Thoughts

While shopping at Kohls the other day, the checker called me ma'am. 
He looked about 20.  I am really that old? (Please say no!) Wrinkle treatments here I come.


Avery is walking. (Insert a HALLELUJAH!) She was been cruising along the furniture for months. 
Finally last week she walked. She's on her own timetable. I need to remember that.


I still haven't decided what to do with my dining area. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.


I finished "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" last week. 
I really didn't like it at first, but I did in the end. I want to visit Guernsey Island. It sounds delightful.


At church on Sunday, we had a wonderful Sacrament meeting. 
It was on miracles. It got me thinking of how blessed we are and how many miracles we have seen.
The Bachelor is almost over. I can't stand Jake. I
hope he ends up with Vienna. This may be my last season to watch. 


My SIL and her family are coming this weekend.
Can't wait. Haven't seen them since Christmas!


Is it bad that Avery knows how to use the remote control?
 On more than one occasion, she has changed the channel to cartoons.
Do we have a problem on our hands?


Josh has Spring Break next week! Haven't spent a night hanging out
with him in weeks. Can't wait to spend some time with him!

Any tips on handling 7 sunbeams? I leave church
totally EXHAUSTED! How do they have that much energy?

My thoughts:
1. You don't look old, he was just awkward and probably trained to say "ma'am."
2. I knew she would, Hallelujah!
3. Stripes?
4. I'll go to Guernsey with you, I've wanted to go since reading that book.
5. I still don't know why you watch that show but I think it would serve him right to end up with her. Not that I watch...
6. Visitors are always nice.
7. Avery is a genius kid, I think we'll all just have to get used to it. After all, she is YOUR daughter.

Yeah for Avery. It just keeps getting more exciting. I definitely dont think you are old at all cause that would mean I am older. :) Hope you have a great time with Megan and Josh when he gets a break.

LOL. Every time I watch The Bachelor, I think the same thing. This is the last time I watch this lame show. Seriously. And, NO, you are not old enough to be called ma'am! Haha! That's so great Avery is walking now, too! How fun.

haha! I love this post. I especially love that Avery is walking, yeah!!! And no I dont' think you're old. People should be shot for saying ma'am. It drives me nuts. I also share your hatred for Jake. I love that you said you hope he ends up with Vienna. He totally deserves her. But then you'll have to watch the Bachelorette because it will for sure be Tenley. And... I have 7 sunbeams too!! Oh my, yesterday 2 of my little boys were doing the army crawl up and down the rows in the chapel. I come home sweating every week. Wow! I'm slowly finding out that they need lots of treats and they love to act things out. Good luck. Pass your great ideas my way.

Okay...I finally am checking some blogs again...it had been a few months, but both you and Michelle had updated today, and I am checking them. How funny is that? Anyways, love it all. I need to come over and check out your house. Haven't done that in awhile. See you soon!

I tought sunbeams for about 2 years although it seemed like an eternity. I'd come home the same way- tired, drenched in sweat and snippy with my family! No secret, just hope the bishop doesn't keep you in for long! :) Good Luck!

we all get called ma'am (you have kid now)
