MOM  , Cabug, Precious, and I went on a special trip to Wal-Mart last nite.

Now MOM  has been boycotting WM. We haven’t been there in like 3 weeks; we have even been shopping at a little more expensive grocery store instead of supporting WM. Check out this post for the boycott reason: Wal-Mart comes out of the closet
Anyway, so when she came to the office and told us she HAD to go to WM, I fainted and Alatariel  had a heart attack!! NJK!! So I got my makeup and clothes on, and took Cabug and Precious to the van. My dad’s truck was in the middle of the driveway, so I went and moved it. Well my dad about had a heart attack, b/c he thought I was going to run into a tree. It was funny. He started yelling at me to stop. So when I went to the van he was standing there and said, “Gun it next time, why don’t ya.” LOL!! Hardy har har!!
By the time we got to WM, Cabug and Precious were sleeping, so I gave MOM  and then she was like, “Um, you can’t come.” So I went to get some powder. Then I stopped by the juniors section to see if they had any SUPERMAN shirts. I saw some Pirates of the Caribbean  shirts.  MOM  won’t let us get one, b/c the skulls on it.
Cabug and I carried Precious. Cabug woke up when we got in. I started following

I was looking and didn’t see a SUPERMAN one, so I started to leave, and then it caught my eye: a SUPERMAN shirt!! I was so happy!! It is white with the symbol and the symbol is red, yellow, and blue. It also has some small buttons that say Bam and something like that!!
Then I went to find MOM  and get close then she has to find what she was looking for and I was like, “whoops”. So I took Cabug and we went to look at the movies. And for the life of me I couldn’t find Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!! But then Cabug found it!! He carried it around for awhile. MOM  still wasn’t done, so we went to see of they still carried the SUPERMAN bed set. They do!! When Cabug saw SUPERMAN he was so excited!! HE dropped the movie and went over to see the bed set. They had some REALLY nice throws of SUPERMAN. They were so soft!!
By that time MOM  was done so we went and checked out. I had to get a MO for a birthday present, so I took Cabug with me to the service desk.
When I got there, there was 2 people in front of me and so the woman took care of the first one and answered the phone. She was obviously perturbed by the customer on the phone b/c she kept rolling her eyes, like “god, that is what I just said.” So I knew that she was going to be trouble. Well after she rudely told the man in front of me that he had to take his item over to the jewelry dept, b/c it was a piece of jewelry, she helped me. Now I set Cabug on the counter to get my money out and I had given her the wrong amount of change, so she told me in a snotty way that I had. Well while I was getting my change out she was talking to Cabug and this is how her conversation went:
WM Assoc. “Hi there. You don’t need that Nasty thing in your mouth!! How old is he?”
Me “ He is 16 ”Yeah you shouldn’t have that NASTY thing in your mouth.”
Me: Smiled
So after I handed her my money, I gave her like 10 or 15 pennies, she said, “Thanks for all the pennies” I said, “You’re welcome” with a smile
 You know you just don’t say stuff like that to friends, let alone someone you don’t know. MOM  said I should have said, “well he still breast feeds, so that is why he has it.” But I just walked away.
I was going to pay for my 2 piddly items there, but I decided against it. I just went and stood in line with MOM. I paid for my items and MOM  paid for hers and we left.
Cabug and Precious were very cankerous so we scrimmaged up all the change in the van and stopped by Wendy’s for some 99 cent fries. I really enjoy Wendy’s!! Their fries are ALWAYS HOT!!
So we are pulling up the driveway, when ALATARIEL  calls to remind me to go by DQ for my buy 1 get 1 free blizzard for my bday. They sent me a coupon for being a part of their blizzard club.
I was supposed to make dinner last nite and didn’t since I went with MOM  and when I got home, they only thing left was homemade mac and cheese. So I made it. I asked Tigerlily  to shred the cheese and as she was getting the grater out of the cupboard, she swung around and hit me in the forehead with it. So I have a cheese grater pattern scratch on my forehead!! I know you will get a kick out of that all!! Good thing I have bangs to cover it!! LOL!!
So we ate dinner, watched Numb3rs, and then I came downstairs to clean the kitchen. After I cleaned, I shut down the Pc and then made Dad's lunch!! Brushed my teeth and went up to bed!!

