Thursday Thankfulness

She has this thing about her, this attitude that she’s going to hate a thing before she’s ever tried it. And when Daddy brought home some ginger-ale to help settle her upset tummy, she was certain she wouldn’t like it. I told her it was golden pop. That sparked her attention. She is a girl afterall.

So she sat down with her special golden pop and after she drank about half the cup, she declared that her tummy really did feel better and could she have some more of the golden pop?

Of course, baby girl.

So this week I’m thankful for ginger-ale. And I’m thankful she wasn’t more sick than she might have been. And I’m thankful that Darc has 2 interviews this week. Who knows what may come of them, but to have 2 after what has been one of the worst times in our economy is a pretty amazing thing in my book. The Lord is good.

What are you thankful for this week?

Wonky Wednesday

Wonky Wednesday: "

She curled up next to me after sliding under the covers and we drifted back off to sleep together, snug as 2 bugs in a rug. She’s my cuddle baby and I cling to these moments. I know they aren’t going to last. And for some weird reason, I seem to sleep better when she’s snugged up against me.

After a while I heard her ask for a tummy medicine and I reached over in my sleep to grab an antacid for her. I heard Daddy ask her if she had an upset tummy and she nodded, then said she had to get up rightnowbecauseI’mgoingtobesick! Daddy was closer to the bathroom than I was, and he ended up getting her there before I could. Fortunately, she hadn’t eaten yet and all her dinner from the night before was already digested. She made that trip a couple of times, thankfully no accidents along the way – if you know what I mean and if you’re a parent I’m sure you do! Eventually she said she was feeling better and Daddy ran out to get some ginger-ale for her. She ate a little bit after he got home, then said she wanted to go back to bed. This is my night owl. She doesn’t do bedtime until as late as she can possibly make it. And she wanted to go to bed at like 7ish or so.

She slept for hours and hours, finally getting up close to midnight. And she seemed to be just fine. A little bit later she asked for some rubbing alcohol to put on a bug bite she said was itchy.

And I wondered.

Is it possible that was the cause of her being sick? It was a huge mosquito bite. I don’t know. Either way, she’s good to go now and I am grateful that it wasn’t worse than it was. We’ve been really blessed here, hardly ever getting sick and those rare times we do, it’s short-lived and mild. It’s cause to be thankful, indeed.

By the way, it wasn’t pinkeye and it wasn’t contagious.

On a side note, I spent some time making a new “buy now” page for Darc’s fiction blog, now that he’s got his new book up on Amazon. I’m kind of proud of it.

Tuesday Tootsies

Tuesday Tootsies: "

I tried to save some of the oddest of my “collection” for this last Tootsies before Halloween. Some of these are more bizarre than others, to be sure, but I hope you’ll be amused.

Whoops! Who left their gum on the sidewalk?!

I’ve heard some women like their toes licked. I am definitely NOT one of them, but for those that are, these might do until you can find the, uh, real thing.

Clearly the woman who wears these shoes isn’t really interested in a relationship, if you know what I mean. These just scream, “If you can see these, you are too close to my personal space!”

For the soul who likes going “soleless,” you can have your shoes painted on. Look the part of a business professional, with that barefoot “toes in the grass” hippie feel.

Love going barefoot but hate wearing shoes? Just have the heels surgically implanted!

Of all the shoes I’ve done over these last several months, these have grossed me out the most. Not a bad Photoshop job.

For those who want to be comfy but still have some kind of Halloween flair, like me, we have these. Ahhh! Just the thing to wear while taking the babies out for trick-or-treating.
