(2013) One of my favorite Lily stories from 1st grade ... 😂❤️
Lily loves to make crafts, but tonight she came to me looking completely dejected with some sort of foam ball drenched in Elmer's glue and moaned dramatically, "OH NOOOO!!! Mom .. I am a GLUE GLOBBER." It is apparently a TERRIBLE crime. I just can't believe my sweet baby girl has turned to a life of glue globbing villainy at such a young age.
(2012) I signed Bran up a few years back for text messages from a Youth Group at one of our local churches. They text Bible verses, etc. Anyway, his phone went off right in the middle of class today and the teacher looked mad. Bran said, "Sorry, church is texting me" and the teacher said, "Oh ... ok then, go ahead and answer." That cracked me up!!!! Guess when God texts, by george, you ANSWER!
You know you've been raised by a Southern mama when .... your husband rehires the cleaning service to help you around the house and you are frantically cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen so they won't be dirty when the cleaning lady shows up!!! As we say around here, "Your crazy is showing .. better tuck it back in!!!"
(2012) Funny story from today! Dylan and Lily were playing "cops and robbers" and they had created this fort thing out of blankets, etc, that was supposed to be the "jail." Apparently, Lily was the criminal who had been apprehended and put in the "jail." A while later, Dylan crawled in the jail with her and I heard her say really seriously to him, "So ... What are you in for?" I laughed out loud!!!!
(2013) Got a huge laugh at Dylan's 5th grade parent/teacher conference today! His teacher was sharing with me a piece he had written about which Native American tribe he would like to have been part of in early America. Dylan chose the Pawnee because "he wanted to hunt buffalo and use buffalo for his tent and clothes and he really loves eating buffalo wings." He seriously wrote that and was dead serious! We were cracking up!!”
(2013) Lily is loving Wizard of Oz! So far, her favorite is Glenda the Good Witch (the big sparkly dress and wand gave her a big advantage), but she said she does NOT like the "chipmunks" (aka, the Munchkins). Cracked us up!!!
(2011) Dylan was in the room while I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta" and this bride's grandma kept saying no very emphatically to every dress the girl put on. Dylan got mad and said, "Grandmas aren't supposed to act like that. They are supposed to say "yes" ... to EVERYTHING!"
(2019) I’m laughing until I’m crying! Dyl is all mad and ranting because he got ten points off on his online Spanish quiz in class because he typed “tomar fotos” (take photos) and it autocorrected to”tomato fotos”!!! He didn’t notice until he submitted. 😂😂😂🍅🍅🍅 I am cracking up!!! #highschoolproblems
(2012) Stopped to get my toes done after school today and sat next to the sweetest older lady. She laughed at the very bright pink polish going on my toes and told me she only dared wear neutral colors on her nails. She kept looking and looking at my polish and finally I said, "Go ahead!! Try the hot pink! You only live once!" And she did!!!! We both walked out of there with the brightest pink toes you've ever seen and that sweet, little lady was grinning ear to ear! Love it!!!!
(2020) When you’re itching and think you have hives from all the stress you’ve been under and then you realize it was just a bunch of crumbled Pringles that fell down your blouse at lunch…😂😂😂 #teacherlife2020
(2020) I just got an offer from a pet website to send me a 128 page book about grooming my dog at home. What on earth?!!! All I do for Buddy is slop some dog shampoo and water on him in the tub then brush him. Buddy must be missing out on the other 127 pages of grooming! 😂😂🐾🐾
(2019) Life with Brandon Taylor ... I called him today to check in on him since his school is closed the next two days due to bad storms. Our conversation ...
Me: Hi Bran! Are you coming home because of the storm?
Bran: No, I'm staying here.
Me: Well do you have a plan for bad weather? A safe place you can go if the wind gets bad?
Bran: Yeah, I'm ready.
Me: Are you sure? You know the winds are supposed to be really, really strong. What is your plan? How exactly have you gotten ready?
Bran: I bought a kite ...
Yep ... that's Brandon. 😂😂😂
(2013) A funny Dylan memory ...
A scary glimpse into the minds of seven year old boys: At the drugstore, I let Dylan pick out some candy. He picked out this HUGE multicolored lollipop, of course. He said, "Mom, I bet I'll be the first person EVER to be able to eat all this at once." I replied,"If you do, you'll get sick." He thought a moment and replied cheerfully, "Well, if I throw up, at least it will be rainbow!" UG!!
