I feel withdrawls coming

Those of you that know me.
Well, really any of you that read this blog regularly know that I love an ice-cold coke in a can poured in a plastic or Styrofoam cup full of ice. I don't like the whole can poured in the cup, if you do that it just gets watery. So, I pour in enough coke that it doesn't get watery before I am able to drink it.

I know the exact amount and I think this out thoroughly.
As much as I love a coke when I get out of the shower I don't pour the coke in the cup until I'm out of the shower because it will get watery. I don't drink a coke when I am folding the clothes because I can't drink the coke in the cup before it gets watery while I am folding 3 load of clothes a day. 3 LOADS OF CLOTHES A DAY!!!! That could be a whole other post!

Anyway, back to the withdrawal. Our icemaker is broken. We have 2 refrigerators. One is ours and one came with the house, and the church asked that we also use it. The icemaker in our frig broke a few years ago so we have been so blessed to have an icemaker in the church's frig. Well, now we have gone and broken it. I would like to blame my oldest son, but Stephen won't let me.
So today, besides teaching my children the 3 R's, doing laundry, and watching tv. I have to transfer all the food in the church's frig and freezer to our frig. UGH! I'm not a fan of physical labor. I'm hoping I can make it a game for the kids.
And I'm going to have to do it without a can coke in a plastic cup filled with ice from my icemaker. I know, I know. I hear you, use ice trays, go to Sonic, get ice from church...
But I like my cokes the way I like my cokes. And today I will be deprived of that. And maybe more than just today.
Oh! That is a thought that I cannot deal with. I would rather think of 3 LOADS OF LAUNDRY!

I feel your pain! I am addicted to my Diet Mountain Dew, almost exactly like you are your Coke. Good Luck!

I feel your pain. I am the same way. I love my ice makers crushed ice. I have to fill my cup up with the ice and pour just the right amount or coke in the cup. I then drink the coke through a straw. My husband has learned not to throw away a styofoam cup.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
