Funny Things My Kids Have Said

Sorry Karen I had to read yours and add mine! I was laughing so hard when I was reading some of the HILARIOUS stuff that my nieces and nephews have said. So here I am adding mine.

Here in Arizona when you get food stamps they come on a credit card type card with numbers and your name on it, etc.... one day I had misplaced it and I asked the boys if they would help me find it.

David: "Um mommy what is food stamps?"
Danny: "Isn't it a stamp with food on it?" ROFL!!!

My grandmother has Dementia and up until about a month ago she was living right next door to my mom and dad and they took care of her. David loved to go over and visit with "great gramma". He really loves her and loves to talk to her and show her stuff. Anyway a couple of years ago my mom came home from over there and was laughing so hard and asked me if I wanted to know what my son had sad.... I was nervous... lol. and the story went like this
My grandma came walking into the room with her walker....

David: "Great Gramma, what's wrong with your legs?"
Grandma: "Oh I guess they're just getting old"
David: (puzzles for a bit) "Oh.... like your face?"

My dad had been talking on the phone when my mom was trying to tell us by the time he got off she was laughing so hard she couldnt talk. So I told him what David had said... in comes more laughter.

One day I was getting ready for my cousin Kendra's baby shower when she was pregnant with her son Jackson. I was wrapping up a little outfit for them. In walks Danny.

Danny: "Mommy, who is that baby clothes for?" (he was like 3 or 4 at the time)
Me: "They are for Kendra's baby"
Danny: "Oh where is he?"
Me: "He's still in Kendra's belly"
Danny: (gets this strange look on his face, pops his eyes out and in a crazy voice): "SHE ATE HIM?"!!!!!
Me: No Danny that's not how it works.
David: "Mommy you ate us when you were pregnant"
Me: "No david and Danny that's not how it works and I'm not ready to explain it to you" ha ha ha ha

Miss Grinch has been humbled

I could have definitely been called a Grinch this year. I had NO Christmas spirit for most of the season. I had nothing to give my kids, no money to get them anything... I was depressed beyond belief. My children are so amazing though. I told them from the get go that we may not get a whole lot for Christmas this year and you know what? they said "Okay mom, we know you're having a hard time" can you believe that? I have got the most amazing kids!!!!! So anyway we went to go visit my grandfather up in Safford and they gave us a gift card at walmart. They wanted me to spend some of it on me but I spent EVERY dime of it on my kids. Then my parents asked me what I wanted and I told my mom that all I wanted is for my kids to have something for Christmas. So my parents helped me buy some presents for my children... they didnt have to... but they did ( i love my parents so much!!!!!) Then I was starting to get the christmas spirit.... and then yesterday was the most humbling day for me. I was sitting at my computer working on a christmas project for my mom and dad and I hear a knock at my door.... cautious person that I am (one would call it paranoid the other would call it cautious) looked out my peephole and I didnt see anyone there. I opened the door and there were 3 wrapped christmas presents... one for me and one for each of the boys. Then something was telling me "Go check your mail". So being sick as sick can be I didnt want to but I heard it again "Go check your mail". I opened my mail box to find 2 christmas cards... one from a cousin and his beautiful family and the other from "Secret Santa" with 5 $20 bills inside it saying "God Bless You". I cried like the bawl baby that I am and realized that there are amazing people in the world. I don't know who the secret santas were.... but I send the most heart-felt thank you to them from the bottom of my heart. Merry Christmas everyone! I love you all!!!

Hindsight

Ok I will edit the quote that I read and put one of my own words that is rated G that I found about Hindsight and it is soo true... especially in my case.

"Hindsight is a vindictive little witch that preys on the nostalgic"

Ok.... Now I Can Breathe!!!!!

Now that all of the crap that I was going through is overwith I can move on with my life and look forward to the future, with much more ease and determination! First item that I have to take care of though is getting some CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!!!!! When you are under as much stress as I have been the last few months, christmas spirit is really hard to come by. But then when you stop and think of what the TRUE meaning of Christmas is... it makes it easier to get that Christmas Spirit!!!

I am very grateful for the loving family and friends that I have that prayed for me in my times of need. I truely felt the love and prayers of everyone on our behalf.

I Dont know about you guys but I am ready to have the holidays done and overwith! I just don't have the Christmas spirit this year! I want to! I really do... but every time I even think that the holidays are almost here I just cringe and just wanna scream! With all of the drama and bad luck that I've had going on in the past few months... I'm just ready for Thanksgiving to be here and done and ready to get the Christmas season overwith and ring in the new year that will HOPEFULLY bring us better luck!

Happy Holidays

Ready to get Thanksgiving done and overwith and onto the Christmas holidays! Have had enough drama this year... especially the last month or two to last me a lifetime!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

With all that I've got going on in my life I can still be thankful for a lot of things. I am so THANKFUL for a loving and forgiving Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ who knew I would mess up again but they still love me. I'm thankful for loving and forgiving parents who love me no matter what problems I've brought and bring into their lives. I'm thankful for loving and forgiving family & friends... who love me enough without question to pray for me in my times of desperate hours. And mostly I am thankful for my children for whom without them I would not be here today. I'm thankful to be alive. I'm thankful for my apartment that is warm in these cold winter days. I'm thankful to have food on the table for my children, clothes on their backs, warm coats and beanies for their heads for the winter, a car to get them to and from school, etc... I'm thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for the Atonement and for what it means to me. This is starting to sound like I'm bearing my testimony here. lol. Anyway for all that I have to be Not thankful for I definitely have MORE to be thankful for and I definitely have many blessings to count. Happy Thanksgiving everyone I love you all!
