Wednesdays with Addie

 I wasn't kidding when I told Audra "I hope you enjoy spending your maternity leave with me!"! I have turned into an Addison Jane stalker, or as I like to call her "Addie Girl" and I have no plans on giving up stalking that little punkin! She is just too precious!

 So on Wednesday of this week, I made some lunch and brought it over to Addie and her Momma!  After lunch Addie was sleepy, but was fighting sleep. Auds suggested I stand up and hold her, so I stood and did my patented rock and sway and she was out like a light in a matter of minutes! I was cracking up at her sleep position of choice. I had her on my shoulder, and she kept wiggling down until she found where she wanted to be.
 I mean how is this even comfortable? Who knows, babies are flexible little things. My back and neck just hurt looking at her.
 We learned that selfies with baby work better when I am sitting, thanks to the height difference between me and Auds. Lesson learned!
 And now back to the weird sleeping positions. I mean, look at her leg!  I didn't realize how she was kicking it, (she literally feels so light you can barely tell you're holding her) and Audra grabbed my camera and said she had to take a picture so I could see Addie's leg. Apparently she is on her way to becoming a Karate master? A ninja?
 Still out like a light, limbs going everywhere. Silly girl! Despite me thinking it looked painful to my old lady body, she must have been comfy because she slept this way for almost 2 hours.
 I mean just look at that cuteness! The only downside was that she was a hot little inferno! My chest was flaming red after and I was wondering if I was having an early hot flash. Next time, Charity will wear a short sleeved top before snuggling. :) So worth it though!
I finally had to pull myself away from snuggling to leave and go back home to teach several lessons. I go outside and click my keyless entry and nothing... No unlocking. get closer to my truck, do it again, nothing. Sinking feeling. Look in the window of my driver's side and see my light switch ON. I'm still not sure when I left it on, but my battery was deader than a doornail.

I walk back to Audra's front door where she and the "kids" :) are waiting to see me pull away.  Thankfully, this is not my first time to leave my lights on, and because of that my awesome Dad got me a very fancy pair of jumper cables AND taught me how to use them. We'll not discuss how many times i have used them, but let's just say I completely know how to jump a car. (Sidenote, this has came in handy for others as well, one of my student's Mom had a dead battery and Miss Charity saved the day by jump starting her mini van. Oh yes, I am awesome!)

Anywho, Auds was kind enough to back out her car and then hold the hood up while I went to work. I think I can safely say this is the first time she has ever jumped a car. But as she is my friend, it will most likely not be the last! HA!

After we got it started, and we quit cheering, she asked "So what do we do now?"  I said, well first, we take a picture to commemorate this moment! And she posed and smiled like a champ. #thatswhywerefriends

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
