Embarrassing Moment

We have all had those moments that are really embarrassing well I have had more than I care to think about but this one I decided to share because well it was rather funny. Kris came home from work and decided that he would go and try to hunt and kill a big one! Anyways so he was getting ready and I was doing laundry with my back towards him. Well someone was coming over and I was expecting them but not maybe right then. So I start the washer and yell at Kris "I will warm ya up when you get home" only to turn around and that someone was standing between us. I am pretty sure Kris' grin was about to bust and I just turned around and resumed washing my laundry plus it gave the red cheeks time to go down. I keep giggling about it and it was truly funny but geesh I was embarrassed. I rarely if ever say things like that and so I guess that is what I get for thinking and then saying it. Kris kissed me goodbye with a HUGE grin on his face and then left me. So that is my embarrassing moment of the day.

Zoned out

Well it didn't occur to me today that it was Friday till about 3pm. What a week. I have been in a daze. I am not sure what is wrong with me but I need to get out of it. I haven't done much around the house, my attention span is the length of a gnat for that matter so is my patience. Anyways it has been a long week but thankfully it is over. Maybe my problem is like when you work out of the house and then two weeks before your vacation you get grumpy and cant stand the place. Maybe I am in that mode because in about 2 weeks we will be done till after the first of the year. YEHAW! Oh well I will carry on but when Thanksgiving is here then school is DONE! I must say I have timed things pretty good. We will be doing a unit test in math this next week and closing out and testing in reading too. Well we have been lax on eating at the table. I know shame on us. It all began when we couldn't hardly get to our table and then it ended up a catch all but now in this house we can use it but haven't been. That is changing and Kris and I are both determined to make the change. So far so good. It is amazing how much easier it is to clean up the kitchen after getting up from the table. Anyways it has helped us with our family devotions too. Changes are happening in the Lemley house. :) We are a work in progress...have been for sometime but we are slow at catching on to things sometime or is it called lazy? Whatever you want to call it we are trying to do better. So today was a rough day in school we did school till 3:30 which is unheard of in this house. Anyway Rowdy was more ornery than normal if you can imagine. Anyways we sit down for devotions and the devotions for tonight is....wait for it....Divine discipline!!! Rowdy audibly sighed. It was quite funny. He did somber up and decide that maybe he did need to be better but he isn't really sure why he has been acting like that but he will pray about it and so far has been. Next week will be better I just know it. Kris is hunting this weekend. So it will be a quite weekend bahahaha. Ok, no really it will just be a regular week day or might as well be. Thankfully the season is just that a season.
P.S Spell check doesn't get me.... :)

Time Change

Well the time changed on Saturday night and boy are we thrown off. I hope that Paisley's sleep pattern works itself out soon. For that matter mine too. I am sleepy by 7:30 and ready for bed and then wide awake at 5:30 but forbid myself to get up and do something in fear that Paisley will wake up and then my day will start that much earlier. If she would keep snoozing for another hour that would be nice then I could my devotions and some other quite time things but that isn't how it works so I lay in bed too. The bad thing is today I wanted a nap. Not a habit that I like to have cause I need stuff done but the sun hasn't been shining today so the nap wouldn't let me go and I caved in. Now I should be doing stuff and I find myself blogging. Oh hum. Maybe tomorrow will be better. We did all of school including a math test so we are right on schedule with everything and I think will be even ahead of schedule so we might start our break a wee bit earlier. Which is fine with me. Meanwhile we are dieting here at this house. I am not sure what the diet is going to be but so far I am counting calories and I am sure Kris is eating whatever he can get a hold of before he gets home. Tonight I think after dinner and the chamber meeting we will go to the park and walk. I am not sure what we will do though maybe just walk. I don't want to set myself up for a failure. Part of me does want to do the couch to 5K but I think that might be a failure for me. I suck at exercise. I don't want to die early though and know I need to do something. Oh if only I had enough money to pay some trainer to yell at me and keep me going. I am hoping that Kris wont let me quit so maybe I can set up a payment plan with him. hehehehahaha. What a great idea! If I start dropping the pounds you better not ask questions. ;)

What a crazy weekend this has been. Friday evening Paisley kicked off the night with several dirty diapers. She acted fine so we all assumed it was something that she ate that didn't sit well with her. Well this went on through the night and so Saturday morning we ran up to the drug store(which prompted a funny conversation with Rowdy which I will tell about later) to see the pharmacists would suggest if I should give her anything or just let it run its course. So we pull into Teasley’s drug store in which I refer to as the drug store en route. Well Rowdy says ok so why is this called a drug store? Aren't drugs bad for you? I then think hmm good point hadn't thought about my referral of it being a “drug store” anyways so I explain that they sell medicines for people to buy in case they are sick like Paisley is. Then I wonder how in the world he knows about drugs per se. Then recall a recent conversation with another child about it being a drug free week at school. Boy, I am glad that he doesn't know the extent of what drugs are. I was a wee bit worried for a bit because he is 7. There is plenty of things that I can keep hidden from him for a bit longer and I will. I know that kids need to know right and wrong about drugs, sex and etc but not at 7. It makes me thankful that he isn't in PS and having to be exposed to all the above. Anyways so we go into Teasley’s and talk to the pharmacists and she didn't advise giving her anything yet but if not better then go to Dr on Monday. Well yesterday we had plans to go to the corn maze taking both kids. Ending up I was just going to cancel so that we could keep her in but Mom offered to watch her so that it could just be Rowdy, Kris and I. I am so glad that we did that and I think it was very good one on one attention for Rowdy. So we left at 1 and headed out to the Right Choice Corn Maze which is a great family place. We went several years ago and had a great time and I would say even more fun this year. They have added several more games and fun for the kids. We ended up on a 30 minute hay ride which was a wee bit long for the little ones that were with us but it sure satisfied my hay ride yearnings! HA! Well last night we had another very restless night and started running a fever so this morning we didn't go to Church. I am glad because we have changed probably 20 diapers since we got up at 8. Poor child can hardly walk because the rash is so bad. I have tried rash cream and am now using cornstarch too on her. So tomorrow we shall go visit the Dr and get this stuff nipped in the bud…or is it butt? Heehee. Today has been a very long day with lots of diaper changing, baby holding, consoling and a headache for Momma. I have been drinking a lot of Dr Pepper and well it hasn't helped. So I have moved on to water in hopes it will kick in soon. Meanwhile is it bed time yet? Well I think it is almost nap time once again so I better get this published and get ready for a new diaper and sleepy baby. Catch yall later! 

