I found this on the computer the other day and kind of love it. I put it on my phone and am using it was one of my wallpaper/screensaver choices. There's just something so pleasing about the colors, the composition and the sideways smile.Whitney has got some skills!
I emailed my mom early Monday morning before I left for work to let her know that the kids were going to be stuck at home all day on their last day of summer vacation. I didn't know if she had a busy day planned (she usually does) but thought she might take pity on them if she knew their plight. They got home shortly after I did and had been out for lunch at Sonic and then at the grocery store playing a game while she shopped. She saved the day!
Last week at work they ordered lunch from Olive Garden for all the teachers and brought the other secretary and I some as well. We were totally swamped and unable to leave for lunch, so having this deluxe meal given to us that day was truly a treat. I even ate (and loved) the chicken! And I really, really loved the white cake (it's a weakness and very rare treat for me). We were so busy it took us over 2 hours to nibble at our lunch in-between phone calls!
The kids have been messing around with my iPhone and I found this picture Whitney had taken of our big clock. It has our photo wall reflected in it and it's sort of muted but I think it's pretty cool.
I had to empty my church bag so that a friend of mine could fix the handles for me, and I was amazed that I had this much stuff in there! I promise those aren't used tissues! I tend to grab a wad to stick in my bag (I never know if it's going to be a cry-fest kind of Sunday or not) and am always replenishing them, but I guess these were trapped under my books because I had no idea there were so many in there. Speaking of cry-fests, our fabulous bishopric is getting released next Sunday so I'll have to reload my bag again!
**How was your week?
Do you enjoy white cake?
Do you carry tissues with you?**

I HAVE A FAN ON MY BATHROOM COUNTER TOO!!!
I get so hot getting ready- so hot always... it's crazy.
Lunch- that was so awesome & I love that your mom saved the day for the kids.
This week was okay here- we Made It through the first week of school- feeew! with the new challenge trent is dealing with I was the one who had the most anxiety (I think?) All is good & well. He & Hailey are having anxiety free days & now--- so can I.
I love all cake-
I HAVE to have tissues with me, not for crying- but allergies-yuck
What a lunch! And to think you didn't have to eat it in your car. (However, I must admit, lunch in a car with a book is pretty grand.)
I like cake.
I like clean tissues.
What a mom - grandma to take your kids and include them in her busy day.
my week was pretty great. this is my first week of part time and i'm loving it so far. i have yet to get a smaller check so i might not like it that much then.
i do not really like white cake. i usually go for chocolate.
i always have tissues in my car, purse, etc.
i love whitney's art work, she is such a creative girl.
I can't believe you got a ticket! Bummer.
Hooray for Grandma saving the day! (and you loving chicken!)
It is not at all wrong to dream of having an air-conditioned vanity. I may have to bring a fan into the bathroom, too. I can hardly stand to get ready. I can't even remember the last time I used a hair dryer.
That picture of the things from your church bag reminds me of my grandma. She always had a little bundle of tissues in all of her purses and pockets. I carry tissues to church.
Sometimes church makes me have a cry fest too. Luci had Eucharist at her school today and parents are invited so I went. I cried the whole time. Everything our priest said seemed to touch me, it was one of those day.
Whitney DOES have some serious skills. I am impressed with the photo and the computer image.
I bet if I had your mother as my own she would have sat with my kids in the surgery center wait room Tuesday when Eliot was having her surgery at 6:10 a.m.!! It's kinda hard to find a sitter that early so we loaded Luci and Griffin up with a laptop and snacks and told them to stay put until Eliot got out of recovery.
How nice to be treated to lunch and what is it about white bread (white cake) that makes it so good? I REALLy watch what I eat but white cake with white icing does make me drool at times. I usually eat lunch at my desk at the office but when our CEO treats us out to lunch I make the most of it!
9:30 is the best bedtime! Hope you can swing that....
Love Whitney's drawings! Always so clever..
Sorry about your ticket! I received a ticket years ago while visiting Utah. 25mph. I was going 30. Really? I thought I was going a snail's pace...
I'm really not a cake person - but if it is really great - I will eat some..
I have tissues with me at.all.times! I, apparently, cry often!
Enjoy your weekend!
Yes--I always have tissues in my purse, Sunday bag, car, etc. I just can't stand to be without one when in need. My family members have thanked me numerous times. When we went through my mother's purses after she died, every single one had several neatly-folded tissues in it just waiting to come to someone's rescue.
I have to bring a fan into my small bathroom, too. I get too darn irritable if I'm sweating and hot before I'm even ready for the day.
I can't believe how fast the week went. And I got up a couple of times at 6:45 with the older kids. For the first week of school, it went pretty well.
I do like white cake, I prefer chocolate but my neighbor made the best white cake cupcakes. Seriously, the best I have ever tasted.
Tissues are a must.
My week has been CRAZY! First it was busy getting school supplies all taken care of...then that got sidetracked by the hurricane that is supposed to be hitting us tomorrow morning. I've been buying water, food (non-perishable), snacks, and ice in preparation for not having power for several days. We've got a well, so if we don't have power we don't get water. We just filled the bathtubs with water so we can use that to flush the toilets... it is going to be a LONG night, and even longer few days if we lose power. I am sure we will. School is supposed to start on Wednesday, and now it might not. I'm feeling not ready all of a sudden, when a few days ago I was ready!
I always have wads of tissues with me too. Usually because I have a drippy nose, not because of crying (although on occasion). :)
Hope you have a good weekend!
we made it through week 2 of school for Carly. It was probably our best 2nd week ever. Typically that is the week when we all fall apart.
I keep tissues in my purse and I have some in my Bible case. I put them in a snack size zip lock. I fold them in one at a time so when I pull one out it isn't the whole wad. I'm a little OCD :o)
White cake is a weakness for me too! One of my favorite things :)
I have to clean out my bag every single sunday before church and am shocked at the trash and junk from just one hour of sacrament meeting. Sheesh! And I NEVER have tissues and ALWAYS need one :)
Hooray for your mom coming to the rescue! And they had fun.
We have a standing fan in our bathroom but I could still use about 10 more--I get so overheated from a shower then blow drying my hair and flat-ironing it--I have to do it in stages or take breaks. I get so grumpy!
That lunch sure looks yummy--how thoughtful--especially since you've been having to work through lunch.
My purse is usually scary.
White cake is not a fave, but it's still cake. :)
hey missy sorry about the police car....that sucks...and I feel exactly the same way you do....why not stop those other ones..... your bag is beginning to look like mine? could this be?
