Remember To Dance

Craig & I danced yesterday for the 1st time, in a long while. I fell in love with this song the very first time my ears heard it. Then, we danced.....

Follow Me There

I have lots to post about but very little time. I've just updated Alexis' school website with details about how she is liking her new school, "Learning Their Way", private school. Click the link above with the apple to follow me there.

Eventful

Today was suppose to be rather uneventful other than Londyn and I were going to meet a friend for lunch. After dropping Alexis off at school (she loooooves her new school) I decided that Londyn and I would go to the park to play. She chased the squirrels and charged the birds instead. She finally discovered that she likes to slide on the slides and say "hi" to every stranger in the park. Another mom was there playing with her son and she stated that I looked very familiar. By the time we ended up leaving, I had made a new friend. Becky and her husband own the new U-Pick/We Pick Verticle Hydroponic Growing System here in town where you can go and pick your own Strawberries & Produce. I can't wait to go pick fresh produce and I can already taste the goodness over store bought any day. We connected instantly and I felt like I have known her for years. We plan on getting together to let our kids play; they are the same age. Later, after I picked Alexis up from school, we decided to stop in at one of the stores in Gruene. We had some time to kill and the girls and I were not ready to head home for the day to face homework. We went into an adorable store that was once called Lady Jane's.....I'm forgetting the new name for some reason now. They have beautiful home decor. Everything was my taste and matches the colors of my home perfectly. I took a few pieces home to see if they will work. Everything I had my eye on is 50% off. So, I think I'm going to have my dining room complete with these beautifully adorned dinner plates that add a splash of unexpected color to the room. The girls and I ended up strolling through the shops in Gruene and got caught up in buying $5 worth of fudge. We'll stay away from the fudge the next time we are in Gruene. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings our way!

Londyn's "Black" Molar

The other day, as I was cuddling with Londyn on the gliding rocking chair, with her big, beautiful, white front teeth in view, it prompted me to exam her mouth to see if any new teeth were trying to poke their way through. To my surprise she was breaking two, new top molars. To my astonishment, one of the molars was black inside. I immediately thought that her tooth was decaying because of the fact that I had not realized that her molars had already made their way through. Therefore, they had not been brushed. For how long had they not been brushed was my question??? So, I laid her down and began an intensive examination, all the while, she didn't make the task very easy. After examining the molar, I really thought it had begun to abscess under the gum and was starting to decay. I remember thinking to myself, why is she not in pain? I then began to brush her molar with a tooth brush and the black was not budging. I continued to brush hoping that she had just eaten something that dark and it was just stuck in her tooth. Then it came loose. What was it you ask? An ant. Yes, my daughter must of been eating ants. I'm glad she didn't get stung....or did she?

An Amusing Experience

Londyn found it very amusing as she said her name for the first time yesterday. She would first, say her name and then giggle. She repeated this verbalization over and over again. Of course, you may of not been able to make out what she was saying, but her mama and big sister could. Alexis is the one who brought it to my attention that she was saying her name for the 1st time. Alexis was just as excited as`she. The joy Alexis had on her face for Londyn was like that of a mother's joy; just extended to her little sister.

16 Years Later

During my senior year of high school, although I can't remember exactly how we met, there was a new girl in class and she was tall & blonde!Instantly we became friends. Our friendship lasted about a year and then she moved away to Mississippi; Natchez that is. We wrote each other a few times and then our lives faded and passed into the distance when I moved away and went to college; she the same. A few days ago, I did a facebook search and found her. I wasn't sure if it was her at first since her maiden name was followed my her married name. So, I sent her a message and received a message back after sixteen years with the subject line reading "Oh My Goodness"! I had often thought about her and often wondered what ever became of her and her life. We were like kindred spirits (just meaning we were close like sisters). She was a bit of a free spirit and we endured alot during our friendship. She looks exactly the same, as if time has just stood still. I do believe, that I probably look different to her than I did back then. I hope to visit her one day or at least keep up with her for the next 16+ years. This is my friend, Jenna! So glad we've connected again.
