MOMisms

Mom-isms....How many of you heard your Mom say this?
And how many of you find yourself saying these expressions...

" A little "birdy" told me.

Now my Mom did say this to me quite often growing up. I said the same words to Eric. One day I saw him outside just staring up at the sky. I asked him what he was looking for and he told me he was looking for that little birdy that kept telling on him because he was gonna shoot it.

"Are you lying to me?"

Now I never did quite get this one...I mean if I WAS lying to her I was not about to tell her I was! And yet I found myself asking my child the same question.

"If it were a snake it would have bitten you"

OK, but it isn't a snake! Just tell me where I put it already!!!

"I'm doing this for your own good"

I mean really spanking me and putting me on restriction is really for my own good????

"Pick that up before somebody trips on it and breaks their neck!"

I mean really? How often has this actually happened???

"Shut your mouth and eat!"

Is this even possible???

"When you have your own house then you can make the rules"

OH<<<

"Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident"

I mean seriously....if you are in an accident...are you really gonna have Clean underwear?

"Turn off that light! Do you think we own the electric company?"

You mean we don't? LOL

"Watch your language!"

I mean is this even possible unless you are looking in a mirror???
And my favorite

"Go to your room and think about what you did"

I already knew what I did and I got in big trouble for it, so why would I want to waste the rest of my day thinking about it.

Tell me some of you mom-isms.

Happy New Year 2010 and a look back at 2009

2009 brought a lot of fun and adventure. It brought some work too. I made two new friends and I will treasure their friendships for life. Sometimes God puts people in our lives to help us through the rough times. Sometimes God puts us in other peoples lives to help them through theirs. I only hope that I help others as much as they have helped me. One of the first friends I would like to talk about is Scott aka Robert :) He is my duet partner on singsnap.com. We have sang over 100 duets together. I like him because he gets me. We have the same wacky sense of humor and let me tell you the guy can sing! If you have a spare moment go to singsnap and check us out.

Scott aka Robert...thank you for being my friend!
This year I also got to reconnect with my big sister. We have been through a lot this year. She continues to improve and I go to see her about once a week. She is doing much better and is now smiling more. She is a true joy in my life and I thank God for my big sister.

Me and Pam as kids.

This year I played many roles...Friend, Sister, Aunt, Mom, Wife, you name it. Life is a dance you learn as you go. Sometimes I wished I could be a genie in a bottle and blink and everything would be perfect...But life is not that way.

Another friend I made this year was Donna. She is my new BFF. We have weathered many a storm. We have spent hours..and I do mean hours on the phone laughing and sharing. God definitely brought Donna into my life and I am so grateful he did. She is such a blessing to me. She is always there for me no matter what time of night or day. I am there for her as well. Hopefully I will be going to actually meet her in person in March of 2010. She lives in Arkansas.

Always the clown. Even though life may be hard right now I plan on keeping my sense of humor...Sometimes it is the only sense I got!

In 2009 we got the pleasure of taking a trip with Eric and our granddog Shelby. We went to Port Aransas for a week and had so much fun! We even had our own private swimming pool. Shelby is already about 2 times this size now.

I wore many hats this year I was a singer, a mother, a wife, a friend, a sister, an executrix, and well all that other stuff that goes along with all of that. Each day is a new adventure.

Eric's trip with us on the houseboat

in October. We had so much fun! We rented a houseboat for a week and spent many days and nights just having a blast. Sometimes you just gotta do that. Life is too short not to celebrate the beauty of Gods world. We did a lot of fishing, eating, and watching the sun set.

Rick chilin at Choke Canyon

We took a trip just the three of us. Rick me and Sadie. This was quite a mini trip. We were almost eaten by an alligator!

Fishing at Choke Canyon

At the time of this picture I did not know that you were not suppose to wade fish. There were huge alligators living in those waters. I enjoy fishing and this was a great catch!

Eric and Shelby at Choke Canyon

We were way out in the water when this was taken. We had both dogs swimming in the water...well I can guarantee we won't be swimming here any more LOL..but it was fun before we knew the danger. We had alot of fun with Eric on this trip.
