More Conversations From The Weekend....

Hubby - "What do you want to drink?"

Me - "Diet Vanilla Dr. Pepper."

Hubby - "What do you want?"

Little Darling #1 - "Cherry Limeade Slush."

Little Darling #2- "Daddy, what I want?"

Conversations From The Weekend...

Hubby - "That board needs to be turned."

Me - "If I turn that board around, the holes will be on the wrong end. Look at the instructions."

Hubby - "I've looked at the instructions. You have to flip that board so the big holes are at the top."

Me - "If I flip this board, the other holes will not line up."

Hubby - "Just flip the board upside down. See!"

Me - "Oh. Carry on."

DISTRACTIONS OF THE REAL WORLD...IN OTHER WORDS...WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN GOING ON...

Let's see...This week has flown.  Last thing I clearly remember it was Monday and today is Sunday.  Wow Wow Wubbzy.  Monday through Thursday was.....well, work.  Not much more.  Friday, I worked until 2 and picked up Little Darling #2 from daycare early.  We went in search of a floral arrangement for memorial day as hubby's dad served in the military, but was not buried in the National Cemetary.  We found an arrangement that goes over the top of the headstone and a couple little flags to place in it. 

Yesterday...more yawn fest...literally.  I dozed on and off on the couch for 2 hours while trying to get Little Darling #2 to take a nap.  We also purchased a wooden gym set.  We need to start putting it together still.  This should be interesting as hubby and I have two different way of approaching projects.  So there will be more to blog on this topic.

Today was a trip to the cemetery after church as well as running errands hubby forgot to do yesterday.  Gotta love being every one's memory.  One day, I'm going to be reminding everyone to wipe their butts after using the bathroom. 

Tomorrow is off to my parents' house.  It should be interesting as well as more to blog.  Stayed tuned for the new adventures of me!

What Were They Thinking..

As I was agonizing about what to write for my “What Were They Thinking…” post, I remembered the below from our work break room:



When I first saw this little gem, I thought WTW (What the What)! It was not until my drink purchase was stuck that I could truly appreciate the ingenuity of the individual who posted said sign. The story is that the individual who posted the sign was tired of frustrated employees hurling obscenities and coffee mugs at the vending machine.



The trick here is to reach through the opening and slide the ruler between the swinging gate as you use it to nudge your purchase until it falls. While you are attempting this feat, there is a wonderful beeping sound. It is almost like an annoying car alarm. I felt as though I were violating the machine. Seriously, who wants to be poked with a stick, or in this case, a ruler? I kept waiting for the vending police to arrive, arrest me and put me on a vending machine violator list. If this happened, does that mean when I move I have to register as a vending violator and who would I register with? Additionally, would I need to avoid all contact with future vending machines?

Seriously, only in Arkansas to do we post signs telling people how to violate vending machines while getting your purchase unstuck!

More Conversations from the Weekend...

Me - "Give me a kiss goodnight."

Little Darling #2 - "No Mommy.  Not tonight!  Not tonight!"

Hubby - "Did she say what I think she said?"

Me - "Yes.  She practicing for when she is married."

P.S. - I did get my kiss goodnight.

Conversations from the Weekend...

Hubby - "When you left service, I was asleep."

Me - "Yes, you were.  I went to hand you the bulletin and the card that pastor was referencing, but you were asleep.  I put it in my purse and left."

Hubby - "I remember praying and the next thing I know, you were leaving early to help the children's minister.  Why didn't you wake me?"

Me - "I didn't want to spoil the entertainment.  Not my job to keep you awake during service."

DISTRACTIONS OF THE REAL WORLD...IN OTHER WORDS...WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN GOING ON...

What can I say I've been so busy that this snuck by me.  Between the extra hours hubby has been working and the "I know you are sick and I'm here to help keep you caught up" fairies debacle, my life has been on spin cycle for the last week. 

In the meantime, we ran into one of Little Darling #2's daycare buddies at the mall.  The two of them had a blast playing in the play area.  I have discovered Little Darling #2 is not a climber.  I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  The good is that I do not have to nail all the dressers to the walls.  The bad thing is she has no upper body strength.  I'll let you decide.

Thursday was our annual pen pal picnic.  Our business is a partner in education for one of the local elementary schools.  We write letters to 3rd graders all year long and meet them before school ends.  This year due to weather we had to meet in the tornado shelter.  Nothing like 4 3rd grade classes with the same number of adults in a small confined area.  Somewhere there is a video of my "not so firm" body in a potato sack racing my pen pal.  Should you see that video on the Internet, please feel free to delete that sucker.

That's all I've got this week.  Good luck searching for the video.  I'd try my FB friends if you are bored and need something to do.
