Not for the faint of heart...
I watched this tonight: http://www.180movie.com/
Michael actually brought it home on DVD from a pastors' conference he attended earlier this week. I had seen the first few minutes from where it was shared on http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/ (one of my large family/adoption bloggers).
Y'all, if you don't have the heart or the stomach to watch this, because parts of it are TOUGH,
Know this.... 53 million babies have been killed in abortions since Roe v. Wade.
I don't talk politics much, or at all really, and I'm not all that confrontational about hot button issues.
But y'all, those are babies.
Gone forever.
Babies that would have been little girls and little boys and then big boys and big girls...and... y'all.
That is enough.

Happy Halloween!
My sister says this is unfair typecasting... I choose no comment.
I am a California raisin. Yes I am. SHUT UP. I AM!
Minnie Mouse...with a questionable makeup job...
evidently, I was REALLY excited about being a witch.
that's right, cone. head!

Cowgirl Day

80s Day
Professional Day (she has no idea what "when you grow up" means)
Homecoming T-shirt day... also known as, refusal to get off the stroller that is still parked inside the house from Wednesday because I can't figure out how to fold it down without losing my temper day and trying to get pictures otherwise also result in meltdown of small child day

Evidently, we've lost our minds...
There is a fish in a trifle dish on our table...

I won, I won, I won!
Y'all...winning stuff is not my norm...except that one time, that my name was drawn in college for the Shoot for Tuition contest...which trust me, sounds as bad as it was... especially when you aren't a basketball player!
But, Mama M and her random generator super tool picked me to win a copy of Soul Surfer! (Y'all should know that Mama is the sponsor of 5 questions (see my participation here and here most recently)
And now I'm getting a DVD...in the mail... in however many days it takes to get from here to deep South Georgia!
Hoorah!

bouncing back...slowly
So as you may know, my last rising to Internet connection related to surviving the virus, version 10.2.2011
To say that it caused a major default in my activity level, including blogging, would be a major understatement. I am JUST NOW getting to the point where I actually want to eat and want to get anything accomplished. And, as a side note, I have JUST NOW finally finished putting up all the loads of clothes made possible by the virus. Yes, I am that good of a housekeeper. You're welcome for your dose of reality.
I've got pictures forth coming from our two adventures last week... Hayley's class went to the fire station (and trust me, that warrants a post in itself) and we also spent a few hours at the local Kolomoki Festival, because if nothing else, my Mama installed in me the need to attend all local festivals during the months of October and November, because its just what you do...and that is logic enough. (even though Michael doesn't always share the logical aspect of my argument).
Also, in synopsis (which I hope I spelled right), this is what show and tell for Hayley has looked like at school.
Week 1: Baby Doll (she said she was taking a beach ball until we got out of the car and school and then decided she wanted to take the Baby Doll instead)
Week 2: Beach Ball (from previous week)
Week 3: Kitchen Whisk (although, this was cut short by pinkeye)
Week 4: Clifford book and stuffed Clifford dog (also cut short by random unexplained stomach issue)
Week 5: 2 locust shells inside a pink princess tupperware container
Week 6: green blanket (what are you going to tell them about your blanket? "that its soft. and I like it")
Week 7: 7 grandparents. Well, not really, they weren't for show and tell but it was grandparents lunch and that's how many Hayley has (counting her great-grands, which we do)...well actually, she has 8, but one was sick and didn't get to go. So, if your kid goes to this same school next year and there is a limit on grandparents, we did that. We apologize.

Way Back...seriously?
School Picture Day... also known as "Man, I am looking cool today but not when I look at these pictures later" day
(and I tried to stay semi in order, but I get a little off...bear with it, and hello, be thankful, here is more than 10 instances where my fashion..er, I don't know that I'd call it sense, is in true form!)

ok, here's where we back track a little...
Mama made this shirt!
Junior year... I think

Y'all, I mean it now, if my clothes that I am wearing NOW are as bad as some of these... PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND FASHIONABLE...T.E.L.L. M.E.
