WILW and a Some For Real!

I know I usually start blogs off with an, “I am sorry for the lack of posts.” Well, today I am not. I spent three hours working on a blog post the other day. It had deep, heartfelt meaning, and then WAM.  I did not save it properly. This is of course no one’s fault, but my own. I suppose on day I will sit and have to retype the thing. Not today.

I hope everyone loves their Wednesday after election. I am sorry I did not get to fill your news feed up with my “Georgia Voter stickers.” I am one of the freaks that didn’t switch the registration over in time. I had to complete an absentee ballot for JC. Sorry JC. You can’t get rid of me that easily. I decided to take a quick minute to say a few things that I am loving this Wednesday, and then catch you up on my life.

I am loving…

…The package from Dress Up that I received today. I am ready for an AMMMMAZING weekend. I will be leaving my 100 year old khakis and sweater sets at home, breaking out the little dress, and hip sweaters.

…The fact that there are only 7 days of school left until a week break for Thanksgiving. I love you children, but you are wearing me out.

…That I only get migraines like the one I had yesterday once every 5 years. I mean I had to leave work thirty minutes early, come home, and not get up for 5 hours. It was kicking my tail.

…That I have amazing friends that bring me soup just because she knew I wanted to try it.

…The simple fact that I have amazing friends in our new home.

…That I am buying Christmas gifts early!

… That I have NO idea what to get Coach for Christmas. Is it OK that I want to get him a nice trip somewhere we have never been just so I can enjoy it too??

…That  I have been playing Christmas music at school all week.

I know there are MANY other things that I am loving right now, but for the sake of this blog. I’ll stop. I actually come to you with great purpose. Lately I have been seriously thinking about my blog and the art of the entire deal. I have decided that although I am FAR from a constantly serious person, I want my blog to have some informative and serious works in it. My next New Year’s Resolution will to blog with meaning, heart, and passion. Sometimes the silly “just because” blogs are great, and they help my just say…. Whatever. However, soon I want to change the tone. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow. Soon.

I will go ahead and put it on the table that I have a slight hint of baby fever. Trust me, there will not be a baby anytime soon. Well, unless God trusts us more that we trust us. But, Brandon and I have been seriously (well, I’m seriously discussing the topics for once, he is the not really acting serious one) discussing the topics about how we want to raise our child. Baby and parenting blogs seem to be my current faves. No worries, I am still reading all the others… Today I read this article, and I LOVE it. Teaching Your Children About Marriage. I also love all the feedback from it. It really has great points, and I love reading the different views. She talks about showing your children a healthy marriage. This is why I suppose we are not ready to have children. Yes, absolutely we have a healthy marriage! But, have we accomplished all that we want to accomplish before we have children? Have we set our marriage up 100% and made the foundation absolutely concrete? For right now, we just love being in love and being young. Dub is one lucky little dog to be receiving so much attention right now! No <human> Cain children anytime soon. We actually joke around and say we have a “BC Bucket List.” Before Children Bucket List. Maybe one day I will add that to the blog.

I hope everyone has a jam up Wednesday. I suppose I should go cook something… or eat cookies. No, not eat cookies. Seriously, who bought theses?!

Love love,

Monday's May or May Not Special

This past weekend was spent winning football games, cross country meets, dinner with friends, 3 hour naps (both days), and lots of just loving the cooler weather that has arrived. 

Friday night we won our Homecoming game. Go Trojans! Saturday morning we had MS XC meets for boys and girls. Go Trojans! Saturday afternoon I took a 3 hour nap while Coach watched film. He tried to make me feel guilty about the absence of HIS nap due to our slow computer. I must admit, I had ZERO guilt. Saturday evening was filled with an AHHHHmazing dinner at our dear sweet HC’s house. All while watching my beloved Dawgs forget that they were playing a team that was 1-6. However, we pulled out a win. So, I am all smiles here. (Actually, I am all smiles because we watched the game in a public setting, and Coach’s blood pressure was forced to stay at a non-heart attack level.) Sunday was filled with cooler temps in the morning, divine coffee, and a puffer vest with boots at church. I also had another 3 hour nap. Coach ALSO tried to make me feel guilty yet again for the nap since he had a football meeting. Again, I must admit, my lack of guilt has me worried. Sunday evening was consumed with cheese pizza and a broken heart from the Jets. I did not wear my Sanchez jersey to school today. 

That was our weekend. Pretty speedy I know. However, this post was not necessarily meant to be a weekend recap. Saturday night, while enjoying time with our friends, my husband, being the loving, caring man that he is, informed me that I have a problem with saying, “May or may not.” After hours upon hours of recollection, I have come to the conclusion that my loving, caring, kind, smart, intelligent husband must call me out on the FEW things that I do to the extreme because… well… I am just so outstanding, he feels that he needs to find SOMETHING to give me a hard time about. About six months ago he said that I use too many emoticons when typing and texting. I have seen someone about my problem and I am working on that little struggle to become a better wife. Since obviously this over usage of emoticons keeps me from fulfilling my wifely duties. Obviously. So, now it has been brought to my attention that I may or may not use may or may not in conversation too much. Three times in 30 minutes I believe is what he calculated when bringing it to my attention. This my friends brings today’s topic of blogging…. 

