It Didn't Turn Out As Planned

So we picked up the surprise guest on Thursday.

She was fine until 10:30pm last night. THAT is when she started crying wanting her mommy. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be her weekend at Daddy's house. So her mom was working her 2nd job. She was not going to be off work until 2am (today). I have known these people for 11 years, but I never once got Madison's dad's phone number. Oops.... might want to get that for next time! lol

Anyways....we convinced her that everything would be fine and we could call her mom today.

Of course, I was honestly hoping she would be fine and just agree to stay again tonight. HOWEVER.... we went to get something to eat around 6:30pm and she decided to remind us that she hasn't talked to her mom about going home.

Well, I have no voice! When I open my mouth, NOTHING comes out! Okay! AIR comes out, but no sound! (That's going to make for great singing at church tomorrow!)

So, I pulled up her mom's number in my phone. Dialed it. Waited for it to start ringing. Then I passed it to my hubby! (This is the same man who HATES talking on the phone!)

Here is the conversation I heard:

Tony: Hey (Madison's mom) it's Tony. Call us when you get this message.

Just a few minutes later, this is what I heard.

Tony: Hey. She says she wants to come home. Are you at home?

T: Well, we're at (name of restaurant) near the (grocery store). Okay I'll talk to you then.



Me: What did she say?

T: She's going to call (stepmom) to tell her where we are.

Me: What about all her stuff? It's at our house!

T: I don't know. I just told her what you said to tell her!


Phone rings:

T: She's coming here? Okay. When? Her stuff is at our house.

T: Bye


Later:

Me: What did she say?

T: (Stepmom) is on her way.

Me: Her stuff?

T: Oh! Pack it and they will get it later.

Me: Tonight?

T: I don't know.




WHY oh WHY do I lose my voice? lol It took 4 conversations with Madison's mom to find out that they are going to come by probably tomorrow afternoon to get her stuff. If not, they will come by on Monday!

The surprise left my baby heartbroken! :(

So....on the way home, we went by to see my parents--a surprise that NEVER disappoints!

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
