Here and Now

Sarah Kate is having Fall pictures made at school today. She was upset about this dress because she said she did not ride a bus. She argued that this was for children that rode on a bus. Oh well, bus rider or not, I think the dress is cute!

We have been boring lately and I am okay with that! Not too much going on with us lately.

My Dad is doing pretty well. A Z-pack from the doctor has seemed to help his cough. He would be doing a lot better if it were not for his broken ankle. His mother, my Grandmama, broke both of her ankles in her later years. She did not break them at the same time but a few years apart. My Dad inherited her SKINNY ankles that seem to snap like twigs. Unfortunately, I did not get that trait. My ankles look mighty sturdy.

I had a physical on Friday and got a great report. I had been wanting to do this for several years now. My Mom has heart and cholesterol troubles. I was curious to see how I was doing. I need to exercise more. Well, exercise. Not more, because I don't do any now.

I understand about the exercise. I recently had everything checked out too and found out that everything was A ok except my HDL was VERY low. :( I have a hard time being consistent with exercise.

I say I need to exercise "more" too... even though I just mean exercise period...(It sounds better)! Haha! Glad that your daddy is doing better!

Aww..I love the dress!!! How funny that she thought it was for children who ride busses. Kids never cease to amaze me :)

I know all your blog readers laugh when they read your blog, but I am certain I laugh harder. B/c I know IN REAL LIFE FOR MANY YEARS the girl that would say her ankles are sturdy. I love you!!!

I CRACK UP every time I read one of your blog posts. Your ankles look mighty sturdy. That made my day, Laurie. Love that SK thought she should not wear that dress. I'd like to put all of our girls alone in a room with a candid camera and see what happens.

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
