Odds and Ends

For some reason I just can’t seem to get enough sleep this week. Maybe it’s all the rainy days we’ve had, I’m not sure. All I know is when the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I’m not ready to get up. Bob and I take turns hitting the snooze, hoping to get a few extra minutes. Of course, it always seems you’re in your deepest sleep in between snoozes, so getting back up to turn the clock off is even harder.

Mya received some nice gifts this week. Susanne brought her a harmonica from Emily’s Gymboree class. Mya loves her harmonica! I’m not sure how much mom likes it since she’s the one that has to listen to it all day! LOL! Since Papaw plays the harmonica, or French harp, as he calls it, Mya loves to take hers over and play with Papaw Pete. I really need to get pictures of that! I have pictures of Mya and Andrew playing their guitars together, but I think that’s the only “musical” pictures I have. Mya really thought she was something playing her “electric” guitar that looks real similar to Andrew’s Warlock. Okay, I wondered off there, see what I mean about my mind clutter! Back to the gifts! Earlier in the week, Lisa called and told mom to ask us to stop by, she had Mya’s belated birthday present. We stopped and lo and behold, it was an umbrella! Mya loved it! For some reason she’s had a strange fascination with umbrella’s lately. We assume it’s because Maddi brought hers over and they played together with Maddi’s. All we’ve heard from Mya, before getting the umbrella from Joe and Lisa is that Santa Claus is going to bring her an umbrella, and one day she informed me that the Tooth Fairy will leave an umbrella for her when her teeth fall out. Oh well! Thanks Joe and Lisa! Now we have to pack Mya’s harmonica and umbrella in her bag that goes with her to moms each morning. I think her bag is going to have to turn into a large suitcase!

We’re still working on the Home Of The Innocents project, see our blog at http://operationhappinessandhope.blogspot.com/. We’re trying to see how many people will be interested in playing in a corn hole tournament. So far we have about 6 people that have committed to playing. We still need more people! My goal is to get at least 10 teams.

Andrew and James are still apartment hunting! Anyone know of anyone that has an apartment or house for rent? Cheap? And in a good neighborhood?

Well, to get with the times, I opened and started a Face Book account yesterday! Jenny was the one that got me started on Face Book months ago, but I only set up an account, I didn’t do anything with it. Since I haven’t talked to Jenny in a long time, I decided to go see if I could find her on there, well, lo and behold, there she was, as well as so many people I went to school with, so I invited some high school classmates, as well as a couple of teachers I had, to be my friends. Can’t wait to see who accepts me!

I hope everyone is doing well! Be sure to comment on our Operation Happiness and Hope blog if you would like to participate in the corn hole tournament!

TTFN!
