I was talking to Sam at dinner and Garrett HAD to tell me something so he kept yelling to me. I finally said you have to say "excuse me." Soooo a few minutes later I'm talking to someone else again and he starts yelling to me "EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME." It's a start, I guess.
After dinner, I told Dewayne maybe we should call the puppy "Lucky." He said, "I could go for Lucky." Garrett said, "I want to go to the lake with you."
2010 01 17 Helping Haiti
The scenes from the earthquake in Haiti are devastating. Our denomination lost its overseer and many more. Our church is running a program called Operation KidPassion in cooperation with Operation Compassion, a nonprofit relief organization. Using some of the free stuff I've gotten from couponing and requesting samples, as well as some additional purchased items, I filled one ziploc bag for each of my kids with essentials. These bags and many others will be shipped to the people of Haiti. $1 was included in each bag to help with the shipping costs. It's not much, but it's our little part.

We are down to 5 dogs. Dewayne was able to find homes for 2 of puppies with customers at Tractor Supply. Before he left to take them, we decided we would keep one of them to replace Precious. As soon as we decide on a name, I'll post a picture. I did take this picture of the princesses on the back of the couch while Dewayne and the big boys were out.
I couldn't resist this picture of Garrett. He put it on all by himself.2010 01 15 Friday Friends
Well, we are down to 7 dogs. Our next door neighbor picked up one of the puppies a couple of days ago. Unfortunately the other one we lost was Precious. We have had her since right after we moved in the house, which is nearly 8 years now. We had to make the difficult decision to put her down.
We had the Stricklands over for the evening. Summer made open faced turkey sandwiches which were very yummy. We talked for a while and played cards. Dewayne said he couldn't remember the last time he had laughed that hard. We had a great time.

Well, I have finally decided to be on the Encounter team. We had our first meeting tonight, so I left it up to Dewayne and the boys to clean the house in preparation for our Friday Friends. They did a great job. It relieved a great deal of pressure from me. It was a pretty rough day, though. We received an update on my dad's weight loss. It's now 41 pounds in 4 months. He's down to 150 lbs and they don't know why. He eats everything they give him and drinks his nutrition shakes. They are going to increase his food and shakes and see if it helps. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.

I began a new Beth Moore study at church entitled "Believing God." I'm grateful that Nelda George is the main facilitator this time. It looks like it's going to be a fantastic series. After church I watched the Atlanta auditions of American Idol. This was one of my favorite auditions: Pants on the Ground. I also enjoyed the sweet girl from Vonore, TN which is very close to us and the girl from Rockmart, GA which is near my hometown.
