New Years Resolutions

1. Lose 10 pounds. I gained ten pounds a little over two years ago the three months that the kids and I lived with my in-laws while our house was being built. Just thinking about that last month living in Lufkin, makes me want to down a dozen doughnuts on the spot. Maybe I just need deliverance.

2. Write one song a month. This one is a joint resolution with Blake. Even if they are so bad, we will never sing/play them for anyone else - we're gonna do it!

3. Not get pregnant - this is actually an on-going life-long resolution

something about me you might not know

It makes me want to gag when the weather people on the news say the air is "soupy" when they are talking about the humidity. Ughh. Shudder

Sassy and Smarty

This morning I was putting sheets on the bed and Hope came in and said, "Why did you not bring me water last night like I asked?" I said to her, "When Daddy checked on you, you were already asleep so I decided not to bring you any." She said, "Well, I could have woke up and been thirsty." I said, "Ok, I'll remember that next time." Then she said to me, "Well you need to learn your manners." I said, "Well you need to watch your mouth." (while I tried my best not to laugh)

We were in the bathroom at the library and Hope came out of her stall and let out a loud burp. I looked at her sternly and said, "Hope!" She said, "What, you didn't know young ladies could burp?" (no comment from me as I again...tried my best not to laugh)

On the way home in the car this afternoon I was teaching the kids what groups of animals were called: fish - school, cows - herd, birds - flock, ect.... and then I was asking them what baby animals were called: cats - kittens, sheep -lambs, bears - cubs ect... and then I said, "What do you think a baby snake is called?" Hope said, "A snakelet" I said, "What do you think, Camden?" He said, "A hissy?" I can't decide which is my favorite....
