"I GOT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Spencer now has his own e-mail address. He wrote me last night and I wanted to share what he had to say, so cute. So I quote, even the title of the blog.....

"I just got my webelo and ARROW OF LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The arrow of light is the highest award a cub scout can get!
I feel like it is my birthday!"

Love

Spencer


Spencer, I am so proud of you! It takes hard work and dedication to earn scouting awards, badges and soforth. Keep up the good work! LOVE- Mom

why why why?

Had to laugh.....
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? why is there an 's'?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three people you admire-- if they're okay, then it's you.
****A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine****

After my previous blog I opened my e-mail and found this. Maybe, just maybe, I am normal!

Nothing sexy about my Rain

Kenny Chestney sings "There's something sexy about the rain".

Well I disagree! In my life when it rains it pours. I can't find anything too sexy about that! Some of you may be able to, but not I.

I seem to make it through the storms, one way or another; but I still lack the knack that some of you have to see the beauty or lesson (sexiness) in it all. I can see the light as the storm rolls, I see the rainbow when it's all over, I look back and see the lesson learned and the blessings; and I'm the type that can see the "sexiness" in others storms but not my own. Why is that?

Why are some of us to prone to being upbeat and positive (most) all of the time, on & off, and some (most) never? Is this a inherited personality trait? Is it a learned behavior? Is it a choice we make subconsciously? Now I know, that we can make a choice at any time to change are thinking, but our initial reaction is what I'm talking about.

Well as the rain pours in life right now, I am numb. Yet, I had the above, you might say odd thoughts that I've felt like writing about. Lucky reader you! LOL
Does anyone else ever wonder about the things I do? Do you ever feel like you're ready to quit treading the water and see what happens? Do you ever feel like you try in vain? Do you ever feel deceived about the choices you made during your stormy times; yet they felt so right at the time? (Maybe I just think to much.)

I guess this all makes me thankful even more for the SUNSHINE!

TIME OUT TUESDAY

Our local radio station has a contest on Tuesdays called "Time Out Tuesdays". Were you can call in and nominate a person/couple to win a nights stay at a themed room in Rexburg, dinner for two at Applebee's and two tickets to a movie at the Rex Theater.
Well I called this morning and nominated Geary. I mentioned all his hard work with the truck at the reunion, the differences in our schedule (that he works nights I days) and he tends Coltyn. Being a blended family, so we grow by three every other weekend. So forth. Well.............
He WON!! A co-worker and an old co-workers wife called to second the nomination also after hearing the radio story. That made me feel good to know that other people know how hard he works and that it's noticed by more than me!

He doesn't hold still much better than the child in the picture, so he needs someone to make him have a time out, with or without duck tape.
Geary as always, you ROCK!!! I love you, and congratulations on winning the Time Out Tuesday! Take me with you? Please. LOL ;)