What a day yesterday was. We caught Rowdy in two lies. The first one was if he used his pocket knife on the trampoline. Ending up he did use it. He has been carrying a knife for sometime and has been told not to use it unless its needed to cut something in which until yesterday he had been using it for just that. Well I guess yesterday he got a little carried away with it and then proceeded to jump and then it ripped even more. So now it isnt usable and the knife has been taken away for a long time. So he lied to us about doing it when asked if he did. Well then him and Kris went fishing and afterwards he was told that he needed to make sure Mimi's shop was locked up. He said it was and went out like 3 times to check. Well ending up it wasnt locked at all. Thankfully Kris went out to check it. So when we got home he got a spanking and was sent to bed at 7:30. He was not happy about going to bed that early and well this morning I am not either cause well he got up with me. I like my morning times to be nice and quite. Oh well the day has started. I guess getting up early is beneficial for me cause I have gotten a lot of things done. Including tomorrow's breakfast whipped up and ready to just be cooked. GO ME! I dont really want to get up this early anymore. I feel like I spent my work force years doing just that I dont want to do it anymore so I wont! HA! Ok, only if the baby wakes up and I have to. Last week we had fall break from AWANA and although it was nice having off I did miss it. I do like my class and teaching those kiddos. So tonight we go back and I am looking forward to it. So I think I better get off and gather the rest of the AWANA stuff up and get the baby bathed and ready for Church.

Dad and Memories

Well we had the Auction yesterday to sell Dad's tools and farm equipment that Mom has no use for. There was a large crowd and over 300 bidders. The best part of it was how much support Mom had. She had several close friends come out to be there for her during the Auction. It was a tough day watching Dad's things switch hands and drive off. In the end it needed done so now she can retire! YEHAW! I am glad that she is going to retire. She was off again today so that people could come and get their stuff since some bought more than they thought they would. So she joined us for lunch. It wasn't much but I sure enjoyed having her over for lunch. I am really looking forward to Christmas break now cause we can do some baking together and maybe some craft projects too. We are very thankful for how over the last year and a half the Lord has provided and got everything lined out for this very result of her retiring. I nearly forgot! I was going to talk about a few things that were in the Auction. One being this stool thing that I often played "airplane" on. It was the landing strip for my belly when I was about Rowdy's age or maybe even younger. It had been used a good many years in the shop. I had forgotten about it till things were getting drug out into the drive way in preparation for the sale. Yes, I sat on it no I didn't "land" on it though. LOL!!! That would have been a sight! Dad's truck also sold. They bought the truck brand new in 2001 and it was always Dad's truck. I couldn't even ride in the silly truck without crying like a baby. It was hard to watch it go but as I sat on the porch the memories flooded me of right after Rowdy was born Dad came down while I was still on leave and we went to Lincoln to Burger Land to eat lunch. So we ate lunch and Dad asked if I needed to head home then. I said No, I had been cooped up so no big deal for me to be out longer. It was a good relief for baby blues. So we proceeded down a dirt road which turned to another dirt road and so on and so forth. Before I know it we are bouncing down what appears to be a creek. Yup, a dried up creek bed! It was so much fun! We laughed and laughed and I couldn't have found the way outta there to save my life since I think North is always in front of me! HA! Dad however was able to find our way out of there with just a few turns in the right direction. After that day we laughed saying that we would never be able to find that creek bed again. We didn't look for it but I'd give anything to go with him and look for it with Rowdy and Paisley in the truck with us. I hope that whomever bought the truck creates some great memories with their daughter like Dad did. Well now that I am crying I guess I'll go mop the tears and start dinner.

Baking and relaxing

I find that if I get in the kitchen and make something like bread it is just so relaxing. Today I decided when Paisley went down for a nap that I would go in and make some French Bread which is to be used for tomorrow nights dinner (pizza bread). I hadn't made french bread before figured it was something lengthy I guess. Anyways it was easy peasy. I will definitely be going back to this recipe. I made the French Bread in my Grandma's bowl. It isn't really her bowl but she made bread in one similar so I am calling this one her bowl. It makes me smile. Here is a picture of the bowl. 

So after mixing, kneading, letting rise, I divide the dough in half and start to shape and guess who wakes up. Yep, my sweet baby. So the first loaf is pretty and nicely shaped but the other was haphazardly rolled out, rolled up and thrown on the sheet to rise due to screaming Paisley. So here in the picture of the bread.

 I must say it tastes really good. I am wishing I had some tomato's so that I could make bruschetta. YUM! It will make GREAT pizza bread tomorrow night though so I am excited for that.
