Randomness

I love having my kids at home. I read a blog post recently (and my apologies to the author...I can't remember which blog it was) about making our homes into havens. Too often I get busy and forget how important that is...not just for the children or visitors, but also for Hank and me as we're usually the only ones here. I pray that our kids will always WANT to come back home because they feel happy and loved...NOT just out of obligation.

Still LOVING my Saturn Vue, by the way.

Watching American Idol...not sure about this version of "Ring of Fire" by Adam Lambert. He's a great performer but I'm betting that Johnny Cash is spinning in his grave about now.

If we don't get my mother and Ned settled soon I'm going to weigh a ton. Thank goodness I'm not a big drinker or I'd be SLOSHED all the time.

I'm taking a day off on Thursday to take care of some things for mother and to spend a little bit of quality time with Lorelai. I think that means that we'll be shopping for a new outfit for her Friday night date with our Citadel cadet!! He wanted to "friend" me on Facebook and she wouldn't let him. She NEVER lets me have any fun!!

  4. Truly, you should write this, your story and have a movie made.
    I love the randomness of it all.
    Good luck getting all your friends to "friend" you, even the ones who sometimes do not act the way you want them too.

  5. We used to call them bellhops when they wore the grey uniforms. I too hope my children will want to come back home and not feel like they have to. I have had several friend requests on FB that I wasn't sure about.

  6. Funny about the facebook thing--Your daughter is a cutie and I'm sure she had lots of fun at the dance.
    I hope you have a wonderful day today!

  7. My brother and I laughed and said the same thing about Johnny Cash and Adam's rendition of the song!
    Hope you have a good day Thursday. God bless.

  8. That is the exact same thing I said to Jason after that perfomance. It kind of freaked us out a little.

    Have a great day on Thursday.

  9. So agree about making one's home a haven for your children. I'm lucky enough to have two guest rooms and one is devoted to my two precious grandchildren!

    Hang in there!

  12. I feel better that I am not allowed to be Facebook friends with my daughter's boyfriend. I thought I was the only mom in that predicament.

  14. I was think the same thing about Adam Lambert. Don't know what it is about him but I just can't like him. Maybe it's the nail polish?

  16. I'm an Adam fan...and I love watching him perform...but that was just one big ole mess! I turned to my hubby and said.."Simon is going to call that an indulgent mess" and sure enough he did...and I had to agree. He's lucky he didn't get booted for that! I felt bad to see Alexis Grace go...I thought she would last longer. Dang I'm so addicted to that stupid show lol
