  • "It's astounding how I can shrink the world to resemble the navel I am contemplating." Carol Lloyd


    "It's gratifying that I can find someone else who made the navel comment so I didn't have to admit it!"  Quiltnmomi


    For Mother's Day, I took the kids to Mr Bigg's Family Fun Center.   Tucker was too short and a year too young to be allowed to drive the go-karts.  SO, I sacrificed and agreed to be his driver.  Ahem, we sort of ... won every race (5) even though we accidentally illegally bumped one of the other cars one time.  But hey, the attendant missed it, and well, the other driver had a pink ribbon in her hair and no matter HOW nasty we had to be, there was no WAY we were loosing to a pink ribbon, uhn uh, no way. 


    Tucker says, "Mom, if you would have drove the way you do on Academy, we could have REALLY left them in the dust."  o_0


    SOOOOO


    Can someone explain the friends thing to me?  I finally checked my email and discovered that some of my Xanga Friends had invited me to be an official Xanga Friend. Then I discovered that I had been invited to be a friend by some people back when Xanga first introduced this thing and those invites have expired.  So ... How do you send an invite?  How can I let them know that I WANT to be friends.  I really really do!  I just didn't know I'd been invited.


    Some days, I feel like I'm a couple months behind everyone else, and some days I find out it isn't just a feeling anymore.  And I can't fight this feeling anymore.  I've forgotten what I started fighting for. 


    And then we come up on a tight curve, squeeze to the inside and leave 'em wondering who was that masked woman with the cackling hyena child buckled in next to her.


    No, I didn't go to church this morning, but I read Psalms (no not the whole thing, just a half dozen of the ones where David complains that the Lord isn't living up to His part of the bargain.)  And I listened to Praise music while I went back to bed for an hour or two just because it's Mother's Day and I can lay in bed if I want to --- Nyah Nyah Nyah, and I know you are but what am I?!


    Have I mentioned that I've been dreaming about quilting?  I have been quilting lovely white stitches on white bright cotton fabrics that I knew even in my dream will turn soft ecru in a few years.  All in my dreams.  Anyone wanna take a guess what that means?

  • You go 'momi.  And who cares if you bumped the other driver.  You can get away with it.  Afterall, who hit the car during their drivers test and STILL got their license?  (I firmly believe it was because the officer was afraid to get back in the car with you)

    Hope you enjoyed your mothers day, anyway.  Hugs.

  • *smiles* That sounded like a ton of fun! I just love the bumper cars - and my kids do too! The laughing hyena sounds like me, I love to laugh, even at inappropriate times lol and I've been told that its a 'contageous' laughter that I have..

    I am not sure exactly what the "friends" option is on xanga. I was confused at first about it too. It's on the side control panel part of your xanga page, when you log in. There's a "memories" part, which is much like a msg. board, and a lot of other features. You can have a more complete profile as well. I may have invited you - I don't remember lol. Good luck with it, and if you don't use it, that's ok - the old fashion way of things on xanga is just fine. As my Grandpa would say *sigh* "these darn new fangled things"  *giggles*

    I hope your Mother's Day was awesome

    Blessings, ~Helena

  • Well, your dream means you have been listening to Wow Worship: Yellow. Either stop or listen more. Right now you must be doing the exact amount required for quilting dreams. More will change your dreams to roller blading and less will stop all dreams. Next week the dreams change from quilting and roller blading to water ballet and trapping pocket gophers. So, if those sound inviting to you hang in there with the listening.

    I went to church yesterday and it looks like you were the only mother who slept in because every Mom in Knoxville was at church and I suspect the same was true in your community. If you hurry, because it was rained out, you might be able to do a late entry in the Indy 500. My money would be on you. Only $5 of course.

  • I remember when my kids were younger and a car or two would pass us... they'd point it out by saying, "MOM! Go faster, they're beating us."

    which is to say, I so relate.

  • i'm sure you had a blessed Mothers Day since you got two sons who worship you

  • Isn't doing the "nudge" part of go-cart racing? Mike
