Who'd have though that God would send me THREE funny moments all in one day. Usually He spaces them out, but apparently He figured I needed a good ab workout today caused by excessive laughter.
Moment #1
Yesterday, I was reading the Huber HoF Academy Blog post on something fun she did with her kids. It involved filling a large clear bag with water (zipper-type), closing it off then poking sharpened pencils all the way through it. It looked like so much fun, I thought I'd let my kids do it today. We almost had the same results...here's what happened...
That is water you see leaking out. Apparently, one of my children was trying to pull one back out because it didnt' go through where they "meant it to." Big mistake! Before I could stop them...well...let's just say we lost some water from the bag, and had to run for a beach towel. When we were finally done, we had 33 pencils stuck through the bag. The trick is to make sure that you push the pencils firmly through in a SMOOTH motion without stopping until the entire pencil is all the way through both layers of the bag....and also not to try to take the pencils back out...not even move them back a LITTLE or you'll spring a leak like us.
Moment #2
Later, I was making dinner. I went with Chicken Noodle soup because Wednesday is always "crazy" trying to get kids fed and out the door to church. What can go wrong with Chicken Noodle soup you ask? Well...as I was busy with many tasks at once, I was obviously distracted and, the Chicken Noodle soup started boiling "rapidly" and I knew it was done. I went to get the melamine bowls out for the little ones and started dipping the soup in...and this is what happened...
In case you were wondering...When a melamine bowl has a hairline fracture, it's not a good idea to put 200+ degree (F) liquid into it. It exploded in my hand, and there were noodles hanging out the bottom and chicken broth running down my arm as I yelled for the kids to bring me yet one MORE towel to clean up the mess. (You can still see noodle "residue" in the cracks.) I hadn't noticed the cracks...needless to say, I'll be examining the bowls BEFORE placing boiling liquid into them again.
Moment #3
Last...today I had bought a new shower curtain for my bathroom, but one of the shower hooks fell apart as I was trying to hang it. Now, these are my favorite hooks because they perfectly match my bathroom...PERFECT. I couldn't throw them away. So I tried to fix them with some new glue I had bought at the store today (for another project). It said that it was permanent and it would adhere to anything. What I failed to read was that it took 24 hours to cure. Realizing this...I grabbed the 3 closest things I could find that would hold the hook in place...
Yep...You saw that right...I had to put it in my camera's battery charger and Han Solo and Greedo are holding it up. It works perfect...but I can just hear Han Solo saying... "Hey, Greedo, can you give me a hand with this thing. It's heavy!" I could go into a whole dialogue from there...but I'm sure if you know anything about Star Wars, you can probably come up with a good one yourself....ending with the sound of laser fire, of course. LOL Let's just hope Han's strength doesn't give out before tomorrow night. ...Oh, I crack myself up!!!! Which probably means it's way too late for me to be awake.
Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?...
[Note: When I woke up the next morning, both Han and Greedo were gone. Either, they were exhausted, and couldn't hold the weight of the hook...or my 3yo found them. I tend to go with the "3yo" explanation.]
While I ageee a women should not be in office, I also know when I vote I need to vote as though the Lord is on my side. I realize that it's not me putting her into office but McCain is. So if I vote for McCain I am saying hey you better know what your doing cuz it does not seem like it. And I am sorry but many many past 3 party votes have put certain other parties into office because it took votes away from the same party. It's a shame but it's true so if you vote 3rd party then you take away from the rupublican and give to the democrat, research it you will see. I want more than anything to vote Ron Paul...I know the Lord would guide our country in the right direction if he were in office...but the sad fact is a vote for him WILL be a vote or Obama weather I like it or not. I know I am following the Lord in this.
Thank you so much for stating how you feel about this. It was nice to hear from you.
Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
