Monkey PJs

After church I did my weekly shopping at Walmart, normally Sam's. Kylie has grown out of her some of her clothes. I found some Denim shorts for $4.00! I also found a pair of cute monkey pjs. I showed them a Kylie Monday night, just before she fell asleep on the couch, she loved them. Tuesday morning she was as happy as a lark, being so sweet. She tried on all of her clothes, even her big girl panties...tinkerbell & princess...she wet them within 15 min. of putting them on. We were walking to the barn so she could show Papa her new dud's. I tried to get her to potty before we left....I fine. Then...tinkle time. She is not interested!!! When we came back from the barn, she said....I put on my monkey's, which she wore most of the day.

A 2 year old who knows where she is going?

Kylie must have a great sense of direction. The other day we went to Hahira, as we started home she began to fuss. Not go that way, I don't want to go this way, go the other way. She did not want to go back toward our house!! As we got closer home, she continued to fuss! She would tell me again, I not want to go this way! Who knows what is going in her mind, she usually does not want to leave the house. I will ask her if she wants to go to the grocery, no, I fine!

Kylie

Kylie is a character. I must blog this so I don't forget. When she came home Monday night she was not happy. Grannie Connie usually takes Kylie to the park. She did not get to this time & Kylie was pouting. She came on the back porch & told me she wanted to go to the park. I said we can go right here to the park, you have a swing & a slide, she did not like it, but took me up on it. After a while we came inside, she wanted Chick-fil-a chicken nuggets...she also wants to go inside now, her Mom took her to the playground! Her excuse is...she does not want to get her clothes dirty. She also told us she wanted Pizza, I told her I had some in the freezer & I would fix it for her. She informed me she did not want that kind....she wanted Pizza Hut....I have never taken her to Pizza Hut!!! She is ROTTEN!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

We decided to stay home this year & let our employee off so he could enjoy the weekend. Kylie was at her Dad's side of the family. Friday night we took Cayla & Austin to eat at the Ravine. It was so good. Except the salad, now the only reason it was not good was because I got choked on a small...tiny piece of spring lettuce!!!! I am talking major, not getting much air!!! It was the first bite so I still had a mouthful of lettuce. I knew I was in trouble, but I had to get out of the restaurant...I did take my napkin with me...guess why!! I know gross, but now I am gasping for air & getting very little!!! I walked straight to the door to go outside, trying to cough it up, not working..I remember thinking..can I drive myself to the hospital like this....I was not going back in the Ravine, choking! Cayla, Austin & WB were looking for me. O:K, if I am not in the ladies room...come & hunt me outside...Cayla did, but did not see me. All I could do was just keep walking, she did not walk on out & around the corner. I just finally did the finger removal & coughed until it finally came out!!! It was very small, needless to say. Yes, you can go ahead & laugh, it is funny. Thank goodness the Ravine was not busy, just two more tables with people at them so I was only embarrassed twice! My throat was still scratchy Saturday. It may be awhile before I eat the ravine salad again. Lynn & Lindsey came in & we visited with them a little Sunday. Monday I sewed on my new machine. It was a nice weekend.

Faye

Just wanted to let you know we did not let Faye slow us down to much. We ate out Friday night. I had to go get Cayla a cake on Saturday, plus I had some gifts to buy. Martha met me & we got wet together. We also got pedicures. It was so nice, we enjoyed...until Martha dropped her cell phone in the tub for your feet....yep, it was full. That guy went to fishing in that tub with his hand & of course we did not know the phone had dropped! They were so nice, they took the battery out, quickly, & dried it in front of the fan. After a day or so the phone is working fine!!!

Happy 18th Cayla

Cayla & friends were going out to eat and to a movie on her b-day...Friday. Well, Faye had a few things to say about this. Some of the girls were a little worried about the weather and rightly so! They canceled & will reschedule. She did enjoy lunch at Red Lobster with her grandparents, Jenny & Casey. That night we brought her home a steak....she had a candle light dinner!! As the night went on she was not feeling well. Sat. was worse, Sunday throat hurting....we did her cake Sun. night. I bought this cake & it was not good, will use a different bakery next time! Today we went to Dr., she may have strep.??? Cayla & her friends did go eat & to the movies a week after her birthday!

Valdosta Technical College-Casey

Well, it looks like we are going to have two students at Val. Tech. After 2 1/2 years, MommaJ finally feels like she is able to survive, while Mom goes to school! It was just impossible until now! We are so excited for Casey to be able to further her education!!! We thought, well we can wait until Kylie goes to school & still be 2 years behind where we are, or just go ahead & take the plunge!!! We are diving right in. Just pray that we will not kill each other during this time! Also pray that the girls will have the strength to persevere during the tough times! They will also have to be accepted into the program!!! It may take more time to finish but I know they can do it!!!

Kylie is so funny these days. She loves to sing. She sings Jesus loves the Little Children, The B-i-b-l-e, etc. She loves to play with her bucket & shovel down at Papa's barn. She also love's his tools!!! One of the new things she is doing.....you can ask her what she is doing, if she is doing something wrong she will say, nuttin Mema. If you walk in the room & she is into what she isn't supposed to be she does the same. She will also come & find you and tell you nuttin Mema. Sometimes we tell her, girl you are silly or crazy....she will say, "I not silly, I Kywie!!!! Cracks me up!!!! She loves to watch Peter Pan & The Jungle Book. She also loves books!

Casey Ready to go to college.

Last week Winston & I decided to talk to Casey about taking some classes along with her sister at the tech college. Cayla is there now. With Casey being a single mom she will qualify for a pell grant. She wants to go to school also, but will need to work to pay her gas & phone bill. She filled out the papers and found out today that she did receive 2 grants. We are very excited. She sill take a math class to help her with the algebra. And a computer class.
