My Girls' Vacations
On Thursday, my sister-in-law, Brenda & her children came over for a visit. We had already made plans that she would take Madi home with her so she could spend a week with several of her cousins. I took off to McMinnville to get a much needed massage, so didn't get to give Madi that "one last hug"! She was off to East TN to have a vacation with family. I am happy for her, as children need breaks from time to time just like we parents.
Today, Lexi's vacation plans were carried out. She has been anticipating for weeks now her trip to Mt. Juliet with her best friend, Juliet, and her grandparents. We went to church this morning and then I took her to lunch in Cookeville. Afterward, we met "Grandma T", and Lexi was off on her adventure.
Who knows what this week will hold with myself and my boys? I am going to try to make it a fun time.

The Unauthorized Haircut
Well, today has been quite eventful so far! The boys were left unsupervised for a little bit while I was working in the office. They were in the shed and when I went to check on them, Josiah had a big blob of candle wax stuck in his blonde locks! So, I'm thinking, guess I'll have to cut it out! (Gasp!) You all know how I feel about his hair!! Well, I got it combed out a bit and washed it real good in the bath, but it was still a little sticky! I went back to work and left the boys playing in Jake's room. You know that's not the end of the story, right?
...I went in to check on my boys and to my astonishment, I found locks of beautiful blonde hair on Lexi's bed. I guess you shouldn't leave a 5 year old in charge of his little brother! Needless to say, I was very upset and Jake got the paddle! So, now Josiah kind of has a mullet...Welcome to Tennessee, right? lol Just kidding, we love it here!
More to come (I'm sure!) ...

As many of you know, I started a cooking business a few weeks ago. Last Thursday we had a nice thunderstorm here and the power went out briefly. I had already made my desserts for a catering event, thank goodness, because after the power outage, my oven went on the fritz! It decided not to heat up all the way! My clients for the evening had to finish cooking their food at home! Terrible right? That's not the end! I used my oven again and it seemed fine, so I thought, well maybe it was just something to do with a breaker.
Today was a really good day - up until about 2:00. I made some yummy chicken salad and started preparing my meals for this evening. "Mema" was up visiting. I was ready to put my entree in the oven and what do you think happened? That's right!! Oven pooped out!! Luckily, I have the best Mother-in-law in the world because she took my food to her house and cooked it for me! I ended up taking everything over there to finish it off for my clients! The food was delivered and it was piping hot!
It seems when things go bad, you can always see a blessing coming out of it. We are getting a second oven to help out in the business. Kathy has one she is giving to us to use! She is a blessing to me, not just because she helps me, but because she has given me a friend! We have a lot of fun together, talking and joking, and just being ourselves!

Life Blog - New Idea
Ok, so I went to see Julie and Julia last night with Kathy (my Mother-in-law) and we had a great time. This morning, she suggested I start a blog on something. We decided it would be a fun thing to look back on over the months. The subject? Our life! So many silly things happen to us every day! Some might be just ordinary stressful situations, or really funny things. Here goes...
Last night, during the movie, she wanted to eat a piece of candy ( we had smuggled in ). She was trying to conceal it with her purse while opening. She proceeds to dig in with her thumbnail and I hear her mutter, "What in the world?!?". She thought she was getting a Starburst when she was actually beheading a Snickers bar. She is smelling her finger and biting chocolate out of her thumbnail. For some reason (this might not be as funny to you, but as they say, you had to be there!) this sent us into a fit of laughter! We laughed so hard I thought we were going to have to make a trip to the bathroom!! This went on for a few minutes. She practically cried and we could not breathe!
Her shoes felt very uncomfortable and she expressed to me that she thought she might have two different shoe sizes on. So, I am holding them up, comparing them, and sure enough, they were different! I guess you never know what you are going to get on the clearance rack! She put them on and rested her feet on the bar in front of us. One side was obviously bigger than the other one! Did we laugh again? You bet, another fit of laughter that left her crying and me almost wetting myself. All of this before the previews even began!
