Randomness!

What do you get when you haven't posted in two months and have lots of things to share with the bloggy friends?  RANDOMNESS.  

Warning:  This post will be about things that are bringing me happiness in this present moment of my life, but none of it really correlates.......so, if you're looking for organization, you might want to stop here. :)

Exhibit A:

Here you see a picture of the best coffee creamer known to man.  It has brought me so much happiness in the last six months.  John and I LOVE coffee, and drink it every morning, so we've pretty much tried every creamer there is out there.  This won our hearts over a while back, and apparently it's won everyone else's over too.  It's sold out about 50% of the time when I go to the grocery store. Head straight for the Italian Sweet Creme.  Except at Christmas time, when Peppermint Mocha creamer is available. :)

Exhibit B:
Look what I got!!  I'm so excited!  I have only had three cell phones my entire life (and one of those includes the infamous 'bag phone'....remember those? :)) because I'm not a big phone kinda person.  I always get the free one and use it til it dies.  Well, mine was on it's way to the Pearly Gates.  Doing crazy things!  So, John had gotten a new BB (which he has to have for work) a couple of weeks ago, then I happened to see the BOGO promotion at Verizon, so Mulchy Mama got this sweet phone for FREE!  Once again!  And this time it's actually a nice one!  I really had my heart set on an iPhone, but the price comparison ruled that one out.  I also was afraid of getting one because I didn't want it to turn into a 'crackberry'.  And so far, I've controlled that addiction pretty well! :) 

Exhibit C: 

I don't think I  have discussed on here how much I love etsy!  Now, pretty much everyone that knows me knows that I love ebay, but lately I've been getting into more one-of-a-kind, homemade stuff.  And etsy is just the place for that.  I purchased this necklace for both grandmas and one for myself for Mother's Day (John told me to go ahead and get me one....woohoo!).  I can't wait to get it!  Once it comes, I'll be sure and take pics and post on here.

Exhibit D:

I love monogrammed stuff!  My good friend Faith is monogramming some cute K*lly's K*ds dresses I got for a steal at a consignment sale for the girls!  She does such awesome work and I can't wait to see my little stinkers all dolled up!  Pictures to come of this too!!

And, I'll end on a more serious note.  

Will you please pray with us that God will lead us to a decision on what to do about our house? Ideally, we would love for it to sell before the next school year starts.  But, if not, we are trying to decide whether to just stay until it does or rent it out and rent a house where we're moving to.  We really don't know what to do and just want what God wants.  As I said in my earlier post, we know that God's hand is on this and it will happen in His time....we just want to be obedient to what He wants.  John and I both are growing tired though.....him from the driving, me from the cleaning. :)  As Tom Petty once said (in a very nasal voice), 'the waiting is the hardest part'. :)

Dandelions, Sweet Dandelions

Well, y'all, I'm going to try to get back into this old blogging world.  I have been hijacked by the Facebook, trying-to-keep-our-house-clean-24/7-because-it's-on-the-market world.  I wish I could tell you that our house had sold, but it hasn't. :(  I'll have to admit, it is extremely frustrating to try to keep it clean all the time (with three miniature wrecking crews) but it will be worth it in the end, I know.  We know that God has had His hand on this move from the beginning, so we are trusting in His timing. 

Sometimes (well, a lot of times) it's hard to be a stay-at-home mom.  I absolutely LOVE it, but because I'm here all the time, I am so mundane to the kiddos.  They never really get excited to see me, but THEIR DADDY...oh, their daddy.  They squeal for delight when he walks in the door!  And I love that they do that.  I can imagine that would be such a thrill after a hard day!  But they are all the time making him special things to put in his office - drawings, crafts, etc.  And, yes, sometimes I feel a little left out (shall I get out my violin?).  

So yesterday little Sweet Pea comes in from the backyard carrying four dandelions.  She said, "These are for Daddy".  I said, "Well, didn't you pick any for mommy?".  Then, she said, "Well, one's for you and three are for Daddy."  So, of course in my mind I was thinking "yeah, yeah, just like usual."  THEN, to my surprise she said, "Daddy gets three because he's so much fatter than you."  Ha!  And I said, "Well, honey, in that case, you just give Daddy all the flowers you want to!".  

Disclamer:  Let it be known that this was not meant to put down on my hubby at all.  We both are, in fact, chubby. :)
