Bedtime Snacks and Waffles

Bedtime Snacks:

Last night, pretty late for the kids to be going to bed I might add, I was on the couch nursing Max. Tyler and Isabella needed to be in bed but were STILL stalling (they are masters at that). Well now came the time for them to start BEGGING for a bedtime snack. I, still nursing, began growling at the kids because it was 9:45 pm (yes I know, parents of the year here) and they needed to be in bed, not eating. So then little wise man Tyler comes to me after being told he did not need to eat anymore he needed to go to bed, and asks me "Why does Max get to eat?"

Waffles:

This morning Isabella and I were retunring from dropping Tyler off at school. I asked her what she wanted to eat for breakfast. She tells me a waffle. Sounds good I thought but I remembered she said the same thing yesterday and didn't even take one bite of it. I reminded her of this and she tells me that she wants to try again!
"Alright" I thought.
So we get home and I ask again "You want waffles, right?".
To this she replies "No Mom, I want eggs!"
I said "Eggs? I thought you wanted waffles? Do you want both?".
She giggles and says "Mom, I said J-U-S-T eggs".
"Alright. Whatever. Eggs it is" I thought to myself. But I decided waffles did sound good so I popped some in the toaster.
I crack the eggs, "Isabella, do you want eggs or waffles?".
I still get the egg response.
I begin cooking the eggs, "Isabella, do you want eggs or waffles?"
Still get the egg response.
I put the eggs on her plate and give them to her.
Then the waffles pop up.... and she says ...."Mom, I want waffles".

Old Emails

I have 2 email accounts - both kimbart777 but one is hotmail and one is gmail. The hotmail account used to be my primary account but now I just use it for when I am buying stuff online or registering online as they always distribute your email (grrrr - I hate that!!). Anyways, I hadn't checked the hotmail account in a few days to clear out all the garbage and so when I did, I was overloaded with over 200 emails from solicitors. So I just spent the past 30 minutes going through some of them and unsubscribing. (I promise I have a point to this .... ) While doing all this, I found some old emails from friends that I have saved because they were either too funny or just priceless. I thought I would bring these few emails back to life and post them, hopefully brighting your day!!

Girls Night Out:
Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married!..
The other night I was invited out for a night with "the girls." I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easy.
Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution,in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed...3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him "Midnight". He didn't seem pissed off at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
Then he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock." When I asked him why?, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, "Oh. SHIT ", cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted."

Fishing:
Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 20 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that stuff?'
I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I've stopped fishing.

Thoughtful:
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
