out my work week last night, so today was my first official day of vacation. So far I have done nothing successfully, and loved each and every minute of doing nothing! That is not entirely true... Last night Shawn and Angela dropped the girls off to stay the night with good ole Lynnie. We had a blast right from the start. Pam, Chase, Kadence, Taylor, Tristin, and I all piled in the golfcart and headed to the park. Now, mind you, we put the bigger kids, T and T, in the back and belted them in with the golf bag straps while they stood, Pam drove, Chase sat in the middle, and I held Kady while she suckled oh so vigorously on her newly warmed up bottle of her wonderful mothers breast milk! We seriously looked like the freakin Clampets, kids strapped in (literally!), newborn infants nursing, and two fairly "normal" looking white gals all out on a Saturday night riding around on a golf cart! Also, you must remember that when we get to the park we are like the total talk of the neighborhood kids, cause, oh yeah, we arrive in a golf cart.... All the other "well to do" people in their mini-vans and SUV's, oh no, we are so too cool for that, us, we rock the cart!!! While playing Taylor calmly looks at me and says "Did Mom tell you we haven't eaten yet? Cause we haven't." Okay, so now let me get this right, you were dropped off to me at 7:30 and still hadn't had dinner, and now you tell me this at 8:30, great! So, we all pile back in our cart and head back home and about halfway back I hear Tristin say to Taylor, "Gosh Taylor, I'm hungry, why hasn't Lynn fed us yet?" I can tell ya why kid... CAUSE LYNN DIDN'T KNOW SHE NEEDED TO!! Instead I calmly turn around, smile, and sweetly respond, "What would you girls like for supper?" Fortunately for me the responce was waffles, and oh yes, their are always Eggos in my freezer!!! "Toasted" dinner, put on pj's, and by midnite all was quiet at Lynnies house.

8:40am, I awake to the slight tappity tap of Taylors long, skinny, pointy, I should play the piano, finger on my forehead. I am so elated that it isn't like 5:45, because, ya see, she HAS done that before while staying at my house. She immediately asks, "What are we gonna do today that's fun Lynn?" Well Taylor, first off I am gonna pee, then brush my teeth, check my e-mail, and pick up the living room that you and your sister trashed in a matter of minutes last night. That sound fun? Of course I don't say any of that... I only think it. "Well, Taylor, anything you and Tristin want, how's that sound?" "Yay, I love you Lynn!" It is gonna be a good day!!!
We had strudels for breakfast, their request.
Papa Murphys for lunch, their request.
Played beauty shop with my head as if it were the Barbie doll manequin head designed to be pulled, twisted, and tugged on. (Obviously their request, cause no sane person would ask to have this done to their head!)
Went to Walgreens and bought Rogaine for women... okay, that's a lie, but I may now need to though, and that counts! At this point it is pushing ...
3pm, and I, I mean they, are needing to nap. So, we did, for three glorious hours! Have I mentioned yet how much I love vacation!
6pm, all awake again, so what do we do... We load up in the cart like the unashamed white trash we all are and go to the park. Best part of this park trip, even though their is enough room IN the cart this time, Taylor wants to ride standing in the caddy area again, and who am I to say no.... so I let her!
All in all it has been a great start to vacation!
