Tuesday Tag Along!

Here's how it works:

• Create a new Tuesday Tag-Along blog post. Include the Tuesday Tag-Along button by copying and pasting the code above. (You are also welcome to copy and paste these instructions in their entirety, or any portion of this Tuesday Tag-Along blog post!)
• Add your blog name and the URL of your TTA post to the MckLinky below.
• Follow Twee Poppets, the hostess blog listed in the first slot. Twee Poppets will follow you back! (Note: If you want Twee Poppets to follow you back, you MUST leave her a comment saying that you are a new follower and leave a link to your blog!)
• If you can, please follow the blogs in the three slots before you (e.g., if you're number 20, follow numbers 19, 18, and 17). This is not mandatory, but it will help ensure that everyone who signs up gets a few new followers!
• Follow as many other blogs as you want. The more you follow, the more that will follow you back! Be sure to tell them that you're following from Tuesday Tag-Along! You may also want to leave a link to your blog so they can return your follow more easily.
• When you get a new follower through Tuesday Tag-Along, be sure to follow them back! It's just common courtesy. :)

The weekly Tuesday Tag-Along MckLinky opens every Monday night at 8:59pm Pacific Standard Time (that's 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time), and the TTA blog post will be posted well in advance of that time. The MckLinky will be open to add your blog until 11:59pm Tuesday night. You then have all week long to visit blogs and return follows!

There is a new list every week. The link you enter one week will not carry over to the next week's MckLinky. Please link up again each week to join in the fun!


Tuesday Tag-Along Blog Hopper of the Week:
Each week, one blog will be chosen randomly from all the links, and that lucky blog will be placed in the desirable second slot for the following week's MckLinky!

This week's lucky blog hopper is #120, Soup Baby. Congratulations!

What is the Story?

Sometimes pictures aren't great...they just tell a story..

like these ones..I was on my deck when I took them..

Tell me...What do you think the story was here??

Parking Fail...

Ok...so why have I included these videos you might ask????
Well first of all....they were just freakin funny..]
BUT I was at Walmart a couple of days ago...and I saw my own Parking Fail...
and my hubby and I had just been watching some of these videos
the night before, and laughing our ***** off...
and then I go to Walmart....
Well..You get it..

I was walking out of Walmart,
and I see this...
A really big ass handicap van trying to park in a spot, that really she should have been able to fit in...
But instead, she hits it at a really bad angle.
I was walking towards it, so I can see she is about to nail this car...
So did a man on the other side, who
started yelling at her to stop, but apparently she didn't hear him either...
because she just kept going...
Apparently...she also didn't feel the force of the impact either...because she'
hit the car, and just kept pushing it!! Unbelievable... This picture really doesn't do justice to the damage on the
left bumper, because I took it from a distance through a dirty window, and with a cell phone...
but the whole end was caved in...  After she parked and realized she had hit the car...she actually tried to park again! And repeated the whole hit the car thing!

WOW! Where is a video camera when you need one...LOL!
I also took pictures of her liscence plate and this car..and stuck around in case she tried to skip
but to her credit, she did leave a note and her phone number on the cars window..
although I guess it is kind of hard to skip, with nosy cell phone woman staring at you...LOL!
Anyway...there it is. My epic Fail Parking Story...

What is the worst parking job you have ever witnessed?

Handsome guy!

I may post more later, but I will have four kids today...(on no sleep..that should be fun... LOL) so for now, I leave you with some pics of one of the handsome guys in my life...

That's the girl we know and love...

Brandy turning 20?????

Where are the years going??

It seems like just yesterday, 

my beautiful daughter was as old as my little son on her lap..

and now in May, she is turning 20...

She was a handful...always eating dirt

chewing on things...

running into trouble...

(I am sure she would be thrilled to know I am sharing this...)

Once she actually chewed the entire frame of her bed, 

and her windowsill...

I can't even began to tell you how many hours it took me to repair it..LOL!

She never looks before she leaps..

resulting in comments like.

"Your head is shiny.."

to the bald manager of a restaurant...

but she has always been full of love

and kindness...

the one that little kids, and older people love..

She has always believed in God..

and used to have visions at night..both good and bad

She is very artistic...

and loves to draw and paint...

At times as a toddler, we often had to wonder
if she was going to grow into an intelligent person..
She was so absent minded that everything went into one ear and out the other..
and yet, she is the one always interested in World events,
and concerned about what is happening with people who have less then her...
She is insightful...

She also has always had sleep issues..

I can't even began to tell you stories of her sleep walking adventures..

but one of them involves a pig....

Now she is adventuring into the grand world of adulthood..

learning adult lessons...

and making friends.

(The one above is her friend Tracy...)

She is beautiful inside and out..

Someone I feel proud to know...

I am looking forward to the years ahead,

as she learns to let God take control of her life,

and continues to grow into the wonderful woman she is becoming....
You are truly an amazing girl.....

Happy early 20th b-day Brandy!

His life Building Lego!

My husband LOVES playing Lego...

We have a huge lego collection mostly from Kendal's youth...

and ever since I gave birth to my son, Kendal could NOT wait

until the boy was old enough to play lego...

If Kendal could be paid to play lego?

Well...you get the picture..

About a month ago, my husband lost his job...

He was fired due to office politics..

He came home at the end of the work day 

and told me he had some bad news...

Part of me was upset, because we just lost our only source of income,

But most of me was relieved..

He was never happy with the job, and it was a pretty toxic work place...

After seven years, it was just good to quit wondering when it would happen.

(and after all...now he could pursue his life long dream  of building lego all day long....)

God is so good...

Within the first two hours of Kendal being fired,

He had three job offers...

A testament to the kind of man my husband is...

He ended up taking a job at a business owned by a family friend..

He was a little ambivalent about it at first,

It required a whole new set of skills he would have to learn, 

and meeting a whole new group of people..

Move forward a month...

Kendal LOVES his new job..

No weird office politics...

Great  people, if not a little odd at times,

Higher pay, benefits....

such an answer to prayer...
spends his days building shelves, cutting metal, driving machines around, and moving stuff...

Many days, Kendal comes home laughing about something 

that happened at work, and says how glad he is to work there.....

BUT...the highest compliment  my husband could ever give came yesterday...

When he came home, and told me it was like playing with Lego all day long!
He must really like his job...LOL!

Have you ever been fired from a job?

Did it work in your favor or against you?

Have you ever had to fire anyone?
