Super mom..

Oh Yeah...

WHO'S  the Super mom...

Me...that's who...

(Doing the Super mom dance)

So...Why am I bragging?

This is me yesterday..

Took my kids to library time

(against my better judgement...because of our schedule..)

My washer had broke, so after that, we bought a washer

Just a basic one from Maytag this time...Englis...

Hope it works better then my front loader from Kenmore ever did...

I have only had it four years, and repaired it three times...

Anyways, I bought it and arranged for delivery...

Went for lunch with my husband...

Came home, cleaned the living room...

(To accomodate the new couches...Which were being delivered that afternoon..)

This is the couch....Super comfy...

We had our other couches for 14 years, so I guess we were due...

Then had to take my boy to his first ever Soccer game..

Which ended up being frustrating, 

because someone had lost our e-mail...but finally called us..

Told us our game was Thursday at the park..

So we went, but he was on NONE of the lists...

There were four coaches...

and the first one told me I was at the wrong park..

So I went to leave, 

Carrying a very very heavy 18 month old..

(Who by the way was really sick)

and spilled my entire cup of coffee on myself...

I was almost to my car, when a parent told me that the park I was

being sent to, wasn't right either...

So back I went..

Second coach told me to come back on Tuesday night...

Third coach was far more helpful, and told me Jeremy could just play with their team for the night

and the fourth coach was my saviour..

He not only let Jeremy play,

but told me he would find out what was going on...

He was sooooo great with Jeremy...

like Kendal or I would have been, 

and gave him a little extra attention...

(especially after poor Jeremy came back to me in tears and heart break

because the other team came and took away the ball from him...)

He brought him back and explained, and let him have the next kick...

I so appreciated this guy...I hope we can just stay on his team...

I should mention that Jeremy now calls himself

Jeremy the soccer boy Jones...

but this is also the same boy who told me yesterday 

that "Monkey's can't drive mom... but them don't know they can't drive!"

By the time I got Gracie home, she had a really high fever,

and I still had to clean 50 boxes out of the laundry room so that

I could make room for them to deliver the washing machine this morning...

I finally fell asleep sitting up on my rocking new couch...

See?

Super mom...

Tell me about your most recent Super mom day...

What an amazing Godly man..I grew up hearing him on 100 Huntley Street..I met him very briefly when he came to our church (Regina Apostolic) on his Across Canada tour...He is traveling across Canada thanking people for supporting Cross Roads Ministry... We really enjoyed hearing what he had to say... Here is a video.

Versatile Blogger Award!

The Rules for the award are:1. Thank the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic! (in no particular order...)

4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.


I am a BAD BAD blogger...I was actually awarded this award over a week ago, but I have been so busy, 
this is the first time I have been able to put it up... so THANKYOU Jenny
for this award.... and sorry it took so long to get to!!  When you get the chance...go check out her blog

I'm a Full Time Mommy

She is a great lady, and always has something neat to say....some great Give-aways too!

OK...so now to share 7 things about myself...

Ummmm
1) Ok...I started this blog over three years ago now...Origionally it was-and still is a way to let family and friends outside of my community know how my kids are and how we are doing...Mostly because I hate HATE phones... As it turns out,  I found out that I actually like blogging, and have met many people as a result of something I was doing as a journal!  

2) This isn't much of a secret...but I love photography...I especially like to take pictures  of old people and children, mostly because they have show so much character in their faces.... I love to take pictures that tell a story... Sometimes I am paid for my work, but I would do it anyway....

3) I play guitar....I have a Special Edition Takamini Tibetan Alm that I love...although these days I don't get to play as often as I like due to family responsibilities... 

4) I hate flying...I don't know why....I just do...I have only done it three times in my life..

5) I had a pony I called Poncho when I was a kid... She was an obstinate beast...but she really taught me how to ride..

6) I didn't graduate high school until I was 28...When I did graduate I had a 98% grade average and ended up being class valedictorian.... I went back so that my girls would know how important an education is...
unfortunately..not sure if it sunk in... LOL!


7) I am partially deaf in one ear, and have tinnitus. I don't know why yet, although I will be going to a specialist soon, but I am going to get a hearing aid, and possible a tinnitus masker... (tinnitus is buzzing or whistling in your ear) I hear mine 24 hours a day. It started 10 years ago when I picked up a virus and was sick for almost a year...I don't tell people often, because people treat you differently when they think you are deaf... I get yelled at, people speak really slowwwwwllllyyyyy..... truth is...although I need a hearing aid in one ear..I hear well enough to play guitar and sing...so.........

OK...so now you know a little more about me....
Now to pass this on to some more bloggers...I don't think I can do 15 though...LOL!

1) A Trio of Boys
2) Two Savvy Sisters
3) Look at it as an Adventure! 
4) Hon, What's for dinner?
