*cute email I received

My five-year old students are learning to read.

Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, "Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!

"I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"

"It's a frickin' elephant!

It says so on the picture!" I looked, and so it does...

"A f r i c a n Elephant"

Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?

Do you want sauce with that?

Forever and Always giveaway

Forever and Always Ashley is having a LEGO giveaway HERE

Had a pretty good night :)

Last night I went to our Avon sales meeting and I was so excited that I won these items :)

Actually, this is something we got as a full size sample for attending the meeting along with a new fragrance sample and some new skincare samples

This I chose when I won a raffle. I thought it was cute for Valentine's Day♥

This I received for referring someone to Avon during a special incentive during the holidays (I actually picked it out for Katelyn)

I chose this for one of my raffle prizes, it smells so good!

This is one that I didn't choose but randomly given for coming to the meeting (My Mom will like it)

I got a wrapped present from our manager for my birthday being in Feb. and in it was the white cuff watch :)

I chose the middle set (turquoise colored) from the raffle too!

I picked this one because I knew my kids liked it when they saw it in a brochure :)

♥CUTE♥

Overall, I had quite a haul to take home. I love going to these meetings! :)

:)

My friend sent me this email today :)

*

The other day I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and of course I have been married for 6+ years. We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by wearing a black leather bra & bodice, stiletto heels and a mask over just our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes. Here's how it all went:

*

My engaged friend: The other night my boyfriend came over and found me wearing a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you.' Then we made love all night long.

*

The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels and mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we made love all night long.

*

Then I had to share my story: When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said…

*

"What's for dinner, Batman?"

A prize that I won :)

Honest Scrap Award

Leann over at Surviving Parenthood bestowed this award on me

The rules for the Honest Scrap award:

The honorees are to:

A) first list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!

B) pass the award on to 7 bloggers whom you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

Hmmmm... some honest AND interesting things about me..

1. I really miss my childhood friends, but I am too afraid to contact them and not be greeted with open arms.

2. I wish that I didn't go to college to be a police officer because I never used my degree and I wish I would've gotten into working with people with special needs. :)

3. I love my kids and want to be a better Mom♥

4. I miss my Grandma and wish she were still alive and that she would've met my children♥

5. My oldest is turning 16 this year and I don't know where the time went, just yesterday he was driving his Big Wheel :)

6. I wonder "what if" too much regarding getting married to the wrong/right person (hope that makes sense)

7. I feel a sense of connection having blogging friends :)

8. I would like to learn how to make jewelry someday

9. I have to get back to scrap booking because one (child's) has many filled pages, the others don't (bad Mommy)

10. I love the band Fall Out Boy but I think I would feel like a dork to go to a concert because I am too old!

I would like to pass this award on to

Special Prayer Request

Scott and Kelly Stamps had a beautiful baby girl last night and is in need of your

prayers of healing♥

Please click on the side button for any updates

Harper Brown Stamps was born at 7:03 PM.

She weighed 9lb and 12oz.

She is having some trouble breathing, so they have taken her to the NICU to check her heart.

They have had to incubate her - they are doing tests to see what's going on.

Also, Kelly lost a lot of blood in delivery and has really low blood pressure.

They would really appreciate your prayers for both mother and daughter.

Dear God,

My aunt sent this to me this morning and I just wanted to share :)

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED

To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

Dear God:

The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and strong, and I love her. Help her live her life to the fullest. Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations. Help her shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love. Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs you the most, and let her know when she walks with you, she will always be safe.

Love, your friend!!!!♥
