Hubby’s Home
OK, the song My Boyfriend’s Back just ran through my head right now. Love it!
Well, hubby’s home from his business trip. Bear and I was so happy to see him. I was glad to get my cook back also.
Let’s see, the First night hubby was gone Bear and I went out to eat with our friends, Kristen and Bridgette. I love me some Jason’s Deli.
The second night I heated up the chicken pot pie hubby had made for us.
Third night, I made spaghetti. Bear walked in the kitchen, gasp for air as she announced; Mom, you cooked this all by yourself, I am so proud of you!
Yes, I impressed a seven-year-old with my cooking skills.
Fourth night, Taco Bell baby! My knee was bothering me.
Fifth night, my knee was hurting pretty bad. Amy (Bless her heart) picked up Bear from school and let her hang out with Mallory while I laid on the couch and tried to rest my knee. Amy feed Bear dinner. I picked up some soup from McAlister’s and rented a movie.
Sixth night, my mom and dad took Bear and I to Jason’s Deli. Told you I loved me some Jason’s Deli. Bear had asked for pizza rolls that night but mom and dad had already invited us to go to Jason’s. Bear even told me how to make the pizza rolls, you know incase I did not know how to cook them.
Here are the directions for making pizza rolls, according to my seven-year-old daughter. Get a pan, put the pizza rolls on the pan, put them in the oven, get my table out, place it in front of the TV and I will watch TV while the pizza rolls are cooking. Nice try, Bear!
Welcome back hubby!
A Little Odd To Me
Last Sunday as Brad, Bear and I were strolling through Target, Bear was playing with one of her many Silly Bandz she was wearing. Bear decided to wear all of them to church that morning. YES, all forty of them, separated by colors and displayed equally on each arm.
As we were strolling along in Target, Bear shows Brad one of her orange Silly Bandz of a guy playing a guitar. Brad then turns to me with a funny look on his face and asks me to look it.
OK, I have seen all of Bear’s Bands before. Heck, I’ve bought most of them for her. As I took a quick glance at the band in question, something struck me as, let’s just say, odd. I know it is completely innocent and that is in no way what the company had intended hubby and I to think – but it is still a little odd looking to me.
Or could it be that Hubby and I have our minds in the gutter?
What do you thing?

Stupid Knees
OK ladies, I would like to share two things I have learned from past experiences.
1) Never step over a gate, no matter how low it may seem. Hubby would add to this statement: Always listen to your husband. As much as it pains me to admit. Brad was right, I should have listened to him. He told me that I was going to hurt myself stepping over that gate one day. Here I am ten months later and my knee is giving me problems AGAIN!
2) Don’t stay with a Dr. who does not have your best interests in mind. The doctor I first went to after dislocating my knee was, for lack of better words, a DUD! What’s that? Why did I not switch Doctors? That’s easy, Try getting into a specialist as a new patient. I did not have that kind of time. My knee starting bugging me again about a month ago and I decided it was time to find a new doctor.
I am happy to report, the new doctor is not a dud at all. Let me just say, God bless the woman that gave birth to this kind, intelligent doctor who has great people skills and perfect bedside manners!
I’m looking forward to a speedy recovery, I hope.
For those of you who don't know, this is what I did to my knee last October. I can honestly say, No more stepping over gates for me!
Stupid Knee!

Yes, The Name Fits
Lets see……….
My knee hurts, the one that I dislocated back in October. My other knee is hurting, seems I have runner’s knee in it. I don’t feel like doing anything. I am totally out of hormone patches and I feel somewhat depressed.
YES, I am Moody today!
Wordless Wednesday: Fun with Cousins
Bear had her first multi-girl sleep over since getting her new bunk bed. Cousins Savannah and Kalia join in on the bunk bed fun – hiding under it.

YES, I finally got a photo of Kalia. Bear assisted by holding up the dust ruffle.
Kalia finally gave up and let me take her photo, kinda.

My husband is leaving me
Hubby is leaving me for a six night business trip to do some job training. Bear and I will miss him for those long six nights. It is just not the same without him.
As most of you know hubby is the cook in the house. He is so worried that Bear and I will starve or that I will spend too much money eating out every night while he is gone. I told Brad he should be allowed to expense my restaurant bills while he is gone – his job is taking my chef.
Hubby and I sat down and worked out a menu for me to cook while he is gone. Hubby also went to the store and bought all the ingredients. If time allows, hubby is going to precook some dinners for me to heat up while he is gone. YEP, he’s a keeper!
Not only is Brad the cook of the house he is also the boogieman preventer. I am some what of a chicken and I don’t like to be in the house at night by myself.
Usually if he is not there during the night, every light in the house is on. I told hubby he should be allowed to expense the light bill while he is gone also. Yes, I am a weenie!
Not only is hubby the cook and the boogieman preventer, he is the official bug squasher at the Hanry House. Bear and I hate bugs and refuse to touch them.
Oh, and let’s not forget……..hubby is also my official alarm clock. I tend to ignore the alarm clock in the mornings and wake up to hubby shouting at me to GET UP!
Ladies, please give a shout up for me the next six nights. Pray that I will be able to do all the cooking (and that the food is edible), cleaning, errands, taking care of the kid, getting to work on time, that I don’t run up a big light bill or that Bear and I do not get eaten by a giant flesh eating bug while my man is gone.
Can I get an AMEN?
My baby Is A Second Grader Now
Summer is over and kids around Central Arkansas are either starting school for the first time or returning to school to a new grade and new teacher. Rebecca is in second grade now. Wow, hard to believe my baby is already in second grade.
Rebecca has been saying for weeks that she is not ready to go back to school. She thinks second grade is going to be too hard.
Her attitude changed from anxiety to excitement when she was getting ready for her school’s open house Wednesday night. She wore her favorite dress, picked out the prefect jewelry to match her outfit and wanted me to fix her hair. She never wants me to fix her hair.
After Rebecca was dressed and ready to go, I told her that the other children may not be dressed up as much as she was. Her response was “The other kids just don’t know how to greet their teachers with fashion.” That’s my sassy girl! I may have a future diva on my hands.
While we were pulling out of the driveway to head to open house, she asked me what teacher I voted for her to get. Is there some sort of voting system I did not know about? Nope, just my sassy girl again.
I meet Rebecca’s second grade teacher for the first time Wednesday night. I was more then pleased with her new teacher. She seems like such a pleasant person. I think Rebecca is in very good hands.
Have a great school year Rebecca, Mommy and Daddy love you!

Bear was so excited, they have desks for the second graders.
Bear and Tootie are sitting very close to each other this year. I already warned the teacher that they are buddies and there may be talking.
Bear's other buddy. I already warned the teacher about them being buddies also. Look, talking already. I bet one of them gets moved soon.
They talked the entire time I was there and they were still talking after the bell rung. Oh yeah, they are so getting moved for talking.
