On a Day Like Today

On a day like today, I wish I was somewhere else...

Whether it be a memory,

a person,

a song, 

a smell...

in my mind I am somewhere else.

I just spent an entire 7 days with my brother and sister-n-law.

Can't tell you when the last time that happened.

It hasn't been since we were both single and there were no kids running around.

I s'pose my reminiscent mood has to do because of that.

It was SO GOOD to have him around!!!

I cried when he left.

On a day like today, I want to go back to an easier time.

a more innocent time

a time 

where my mom was

when I was the kid that was being taken care of

On a day like today, I find my mind on reverse in fast motion

going back to when I was in school

looking forward to summer.

On a day like today, I am thankful for memories.

for good memories

for songs that make me remember

for smells that I will never forget 

and for precious family 

whether they are here on earth with me or in Heaven.

I Need Chiseling! How Bout You???

Profound!
Don't forget to turn off the music below
before you push play!

What a wonderful way to spend $7!!!

That would be 2 trips to Starbucks!!!

You can get some free music from FFH 

and a free Tshirt for helping children!!

Please go here and be a part of my 

Mocha Club!!!

Thanks!!!!

Mommy Make Over

Today at school was Mommy Make Over!  It was a pre-Mother's Day gift for us!

I arrived this afternoon and was welcomed into a transformed cafeteria by dimmed lights, soft music and a special chair just for me. After waiting just a little while, my stylist, Kye, arrived and handed me a "menu" to choose what procedure I would undergo.

Hair

Makeup

Massage

Manicure

Pedicure

I had it all!!!

He was so excited and super proud!

Wanting me to look my best, I received several rounds of blush, lipstick and eye shadow.

My toenails have never felt so wet before! ;)

Me and My Stylist

My Manicure in lovely purple

My Pedicure

My Makeup! Had some great eyes, goin' on!!! =)

When we were through, he presented me with a card with his toothless picture on the front of it and inside were a few things that he thought of about me. That is what follows:

My mother is the most wonderful Mom in the whole world!

She's as pretty as "a diamond."

She weighs "14" pounds.

She is "6 feet" tall.

Her favorite food is "soup."

Her favorite T.V. show is "Dancing with the Stars."

When my mom was little, she used to "pick flowers."

I think my mom looks funny when she "jumps on the trampoline."

I know my mom is angry when "I hurt Kru."

I wish my Mom and I could "go to the zoo" together everyday.

I wouldn't trade my mom for "my DS."

How sweet! And humorous!!!!!

May Memory Verse

"Though you have not seen Him,

you love Him; and even though

you do not see Him now, you 

believe in Him and are filled

with an inexpressible and

glorious joy."
