Sometimes, I am speechless...
I don't know where Ethan comes up with the things he does. But here is an excerpt of some of my day.
I MADE him take a shower which of course I washed him. He gets in the shower and hands me 2 wash rags, I said, "Ethan why did you get two wash rags?!" thinking of my never ending laundry, he says, "cause one for my eyes and one for my butt crack!" After the shower and the drying and putting his pants on, I put his shirt in the dryer to get rid of the wrinkles (it was a pull over) he asks where his shirt is and Jadyn said I don't know I brought you one down, it is pink.....Ethan....yeah..."PINK?! I DON'T WANT TO WEAR A PINK SHIRT THAT IS GIRL COLORS!!!!!" So Jadyn tells him of all the men she has seen wear pink and he calms down.
I come back into my bathroom and he is putting on Gary's deodorant and telling Jadyn, " I do to need 'oderant, I have hair on my arm pits!"
At church, well here is a picture it is worth, as they say 1,000 words.
I forgot to mention that he spilled the gallon pitcher of tea, on the carpet before we started getting ready for church.
Before church starts Jadyn said she needed some Hand sanitizer, Ethan goes to the back of the church and comes back to the pew with the entire Jug of it and said "Here I got you some "HANatizer" ."
I asked him to get me tissues at church the night before last and he went up to the front of the church, on the mens side, I got up in the pew in time to see him grab the ENTIRE box of tissues from the MENS SIDE and bring to me, with 2 or 3 men watching him,wondering where and who he was going to take those to, thankfully they were laughing!
This morning, I was sick so he said, " Mom, you can stay home and I will take the kids to school in my Gator. Jadyn can ride in the front with me and Tre` can ride in the back. Really mom. You just stay here. If you give me some money I can get you a pop on the way home" He tried so hard and was dead serious.
I don't know what today will hold but I am sure it will be interesting, he just ate strawberry's covered in sugar like maybe I should say coated in sugar, I seen him look at the strawberries and say, " You call this trouble?!"
I better get off here before he gets into something else!
Love!

The No Name Post
I seen a store called that, " The No Name store" , I have never seen anybody in it or even notice if it was ever open......now that is the kind of random thing you couldn't live without knowing huh...
So Gary is on 2nds this week, I went to bed at 2 am last night cause i couldn't sleep. So I am tired, lonely and I think ready for bed already!
I tried to work on Spring cleaning our yard today, wow was it ever a jungle.....if you know me you know how I like my landscaping to be. Neat. I want it to look clean and like music....it should all just be beautiful each different plant serving a purpose....and coming together to make one beautiful arrangement.
Unfortunately, that is not what it looks like. There is one MONSTER sized bush that has prob been growing for 10 years, they are those cute little bushes people buy thinking it will stay small, then they neglect to trim it. Yeah it is taller than me and it would take 4 of me to wrap my arms around it. It's on the side of the house, thank goodness, so I trimmed that bush, and one in front and another big one in the back and then 4 little ones in the back. I h.a.t.e. bushes....esp randomly placed bushes. I am totally lost on the planning of the current landscape so I am thinking how to make it all blend together nicely....I love landscaping but my body does not.
My chiropractor has me doing a lot of different exercises, that while it is encouraging to know I can do these, my muscle pain is now all over.....I told Gary, "He isn't a Chiropractor, he's a biggest looser coach in disguise!"
or maybe the idea is to get the rest of my body hurting so much that I won't think of my neck pain....;) Whatever, I am sitting here with my foot pressed against my inner thigh muscle trying to relieve some of the pain! What a wimp and out of shape old person I have become in 13 years! lol! Whatever all though I am in pain it is a good pain and if it means the neck pain, lower back issues, and headaches will go away I will keep doing them!
So as you can tell I am boring tonight...I am falling asleep sitting here! I wish you all a happy weekend and hope your church services are wonderful!
Love!

Just a thought
Do you know how some people know it all....or at least in their own eyes. They don't hesitate to tell you they know it all either. It's always the ....how should I say this....the ignorant or stubborn (for lack of a better word) who know it all.
It's one reason I can never be a teacher, you always have that one person who thinks they are smarter than the person who is teaching them...and it's not enough for them to "know" it they want you....and everybody around you to know it as well. Most times, they only prove how wrong they are.....yet oddly enough they themselves NEVER see it.......it's sad really.
I was thinking about that though and I wonder how many times have I told God in action or words that my way was best. Or made the wrong choice and blamed God for the chaos I created, or accused Him of not loving me, not answering my prayers, or something equally stupid.....
I have learned my lessons the hard way but some hurt in my life has not been because I sinned or because God was punishing me for past sins but, because I made a wrong choice, I can't just start smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day and think I will be the one person who is not affected by smoking, I can't drink & become an alcoholic and think I will be the one person who never gets liver cancer.
I can't stop people from making their own choices either. I am not responsible for the actions of others, I am only accountable to God for myself. so after all these thoughts ran through my simple little mind, my prayer was "God, help me to be clay in your hands, to trust you with my Life. Not always second guessing you and taking the clay from you and saying I think it looks better this way or that, and ruing your work of art. Help me to remember no matter what emotions I may be feeling that You really are working everything for my good!"

To My Sons
So, I was cleaning this week and found something I had written a few years back for my son's and never finished it....so yeah you may not enjoy it but hopefully one day after we go through the teenage years they will see how much I love them and understand the reasons and the whys. It's bittersweet in watching them grow, and knowing one day they will become a man, hoping I did all a mother could to make them be a good and Godly man.

"To My Son"
Tears falling down, fear in her heart, she weaved a basket in Love,
All to soon that moment came, she had to let him go.
She laid him inside, kissed her sweet baby Goodbye.
She placed the basket in the water, and as she watched him float away,
I can almost hear her pray
Father of Abraham, O Great I am, watch over my baby boy
If I never get to hold him again, I know he's in your hands
Keep him safe, Make me brave,cause letting go is the hardest thing I've ever done
No matter what Life brings I will love him like only a mother can.
As I watch my son grow, it seems time flies to quickly
We've went from hot wheels to girlfriends in what seems just a day
Soon he will be gone and out on his own, and I worry and fear
like we mothers do, did I teach him all he needs to know
And with a heavy heart I pray,
Heavenly Father, please hold my baby boy,
Be a shelter, when he's going through the storm
When his heart breaks and his world crashes in
Would You be the hand that molds him into a Godly man
And I will love him like only a mother can
