Loathsome Laundry

I just have to send this question out into the cosmic void...DOES IT EVER END??? I think I did 12 loads of laundry. What you see here is only the tip of the ice berg. Perhaps I'll do better keeping up this week. :)

Eat Your Wheaties!

Livi was cracking me up (again) today. While she was noisily slurping her Cream of Wheat from the spoon she kept chiming..."is yummy wishus!" (translation: "it's yummy delicious!")

Fantastic Four!

Amilynne had her four week check-up! I can't believe she's already a month old. I can almost feel her growing in my arms. She is now 8 pounds 2 ounces! She has also turned to the dark side :( .. My sweetest little "hart" is a crabby patty! So sad...oh well. Atleast I know the drill, right?

MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Girls in big hair bows with blue fluffy tutus,

Sweet scented candles that make home smell fufu,

Silver and gold jewels and all kinds of bling,

These are a few of MY FAVORITE THINGS!

You are all cordially invited to come to my party featuring:

Politics and the Ten Commandments

America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in ourtemples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee..

~~Judge Roy Moore~~
The above is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama and I just loved it. Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama. Hooray for Judge Moore. God bless him for his courage!

Ami goes to town

Amilynne's first visit to Dr. Duddy (whom we LOVE!): 6 lbs. 6 oz. 19.5in. tall. Hooray for our little girl! She's healthy and strong. It's sad to think that she's already growing up. I had to put away all the preemie clothes. She doesn't fit them anymore.

Muffin Tops

Yesterday I was so fortunate as to have one of my favorite people stop by. Kirsten was in the neighborhood and she brought muffins. I love muffins. Blueberry, lemon, banana, chocolate chip...you name it...I'll eat it (except for poppy seed. For some reason I just don't like poppy seeds) Anyway, Kirsten brought me a bunch of super huge, super delicious, super fantastically moist muffins from Costco...you know, the ones that are bigger than the state of Texas? So yum! It was so nice to have a friend visit. I've been home for several weeks not wanting to take my newest little pumpkin out in December to mingle with the colds and flus...I mean people...that are so packed in during this fun holiday shopping season. Thanks, Kirsten, for bring me your sunshine! ...and muffins!
In a separate but yet somehow related topic...I got my jeans on yesterday! Granted, they were super low cut and had the "comfort fit" elastic stuff woven into them so I was able to suck it in and still stretch the fabric together just enough to get the zipper up and the button snapped. The little teeth on the zipper were clenched so tightly I thought they were going to have an anurism and I'm stunned that the button didn't shoot off and break a light fixture...BUT I GOT THEM ON! Now, how does this relate to the delicious calorie laiden morsels that my sweet friend brought me yesterday? Muffin top! For someone like me who has never experience "muffin top" or don't know what it is, it can come as quite a shock. Muffin top is when your stomach and/or "love handles" hang over the sides of your jeans. ...not quite as cute as the delectable pastries they are named after. And yet, I will still continue to smash, stretch, tuck, and otherwise squeeze myself into my jeans.
Here's to muffin tops! ...crunches to follow
