Proud Mommy Moments--Blast From the Past

When Kristin was about five or six years old, I taught her Primary class.  I think I have taught each one of my kids' Primary classes.  I digress.  I team taught with another gal.  The lesson that week was about "let your light so shine." and we used candles as an example. 

Now, of course we didn't light them.  Safety first.  But we asked the children, what do you light candles for.  Expecting (and hoping) for answers like (so you can see) if the lights go out they will light your way...etc.  What does my child say?  "Sometimes if the house is stinky (aka the garbage) my mom lights a candle!"  Yeah thanks Kristin.  Out of the mouths of babes.  I am sure my face turned many shades of red that day.

And what are your proud moments?  Past or present.  I am linking up with EmmyMom and KMama!

Yeah sounds about right.

My phrase is I'm cheap not easy. So we went to Old Navy and I bought something for Tori and she told the cashier I was cheap not easy.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
