| Ready to be scattered |
Seems like my brain is thinking in snippets lately. My last few blog posts are reflecting that. Sorry!
Since I am sans camera – no sewing project for Tuesday’s post. There is a fun little beginning sewing project lined up for next Tuesday though! (I should get my camera back today or tomorrow. Hooray!)
The BYU Women’s Conference page has posted some of the session handouts here. No transcripts of talks or sharing station handouts yet though. I’ll let you know when they are posted.
Thanks to all of you who participated in last week’s Wordfull Wednesday: Lessons From Motherhood. It was quite enjoyable to read everyone’s thoughts. Another wonderful post to read is this one about what mothers are and are not.
Next week’s Wordfull Wednesday is a break from tradition. May 12th is “Limerick Day.” I thought it would stretch your brains a little to write a limerick. 🙂 Need instructions? Here’s a simple rundown. Need a topic? How about something from motherhood: laundry, baking, cleaning, book reading, or even singing in the shower. And if your brain really gets the ball rolling why not write two or three?
I failed my glucose test. Have to go in next week for the three-hour, blood drawn four times test. Oh joy.
I am in like with this bunk room concept. Must show this to Mr. Ferrero Rocher!
Finally, I don’t know where my boy comes up with some of his antics. A couple of week’s ago in Primary Sharing Time (church class for children) the teacher explained to the children that she brought rice krispie treats for all those who were participating in the lesson and being reverent. All the kids immediately started to settle down, sit up straighter in their chairs and became quiet. Right then my son said, “If you like treats raise your hand!” The response from the children was immediate hand raising followed by “I like treats!” or “Me!” etc. And the other teachers laughing. So much for the reverence. Seriously I don’t know where he gets it. . .
. . .actually I take that back. I think I know exactly where he gets it . . .
. . . Grandpa V, my dad.
This past Sunday Special Dark’s Primary teacher (who also happens to be my sister-in-law) informed me that while they were discussing obedience in their lesson SD honestly stated, “I’m only obedient about half the time.” Silly boy.

I love the bunk beds! What a great use of space. If not obedient all the time, he is honest. That’s close to obedient.
“I’m only obedient about half the time”…nice…but he’s honest 100% of the time! 🙂 That’s gotta count for a treat or something! 🙂
That bunk room is AWESOME! 🙂
Last year my son walked into his classroom and announced to his class, “I have no underware on, but don’t tell my Mom, she makes me wear it!”
I wanted to be mad, but really, that kid cracks me up! I love little boys…they say and to the funniest things! 🙂
Ditto on loving the bunk bed set up. Your little boy sounds like a lot of fun!
I am also in Like with that bunk bed, I just need a bigger house.:) Love the antics of little boys.:) I also failed my first glucose test once and had to do the full 3 hour test. Passed just fine the second time, but oh so boring, take a good book.:)
The bunk idea is cool – but just consider fighting the fitted sheet onto those top bunks while pregnant. Definitely a job to delegate. I also failed my glucose test last pregnancy and had to do the long one. I was all settled in for the long haul with my needlework when in walked my husband with a brand spanking new baby names book! He took the morning off of work to hold my hand and we finally decided on a list of names we could live with for that baby!
Can’t wait for the next sewing lesson — it’s a regret I have that I never let my mom teach me while she was alive, but I’m hoping she’ll sit in with me sometimes while I’m trying to teach myself.
Great post! LOVE the bunk beds. Fitted sheet and a duvae (sp?) As Mr. FR calls him “That little pot-licker!”
as a person in the stages of moving four girls into one room (there are currently three in the room) I would LOVE those bunk beds! gah! gorgeous. They would be great for a holiday house too for extra bed space!
my kids say crazy things all the time
Those bunk beds are amazing! Great for a family with lots of kids! Or in a vacation home where lots of beds are needed in one room.
My husband was Superintendent in the home building business (before going back to school when the economy tanked…) and built multi-million dollar homes (gorgeous, mountain, vacation homes for the rich basically..) that had bunk rooms downstairs for the guest rooms and I LOVED it! Having only 1 child I don’t really have a need for it but it is a genius idea. It would be perfect at your house! 🙂
Loved the bunk beds picture; it is a grea idea. I also, enjoyed your thoughts and will do one of the Wednesday’s soon.
Blessings to you!
You know the fridge needs to be cleaned
When from the cupboards you’ve gleaned
Not a bowl in the place
The smell won’t erase
And things that aren’t veggies are green
Love the bed idea.
P.S. Out of 3 pregnancies I’ve never done the glucose test. Midwife said it wasn’t necessary unless a pregnant woman was exhibiting signs of GD.
Totally in love with those bunk beds!
I’m too late for the limerick, but my brain is a little fried right now, so it’s probably for the best!
showed your picture of the bunk bed to a builder and guess what? We are having it installed next week. He also said ‘thanks a lot’ cause now his wife is having him build one in their house too.
