Saturday Yard Sale-ing

This morning I went with a friend yard sale-ing. We found some great bargains!
Picture # 1: Christmas candle lamp-$2.00, Elf dish with spreader-$.50, tree with clear beading-$1.00, candle-$.25, pottery bowl-$.50, 14 clear plates with snowflake on them-$.10 each, yellow tray (it's a blue sky one) $8.00

Picture # 2: white shelf-$.50, 8 books-$.25 (to use above my cabinets to stage decorations)

I think I did really well!

Friday Nite, part 2

Okay, so the movie was sold out unless we wanted to wait until 10:05 but we are old people so we just went to the mall to eat and walk around. Great night for just visiting! We did get tickled at Bath and Body Works when smelling the soap. I enhaled a little too much and almost got a nose full. Bought some wonderful smelling Christmas soap! Ready to decorate now! Better head to bed-early morning!

Friday Night

On my way to a movie with my friend Amy. We are going to see Blindside with Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. Heard it was wonderful! AND, we are having popcorn for dinner! Yummy!
Jason and Kordyn are going out to eat and rent a movie, Landyn is at Mamie and Peet's house with Emma for a sleepover. In the morning, I'm going to our church's gym sale with my fellow teachers. At 7 am. On a Saturday morning. When I could be sleeping in. Am I nuts? (Don't answer that!)

It hit home

Today, our pastor's sermon was on being thankful in good times and bad. He used a story about a flower shop that has a unique "special" during Thanksgiving time: long stemmed roses with no flower petals, only thorns. The whole point was to thank God for the "petals" and the "thorns" in life, for that is when you draw closer to God, to rely on him through difficult situations, etc. But, we should do that daily not just when we are going through hard times.
Wow! That really hit me. How guilty I am of only relying on Him when times are tough.
Just something for you to think about this during this upcoming season.
Have a great week!

Saturday Stuff

We had a very productive day!
First, we went out to breakfast @ Couchs (wonderful but too much food)
Then, we got Jason and Landyn's haircuts (Kordyn spent last night with a friend)
Got the propane tank filled, met Jason's parents at O'Charleys and watched them eat (we were still sooo full), Wal-Mart (next time we decide to go there on a Saturday, somebody please admit me!), picked Kordyn up, went to grocery store (only buy meat at Kroger, Hays or W & O which is now Harps), Subway because we were now hungry for lupper (lunch and supper) and then headed home for Jason to work on his traps since the season opens next Saturday.

Then, I started on Landyn's room and closet. I sent him outside to "work" with Jason and I managed to fill 4 garbage bags and a ride on toy and put them in my van before he knew what I was doing!! YEAH!! Now his room is so organized and clean. I did Kordyn's a few weeks ago so now, it's just mine and Jasons left and then, my entire house has been cleaned out and re-organized. Now, I just have 5 loads of laundry to do. Fun fun!

Today's Agenda

6:45 am-Abdominal ultrasound

8:45-birthday celebration for one of my precious students
11:00-head into the office to work-no more teaching for the rest of the day
3:15-pick up Kordyn

We'll see how this schedule works for today

**For those of you who have texted me, no I am not pregnant! They are checking my gallbladder and whatever else they check when doing an abdominal ultrasound. I'll know probably Tuesday if I have a bad gallbladder-hope I don't have to have surgery but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to not hurt anymore!

I HATE Day Light Savings Time

Why do we have to change the time twice a year? See this "angel", he got up at 6am!!! this morning. Guess who got to get up with him?? I feel a nap coming on.
