My little lady and the tooth fairy (almost)!

Leave a reply

Most of you know that I am a worry wart.  I fret internally.  I do know very well that it is a waste of my effort, time, energy, brain power etc.  The busier I am the LESS I worry—thankfully!  I have several friends that understand my very bad habit!

My worrying looked my right in the eyes last night via my little lady.  She comes running downstairs yelling, “I HAVE A LOOSE TOOTH.”  She was so excited.  It is just loose enough to move back and forth.  Her brothers were trying to tell to just pull the tooth on now or she would swallow it…then the worrying begins.  She crawls into bed with me and my five year old little lady sounded so grown up as she fires away questions/statements (though her large tears):

  • “Mom I am very worried that I am going to swallow this tooth in my sleep.”
  • “Will the tooth fairy come if I swallow it?”
  • As she is moving the loose tooth around, “Oh NO MOM the one next to it is loose too!!!!”
  • My VERY favorite was, “Mom I am not sure it is worth losing a tooth.  The tooth fairy doesn’t bring enough money to make me want to lose my tooth.”  At this point I am really trying not to giggle-to the point my eyes are watering.
  • “Mom I just am so worried…”

(about this time Hubs pipes in – under his breath  – “I think she may have inherited THAT personality trait from you as well.”) My little lady is my mini me-completely me, but I like to tease hubs when she is stubborn that it is all him-even though it not (don’t tell him I just admitted that IN WRITING!).

  • “Mom how am I going to go to sleep with this lose tooth!”

The trials and tribulations of growing up!

The tooth has not yet “fallen” out…details to follow how the two teeth make their exit from the little lady’s mouth!!!

HIT IT!

Those were the words the family yelled often from behind the boat on skis, boogie board (the family favorite) or tubes in the summers at Shaver Lake in California.  Gramps would not accelerate the boat until he heard those words!

The smell of the gas and water on our current boat instantly takes me back to Gramp’s boat and the fun we had.  He pulled my cousins and I all over that lake.  It was such a treat for my brother and I to get to go to Shaver Lake with Grandma and Grandpa as we lived in Wyoming.  We would get to go every summer to Bakersfield, CA and hang out with our grandparents for and other family for a couple weeks.  And besides the skiing and boogie boarding we had a blast camping!  Grandma would pack “cokes” and tons of snacks and we spent the day on the boat.  I learned to ski behind that 1970 something boat.  I am not sure how many times my aunt helped me in the water to learn how to ski, but I am pretty sure it was a ton of times!

Today out on the lake I was thinking of the first time Hubs and I took our boat out-I remember skiing that weekend-getting up on the first try on my new skis purchase right after the boat!  When I got back in the boat the first person I called was Gramps to tell him about it-it had been well over 15 years since I had skied behind his boat or any boat for that matter!  He was proud that we were carrying on the boating tradition and told me it was a great way to spend time with family.

I wished I could call him today after the boys rode on the tub together (it was so funny you had to be there to see their faces and hear their loud laughter above the sound of the boat motor) and were going in and out of the wake, but I know he was watching from above and laughing along with us.

As I looked at Hubs driving our boat I can’t help but think of my Gramps.  Gramps rarely let anyone else drive the boat (like Hubs), Gramps would drive around the lake pulling kids on tubes at nauseum (like Hubs), Gramps was one of the most patient men I have ever met (almost like Hubs-LOL-he lack of patience most likely due to his high strung wife-LOL!), Gramps only got all the way in the water when the heat was beyond squelching (again like my Hubs!).

The boyzees and my little lady had a blast at the lady.  Until next time at the lake….

Nice seeing you all today!

P.S.  The three Chihuahuas had a blast at the lake too.  We park on “Sandy Beach” which is my little lady’s favorite place to play in the water (while hubs waxes the boat ).  Little Angus was swimming around.  It was funny to see my little 3 lb Chihuahua swim in a lake.  The 3 chis ran along the water and through the sand (of course getting  covered) until the were to tired to run anymore!

P.S.S The boyzees and my little lady are already asking if we can go back to the lake tomorrow – which is not slightly possible-but cute.  Hubs and I are super glad they had a good time!

P.P.S. Stay tuned as in the next couple of days we will have a free offer that we know you will LOVE!!!!

A SNOW DAY IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!

Leave a reply

On Monday I joked with many people that I hoped school was cancelled and we had a snow day on Tuesday!  Well when I woke up this morning I sent the peepettes to school and had my own snow day.  My little lady’s school was cancelled, but the peepeete’s school was in session.  Actually, hind sight is 20/20 as I really should have just kept them home.  The roads were ridiculous!  School should have been cancelled and if I was guessing I would say that tomorrow they will cancel school and it will stop snowing and be a semi-nice day-the school district got a lot of sh*t today on facebook (which they deleted-but some of us saw) for not closing school.

I did work some from home.  I DO ADMIT that I didn’t do as much as I told myself I would do.  This morning when I fed, I got to take my time.  Usually I am rushing around like a fast walking, fast hay throwing, water flinging wild woman of the west! This morning all the horses got a curry combing and some petting time.  It was fantastic.  Even though it was cold outside this morning, in the stall barn I was in HEAVEN. It wasn’t that cold inside and it was so nice taking my time!  Tonight I dawdled a little, but it was colder!  And much snowier!  We have over 20 inches and it is still snowing.  I have been THANKING GOD that we are getting this much snow (and that I got a snow day)!

The peepettes have talked me into letting them stay home tomorrow if the roads are still this bad and it is still snowing (if a snow day is not called).  I may not win the best mom of the year but I will be the most popular MOMMY-O in my household (WHICH I LOVE)!

When the peepettes got home and after they fed their  4-H animals, they went sledding in their cowboy boots (as they had left their snow boots outside and they got COVERED AND LOST by the snow).  They had a blast as you can see!  AND…I had so much fun watching them from the warm house with a brewski in hand!

Hope all of your are soaking up the sun somewhere warm OR AT LEAST staying warm  in all this snow.

I leave you tonight saying SNOW ON!  HEHEHEH!
