Garage sale shamage sale

I guess we live in a different clientel here in mobile ROFL. The kids stuff NODDA. No takers. Everyone that came up wanted baby baby clothes or had boys. but all my old country decor .... was like gold. AMAZING that stuff is WAYYYY out of style the little girls clothes were high dollar name brands and were priced right play clothes for a quarter... onesies etc... EVERYone had boys. I was like OOOOK! so.... we are going to try again in a few weeks when I get back from great american. We didnt make enough to pay nuthin' but I will pay what I can and I guess the old saying You cant get blood from a turnip will have to do. We are all exhausted and we have the 2 year olds for Sunday School tomorrow (eeek) scary.... I hope Great American Goes better!!!

bye bye Barbie Jeep

Well, WE TRIED and tried we almost saught therapy BUT Bella is TERRIFIED of the barbie Jeep! I got 2 pictures of her on it at her birthday party smiling... THeN tragedy struck. Little girl sitting on it with her hit the gas or shall we say GO PEDAL.. and sent them sailing through the yard. Bella has been traumatised ever since. WE tried everything to get her to ride it. SHe calls it BAD jeep Scary jeep and screams if we try to get her to ride it. She walks by it and just says "Jeep scare me" HOW horrible her little images in her head must be. I feel so sorry for her and feel so guilty and bad for trying to make her face her fear and ride it. I guess she is just still too young. The sweet lady that sold it to us. Well I had not paid for it completely yet, Said she has someone else that wants it so she is coming to get it tomorrow. IN HOPES Bella would change her mind and say NO BELLA JEEP I told her Mrs Kim was gonna come get it she said OK NO more bella scary jeep YEAH!!!!! I was shocked and was like OOOOK! Sooo, we are saying bye bye to Jeep. We won't go there again for a long time. IT is so hard to tell with parenting what a good decision and a bad decision is. I thought wow what a good deal and Kim was so sweet to let us do this for her birthday and then let me pay her after the garage sale. Was also very sweet to take it back. (I was gonna just sell it or eat the cost with lesson learned you never know about kids and save it till she is older) So that was very nice of her to offer to take it back since she knows someone else that wants it. I pray that child doesnt find it scary. She is still content with her FOOT pedaled car for now and hey the excercise is good for her lol. SO much for the great bargain. My hubby says he feels safer with her not behind the wheel just yet hahahaa. Another scary thing for mommy and daddy ... Bella growing up!

which feet are your "fwip fwops" on?

what is cuter than little feet in flip flops that just happen to be on the wrong feet? The reply I got when I told Bella her flips flops were on the wrong feet. THe conversation went something like this: Mommy: Bella do you know you have your flips flops on the wrong feet? Bella: Huh? Fwip Fwops on wong peet? Mommy: Yeah your flip flops are on the wrong feet. Bella::: looking COMPLETELY ANNOYED:: ugh ughnnn fwip fwops on Bedda's peet!!!!

Can you say AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ms paper arts closing :(

WELL I don't believe it BUT I KNOW it must happen IM sad but Im happy IM mixed in emotion. Mississippi paper arts.. the physical store is going out of business.... I knew it was going to happen. SHe is pregnant and going through alot right now and she just can't do it all. SHe wants to focus on the web business and make the web site rockin and get the store hoppin'. I support her completely. Plus she needs to be home with her kids and the new baby coming. The dr is putting her on bed rest and it is hard to run a store from a bed behind the register. IF I didnt live in Alabama I would run it for her. Heck I even thought of buying it myself but I know physically I just cannot do it. My health goes through goods and bads and I know the stress and I DONTWANNA. SOOoooooOOooooooo.... IM gonna do her last blast crop for her. I have to be up there anyway with all the family stuff that has been happening (and what else do I have to do these days) Bella and I are leaving in the morning. We have to help carrie with some stuff anyway so why not let the grammas REVEL in their joy of seeing the grandbaby and me stay out of their hair and at my one true love. Mspaperarts. YES her online store is gonna stay open and YES she will still do conventions and YES the online site will still be rockin as usual. JUSt there wont be a physical store anymore. SO YOU MIGHT wanna check out her site she has SOOOO MUCH STUFF marked down IT IS INCREDIBLE! check it out at www.mspaperarts.com just tell em nancy sent ya ;)

