A couple funnies! :)

I came across these and thought they were cute...enjoy! :) LOL

MAN OF THE HOUSE


The husband had just finished reading the book, 'MAN OF THE HOUSE'.

He stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his
wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you are going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

His wife replied, "The funeral director would be
my guess

 

A life-long city man, tired of the rat race, decided he was going to give up the city life, move to the country, and become a chicken farmer. He bought a nice, used chicken farm and moved in. As it turned out, his next door neighbor was also a chicken farmer. The neighbor came for a visit one day and said, "Chicken farming isn’t easy. Tell you what. To help you get started, I’ll give you 100 chickens."
The new chicken farmer was thrilled. Two weeks later the neighbor dropped by to see how things were going. The new farmer said, "Not too well. All 100 chickens died." The neighbor said, "Oh, I can’t believe that. I’ve never had any trouble with my chickens. I’ll give you 100 more." Another two weeks went by and the neighbor stopped by again. The new farmer said, "You’re not going to believe this, but the second 100 chickens died too." Astounded, the neighbor asked, "What went wrong?"
The new farmer said, "Well, I’m not sure whether I’m planting them too deep or too close together."

Blessed Beyond Worth

I am blessed beyond my worth. I'm a believer in Christ, there for know that I will spend eternity in Heaven. I am unworthy of his love, and I can't even describe the feelings when I think that he died for me.

Then I think of the blessing's he's given me. My husband. What can I say about him? He loves me so much more than I deserve most of the time. He's an amazing father. I truly could not have asked for a better man to be the father of my children. He's a hero! He's in the Army and loves his job. He believes in helping the Iraqi people to have the freedom they want. Most importantly, he loves Christ!

Then there's my children. God gave me Jordyn for 2 yrs 1 month and 8 precious days. There are so few words in the English language to describe how much I love this child and miss her, long for her in my arms, and thank GOD that he gave her to me for even 1 day. What GOD gave me, cancer will never be able to truly touch, because one day I'll be with her again. My boys are so precious to me. They are truly BOYS! If you have a boy, you know what I mean. Full of energy, orniness, rough-housing, playing in the dirt, sand, finding mud puddles and becoming as dirty as possible. If there's messy food to eat, it's the first thing they want! Just as boys should! LOL Jacob knows Jesus and loves him, he knows his sister and loves her, he adores his Daddy and they have a bond that I sit in awe of. Jackson's my "baby", at just 2 he's so smart, sweet, ornery, and wonderful. He's "MY BOY", yet loves that Daddy of his!

One of the sweetest sounds I hear everyday is "Daddy" when Chad comes home from work!

What did I do to deserve these amazing people? Why did GOD allow ME to find this man, have these children? I shouldn't question. I should just be thankful, even for the tense and stressful moments. I need to look at the good times and lock them in my heart and hold onto them and remind myself of eating ice cream in a German Ice Cream Shoppe, then going across the street to the little park with the fountain pond, running around, chasing each other. I love to hear my boys giggle...you know the giggle I'm talking about. It's those giggles of pure joy, of being carefree, fully loved, and truly happy. Running around, out of breath, looking at the pond, smelling the flowers. It's a good day, a good moment in time that I want and need to lock into my heart and never forget.

My dear friend, Emily talks about "Really living"...tonight I really lived with my boys and my blessings are too great to count. I am learning to "really live" from my children.

Feeling a little sad

I am sitting here just missing my daughter tonight. Wondering how someone I love so much was able to leave my arms. I am just aching right now. I hear so many other mom's talking about their daughter's, the pinks, purples, ribbons, long hair, painted fingernails..I miss those things, most of all though I just miss Jordyn.

All too often people think that tomorrow is somehow guarenteed. I find myself falling into that at times, but I know all too well it's not promised. I know that life's not always easy and gentle. I know that even little innocent children suffer from horrible diseases, that they truly do not deserve. I know that one of, if not the most evil word I know is cancer. I know it killed this beautiful child. It robbed her of growing up to become what ever she was supposed to be. It robbed me, yes selfish me, of being her Mommy and guiding her through out her life. It robbed my husband of his little girl, his princess. It robbed my boys of having a big sister.

I hate cancer. I miss that smile, her laughter, that light in her eyes. I've never seen another human that had a light in their eyes like Jordyn did.

The Penny

The Penny 
 
 You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the 
sidewalk being good 
luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time 
I've ever heard 
this twist on the story. Gives you something to 
think about.   
 
