Goodness!

Yesterday, I got in my car to take the kids to school. My seatbelt wouldn't latch. Looked like something was stuck down in there. I tried to push the release button, no luck. Well, I just took John's car, no time to mess with that when you are running out the door. So, yesterday afternoon, he took a look at it. No luck with him either, so we took it to Mazda today. We just dropped it off because we had an appointment to go to, and who wants to sit there and wait anyway? Well, she called me and informed me that there was an internal jam in the "lock", and it would have to be replaced. Are you ready?? 90 bucks!!! What??? It's a seat belt fastener, for heaven's sake! But I have to have it. It's the driver's seatbelt, so you can't just scoot over and ignore it for awhile. And they have to order the part, so my car is sitting there. For an additional $7 they could overnight the part, so what the heck, I told them to go ahead and overnight it. Bye, bye a hundred bucks. Sure wasn't expecting that! And you know, I have no idea what jammed it, I had no problems with it at all the last time I took it off. It didn't stick or anything. Who would have thought?

"Bragger"

I'm not supposed to know this yet, but I have it on good authority that a certain 3rd grader, who will remain anonymous to protect the innocent teller of the tell, made a 100 on her TAKS test. It is the very first one she has ever taken, and I'm so proud that I'm about to bust my buttons!! I just couldn't wait until I "officially" knew, I had to go ahead and tell the world!

Good grief!

That post looks so dumb! I tried to be cute, by putting the word blue in blue letters and then ended up changing the color of the rest of the post. Pardon my snafu.

Put it up.....

This is partly for my sweet friend Kristen, I know she will appreciate it......Last night we went to Chuck E. Cheese with Hunter. Janae went to spend the night with a friend, and he was feeling a little blue. So we took him out to have some fun. We went in, ordered, and started walking around the corner when I saw her! This lady was sitting in the floor, between the places where you feed your tickets into the machines, across from the drinks. (Got all that???) She had her t-shirt hitched up and was nursing a little boy who was about 8 months old. NO BLANKET, no "thing-ie" that Kristen has. Just sitting out there in the middle of everyone letting it all hang out. I was shocked! Nursing babies do not generally bother me what-so-ever. You usually know that's what they are doing, but you aren't looking at mom's middle, hoping that mom's top stays covered up. My, my, my, my, my. Hunter was too interested in finding a game, he didn't even notice her, thank goodness! So beware, of CEC!! tee, hee

Orange Crush 'Em!!

I just have to share.....we are the orange crush, Hunter's basketball team, and today for after the game snacks, one of the mom's brought a case of orange crush soda! What a cute idea. She gave one to Janae as well. Both kids opened it, took one drink, and didn't want it. What's wrong with them?? Oh, well, it's probably pure sugar. But it was so cute. By the way, we won, 16-6, little Carson made at least 3 baskets, to be honest, I kinda lost count, but he was the star of the show today, and he only played 2 quarters. That Coach Bolton needs to play him more!!! tee, hee

Found!

This afternoon, Hunter was digging stuff out from under his bed. (He has buckets with toys in them under there for storage.) I told him to look again for the DS, and all of a sudden he yelled that he found it!! I had checked under there twice already, and hadn't seen it, but last night when I prayed about it, I asked God to just put it right where we would see it. So, we had a thank you prayer, and are very relieved. Thanks!!

DS is missing.....

Well, tonight I have a prayer request post. I cannot find Hunter's Nintendo DS that he just got for Christmas ANYWHERE! And to top it off, he had the brand new Mario Brother's game in it which was a week old and cost $35.00!!!! Tonight the kids were outside playing, while I was turning the house upside down for at least the 3rd time. The last time I saw it was at Market Street, we were in their little dining area for a meeting I had with some church ladies. I am 99.9999% sure it got home, Janae is positive it did. I did call today asking if it had been turned in, just in case. It had not, but that was about 10 days ago. It's one of those things that I triple check to make sure we have, so it doesn't get left anywhere. But....what's making me doubt is that I was absolutely, positively sure that I had Janae's jacket in my hands when we left basketball on Saturday, couldn't find it when we got home, so I called the church, and yes, it got left there. So, now I doubt myself that I triple checked that we were bringing home the DS. I am mostly positive that it is in this house, so I'm still looking. Tonight I had a revelation.....PRAY for some help from God!! HELLO!! So, I did, but He hasn't shown it to me yet. Dad doesn't know about this yet, it won't go over very well if we can't find it, so please pray with me that it will be found, and found quickly!!!
