So Coach came over today to ask me if I would be so kind to keep his daughter at the house until her dance at 6pm. well of course I will as long as I get to beat her….. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! no really I don’t mind….

While I was getting things ready D Fly asks me.” Hey mom, why is C. here….?”

 

Me: Well coach came over and said he wasn’t going to make it all the way home and back in enough time for her to get to the dance so we are keeping her here till it is time…

 

D: Oh I wanted to go to that dance too….

 

Me:………….No…… ^th graders aren’t aloud to go to that…… really…. okay you are not aloud too…. *Goes in the house as the girls are arguing with me * * STOMP STOMP*

 

D:………………

 

Girls:……………….

 

Me:……….I don’t have the money for you to go. You should have told me sooner so I could make sure the money was there.

 

D…..I have money in my room. I can pay my own way……

 

Me:………

 

So we are sitting and the girls are having a snack. Fresh made bread hot out of the oven. I called in D~FLY

 

Me: so with all the girls here I think they will agree with me when I tell you that no girl at the dance wants to look and dance with some boy that is more mud than boy.. that has so much dirt on him he could roll into a ball and we could roll him through the yard pretending he is tumbleweed. They want to look at a boy that is clean cut and showered without the mud.

 

GIRLS: OH YEAH!

 

D~FLY: * Laughing uncontrollably*

 

Me: so if you want to go to this shindig I suggest that you clean yourself up and take a shower and make yourself NOT A MUD BALL… and think about eating ect.

 

Before the rest of the words left my mouth he was in the shower. Came out looking like a fine young man all ready to go with a great shirt on and everything. He was eating… and well he is STILL A BOY… his shirt needed changing again. And he had no clean clothes. LOL. He found something that was hiding in the closet though. : )

 

He grabbed his money and as he was walking out the door I gave him a $5 that I had stashed.

 

D: no I got it mom.

 

Me: this way you have more money in case you need something while you are there…

 

D: okay

 

Me: how much is this thing…..

 

D:2$

 

Girls: 3 DOLLARS… Shesh DUH! (so valley girl these girls)

 

D: Oh okay

 

All out on the porch… Next door neighbor P (that D has a crush on BTW.. don’t tell him I told you though) is over at the house and the girls are going on and on about this and that. I forgot that us girls were like that. Some of us still are. (Shush Mom I know I am like that still) than all the sudden…

 

P: so My boyfriend was going to pay my way in so I could go and NOW he like got grounded and can’t go SO I am walking you both over ….

 

D: I could pay your way……

 

P: REALLY?

 

D: Yeah I have 7 dollars that will pay for both of us….

 

P:…… ok……….

 

ME: BUT THAT means you OWE HIM BIG…. I think you two should have to give him a kiss in front of all his 6^th grade friends. Seeing as how you are all 7^th graders and all…..

 

D: * hiding behind me laughing HUGE grin* Nooooooooooo Not that…..

 

C: I’LL DO IT!

* Just so you know there was NO WAY those girls were going to do it. cracked me up to see thier faces after he nearly ran behind me they all agreed there would be NO KISSING  THANK YOU GOD!* 

Well on that note they were all off. Laughing and talking and on their way to the dance. MY BABY BOY IS GOING TO HIS FIRST DANCE………………..!!!!!

 

I AM NOT OLD ENOUGH FOR THIS!

 

Really does he look so ALL growed up…?

He still plays with an etch a scetch at the swim meets… and makes an amazing sword on it too. ….

Old MOMMA D~Fly out!

I have been lucky enough hat through my transformation I am blessed to have people around me that are holding me up, helping me better myself and all around encourage me. Now I never stopped to think that I might too be that for someone else as well (in the beginning). But I have now been contacted by 7 people asking me to help them. Tell them were to start and look to me for guidance. Because of this…. I now have new people in my life I never saw coming. This morning was no exception.

 

I was upstairs getting a few pointers from my “muscle coach” when in walks a person from my past. I have kept in contact with her here and there over the years. And newly on facebook she has been watching all I do. But with that I had the pleasure of telling her things that will help in what she wants to do. We all know I get up at an unGodly time in the morning to get things done for my self with kids at home with Hubby waiting for me to get them ready for school. But here she walks in. all ready to go.

 

What a blessing to have her there with me this morning. Believe me I was thinking about skipping the rest of the workout this morning. I had already skipped running. : ) knowing that I would be doing it latter in the day with Missy…..SO here I am going to cut myself short because why? I was tired. Plain and simple, just tired. There she walked in. God sent her there this morning. To help me move my body. After getting coach in on it. Were should I start her. Same place as me kinda thing. Well than he needs goals and such. It is wonderful to be forced to put it out there. Were someone is hearing it and will keep you honest with yourself about your goals. He puts you on the spot. So there she was in the hot seat. Once that was figured out. He explained what to do. And we were off…..

 

Talk about making me do what I am supposed to do. I was gonna go on face book and own up that I didn’t do anything but swim. BUT God had other plans. He wanted me to continue to move my body…. so without knowing it…. she was an unexpected Blessing. She Nor I knew that she would be the blessing that I needed today.

 

With that… my other blessing… Missy… she is sick and not feeling well. She had that darned chest cold that everyone is coming up with. So If you can. Take the time to hit your knees she has a big race coming up and she is in need of her health and strength to get through it.

 

On that note…. Find a Blessing that is crossing your path today and take the time to thank him or her for being your blessing. You may not have even known you needed.

 

Tri on……
