A teachable moment? not so much...

It has come to my attention that I am not exactly the person to be teaching little kids things. I am beginning to rethink my plan of homeschooling my kids.

New Years Eve I spent with the bubbies and we watched several kiddie cartoons. We were watching the Backyardigans, ok side note, has anyone ever watched the Backyardigans? It was my first time and I STILL have robot on a rampage stuck in my head! To say their songs are repetitive would be a small statement. But what amused me was the choreographed boyband circa 1998 dance numbers they would do to their songs. It looked like a cheap cartoon version of backstreet boys! It amused me!

Ok anyways, so we're watching the Backyardigans and we are watching the episode the 50 ft Worman. So I decide to try and teach Joey how much 50 ft is. Great idea huh? Yeah it didn't go so well. MY Briliant idea to get him to understand how tall it was went alittle like this..

Hey Joe, do you know how big 50 ft is?

No.... How big?

You know how tall your Mommy is?

yeaaaaahhh..

well your mommy is like 5 ft.... so just think about putting 10 mommies on her head, one after the other and that would be 50 ft!!

*i sit proudly contemplating my brilliance*

long pause of silence from joe along with a very interesting look on his face.. finally..

they're all on her head?

yup, one on top of the other! and thats 50 ft!!

buut.. that would make her head get flat and break and go all the way to her toes! I think that would hurt mommy!!!

*silence from the 27 yr old*

Well.. Lets just tell Mommy not to let anyone stand on her head...

Yeah, and I'm not gonna let anyone stand on my head either because i don't want it to get flat and break and go down to my toes.. i would be sad and cry..

good plan joe.. good plan..

January Recap

Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window. BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it. I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea

It's me, Charity