Things I May or May Not Be Doing… 

I may or may not have a problem with Blogger changing my words. Chaperone has an e at the end, but when I enter it into blogger, it took it off. When I added it back, it said it was misspelled. Ahhhhhhhhh… See, it has it highlighted now!?!? E or no e? Help a girl out spell check!

I may or may not spend too much time doing everything else, and often simply proof read too quickly. Please dear friends do not hold it against me. I swear I am an educated individual. I simply do not spend the quality time I suppose I should when ‘blogging’. 

I may or may not be married to the Grammar King.  

I may or may not be lost now that I get home at 3:30. No practice has me all confused in the time aspect of the world. 

I may or may not throw my summer flowers away. They still look great… although I love mums, do I really want to spend the money?

I may or may not already have three Christmas gifts ready to be purchased from Etsy. 

I may or may not be getting everyone’s gifts form Etsy this year. 

I may or may not have wanted to use may or may not in the little blurb above when recapping my weekend. 

I may or may not have SLIGHT baby fever. Monogram bottles are to blame, along with Pinterest in general. 

I may or may not beg to fill this fever with another dog. 

I may or may not leave my phone off starting at 8am so I cannot be bothered with emails and other annoying green flashes my phone makes. I can honestly say from 8-3, it’s just me and pre-k. 

I may or may not be putting off buying a new phone because I now work for my money and it is just SOOOO hard to part with. However, my back account may or may not represent that feeling well. Is it October 31^st yet? 

I may or may be planning on making a pumpkin pie from scratch this weekend. 

I may or may not be picking pumpkin pie as my choice because I know I am the only one in the house that likes pumpkin pies…. May or may not be a bit selfish. 

I may or may not have a serious love for Gatorade. But lack of love for the Gators...?? It’s a situation. 

I may or may not be taking this to the extreme.

(Not matter what… I love you Mr. Cain. I will try to seek help for my problems…I also am only posting this because it will be a laugh for Coach. He needs to laugh more during this time of year...)

Happy Monday y'all! 

Love love,

Tuesday Tidbits and the "Scatteredness" of My Brain

Oh Happy Tuesday wonderful readers of the world! It is Homecoming Week here in the south. I love the school spirit, festivities, and fall weather that comes along with this week. Coach on the other hand would probably like for me to take a moment and remind everyone the reason behind Homecoming. The game. Let’s not be distracted now….

However, to my sweet babies… Homecoming is a week of playing dress up. Monday was “Hat Day.” I decided that I am going to try my best to wear a hat each day this week. I may make a hat policy in the classroom. I love hats. Legit.

Today was “Camo Day.” I was not at school today.  I was actually a tag-along chaperon for the high school’s FFA trip to the Expo. They asked Coach to go and ride the bus that may need to leave early. I volunteered myself to be the female chaperon on that bus. I may have not slept last night because I was so excited. I love the FFA. It has such a special place in my heart. So, Coach and I rode the bus with 30 kids. 2 hours there, 3.5 hours of walking around, 2 hours back, XC practice, and now I am in the recliner avoiding cooking dinner like it’s the plague, and I am contemplating digging my sweats out of the box in my closet. I was convinced that I would never need them in the south. Wrong. I want them on now. It is a wonderfully crisp evening here in TC. 

i think we need a baby dairy cow...

or a mama dairy cow...

please stop.

More randomness: I really, really, really have a strong desire to own these boots.

 Like to the extreme. I have a serious problem. The problem isn’t that I want them so badly. The problem is that I look at them and the price tag, and think that I would be too afraid to wear them outside of my house. I would probably scuff them up on the playground or get them dirty walking on the football field. (And let’s be honest, those are my two most frequent locations that I visit. Playground + football field.)  I really want them, BUT….. my lifestyle is not very TB approved. I feel as if TB would want me to flaunt these beauties in NYC… Aren’t they beautiful? I have issues. I am aware. Proof of my issues:  probably that I look at them daily when I’m on the computer. I just feel like my Pinterest closet would be that much more realistic….#sigh

I meant to post about this last week. Time flies when you are meaning to post. Well, our FCA had their annual “Fields of Faith” meeting. People were invited to come worship on the field one evening. It was a great turn out! I loved it and the time we spent with the youth and folks in the community.  My super stud husband was one of the speakers. I even took Dub so it would be a family event. Coach talked about his hate for losing, and then turned it into living your life to win. I love him. Seriously.

"I seriously despise losing. Ask my wife."

just listing to his pa.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday. Can you believe is will be Wednesday tomorrow? Homecoming week is flying by! 

this is seriously what he is doing right now... love him. 

 Love love,