 
Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband 
  were invited to 
spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. 
My friend, Arlene, 
was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very 
wealthy, with a fine 
home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her 
house. 
 
The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was 
delighted to have 
this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. 
The husband's employer 
was quite generous as a host, and took them to the 
finest restaurants.
Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to 
indulge in this kind 
of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself 
immensely.
As the three of them were about to enter an 
exclusive restaurant that
evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of 
Arlene and her husband. 
He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement 
for a long, is lent 
moment. 
 
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. 
There was nothing on 
the ground except a single darkened penny that 
someone had dropped, and 
a few cigarette butts. Still silent, the man reached 
down and picked up 
the penny. 
 
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket 
as if he had found a 
great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man 
have for a single 
penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and 
pick it up? 
 
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. 
Finally, she could 
stand it no longer. She causally mentioned that her 
daughter once had a 
coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found 
had been of some 
value. 

 A smile crept across the man's face as he reached 
into his pocket for
 the penny and held it out for her to see. She had 
seen many pennies 
before! What was the point of this? 
 
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says." She read 
the words "United 
States of America." 
 
"No, not that; read further." 
 
 
"In God we Trust?" "Yes!" "And?" 
 
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, 
even on a coin. 
Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is 
written on every 
single United States coin, but we never seem to 
notice it! God drops a 
message right in front of me telling me to trust 
Him? Who am I to pass 
  it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if 
  my trust IS in God at 
that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to 
God; that I do trust in 
Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if 
it were gold. I 
think it is God's way of starting a conversation 
with me. Lucky for me, 
God is patient and pennies are plentiful! 
 
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on 
the sidewalk. I 
stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had 
been worrying and 
fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I 
read the words, "In 
God We Trust," and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the 
message.

Kenny Chesney and Rene Zellweger...over

 

AOL News - Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney Split

Ok so anyone who knows me at all, understands my deep and undying LOVE for Kenny. That being said, I feel sad that his marriage is over. I KNOW! SHOCKING!! LOL I feel sad, because I hate to see any marriage end, well most the time.

       

Obviously since they got married it's been very low key and I have no idea what she means by FRAUD. Seriously what's fraud of being HOT, SEXY, GORGOUS, and just plain YUMMY. Ok so the secret must be out, he must have told her of his undying devotion and love for ME! Ok, I'm back to reality as my 4 yr old comes and kisses me from his waking up from his nap and I'm reminded that I am indeed married with children and happily at that! :) LOL

 

    

I like Renee as an actress, although she could seriously gain some weight, only because I think when she has some on her, she look so much  better, in their wedding photo's she just looked like she was truly sick. :( Hopefully they can both move on and be happy in their lives.

     

 

Someone should probably slap this huge grin I have off of my face...:)

Pure Exhaustion

Well we got our household goods and our home now looks like a jungle of boxes. It's insane the amount of things we have. Of course if the moving company would have done the claims while we were still in Kansas, we'd not have a broken desk to store until we do claims, and since they managed to brake and/or damage other items lets just say I could be happier. On a happy note we have already found quite a few things that we're either completely trashing or taking to the Thrift Shop (we get to pick our price and decide if we want to lower it when ever we want to...so I'm going to be making a call or running down there tomorrow or Thursday for an apt with them to drop things off).

Chad and I were horrified to see the amount of boxes of clothes for the two of us. Obviously there are clothes that just do not fit us, because neither of us have that many clothes that we can wear! LOL I am positive I have quite a few clothes that are 1 to 2 sizes too big, so I want to get rid of them. We're going to sale our coffee table too, it's  hand me down from my parents. It's heavy and I'm sick of it and if we ever want one we can find one that I like far more, that weighs about half as much as this one. 

We have the boys beds set up, it's a bunk bed. We debated putting Jacob on top, and have decided to let him try it out. I had Chad help me lay the carpet it out in their room and then I put pillows down on the floor "just in case" it has a safety slat on it, so he'd have to roll up and over it, so I truly don't think he will, but it makes Mommy feel better. Jack loves sleeping on the bottom! LOL He was in and out, in and out, in and out some more!

I have bible study in the morning, and I still need to finish my lesson tonight. I'm so exhausted I wish that the boys would sleep in tomorrow, but I know they'll be up bright and early at 7 am...I know that's not early for some, but it is for me. I am NOT a morning person at all...in my perfect world no one would be functional until about 10 am! LOL I said PERFECT Christy world!

Well, I see many days of going through boxes, so who knows if I'll get much time on here or not.

Kelly, I hope you have internet back soon! Love ya girl!

Bye-bye!
