The day in a nutshell.....

 

I recieved a card from my mom......it had pictures of boobs and the song:

Do your Boobs hang low

Do they wobble too and fro

Can you tie them in a ribbon

Can you tie them in a bow

Can you throw them over your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier

Do your boobs hang low......

 

inside it said:

 

That song isn't as funny as is used to be...huh!

 

No Mom, it isn't!!

These were some items from my pals at work.

I told Boyd I wanted a watch with a big face.........he listened.......I love it

If I get too blind to be able to tell the time in this bad-boy,

I will be in no shape to care what time it is.

We headed over for a smothered burrito (my birthday request) We happened to sit

by these peeps.  Harmony used to nanny for them.  Aria was just a few months old

when she started.  She';s 9 now......so cute.  The were just finishing up and left. 

Later our waiter.....the fabulous and handsome "Ernesto" told us that Matt had paid

for our dinner.   Yeah....Happy Birthday to me.....

These are birthday cards that the Lloyd Boys made for me....along with a reeses peanut

butter cup.....chocolate............peanut butter...................ummmmmmm

 

This is the smothered burrito...with cheese....double beans....no rice...perfection.

When I got home I added my watch to my collection...............this is sort of kooky

I took about 8 of my favorites to the watch shop and had batteries put in them.

But my new one is my favorite...I think I have about 25-30.  I need to purge most

of them and keep the best.  I have a Minnie Mouse that says "Miss Fabulous" on the

face.....Love it, I have an old Mickey Mouse "Steamboat Willie" watch that I love

too.  Oh, shoot, maybe I won't be able to purge as many as I should..........I

do love my new one....she fits right in.

 

Gulp.......yes......I'm...............................

 

 

 

Why does my face look 55 but

inside my head I feel like I did when I

was 25......what's up with that.

So, I'm 55 and I'm ok with that!

What a week...............

Saturday September 29th started out at the movie theatre

with the Lloyd Boys watching the much anticipated

 "Hotel Translyvania". 

They were loving it.........

Later that afternoon we received a call from a motorist that was behind this car.

The car belongs/belonged to Harmony.

This wonderful person told us that she pulled over and was able to provide comfort until

the paramedics were on the scene and took her

to the hospital.

Nothing makes your heart lurch more than walking

into an ER and them telling you: 

"Your daughter is in trauma bay 3, a crisis worker

will come and speak to you."

All kinds of scenarios were playing out in my

head, none of them were good. 

These are some pictures that are appropriate for a blog. 

She has severe bruising where her seat belt was.

In fact, I didn't know that the

body could bruise the way she has bruised.

The airbags from both sides depolyed and she

had some burns on her chin.

I have pictures but they will

not be on this blog.

This "Bride of Frankenstein" stitched gash is wonderful for the

Halloween season.

Harmony was released from the

Hospital on
Sunday the 30th with no head or spine

injuries, which we are feeling like

it is our own private miracle.

I know Heavenly Father was watching

out for her, and I feel very blessed.

Fast forward to this weekend.

Boyd cleaned out the hot tub and

filled her up................yeah for me.

Here are some tomatoes out on the deck

that are hanging in there hoping they

get to ripen.

The rest of this weekend was spent watching General Conference.

My heart was full of gratitude to Heavenly Father for the

many blessings he has given me.  I have determined to

be a better person, one who deserves the abundance that

has been laid at my feet.

TO OKC AND THE TAYLOR TOTS................

Hannah's class had a chalk art contest.  They had a week to get their art completed.  The teacher was driving around and taking pictures of random homes (She came to Pioneer Circle in Edmond and saw this) after it was completed the student was to take a picture and submit it to the school, and then the judging would be completed and winners announced Friday September 28. 
(I've got my fingers crossed that she wins)  
Megan had a recipe for home made sidewalk chalk paint using water, cornstarch and food coloring.

This took Megan, myself, Hannah, Milo and Samantha (neighborhood friend) about 3 hours.  That's about 12 cups of cornstarch...............................it was pretty awesome.

"Tots" take swim lessons at the neighborhood YMCA, Hannah has a really, really, really darling

swim instructor...............I'm just sayin'.................

She's so dang cute, all smiles and giggles and full of fun
as only 7 year old girls can be full of. 

Viv and Milo are in the same class, they love the water,

no fear....all smiles.

Their instructor was just "average mom" ---hahahahahaha

I tried to get into to the locker......only my thigh would fit.....

KRISPY KREME.....................'nuf said.

The spRinKleS GrosS me out, but eveRy kId LoVes tHeM

We went to Dinner on Friday night to "Fish City"

Even though OKC is hundreds of miles from the ocean

The fish was dang good.

The Taylors moved from The Village in OKC to Edmond............about 10 miles north-ish.

It is down a country road with 4-way stops
and cows and fences and trees and bushes

and hay fields and
and hawks eating carrion,
and long horned steers
and horses and everything  country..... and flat.

This is the view from the parking lot at Hannah's school.

Flat.................I kept asking "which way are we going"

Another view...........
I got so turned around with no

mountains to mark my location.........
(I can get lost in a phone booth, so the Mountains

don't always help me!!)

This is what a "walk-a-thon" looks like when you are in

Pre-K.....just hangin' with your

homies and doing the chicken dance,

and strutting with Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA"

and gyrating to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and many more fun songs......I was so glad I could be there and see this cutie.

What's a walk-a-thon without a cute little blonde cheerleader on the sidelines rooting for you and smiling that smile!

And what about stopping for a water break with a very handsome

pal....(Joshua)

who just happens to let you

in on his style secrets....

always pop you collar when wearing a golf shirt!!!

(you can never start too early with fashion tips)

I'm not sure Joshua would wear a

super-hero T-shirt....just sayin'

This 7 year old girl wanted a manicure.........I painted these nails......

red with white dots.........so 2nd grade chic!

All that chalk art did a number on her hands.

Reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" 

Every kid I know loves these books. 

Best of all.............the Taylors have a new family member..........
Miss Apple

She's house broke, sweet, quite, low-energy...................

Milo LOVES her...

so much..........................not sure I've met a boy who
needed and wanted a dog more than
Milo..his first love affair.

This is NOT the "stink-eye"

It has worked out that on most of my trips to OKC, the day I leave we eat at Taco Bueno (becuase it's more bueno)

It's really just a jazzed up Taco Bell................

Me and the Vivvers................

Milo took this picture of me and my posse...............

See next trip................next year *sob*  *sigh*
