I'VE BEEN TAGGED!!
My friend Adrielle tagged me. What is that? Read on.
The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their 8 things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
So my 8 random facts:
1. I LOVE motorcycles!! (especially Harley's) There is something about them that make my adrenaline pump. When I was in high school my dad bought a Harley. Where he was, there you would find me sitting on the back of the bike. We took many road trips and was a special time for us. After Mike and I got married, we bought a motorcycles also. It was just amazing to pack a bag and go up to Arkansas for the weekend. However, when Ashley came along, Mike decided it was time to sell it and be at home. I was not happy about this decision, but would I have been happy stuck at home with a small baby while he was off riding every weekend. NO. So in hindsight, not only was Mike being a good daddy, he prevented us from having some arguments. Smart thinking Mike.
2. I am scared of steep declines when I am in a car, either driver or passenger. There is no reason that I should be, UNLESS my parent rolled me down a hill when I was little and never told me. I have always felt that I would loose control of my vehicle and roll down. STUPID...I know.
3. I've wanted to be a doctor for years. What kind of doctor? Anesthesiologist or Forensic Pathologist. There is only a couple of issues that I have with this now. Mainly having small children, the money, and time commitment it would take. Otherwise...
4. I need someone to show me how to organize my house. As I sit here in my sun room/office right now, I would totally be embarrassed if someone were to show up. My goal within the next two weeks is to get rid of some of this "stuff" and buy organizer boxes or whatever you are suppose to buy to make this room not so cluttered. If you have any tips that work well for you, let me know about them.
5. I would love to have the courage to sing in front of a large group of people and "rock the house". There are so many singers in my family on all sides. Music has been such a wonderful part of my life. Therefore, I change the radio / CD to fit the mood that I am in. The majority of the time I do listen to Christian music. I feel my voice is average at best and have never taken the opportunity to take voice lessons. So, occasionally my voice is not under control. Maybe one day.
6. I am currently doing a precepts Bible study and it is just amazing the stuff that is in this best selling book of all times. There are funny stories, sad stories, stories to make you feel good, stories to tell your friends, etc. I mean, everything you need is RIGHT THERE! If you are like me, I love people with a sense of humor. Let me tell you, God has a sense of humor. If you don't believe me, Read it. Find out for yourselves.
7. Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Shoes, purses, jewelry! Are y'all catching my drift?
8. I am a proud new blog spot parent to my cousin Gretta and my sister Sabrina. It is about time you girls get up to speed with the rest of us cars on the information super highway. Now you two are tagged. HA! and much love.

THIS & THAT
Well, the new school year is off to a great start. I am so glad we are back into a routine and getting things done. Since school has started, I have cleaned behind my washer, dryer, and refrigerator. What a disgusting mess!!!! On the agenda for today...I have already cleaned up some stuff outside and I think I am going to do the touch up work in my bathroom. I am tired of that hanging over my head.
Pay had a great day at MDO yesterday. He normally is crying and throwing a fit because he wants to stay with me. I can't blame the kid. I would want to stay with me also ;-) What keeps him from loving it? Keaten is not there (cousin). He says that he doesn't want any other friends. Only Keaten!! But, yesterday he walked right in and looked for his cubby, put his lunch in, and went and played!! Is this a one time thing, or will it be like this every T&Th? I hope the latter.
After I dropped him off, I had several errands to run and was going to get some donuts. For some reason, I swung by WeightWatchers to see when the next meeting was. It just so happened that one was about to start. So what did I do?? Got donuts after I joined. LOL! You who are reading this are the only ones who know that I joined so far. Why? because my family will be watching my every move (mainly one named Ashley)!! Plus, I want to see how much I can loose without all of the pressure.
OK, so now I need some help from you all. Monday the 17th Mike and I will be married for 13 years. Oh My Gosh!! What would be a good gift for Mike? I always buy him clothes or a watch etc... because that is what I would like to have. Besides that, he is always in need of new clothes or a watch. Maybe I should buy him some more glasses. The ones we bought after his wreck have been lost. (How do you lose glasses?) Y'all give me some ideas for gifts.

A TRIBUTE TO CHRIS HENDERSON
DECEMBER 29, 1971 AUGUST 25, 2007
Chris on the drums at
Mike's house.
Chris, Kip, and John
Chris escorting Cecile
Ronny, Mike, and Chris
Dona, Ronny, and Chris
What a Motley Crew!!
Daylen, Mike, Chris, and Kip
in Arlington
As I have been thinking about Chris over the past couple of days my mind has "classified" him as Mike's friend. On the way home from Mt Pleasant it dawned on me that Chris was my friend as well. I have known him since my high school years. He was one of those guys that was always there. When we would go back to east Texas we would always see him.
The best summer of my life was right after my friend Denise and I graduated from high school. Mike and Chris were always together and Denise and I were inseparable. It was only fitting that when I started dating Mike that Denise would date Chris. Not hard to do because he was such a cutie and his attitude and arrogance were so entertaining. We were devoted friends and where one or two were on the weekend, there you would find all four of us.
My first job was at Pizza Inn in Kilgore and they would come eat almost every Friday night. Then they would go across the street to Sonic, where Denise worked and get something there. When the two of us got off of work, we would meet up with them. The majority of the time we would find them at Mike's house "jamming".
The last time I seen him, he came to Waco to stay with us for a week. It was so nice to have him here making me laugh. He was in several accidents the previous year and having some ongoing issues with that. Just letting him hang out while we were working did good things for him. During that week he went and bought a Bible and some Christian Music. When he got back home, he continued to study and started going to church on a regular basis.
I'll see you in Heaven Chris.
Love Ya!!

First day of Fourth Grade!!
Wow, how my baby has grown into a beautiful girl. I can not believe that she is already in fourth grade!! Ashley had a great day at school today. She says that her teacher is nice and loves Mickey Mouse. She has an A+ in my book already. This year the kids start to change classes and I remember how "grown-up" I felt when I got to change classes. It is amazing how much change happened over the summer.
Pay and I had a good day together, but he wanted to go get sissy. I insisted that she needed to stay at school to learn her letters and numbers. He was ok with that, but still wanted to call her and did not understand why we could not call and disturb her.
Mothers Day Out will start after the holiday and I am ready, but just don't know what I will do with my time. Don't get me wrong. It is not because I don't have plenty to do. Quite the contrary. I just don't know where to start.
Y'all keep Mike (and me) in your prayers over the next couple of days. We will be traveling to Mt. Pleasant to attend a funeral of a long time friend who died on Saturday. His name was Chris and in his mid 30's. Please lift his family up as well as I am sure the pain the are feeling is a heavy burden to carry. Mike is having an extremely hard time dealing with the reality of the death of his friend. He did ask Chris some time ago if he was a Christian, and Chris said that he did invite Christ into his life. But you know, most of the time people still think about what they could have done differently, and if they would have done it their loved one "might" still be alive.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2
Our small HSM2 party was a hit. Bethann and Candice came over and the whole spread of everything you don't want your child to eat prior to going to bed was set before them. Even Payton joined in on the fun. They were so hyper that I couldn't hear the movie!!! With every song and dance number, the girls and Pay were up dancing, jumping, and posing. It was a lot of fun for us all!
Mike was commenting on how big the premier of this movie was and that there were probably more parties on Friday night than there was for the Super bowl. For those of you who have children old enough or young enough to be excited about this movie, how many of them were at a party or had a party at home?
