WhooHoo Yaddie Yaddie Whippee Yeah!

We’re leaving early tomorrow for a week of camping, expect no posting from me. Amy won’t be joining us till Monday so if you’re lucky you may get a few from her.

Have a fabulous week!

OH, and Happy 40th Anniversary Jerry and Twanda!
We love you so! Wish we could have been there for the grand celebration. Maybe we’ll be there for the 50th

If I wasn’t suffering from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome) I might have taken part in BooMama’s Bloggy Tour of Homes But I am, so I won’t.

7 random things that make me smile.

Here are numbers 134-140 in no particular order.

- Jars of “sun tea” sitting on porches

- The way Charleigh finds a new best friend where ever we go

- Trips to the moon via swing sets and imaginations

- My Cousin Chris

- Roller Coaster Screams

- Painted Turtles

-

20  women I rarely see but would make me smile if I did.

Update: Interesting note, only half an hour after posting this I received a random call from Appie VanDijk. I haven’t seen her in at least 3 months, she called to invite us over for a visit.

Where’s Waldo? Can you find Kurt and Kaleb?

Our small group (all 42 of us) have been given tickets to Wonderland Park. Fun Fun! Hey girls do you remember the Himilaya, or how about Big Splash? Chris, Amy and I always had fun on the Tilt a Whirl although last time we went with Julie and Chad it made me throw up. Oh, the memories. . .we haven’t been since Kaleb was 3. I’m hoping my stomach is up for it.

Send anyone an email with out leaving jamileigh.com Yes, I admit there’s not much use for it but it is cool.

On such a low post day I decided to bring out some old pics and dust them off for you.

This pic is for Meme


I never did get around to telling you about Joshua’s adventures in cooking. . .



Remember that one time when it rained? Yeah. . .me neither.

To finish things up I bring you Me and my Shoadow

Hey Sami, Does this shadow make my butt look big?

So I’ve noticed that everybody has a ticker. So here’s mine.
1st up is a countdown of Pounds to lose. I recently gained 10 pounds (as recently as last August) anyway I now have 8.5 pounds to lose.

Next up is a countdown till the illustrious GentleWhisper comes to see me. You all know GentleWhisper right? She was blogging before blogging was a word.

Lets see what else? Oh yes! School is starting soon. . .

Well I guess that’s all the tickers for now, perhaps I should put one up for Christmas, or maybe Spring Break, I know I know I’ll track my progress with the laundry.

We closed on our house yesterday! Can you say whoohoo yippie yieaye? The kids did! For months they’ve heard the words “when we sell the house” or “after we sell the house” On the way out of town Kaleb asked if we would stop by and say good bye to our ole house. They hugged the door, hugged the garage and hugged the tree. They blew kisses as we drove away and when we turned the corner Charleigh said “Well, I wonder where God’s taking us now.” .

I haven’t written in a while mainly because I didn’t want to be a whiner and I couldn’t think of anything to say that wouldn’t sound at least a little whiny. Our air conditioner broke again. With temperatures passing 100 degrees our refrigerator conked out as well. I shipped off my Cpap for repair, with it gone I felt a little broken too.

Hope is on the horizon, today is Monday. I love Mondays, they’re like a brand new start. Take today for instance, I’m going to start over on my plan to lose that last 5 pounds, I’m going to eat right, drink 64 ounces of water, and exercise. Right before I do all that I’m going to read my Bible then clean the kitchen, living room and bathroom. Oh, yeah. I’ve got to return those library books, and send a few thank you notes. Then the laundry, oh the Laundry! Ugg. Some time today I need to get Charleigh to make a path through her bedroom so we can get to her bathroom and replenish the toilet paper. Oh, Marvelous Monday! If plans don’t work out and all I accomplish is reading my Bible and vacuuming the living room. If the piles of laundry only shrink a little and the dirty dishes magically reappear as soon as I do them, I won’t despair, after all tomorrow is Terrific Tuesday!
