And Kind. Don't forget Kind.

I found this on one of our tables. (Don't look at the mess in the room.)
I hope it came from the goodness of the Big Guy's heart and not a subtle hint for his parents.

Umen Mitt

The Big Guy back when he was little. I found this picture and remembered how fascinated he was with "umen mits". I think I might have actually been baking back in those days where he would see them a lot. I'm sure Baby Girl doesn't know what one is. She is too interested in her shoes anyway.

Floods

Wow. That picture is really small. Oh well. We are fine down here in Georgia. I can't say the same for a lot of people. A few miles away things are bad. We must be on a hill.

Dreaming of the Beach

Not really. Today I am happy enough to be lazy at home and not do anything. I would like some more of that chocolate ice cream, though. It I had it I wouldn't share with Baby Girl this time.

No Title Because I Can't Think of One

The good news is that I found my little camera this morning. I most definitely will download all my summer pictures from it at least by week after next. If I get around to it, that is.

That bad news is that the picture you have to look at now is from May 2005 (I am totally guessing). It is Jane Fonda at the Fox Theater. I think this is my first celebrity post and possibly my last (unless you count my ramblings about the Bachelorette...and did you see that guy had a girlfriend(s)!!!!!).

I know about the white shoes but not sure about popsicles

Posting a few summery pics before Labor Day gets here. Is it okay to post Popsicles after Labor Day?

Come out, Papa Smurf

Look at these mushrooms. Weird.

Still here

Hi. It is me. I am still in the world.

This is just a post to let you know I am alive using the only picture I had on my desktop. I haven't downloaded pictures of my own kids in over a month. TERRIBLE. I know. When I do I can make up for lost time and post 15 times in one week.

Lots of life going on here - trying to keep up with it. :-)

My husband told me tonight that next year when our oldest is 9, he will be half way through his time living with us in our house (theoretically, right?). I started crying. It was really eye-opening for me.

Wordless Wednesday

Thank goodness I don't have to say anything.

Back to the Real World

Who knew 7:30 AM could be so bright for a little guy. When I look at this, I think "why didn't I give them a haircut before they started school?" Now I am wishing I had taken more pictures of the Little Guy since it was his first day of school (Kindergarten). I have a few but wish his eyes were open.

Things are going swimmingly well (as my 11th grade History teacher used to say). We are very blessed to have two great teachers this year for the boys.

Baby Girl has started Parents Morning Out. On her second time there she got a violation notice for "scratching and pinching". I really thought she was going to be the sweet one.

Oh well.

We All Scream

for Ice Cream

You know where that that cone is going to end up, don't you? I can only imagine what he is saying to her.

How do you like the green Crocs? Totally got my money's worth out of those shoes. He will wear them until they are completely dead. There will be no passing them down with the toes busting through and strap missing off one back. The pink Crocs are way too big for her but make it easy for her to put them on herself. I need a break after the 8th shoe change of the day and need her to do it herself. She also wears the green Crocs around the house. She isn't too picky about her shoes as long as she has a variety to choose from.

Fat A and my Facebook Issue

So here is an interesting little story for you. My High School reunion just recently passed and I skipped it for many reasons. I was happy enough to see pictures on Facebook. It was good to see some people and many of them I just didn't remember at all. My class was over 600 so I may not have known many of them then and certainly don't now. Most of the boys look like my Dad. Sad.

One of the guys I see commenting on pictures on FB is this guy that used to pick on me a lot in 8th grade. I was new and he would do really dumb stuff like turn my desk around before I got into class. I think that was probably the worst thing he did. If I had been a hot (or even cute) 13 year old I might look back and think he was trying to flirt with me. He was not. He wasn't really cute at all but fancied himself a real cool guy. I should add that he was a bean pole and maybe his height gave him some advantage to his so called coolness? I don't have any specific memory of him in high school so I guess we never crossed paths. Anyway, I was pretty pleased to see him in this picture below:


Austin Powers keeps coming to mind.I don't know if that is a hat, wig or real hair (for both pictures of both men).

So here is the rest of the story. This guy sees me commenting on mutual friends' pictures and even makes the comment back to me "yeah, we missed you, Lisa." Huh? Do you even remember me, Fat Bastard? It gets better. He sends a friend request to me. What? He surely doesn't remember me if he thinks we are friends? I waited for about a week and thought about it. I didn't really want to be his friend even though comments indicate he may be a changed man. I decide I am curious and don't want to be the person that holds a grudge over something that happened so long ago and accept. His profile wasn't interesting at all. No personal pictures or information so really - what is the point.

It gets even BETTER!

Today I realized (I don't even know how) that he has Un-friended me! What the...

So I ask you, what is that all about? Did he take a look at my stuff and un-friend me? Did he remember me and get the heck out of Dodge? I hope so.

Thoughts?
