It’s all my Fault

So I wrote at the end of my last post that we were heading for a local
amusement park! I also said that I would take lots of pictures …If I remembered my camera…Well the good news is I did…the bad news is i forgot my card! Sorry! It was still in the dock from my last major upload~

So here is a couple of highlights….

1.
There is a water park attached. And in that water park there is a
Kiddies pool. Well Lady bug Loves the water. Tornado Does not!!!!
Anyway so there are two small slides that go into very shallow
water…Lady bug immediately loved this. Slides and water her two
favorite things!! Well she went down the slide about 3 times the
conventional way..you know sitting up n your bum feet facing forward!
Well she was doing this all alone with Daddy standing at the bottom
waiting for here..with Tornado when she decided to go down face first
on her belly!…Yep i know that would have made a REALLY cute picture
but alas! Anyway she REALLY loved that so she quickly got out of the
pool and walked up the ramp again..Except for this time the slide went
faster than it had any other of the four times she went down. She went
face first into the pool with an immediate reaction from both daddy and
the life guard. The funny thing it is she was all upset she wanted to
do it again and we had decided to head to another water park ride.

2.
The next ride was a floating ride where you sit on an inner tube and
float down a river, At three different spots there are places where you
get completely soaked if you manage to get under the water umbrella or
two waterfalls. Tornado sat on Daddy’s Lap and Lady bug sat on my
lap….We went at different time because someone had to stay with vug!
I think Mommy and daddy liked this a whole lot more than the other
two!! I think Lady bug liked it as long as there was not water pouring
over her head!

3. We only did two water things..here wasn’t much
we could do with three small kids and then we moved onto the kiddie
park. Where tornado and Lady bug got to ride in a T-Bird!!! A little
motorized car on a track..They had a blast…however at the end of the
ride Tornado didn’t understand that he wasn’t going to keep the car. He
thought it was his!!! Then it was on to the little boats that went in a
circle….By this point Tornado understood it was not his boat and he
had a blast. Tornado sat in the front steering and Lady bug sat in the
back seat steering.. then we had an hour meeting with a friend we met
there (the whole reason for going)

4. Then it was back for more
kiddie rides. The turtles and the airplanes….The turtle ride looked
so cute but the kids only made it around the track twice (they were the
only two on it at the time) They hated every minute of it. It was a
circular track with only two small bumps but nonetheless they hated it
and the girl stopped the ride so they could get off! Then there were
the airplanes….not well liked either mostly because they went up a
few feet…Like to my head. Anyway they liked it just fine when they
were closer to the ground but they didn’t stop the ride. However we
were kinda worried because both kids wouldn’t look out at us but kept
focusing on the center of the ride! If they would have thrown up they
would have never wanted to ride rides again. Then it was off for a
snack and one more ride on the T-Birds for both kiddos and then a boat
ride for Tornado.

5. Mommy got to ride one ride. Kind of like
the the Cosmotron at the local amusement park near where I grew up
except for it is not inside a building and there is one huge bump in
the back! Oh yeah and the play mostly OLDIES! With a little of the new
stuff mixed in!

6. Then it was off to Friendly’s for Ice cream
with our friends from UTAH. Where Tornado slept on the bench and didn’t
have any ice cream and Lady Bug spilled a glass of Ice water…on
Mommy’s Lap!

Well we had a lot of fun…sorry we forgot the camera card. Maybe next time!

My Walk Monday

Philippians 2:14-15

14 Do all tings without complaining and disputing,
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world.


One of my biggest pet peeves is complainers. but last night as I sat reading this i was having a complaining spirit of my own. For what i will not say. But I will try to have a much better focus today! And for the rest of the week. I will “suck it up and deal with it” if you will.

I try not to complain and/or feel sorry for myself. It’s not something I find attractive in other people and though I don’t think I was sinning in my thought life last night i could see that i was treading on dangerous ground. I don’t think that most people realize how awful they sound when they get self-absorbed . Last night I was focused on me. My hurt feelings my struggles and when we start saying “I” so much we loose sight of other people. So where I was hurt because other people were dwelling in the “I” zone “I” started to feel left out!!!!

When we get caught in the “I’ zone we get tunnel vision and don’t care who outside of our veiw finder we run over and trample!

I don’t want that!!

Simple Woman’s Day book #6

FOR TODAY (August 18,2008)…
Outside My Window… Gray morning. It’s supposed to be warm..I hope so!

I am thinking… a lot about friendships and after last weekends fiasco I found myself thinking and wishing for a
Jonathan/David in my life.

I am thankful for…a God who understands me personally and loves me just the way that i m…Though He Himself
inspires growth and strength!

From the kitchen…Egg bake, tacos, and leftovers!
I am wearing…My brother’s issued Gray Army long sleeved, mock Turtle neck shirt, two tone blue shorts, Athletic socks and
my hair is down!

I am creating…A sanctuary in my home…..though it’s been hard to focus on that as of late!

I am going…For once I am actually going somewhere..We are going to a local Amusement park to meet with some friends from out
in Salt lake City Utah. I have seen them in 6 years but hubby
saw them at Kevin’s memorial service last month!

I am reading…The Bible…Isaiah, Proverbs and Philippians

I am hoping...to break through this mental block I have had all last week. I need to shake this desperately!

I am hearing…The oh so annoying hum of our computer fan and the typing on my keyboard!

Around the house…Lots of straightening!!! Vacuuming and some (not a lot) of laundry….not to mention packing for this weekends
trip to Long Island

One of my favorite things…Cheesecake…I Love Cheesecake!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:I think i already mentioned them in around the house but I would really like to get
the kids toy’s sorted for our sometime yard sale!

Here is picture thought I am sharing..
