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..

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

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...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo! My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable. My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size! Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!! That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

It's me, Charity
