Valentine's Day



Well, I was going to gripe and whine about Valentine's Day this year.

It started out good. Stephen gave me two books for my Kindle, actually he watched while I downloaded them. I gave him a filter for his Keurig. We laughed and smiled at each other. No kissing, because there had been no teeth brushing. I don't care what they do in the movies, but kissing before brushing is just gross!

Stephen then told me that he had to go to a senior adult revival, lunch and meetings. UGH! I didn't like it at all. I had a bit of an attitude. And when I say bit of an attitude I mean it, it wasn't that big of a deal. So, no lunch together we still had dinner.

And then he called to say hi and mentioned that he had something to do at church for the evening. This is where I had more than a bit of an attitude. I didn't fuss or yell. I just said ok and was short the rest of the conversation. Girls, you know how we can be.

He then texted me and asked me out. It was so very sweet. I told him no, and asked his forgiveness & told him to do what he had already scheduled. He then texted me and asked for forgiveness and said that he had forgotten what fun we had on valentines day.

It is our holiday. We enjoy this almost more than our anniversary. We were engaged on February 13. It's special. But after years of celebrating we don't look forward to it as much as we used to. I guess kids can do that to you too.

Oh, the kids! I made them pillowcases for Valentine's Day. No, Michelle, not like you would make pillowcases. I bought white ones and wrote on them with red fabric paint. Hokey I know, but my kids love to sleep and I think they will love laying their heads on pillowcases that remind them that mom loves them and so does God. (I put Bible verses on them.) I don't anticipate the pillowcases ever leaving the house for sleepovers but I do anticipate them being slept on every night at home.

So, what did you do for Valentine's Day??

HaHa! I'm sure your pillowcases are just as treasured!! And if you want to learn how to make some, I'll gladly teach you. Without the names, they are REALLY EASY! Just 4 straight seams!

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

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
