HEART LESSONS

I was blog hopping this morning and was reading about links I love at We are that Family.

She sent me to How to Handle Little People: A Non Tutorial .

This post touched me and made me cry...no I bawled as my memaw use to say. (I always hated the word bawl)

I'm still sniffing as I type. 

I wonder how many times I let the little things get in the way...like spilled paint, and didn't take time to comfort my girls as I rushed to clean it up. I am so lucky to have 2 beautiful girls who are taking care of themselves, are productive citizens and love God.

I know in this day and age their are a lot of parents out their that can't say this and I'm not bragging. I'm just sayin.

I know that God was there even when I was not acknowledging Him...helping me take care of them and molding them to be the young ladies they are today. 

Were not perfect, we say things we regret, If I could go back and do it different.... I would spend more time with them, less time at work,not raise my voice ...as much, and hug them...hug them...and hug them some more.

(although we do a lot of hugging in my family anyway, you can never hug enough.)

*Thank you to Kristen who introduced me to Ann's Holy Experience blog who made me cry and thank God for my kids.

....again

Today our MEme is all about-

FIVE "breathtaking" white LIES YOU'VE TOLD.

( Ode to Seinfeld Episode) 

 

 

 

 

 

I like to think I do not lie....but it doesn't always work. so here are the ones I can think of.

 

 

1. When I see some proud mama,g'mama,aunt....whatever. and they are holding an UGLY 

baby. (Don't look like that,you know there are some UGLY babies out there.) I can not say "what a pretty baby...I don't wanna lie. So in stead I comment on their hair oe their outfit. Like..." LOOK at all that hair! WOW!" or "That has got to be the cutest lil dress."

So I'm not actually lying...unless the baby has no hair or it's outfit is UGLY too.

 

 

 

2. I have this lady I work for...she is like 162 years old and I really do care about her. That is no white lie...really. Cause if I didn't care for her I would not be workking at her house. It is bad! She tells me I know I'm lazy. I have days when I'm suppose to go there and I will find something to do and go somewhere else...like home. I was suppose to do her house last Wed. and didn't. I told her Thurs. and didn't...she is so sweet and I now feel awful cause I make up things to tell her so I don't have to do her house. I'm suppose to go tomorrow....Lord give me strength.

3. Bums.

I HATE getting out of my car and having someone who probably makes more $$$ than me asking for "change" to get something to eat. I tell them "I'm sorry I NEVER carry cash on me." I told one guy (cause he really looked hungry) I would go get him aburger if he would wait right here...he told me nevermind. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought he was hungry!

Anyway..If you see me and want some change...I am going to lie to you and hope yur not one of God's angels.

4. Messenger,FB chat, Multiply chat...whatever chat I am always off line... as far as people can see anyway. I have had people start talking to me and totally ignore them acting like I don't see it. I just don't care for chatting to much.

Just so ya know I don't ALWAYS do this...just sometimes.

5. Like Supah...I use to lie to my kids when they were little. 

-The little pony at the supermarket that eats quarters? He was broke ALL THE TIME> I would wait in car til a kid got off of it so the girls wouldn't know.

- Those balloons that some stores give kids? They would mysteriously come untied oncve we were outside and float away. I hated them in the car...one more thing to fight over.

-Little quarter machines at the doors of stores witht he little toys that you step on and it HURTS!... broke all the time. 

#1 that they will always remnember is the phrase- "we'll see" We would never see. That was a no plain and simple but they fell for it for a long long time. After they got older they would tell me mama that means no.

Ok that's all I got! I'm going to try to go visit!

 

 

 

 

This Blog...That Blog????

I really should blog here more often,only here lately with my mom in the hospital I really haven't been blogging at all. I finally got a comment! How exciting is that.....very,to me. I now know that the plant I needed an identity on is a seedum. Now I just need to do some research on it, thanks Sarah! This blog over here works so different than my other, you don't have friends over here???? I'll eventually get the hang of it.

My youngest is having marital problems....it breaks my heart to hear how sad she is. I'm not sure if it would be easier if she was closer to home or not. She lives 600 miles away and just started a new job. I know she'll be ok but it's so hard not being able to be there to hold her when she cries. Anyone got any advice on how to handle this situation?

My oldest is doing good,she's been a real help at the hospital with mama. Hopefully mama will be getting out soon....just not before she gets better!

The boy child is ...well he's almost 14 so he lives in the cave he calls his room and we see him when we have food! LOL..... He is a great kid though.

Well IF anyone reads this I hope you have a great day/night.