Also my Grandma sent me a catalog for Avon and as I was looking at it, I realized I still owe her money from last time I ordered!! OOPS!! I saw somethings I really want in it. So if anyone wants any Avon let me know and I will get that to my Grandma!! LOL!!

I have got to STOP shopping. I haven’t spent anything in awhile, but I just spent like $25 in one nite!! YIKES!! And I still need to get some gel, deodorant, and some other things.

Yeah and I did a count of SUPERMAN articles of clothing and my count is up to about 13 things!! Maybe more!!  That does not include my other SUPRERMAN items that aren’t clothing. Maybe I should count those too!! Man, that would take a while!!

A Mother of All Trades
Published on October 11, 2006 at 6:15 PM

This Article was published in Daily bloggings of a 16 year old Girl on her way to becoming a Woman of God


As I was doing my hair and makeup yesterday, I got to thinking when I first was allowed to wear makeup and how my MOM showed me how to put it on. And also when MOM puts her makeup on, I usually hand it to her as we are in van. She always says I am like a nurse handing the surgeon his tools at an operation.


Some of the things she told me about applying make up was:
    When applying it around your eyes you use your ring finger and go in towards your nose on the bottom of your eye and out towards your temple on the top.  So that you make a complete clockwise circle around your eyes. Do not push hard when you do this. This process helps with reducing the bags around your eyes when you are older!! The reason you use your ring finger is it is the weakest of your fingers, so there is no pressure breaking the muscles under your eyes.
    And I have recently learned that when applying powder you should use a sponge and not brushes. The sponge blends the foundation with the powder evenly leaving it looking smooth and natural. When I was using the brushes I was told that I looked very powdery by many members of my family.  Now I have not had any remarks about my makeup so that is nice.
   
So with all the help from my MOM I have come to the conclusion that I am a lucky girl. I have a Mother of All Trades. 
My Mother  has been the following throughout her life:
Daughter
Wife
Mary Kay Consultant

Creative Memories Consultant

Shaklee Health Distibutor
Ministries Leader (Womens, Childrens, Worship, Moms, and more that I can’t think of right now!)
Homeschool Book Seller
Singer
Chauffeur
Garden Tender
Home Birth Expert
Childrearing Expert
Homeschool Expert
Accountant
Cook and Hostess or waitress @ KFC & Golden Corral, and - ew... Burger King!
Chocolate Luver

    And the best and most important of all: A Loving Mother of All Trades!!
    She uses those things she learned in every day life as a

Mother of All Trades.
    She taught me about makeup, she taught me how to cook, she taught me alot of health and nutrition, she knows about what homeschooling resources to use, she provides for our family by planting and tending a HUGE garden!! And to LUV chocolate!!
    Everyday she tries to be more like the Proverbs 31 Woman and most of the time she exceeds in this.
    She does everything in her power to protect us from harm, both physical and spiritual, helps me to become the Proverbs 31 Woman that my family will need. She makes sure we have everything we need.
    Yes, she does have her HORRIBLE days, but she comes out stronger and more equipped for the next time she has a HORRIBLE day!!
    I know we have our rough times, but I am thankful that she is my

                                   Mother of All Trades

What I Believe

I am a Biblical Believer and don’t conform to the denominations of today’s world. I am a non-fiction Believer. That means that God has already written my life story and I don’t want to change it by doing what I want, but follow it perfectly by His Word and Guidance. I will follow that plan alone. I will not make my own plans, but follow where He leads me.
I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and love Him as my Savior. I want to live wholly for Him and give my everything to Him.
I believe in Jesus Christ. That He is the Only Son of God. That He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father unless through Jesus Christ.
I believe Jesus Christ was beaten, crucified, and rose again in three days. I believe that He died for my sins, and washed them away. I believe that He is coming back for his people some day soon.
I believe that a marriage consists of a MAN and a WOMAN. I believe that the husband should be the head of the household and that all decisions lie ultimately with him. I believe that a woman should be a keeper of her home. I believe she does not need to get a job outside of her home and out of the authority of her husband.
I believe in a full quiver, and that God will give me the desires of my heart. I believe that the woman should stay home and raise her children in the LORD.
I am praying and waiting for God to bring the man of my dreams. I can’t wait to get married and have my own family. I am excited that I can be a stay at home mom and keep my home. I want to be a Homemaker and make my home to be a haven for my family to learn to be Biblical and Godly.
I hope to be an encouragement and teach Biblical things to all who stop by my blog and be encouraged and learn from others.
