I try to read it. :) Actually, we've bought furniture at Big Lots - you can find some pretty nice stuff at low prices.

I'm still here. :)

I read, just don't comment a lot.

please keep me on your list

Wow! Your month does sound busy!

Our Big Lot's has some really great furniture. A friend of mine bought a couch there a few years back and it's still in good condition.

I'm usually checking on you... just not commenting much.

I'm anxious to see the pictures. It has been soo many years since I have been on a hayride.

Hello..I just got on your list..you better not delete me. LOL :)

I read it! :)

Hey, hope you had a great 4th. Don't delete me..please

I have seen some pretty nice peices at BLs. Like the hat.

I think I did good... let's see what the monster says (my professor!) :)

No, I rode them last time, though. I stayed on the dune buggies!

Hope you had a great 4th, we did. :) Don't delete me either, you know I read and occasionally write...Good deal with the couch, I hope it lasts too.

I don't always comment, but I do read. :)

I've had to catch up for a few days, glad the house is coming along so well1 Pictures look lovely! I know it is exciting to see everything coming along. My parents bought their den furniture at Big Lots a couple of years ago. It isn't the typical place to buy furniture, but it is nice and looks great. It is comfortable too.

I read your blog but usually try to comment. Leave me on.

We enjoyed being with your brother and his family this week/weekend. You are brave buying a couch before your house is done. I understand a good deal though.

I love going to Big Lots every once in a while. You never know what you might find, and I usually find something that I've been looking for that you can't find anywhere else. My mom just bought a very nice big Broyhill chest of drawers for my oldest there as well. I like the cowgirl look, by the way.

I so know the feeling!! Waiting, waiting, waiting, so in the meantime get something new!! ;)

sound busy! love the hat up there! funny about the sectional. those things are huge, but so comfy! ;) i will keep your mom in my prayers!

I bought my mahogany chairs at big lots and they are still in great condition :)

Yep, I got lots of laundry done - 3 loads I think! Now I need to put it all away.

Yay for new furniture! We're waiting til our kids are a little older to buy furniture, too. No point in getting something now that's just going to get peed or thrown-up on!

Yay!!! How exciting!!

Yay!!

wonderful news! "happy dance!!"

woohoo! Congrats! :)

Glad shes better!

Good news

YAY!!!

Congratulations!

That's so awesome! Good news indeed!

That sounds VERY exciting! I'm so happy for you guys. It's going to be so much fun building a house from the ground up. :)

YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Be sure and take pictures every step of the way. It will be fun to look at years later. We took a picture before we cleared the land, when the footers were being poured, walls up ,etc..... It is really a neat keepsake!

Great news!

well, duh...it was delicious! that is why I felt I had to share it with the world. :-)

thanks

sounds like things are going great.

i didn't know that G movies could have cuss words in them! Congrats on being able to build that is really cool

That's great news!! That much closer to your own home, again!!

That would be wonderful. She'll love it.

or you can always write a quick email and send a card later. makeconniehappy@yahoo.com It's up to you.

How scary. We were with some friends at the mall and lost one of their kids for almost an hour and it was in the main area of the mall. There were several stores adn exits and there were so many things going through our minds. When he ws finally found on the other side of the mall we were so relieved. The sad thing was I was shocked over the fact that no one would help us. It was right around closing time and people at the stores just wanted to leave. We were all screaming his name and calling for him and others just walked by and didn't stop to help. Not one person helped us. It was really frustrating. Glad this situation worked out.

Oh I know... I've had that happen twice at our local Walmart. I can't help but stop shopping and start watching for a lone kid or a kid with an adult that doesn't "seem right". So scary!

I work at Walmart, and it really is a pretty big deal when that happens. Manaagers go to every door and watch for the child. Employees all over the store are looking for him/her. Everything stops to find that child.

I hadn't heard that before. But that is scary!!

YIKES!!

I never heard of Code Adam.

^ Me either.

thinks for alerting me to Frederic's blog. I was debating going down there, but just can't swing it. It brings back a lot of memories. :o)

I'm with the others, I've never heard of that term. Maybe it's only a local term? I'm glad that they found the child. I get scared when my little ones take off without me and I have to run after them.

I have been there before when it was called. There is always such a sense of relief when it is cancelled. It would be so horrific to lose a child.

You got it!! :) How is your hunting going? :)

About 15 years ago I was in Walmart here when they called a Code Adam. Of course everyone begins to look at everyone as suspicious. Then all of the sudden I see my brother looking panicked. It was his 2 year old son - my nephew. While everyone was looking for abductors, I started looking around clothes racks and calling his name. Lo and behold, he poked his little head from the rack of clothes. What a relief!

hey. I'm really sorry I just added you as a friend. I have been a little behind lately. I worked at Wal-Mart for a long time and announcing those Code ADAM's on the PA was really hard. I could never describe the child correctly because the parents were hysterical.

Yep, I know the feeling!! Hopefully soon for both of us! :)

Thank you for telling me about Jack! He was such an encouragement to me. There are many days that I think about the fun we had with those temp agency jobs. My eyes were sure opened many times. I know I was blessed by knowing him.

I'm feeling good- thanks for asking! Things are so crazy right now- I need to update on my blog!

I am glad he got to meet them. I debated long and hard, but God kind of made my decision for me (in reference to travelling to TN). The snow just whipped me... Did y'all get any of it (rain), or was it just a news moment?\

that is unnerving. Mine always stayed close because I would shamelessly scream their name by the 3rd call.

Oh that is so scary!! Definitely makes you pull your kids closer to your side in the store. I am still paranoid in public and my oldest son is 10.

I actually found one last night as the girls were getting into bed. It was in the basket where we keep her diapers. I was really surprised she hadn't found it when she goes to get us a diaper. We had one more in the diaper bag, but can't find that one either. So hopefully I'll find that first too.
