HERES TO THE PICKIN!

have you ever been there?

Romeoville, Illinois ---- seriously. what a cool place! I find it interesting that there are so many odd unique fun names for towns. Anyone heard of this place?
Tell me the strangest place you have ever been, or heard of????

I don't think my husband has ever recovered from the date we had where I drove him 2 1/2 hours to go to the Family Tree Restaurant. This little farming town that I wanted to live in, and have the garden of the week award.

What goals I had back then? These days I just want to get the veggies at the store in my kids mouths, and the thought of growing them gives me hives!

So....surprise, he still married me, and yes, I still dream of my little town far away from civilization, where I have the garden of the week award posted in my front yard. Awwww....i can see it now....

ABC TAG!

due to the chocolate meltdown i was having

which brought the emergency giveaway...

CONGRATS

CHOCOLATE WINNERS

now...

i bring back the interupted TAG!

in the meantime:

you can do the tag,

tell me you already did the tag,

or ignore the tag if you are a tag hater.....ready, set, go:

this one is thanks to trying to stay calm...LOVE IT...

A-Attached or Single: Attached
B-Best Friend: My Husband!
C-Cake or Pie: Pumpkin Pie every time!
D-Day of Choice: Sunday
E-Essential Item: CHOCOLATE, of course.
F-Favorite Color: Hunter Green and Sunflower Yellow!
G-Greatest Accomplishment: My Children
H-Hometown: American Fork
I-Indulgences: DATE NIGHT!
J-January or July: January
K-Kids: 3 boys, 1 daughter
L-Life is incomplete without: Family Time, and Snuggling
M-Marriage: Yes, please!
N-Number of Siblings: 11
O-Oranges or Apples: Oranges
P-Phobias or fears: being this disorganized forever!
Q-Quotes: "Always think of things on an Eternal perspective!"
I kept this quote from trying to stay calm, LOVE IT!

and to repent I will blog
a whole blog of quotes later that I love too.

(hence, above, the fear of being disorganized...ETERNALLY)
R-Reason to Smile: faith and forgiveness
S-Season: Fall
T-Tag Friends: EVERYONE READING THIS!
U-Unknown facts about me: I eat fries alone in my car, use air freshener to cover up the smell because I have raised my kids to think fast food is disgusting. Whenever I get caught they say, "EWWWW, whats that smell." "Fast food" I say," gross, huh."
V-Very favorite store(s): Book stores (second hand especially - I love the inscriptions in old books), consignment shops, and antique.
W-Worst habit: Stressing, yelling at my kids. SWEARING, thinking my kids wont understand what i said.

we interrupt this TAG to bring you this:

[thinking of unknown facts, worst habits and things I probably shouldn't share.]

S-9 came home asking what camel toe is.

I won't go into the WAY TO LONG explanation that Mr. B gave him, or the fact that he has been asking for a month, and B has been putting it off; or the advice B was given at work on how to tell his son.

Also, you DON'T want to see the pictures he drew [quick explaination, they were all of animals feet, up to the camels foot/toe, and then a few of...well go ahead, imagine]!

...best yet, you don't want to visualize Mr. B pulling his pants up really high to give him an effective, S-9 will never be the same, example of it.

B, at near the end of this fabulous lesson in words we wish our kids never had to understand, explained that camel toe is like a sign.

LIKE A SIGN?

Follow me:

He goes on to say, like the loser sign; is the L.

Which brings us to things our kids should never learn from us:


J-7: Oh, I know dad, you mean like when mom holds her three fingers up and says, "Read between the lines." You know how if you take away these two fingers it means......

Dad interrupting him: (how he can respond without busting up is beyond me), Yes, J, exactly. And again, NOT one of the things that you should do just because OTHER PEOPLE (including your MOTHER) do it.

Now back to our TAG!

X-X-ray or Ultra Sound: X-rays and Ultrasounds, too many!
Y-Your favorite food: Mexican, and Vietnamese
Z-Zodiac: Leo

I now TAG:

EVERYONE who will do it.

Let me know when you do so that I can come read about you....

or tell me too if you have already done it.

oh, and for fun...TAKE THE AWARD...

Willing to do the tag....awwww, you should get an award!
ENJOY♥

Have FUN!

...SHE IS DELERIOUSLY BEHIND

....the proof is in my Christmas cards from last year still haven't been sent.
[which i will be using for this year....the kids haven't changed that much, have they???]



back to the tag:
so....yes, some of you noticed that the tag post SAID and ADVERTISED itself today. it even surprised me [he he he]....i thought i had given myself adequate time to get to it....hmmmm....try three funerals, and finals....yeah.

sadly, NO it is not here...i haven't gotten to it....so, if you came to seem my oddities,....just read along, its all in the fine print.

the tag, from my dear wendyburd, will be posted in the near future....i am such a procrastinator. sorry. i am so intimidated by this tag....[didn't want to admit that]...scaring my OCD to act up....my dog ate it, alright y then, can anyone help me with better excuses.

these don't sound efficient enough, and with my OCD the stress of a good excuse is really putting me out...

I have given myself until the 12th of December....by then you all will have done it, and i will have no one to tag....hmmmm...

okay, give me your best excuses:

winner gets to be highlighted on the top of my blog for the rest of the week...but you all have to help me vote!

Bring it on....may the best blogger excuse win!

What's the harm in J-7 having a MULLET!??!!☺

It's haircut day.

J-7 and Mr. B come home, J is shaved, perfect future missionary haircut, except that he is 7, and has 11 more years to have hair before the days of balded bliss.


Mr. B brings him in: Mom, check out the new cut.

Me: I can see who won that debate.

Mr. B: I think he looks good.

J-7: Yeah, well Olivia C. wont think so.
She told me she wanted me to grow my hair out.

[Now we know the method behind the madness, always a girl involved.]

B:: You look good buddy.

J-7: THATS WHAT YOU THINK!
(as he runs to his room, at least he hasn't learned to slam the doors, YET.)

Me: You should have just let him get the mullet.

(even i can't believe that i heard myself say that.)

Mr. B now is desperate to heal the broken heart of his child.

Who wouldn't want to?

Mr. B to J-7: You look cute buddy.

It's a great haircut.

It is just like mine.

J-7 to Dad: That's because you

don't have any hair,

you have to cut your hair that way.

OUCH!

Dad to J-7: It will grow out.

J-7: Not in one day.

AND now my neck is going to be cold.

(thanks to my sister, for the Mullet fisherman info. J-7 now has fact behind the folly.)

Dad: Sorry buddy.

J-7: Tell that to Olivia C.

yeah, dad, and we will C if J-7
will EVER go with you to get a hair cut again!

Dad: We can always go get you the wig!

Cece: He will thank you guys someday for not letting him do that. ☺

Sorry everyone who voted yea; we are months away from the mullet now.

And J-7's love life is on hold. I guess that's not a bad thing, right?



PS: Quick addition....

Conversation in the car with G; after the fact!

G-11: So J got his haircut.

Me: Yes, not real happy about it.

G-11: Yeah, I heard.

Me: Dad should have let him have the mullet.

G-11: I don't know about that.

Me: What's the harm in J having a mullet?

G: Having to look at him!


ouch! point for dad.