How could you not just love this face! WE were all set for church she says TAKED MY PITTFUR mommmeeeee! SO of course I coudlnt resist that! THis is just one shot BUT I LOVE how her little nose wrinkles when she is giggling. Nothing sweeter than little girls in pretty dresses with bows in their hair and pearls.

creating the monster.. or at least contributing

have I created a monster or what... I was going to take pictures of her helping me set out our tomatoes when she said her infamous like "bella be wight back" that can never be good. Instead she comes back with HER camera. Its a princess camera doesnt take real pictures but we can pretend right? I laughed my heart out at how stinkin cute she was squatting down like I do to get on her level and take pictures. and her UNMATCHING CLothes were the perfect touch because they were all her favorites.... for that day anyway. SHE LOVES those flip flops. Wants to wear them with everything. I jut cant help at grinning at these photos and cannot wait for the page to come. I forgot we have "last chance" photos for the church directory today (grrrrrrr) lovely after having shingles WOnder If I could just wear a bagover my head and body.... gotta go find something that fits. cant they just draw in circles and stick figures and sayit is us... we know what we look like. sigh...... now the hunt begins..w hat to wear. this ought to be fun.

Thats Nancy WITH A Jones

Thats Nancy WITH A Jones SO what do you do... You have a death in the family... people act crazy.. You know you need to go in your heart you feel you need to pay your respects but... obstacles are in the way. I know he is right, my husband.. and my best interest is in his view. IT will be a huge "jerry springer episode". BUT what do you do. DO you sit here and feel the guilt they are throwing on you or do you stay busy. DO you find stuff to do. DO you try to play with your child to keep your mind off it. I have a dr apt. on monday (I forgot) with the rheumatologist. We have been waiting for this to get in. Every time i get upset.. hubby gets mad.. YOU have test to run monday DO you want to be like it was. IM SO sick of hearing how if I get upset or if something happens Im gonna get sick. YES I KNOW IT is true but how do you not be. Life is changing. Again.... I know if I get sick the things IM looking forward to wont get to happen. BUt this is family. How do you not Be there for family. I wasnt brought up that way. BUt I KNOW I KNOW alot has happend with family. SO much around this doesnt make sense. SO much around this is is weird (why do you send a picture of the car, I mean come on guilt me for not coming? or can I be takign it wrong and it just be their weird sense of dealing ) All I know is dont call me in the middle of the night with this. IM sorry its happening, but everyone cant deal with things the same way. I cannot go alone. I wont. Dont ya think we have dealt with enough! The whole situation is bad. I realise that and Im so sorry for them. I mourn her. Im gonna miss her. BUt I will make my peace with her. I will visit.. next week. I wont be by myself then. I don't deal with death. IT is impossible. My husband understands that he is here for the nightmares since daddy got killed. WHY cant they see that. IM sorry for being selfish on this one. BUT I will come just not today. I can't I cant deal with it. SO I will stay busy. I want to go I feel their pain BUT I just can't not alone. I will be there all the rest of next week but then I wont be alone.

Altered therapy

I made this box.. well I literally didnt MAKE the box it came from Hobby lobby but I altered it and the frame... the box, dont laugh was to put on the back of my toilet to hold well certain PERSONAL items a woman needs sometimes. I thought what a pretty way to hide such a thing. and the frame I had some paper left over and it was there so I said why not! Part of my altered therapy. Nothing gets you through difficult times like imagination and some paint and well a box. NOW I want to repaint the bathroom to match the box.... Reckon my hubby will go for that? Love you honey ::fluttering eyelashes::
