Sweet.

E. had his first grade program last night.

He needed a white shirt, and being a mom of practical mindset, I've never bought him a solid white shirt. So after school, we headed over to Shopko (the nearest store to our house) to pick one up.

As we pulled into the parking lot I said,

"We should pray so we don't have to run all over town looking for a white shirt..."

"Okay," said E.

I began, "Jesus, help us find a white shirt in E.'s size right here at Shopko. Help it to be the kind he wants and help it to be less than twenty dollars."

E. continued, "And Lord, if you're going to answer this prayer really nicely, let it be less than ten dollars."

He answered our prayers.

To the tune of a long sleeved white button down with a sweet clip-on tie.
For $17.99.
I guess maybe God was too busy to change the sale signs at Shopko yesterday just for us...

The program was great.

E. was a hippo.

Love a school program.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched.
