You Might Be a Redneck

You might be a redneck if your son asks you to slow down to five miles per hour so he can call turkeys out the car window and you see an ostrich chasing a sheep... all on the way to school....in the same day. 

LOL...Oh yeah....we did!!!!!!  In big ole Effin'ham County (correctly pronounced Effingham County!)

Can someone please tell me why it is I have a king size bed but end up only sleeping on 6 inches of it while my kids sleep on the rest?  Just askn?????!!!!!

Toooooooo Funny

Ok....This is soooo funny I'm posting it on both of my blogs....

Three of my girls are in the bedroom singing karaoke and it is time for my six year old to sing her song.  She decides on American Honey by Lady Antebellum.  Anyone who knows this song knows it begins with these words..."She grew up...on the side of the road..."  Well, according to my precious little Katherine, she didn't grow up on the side of the road...this is what she did..."She THREW UP...on the side of the road..."   OMGOSH...i laughed so hard.  My other girls were laughing soooo hard and poor Kat had no idea why.  She kept saying "what..."  They just kept laughing.   Of course we finally told her and her reply was..."it's not funny, I'm just learning to read."  I told her we had to learn to laugh at ourselves.  We all do crazy things and say stupid stuff.  Been there done that.  She just came in here and told me she's laughing about it now.  If we can't laugh at ourselves, what can we truly laugh at!!!!!

Same Ole Drama

Nothing exciting or funny to tell.  Just the same ole drama.  Davis pesters girls, girls scream, girls tattle, mom gets angry, Davis denies he's done anything, Davis admits, "OK maybe I did, but it's their fault.  They are stupid for getting so mad.  After all I was playing.  They should get in trouble, not me."  Mom is flabbergasted how he can pick and make it their fault.  Mom is mad because Davis was dancing around truth.  Mom yells.  Truth comes out.  Mom threatens with the wrath of dad.  Everyone is scared.  Everyone is in trouble and I need medication.

How was your day?

I am convinced now that we ate something bad.  5 out of 7 of us are sick.  The only ones not, Blake and Anna Blake.  uugghhh...maybe if we had the name Blake we wouldn't be sick either.  Ha

Katherine

Poor Katherine...after she ate dinner last night she wanted a bowl of ice cream so I let her have one.  After eating a few bites, her tummy started hurting her.  So she put her ice back in the freezer and just sat on the couch.  I finally took her to bed and said a prayer that God would make her feel better.  About 10 minutes later, she called me in there b/c she had thrown up all over the bed.   After I cleaned it all up and changed the sheets I told her that God must have answered our prayer because He knew throwing up would make her feel better.  She said, "no, the devil made me throw up."  I said well I think the devil wants you to be sick and not feel good so I think maybe God answered our prayers.  She then said, "No, God told me to not eat anymore ice cream."   HAHAHAHA   God love that girl!!!!!

Skip Day

OK  so I let my kids have a skip day yesterday.  By 8:30 I was regretting that decision.  The sad part is they hadn't even been up for 30 minutes.  It was awful...a nightmare.  I LOVE my children but I'm not sure I LOVE it when they are all together.  ha!!!  I told them never ever ever ever ever again would they skip school.  Learned my lesson.   But then my son said, "I think we should all be able to skip like once a month."  WHAT...DO I HAVE FOOL WRITTEN ACROSS MY FOREHEAD??????  I am a sucker driven by guilt, but I ain't feeling that guilty!!!!! 

But the silver lining was I got a very nice car wash out of the deal!!!!  A DETAILED car wash.    So, maybe the day wasn't so bad after all!!!!  :)  Really...I do love my babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I a turtle
