Turmoil

I just read this article and it put me in a bit of turmoil. Te article does not say exactly what the new case is gogin to try to change but why would anyone not want everyone to have the right to vote? I do not understand this.

Intent

I just spoke with Porter's social worker, she said she has a paper for us to sign. A letter of intent to adopt. Yeah! We are getting closer!

Sucker

The other day I was at Wal Mart. This in itself is generally an ordeal, no? I felt awful but we needed some food. Or rather I needed some cravings filled. :) First I see a couple of my friends. Great. I looked horrible. I mean HORRIBLE. I felt the same. Allori and I got our shopping done then proceded to the check out. There was one lady in front of me and as I was behind her for a good 5 minutes she never interacted with anyone nor was there a child near her.

I heard a bit of commotion right behind us near the candy rack, so we glanced over naturally. There was a little girl about Allori's age with one of those push pops IN HER MOUTH! She made eye contact with me and the look in her eye let me know she knew she was being naughty. I was momentarily stunned. The second or two we were looking at one another seemed to drag on, I didn't know what to do.

The woman in front of me finished and called out a name, a child I supposed even though there had been no clues that they were connected before that. When I finally made the connection I said to the woman, "she's over here, and she has a sucker in her mouth!" She promply walked over as the child removed said sucker from her mouth, replaced the lid and threw it onto the shelf and dropped the little plastic wrapper onto the floor. The mother glanced for *maybe* a second at the shelf then exasperatedly pulled the girl's arm to get her stand up then led her to their basket and out of the store.

In case the cashier missed it, I told her the girl had sucked on the sucker and then threw it back onto the shelf. (It would obvioulsy need to be found and removed-yuck!)

Something tells me the girl learned it was ok to open candy in the store, if she didn't already know...to do as she pleased.

I Thank God my daughter is well behaved and obedient. What a fine example of how not to parent.

Pay it forward

What's on sale?

So this morning I was telling Allori she would probably be having a party for Valentine's Day on Friday at school and asked what she would like to take. I also told her that for the boys party, I was going to send them with oranges and Animal Crackers. (Yes, I am the mother that sends mostly healthy stuff.) I asked if she would like to take the same things. First she was trying to describe something red to me-but not strawberries. Finally she says..."Mom, lets just see what's on sale." Hahahahah. I love her! What 4 year old wants to see what's on sale? I have tried to teach her what I am doing and why I do it, so I guess she has been learning. Too funny!

full of funny

You know...we need laughter. We do. It keeps us sane right? I have determined that i do not laugh enough. I used to be known for laughing...giggling, generally being quite pleasant (you know, mostly)....don't you think....some of you who have known me a long time?

So I had a pretty good laugh yesterday and need to share it with you. It's just one of those things that need to be shared.

I had a question to ask a member of the Bishopric at church so i shot him off a quick Email. Here is what I sent in it's entirety:

Hello. Is there any update on tithing slips from sunport?

End of email. Response I received:

Bishop Garrett has them. Hope you are all feeling better.

Seems fairly straight forward right? Well because both emails were so short I could see upon his response my short email which was right there on the screen. However I had made a rather obvious typo that unfortunately I missed until this point. Here is how my email actually read:

Hell. Is there any update on tithing slips from sunport?

Hahahaha. Oh my gosh. Seriously? I had to make THAT typo to a member of the bishopric? Really? I laughed until I nearly peed. Too funny. I did email him and apologize for my brazen foolishness. He laughed and said he had made worse curses by accident.
