A Newborn's Conversation with God
A baby asked God,
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you and you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, "You will simply call her, " Mom ."
Buttering me up
My friend invited me over for lunch today, she said I will cook. Which is awesome, because she is a great cook! But she was trying to butter me up for sure!! She wanted me to create her a blog. You see, her family is packing up and heading out to West Texas, and falling off the face of this earth :) I kid, I kid. So, anyway, she needs a way to update all of her friends and family back here in the GREAT state of Oklahoma on her daily trials and tribulations with her twinadoes!!
She said, I will make something from Pioneer Woman’s cookbook, which got me all excited, because everything in that cookbook, is awesome!! So she made this:
AND THIS
Both were awesome!! Not only that, she sent me home with the entire tub of leftovers!! BONUS!! No cooking for me tonight!!
If you want to read about her twinadoes, go here. If she hasn’t posted anything yet, come back here and tell me, because I will hound her until she does!!

Ok, Here’s the deal…
So, you know I have been having headaches. Well, last week, I went to see the doctor. I was tired of taking all of this aspirin and it not working and me walking around in a daze all the time, because my head hurt so bad. So, Dr. J said, first of all, that my nasal cavity was too small, and that was causing a lot of stuffiness, and not enough drainage. So, he wanted me to take a shot every 3 months, and take an allergy pill daily. He also said that I needed to be on a new headache control medicine, which I just started today. The headache control medicine has a wonderful side effect, which is a decrease in appetite. So, with this side effect, he wanted me off of diet coke, which I am addicted. AND I am proud to say today is my 3rd day without any! There are even some in the refrigerator at home, and I haven’t touched them. Diet Cherry 7up is awesome! He also wanted color on my plate, no carbs, or starches. Which I FAILED at today, I had a huge baked potato for lunch, but it was covered in color :) Anyway, let’s just pray that this medicine works, because I am tired of having headaches.
Oh yeah, and two funnies about Gracie:
1. I caught her biting her toenails in church-EEWW!!
2. She said she wanted a nose ring last night. She said, I want a sparkly thing here in my nose, and I said, Like a button to hold your nose onto your face, and she said “No, like an earring in my nose, all sparkly and pretty.” Her dad wasn’t haven’t, he proceeded to tell her, “As long as you live in this house, you will never have one of those.”
Yep, paying for my raising…

For my Mom…
5 Question Friday
1. What is your worst memory of your siblings? Honestly, I do not have one. I have a ton of great memories though. My sister was older than my brother and I by a few years, 7 older than me and 11 older than Zack. So, she was gone a lot, but I still remember laying in her bed before her wedding day, talking about all kinds of things. That was so great, that she took time out to talk with me! Zack and I grew up together basically, we were always riding four wheelers, playing outside, or swimming. We were definitely water rats! Spent our whole summer in the pool, unless he had ball games, then we got in the pool afterwards!
2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!) Oh my, there are so many. And I mean, when I was a teenager, I did so many bad things! I used to live in an apartment behind our house when I was 14, it was like 5 feet from our house, but it had it’s own entrance. Yes, my parents were crazy for letting me live out there, but I thought it was cool. I would sneak out the back window, but to sneak out, you had to jump down about 8 feet or so, climb a fence, get on top of outhouse, climb that roof and jump down another fence. It was hell getting back in. Well, I snuck out one night, and ripped my shirt and pants. I went and did my thing, keeping it clean folks! I snuck back in the house, and after struggling for about 1 hour to get back in, I get in the window and I was like “yes, I made it finally” No one has to know, I open the door to the bathroom, and there is my dad waiting on me. Yep, he had been there the whole time, and didn’t even help me climb back in the window. He sat there and laughed at me. I was so mad, and embarrassed. Needless to say, I was grounded and had to move back in the house. Well, the big house only had two bedrooms, so yep, you guessed it, I had to sleep on my brother’s floor for the next 6 months.
3. Where do you like to go to relax? Well, when I do relax it is usually sitting on the crocheting or making hair bows. But I sure do love to treat myself to a pedicure. But don’t you just hate it when you go get one, and they sit you next to the lady that won’t shut up or is on her cell phone all the time.
4. What was the last thing you won? I won two free tickets to Elmo Live, and yes we enjoyed it very much!
5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose? 1 vs. 100, I love that show, and they replay it on the Game Show network. I am good a trivia, especially at Music trivia.

We are hooked…
We are so hooked on this new fajita meat we got. It is absolutely delicious! It is called John Soules Beef Fajita meat.
I have been making quesadillas with it, but last night we had fajitas with it. Gracie eats it like any other steak, with sour cream. I would definitely try it if you haven’t yet.
Fishing!
We took Gracie fishing for the first time yesterday. She was so excited! She could not wait for church to be over so we could go. We got everything ready, loaded up the truck, and headed out. We got to the pond, that a friend of Brian’s graciously let us use, and Brian started baiting the hook. He cast her line for her, and not 2 minutes, and she had a bite. It was awesome to see that look on her face. Within the next 20 minutes, she ended up catching 3 fish, and of course they were little perch, so we threw them back in. After catching her three fish, she was done. Her patience had worn out. So we packed it up and went home. Either way, it was still a great time!
March of Dimes Walk
We had our March for Babies, March of Dimes walk on Saturday. I left the house with all of my needed items, stroller, umbrellas, snacks, water, coat for Gracie and a change of clothes for her “just in case.” When we got to the park, it started raining, and I kicked myself for not bringing a coat for myself. But we forged ahead. Walking one mile in the rain is not bad at all. Gracie didn’t even get wet, she laid down in the stroller and pulled her feet in under the umbrella, she was good. Me, on the other hand, couldn’t push that stroller for nothing with one hand. I had a hold of the umbrella with the other. I didn’t want to get wet. Just as we were fixing to make the turn at 1/2 mile, it quit raining, so we decided to walk the full 3 miles! It was great! We walked along, told funny stories and Gracie made a new friend in Stacy. After all was said and done, we had a great lunch and a great day!
