Since I've been gone

As you might can tell, I haven't been in the blogging mood. Not a bit. Life changing things have been happening in my family, not so much with my six, but with ones I care about. Lots of times trusting God is the hardest thing to do. So here's one more prayer being sent up for people in Louisiana and Texas for healing, happiness and long lives. In Jesus name. I know God still heals.

And as I stated in my last post, I Instagram more than I blog these days and so I'll catch up my blog to my gramming. If you've seen these pics before, tough it. I know Carlie hasn't!! Lets see what's been happening in life since we last met.

Emma continues to get dressed every day.....with flair.

Went with Willie D to the pumpkin farm, which I decided I want for my very own.

Sweetness.

Happens every day. It's exhuasting.

The football continues to show up in strange places.

Whitney sent me this fantabulous picture of myself, and she just happened to be in it too. I need to blow this up and paste it to my real face. I NEVER look like this. Well, I guess I did one time.

We went to another football game a couple of weeks ago, and when I asked Caitlin how many I'd been to, cause I thought I'd been to at least 8, she said, "You've been to one." WHAT?!?!?! NO! My buttocks have been to at least four! But alas, one was true. Caitlin and Mollie came by for a visit while "working." Olivia happily sat next to me in the stands. OK, that's not really true. She can't take my occasional boredom as well as my awesome dancing abilities. Because when the groovy music comes on, I MUST ROCK!

Boys still love to huddle and shout out a good chanting war cry.

Then Carlie came by for a chat on her way to funnel cake heaven.

This game was fairly boring and at some point, I looked at my phone more than the game. And then something good would happen and I'd have missed it, which would cause me to say, "OK, what just happened?"

Caitlin and Olivia continue their search of every shape and size marshmallow in the land. And I continue to hide them.

We saw this gorgeous sunset whilst searching for a flag pole and holder.

Because we're flying the school colors. And since we found the holder and not the pole, we are now presenting in this fashion. It doesn't look ridiculous AT ALL.

My cousin Connie sent me this great picture from our beach trip of Keith and Ila.

John continues his streak of forgetting to unlock the back door before he exits. RIDICULOUS! And Addy's wondering where her "I'm with stupid t-shirt is.

I took this picture of red doors downtown. And although I don't like my car shadow in the picture, I love the red doors!

Which brings me to the other day when I had a fight with a 3 year old boy. I won't list all his offenses but he stuck his tongue out at me 3 times, and shockingly, I DID NOT respond in kind. The first "stick" was obviously directed at me. And when I addressed it with him, he immediately retracted the offender. But, in another minute, I looked over at him as he was sitting in time out, and sure enough, the little bugger was at it again. Only this time when he saw me see him, he began kind of wagging his tongue around in his mouth as if he was just "giving it some air." I had to turn my head to hide my amusement. Well, I wasn't gonna tell his mom about his multi offenses until HE announced to ME he was gonna tell on me to her. To which I maturely retorted, "Well now I AM gonna tell on you!" And I did, even though I didn't want to. I hate it when kids call my bluff. So, the next day when I arrived at work, guess who was one of the first kids to enthusiastically smile and say hello. I love that kid, and I wish I could forgive and forget as quickly as children.  

Over the weekend we had a watch party of ULM's game against Western Kentucky and I have to say I can't take the pressure of a close sports game. And in that game, as many wrong things that could have happened to ULM at the end....did...and yet they still won. But I was hiding out waiting to be told the outcome due to nervousness. It may be my most hated trait about myself. I love this ULM "little team that could." But I can't believe it's almost game day again as Saturday quickly approaches. In case you didn't know, you can't turn off a real game when it's close and you're nervous. Double ugh to that.

And then today I went to Wal Mart to buy multi things, cat food being one of them. WELL, when I picked up the bag by the bottom, the WHOLE BAG OF FOOD EMPTIED ONTO THE FLOOR! I audibly gasped to the point of almost swallowing my goozle, looked around to assess my options, and then quickly FLED THE SCENE!! And even now that I look at my mess, I only feel about 10% guilt. I only wish I could hear the person who had to clean it up as they talked about the idiot who did that. I would have heartily agreed with them. BUT manufacture people! Glue the tops shut properly! 

One last thing, before I got my new phone, I found some pictures on my old phone to be real keepers and over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some. Mostly of my kids. So be ready. And don't forget, I posted Elvis hair of myself. So you should be worried.

Drop it like it's hot.
