Randomness

There are so many things I would like to blog about but have neither the time or the ability to write them out so I shall give you a list!

I love a list!

  • My sons have fingers like my Pawpaw. I love that. I love that I can remember what his fingers look like and I love that I can look at the boys fingers and think of him. He was a really, really great man. I was in 8th grade when he died, but my sister and 1 cousin were in kindergarten and another cousin wasn't a year old. They didn't get to know him like I did. I hate that for them.
  • I was at a meeting the other day and the person leading it said, " we know it do work". I laughed inside myself and wrote it down so I would remember it. It was so funny. And so sad.
  • One of my sons, the comedian of the group, was eating Cheetos the other day. He came up to me with his foot outstretched and a Cheetos stuck between his toes. He said, "look mom, a chee-toe!" Isn't that funny??
  • I know I should blog with pictures. But I am too lazy to do it. I have pictures in my head, but it is too much for me to upload them. Isn't that terrible?
  • One of my favorite bloggers is coming to my area to do a women's event for us this weekend. I am so excited to get to meet her in person and hug her sweet neck.
  • I dreamed last night about vacations. I have thought about vacation all day today. I need a vacation. I'm getting one in a couple of weeks.
  • I'm working a little part-time job. I can take the kids to work with me and they help. They really like it and so do I. I know what I do at home is important and that I'm needed, but I feel needed by other people and it feels good.
  • God is teaching me something. I don't know what yet. Have you ever had experiences where God was working around you but you didn't know what He was up to? Well, that is where I am. I'm excited and a little nervous!
  • Ok, I think I have exhausted all my random thoughts. Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment and add your random thoughts!

You sons sound like they have great personalities. It is important to have someone who can make you laugh. It is really cool that you have those special memories with your Grandpa. I know you are excited about your upcoming vacation. Good luck with your job.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

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 party has to have go
