My Version... 6 on Saturday

I missed Ten on Tuesday. Again. I had it all ready to post, and then Tuesday came and went. It was a great little series of questions... most of them about faith. But did I get it finished? Nope. Just one more thing that "didn't get done" this week.

So today, I made my own fun little list. I call it "6 on Saturday." (Cause that's all I could come up with.)


1. The snow/ice is gone. I can still see a tiny bit here and there on the rooftops. Now we are building an ark just to get to the boy's basketball game today.

2. My house is a wreck. I even took pictures with my phone and sent them to my friend who said she didn't believe my house was messy. I obviously have enough time to talk about the mess and take pictures of the mess... but not enough time to clean it up.

3. School being out on Monday and delayed on Tuesday caused my whole week to be wacky. At least that's what I'm blaming everything on.

4. If you are an overweight geriatric cat, and if you happen to live in my house, you will find things in the floor to use as a pillow. Someone appreciates the mess.



5. We are counting down the days until a soldier we know comes home for R&R.

6. The boy got his braces this week. The whole process flashed me back to 1985. Wax and wires and Oragel and headaches and bloody lips. Good times.

I let him miss the rest of the school day, and we went out to lunch. Then we got ice cream. The one thing he could eat with no trouble. If you can't tell in the photo, he chose crimson and black bracket colors. For his beloved Alabama. If you're gonna be in pain and unable to eat, at least keep on showing the love for your team.
