4 Nice Things

I am just now sitting down for the first time today. I have a sour cream coffee cake baking in the oven for Sunday school tomorrow and I thought I would blog while she cooked. Messing with my husband is one of my favorite things to do and licking the bowl after I finish mixing up something is one of his favorite things to do. I had some of the batter left in the bowl from the coffee cake and asked him if he wanted some. He responded with "yes, I have been waiting all night for that." I told him he had to say 4 nice/sweet things about me if he wanted it and until then I was going to lick the bowl. These are the 4 I got: #1 I like your pony tail. #2 I like your white “momma” shorts. #3 I like your pink shirt. And #4 I like your tan. I told him # 2 and #3 would not cut it and I started licking that bowl some more. He was about to come unglued and came up with you are the best wife and you are the best momma. He got the bowl.

Play date with Cooper..

Today was Molly Cate’s 4th birthday party. She is my niece and I remember being at the hospital waiting on her to come into this world 4 years ago! Ford was the only little boy invited to the “Baby Doll” party. He had the rights to come since he is her only cousin. My sister in-law, Ashley, who is also Sugar and Spice Mommy (blog) agreed that neither one of our children needed any toys for their birthdays and maybe next year we will put no gifts on the invites.

So yesterday I was very brave. I did something I have only done once before in my life. The last time I did such a thing I was a freshman in college and paid severely for my actions for days to come. I didn’t do anything bad as some of you may be thinking; no actually it was something rather productive and good for my body. I actually went to a “work-out class.” Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am hurting today. Showering this morning was like being put in a Chinese torture chamber and we won’t even go into the pain of trying to get dressed. I am not the most coordinated person so I opted for the back of the room during the class. I tried real hard to pay attention and not make a fool of myself by going the wrong way or tripping over my feet. Thank goodness I didn’t fall down. And luckily, I didn’t know that many people in the class. I started off kind of rough and got tickled at myself for doing things wrong, but I think I ended on a good note and was rather pleased with my performance. Ford had a lovely time while I stretched and sweated. He played with Lucy, with sweet student from 2 years ago. Her mom is actually the one who caused me all of this bodily harm! Thanks for being a great babysitter, Lucy!!!!!!

Why is it that…….. When you try to do good and exercise and eat right that temptations are thrown right in your face? I ate Mexican TWICE on Friday, had cake today at Molly Cate’s party, tomorrow is breakfast day in Sunday school, and tomorrow afternoon is Trey’s family reunion. How can a woman get her body beach ready with all this FOOD??!!!!! And I love food.

Last thing and I promise, Mom and Ashley. I won’t write anymore to torture the two of you. Trey got a new truck!!!!!! He has been driving the same navy blue F150 since college. It was a fine truck to drive around Mayberry and to take hunting, but he couldn’t put a front facing car seat in there for some reason. I told him it was time to get a new ride. And that he did. We got his new hunter green and tan bottom Ford F150 King Ranch last night. It’s 4 door which is great for Ford and so nice. I am happy for Trey and he loves his new ride.
