Don't Pound Me

I am officially the worst mom ever. I was cleaning up the kitchen and there were two bites of pound cake on a plate. I asked Chels to just eat them, why stick them in a bag, it’s just two bites, come on. She obediently starts chewing a little bite and then runs to the garbage can to spit it out. We have a yucky tummy sickness in the house right now, so I was very concerned, “Are you ok? Are you sick, too?” “No,” she replied, “I just don’t like pound cake.”
Sigh…then why on earth did you eat it?

I'm sorry. I spoke to the committee for The Worst Mother Ever, and I regret to inform you that they will not be awarding you the worst mother ever award. You have just done too many awesome things for your family and you just love them too much. :)
Thanks for brightening my days!

That was funny! Although I think I may be the worse mom in the world for my behavior in Church Sunday! I have a 15 year old that I think would award that to me! I wrote a post on it early this morning you may get a chuckle out of it!

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers

As if I didn't have enough on my plate...(that must be the understatement of the year)I'm jumping in. I was just going to sit back and watch the clues unfold. But I've gotten sucked in! I'm doing this. I love Bonnie Hunter's quilts. They are everything that appeals to me, colorful, scrappy, frugal with lots of great details. I love her motto about "ugly" fabrics, "If it's still ugly, you just didn't cut it small enough!" Once the first clue came out I knew I had to play along. I love green and pink together. It is all over my house in different shades and combinations. My poor husband has to sleep in a froo-froo bedroom. Which he does willingly to keep my happy. (The first time I saw him, he was wearing a pink Izod button down shirt.) [swoon!] Yet, I digress. So, I'll post my progress here. I'll put up a picture as soon as step one is completed. Ok, I'm excited now! Eating is overrated, isn't it? "It's Campbell

Two Tasks

How hard can it be, I ask? I had two things to do before I put the boys down for a nap. I gathered my keys and the trash and out the door I went, hurrying so that Boo wouldn't be climbing on the baker's rack before I came back inside. Or maybe calling China on my cell phone. Run outside, do the jobs, come back in. Quick. I put the dirty diaper in the mailbox.
