This morning I JAY-WALKED in front of a POLICE CAR as I was running into the CHURCH because I was late for my BIBLE STUDY.
I have been feeling so frazzled lately. But in a good way. Not a put-my-shirt-on-backwards-and-wore-it-like-that-all-day-way... Ok... so maybe that is exactly the way it has been. AND it was a shirt with a pattern on the front that CLEARLY should have been on my front. Why didn't someone tell me?
Its a good thing it is nearly impossible to embarrass me. Let me illustrate... the other day at CHURCH, I was trying to tell someone how ironic it was that I have been trying so hard to keep from getting sick, but then I volunteered to give flu shots to the City's police department, just giving myself an extra opportunity for exposure to LOTS of people with LOTS of germs. But... what I said to her was "I exposed myself to the whole police department!" I know I should be embarrassed... but like I said, its nearly impossible.
You would really think that this next one would do it... That same day at CHURCH, I had taken Curley Q into the nursing mother's room to do what mother's do in that particular room... you know, to be discreet... and when I came out, I was sitting down talking to a good MALE friend of ours and all throughout our conversation my daughter was apparently EXPOSING me by pulling down the neck of my shirt... and not just a little bit, but I was engrossed in conversation and didn't even realize. This MALE friend finally told me what was happening and that he thought I would eventually notice so he didn't say anything right away! Any normal person would have been completely embarrassed! Not this mama.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. I keep blaming all my disorganization and silly behavior on having a baby. Well... last year I blamed it on being pregnant, then on having a newborn. I guess the reality is that I'm just a little disorganized and silly.
Excuse me, but what happened to November? I'll tell you what happened... Leah and I went to have her 9 month check up (which I blogumented in a timely manner)... Then there is a big blur... I got a cold, after exposing myself to the police... there's another blur... we packed up everything in our house so we could get new carpet (I decided that when your whole house is packed up you should just go ahead and move)... more blur... We gave alot of thanks... ate alot of turkey and pie... Leah got a cold... And now its the 31st.
So when I looked down at my watch today and saw that it was November 31st.... I decided that was just fine. Usually by December 1st I have my Christmas tree up. (And if it were socially acceptable to have Christmas decorations out from October to March, I would.) But, all this blurriness and disorganization has taken November away from me... so I'm just gonna take the extra day. I'll just make up for December 1st by stealing a day from January, and then make up for January in February. February is already pitifully short... it won't care.
For the 3 people who are actually interested in this, I steam or bake everything first except for the berries. I just threw them in with my applesauce and pear-sauce and tasted stuff til I liked it. I have yet to give her anything I haven't tried. I know its weird, but I'm kind of proud of myself for trying "new things." 
Here we go!.jpg)
You know you are a big girl now when you get to sit up on the scale rather than lay down!
I did unwrap it for her and let her have a little taste... :)
This year!
