Friday :- )

It's my favorite part of the week again, the end!! This week has flown by though! Bowling yesterday was not as exciting as the week before, we lost all games pretty bad, oh well, there's always next week....just got in from friday night dinner with my cousins (lisa & jr, lori & charlie) rocky had to work again tonight so i was solo, it was fun anyways when we all get together there's never usually a shortage of laughter. i suppose i am truly blessed to be so close to both sides of my family. (today i say blessed, ask me again next week....) just kidding! tomorrow may be a busy day, kickboxing and work in the morning, and then lori and i have plans to go shopping! i feel my tax returns slipping away.....i havent told rocky yet that we are going, im sure he'll be thrilled as lori and i never seem to make small shopping trips together, however she is rather pregnant right now so if i just stick with her we'll probably spend most of the time in the maternity section! rocky works 3-9 tomorrow so i have to entertain myself somehow and we all know i have a rather large shopping fetish. well, im off to bed, like an old married person i am headed to bed at 9 on a friday night...its sad really.

Cross Pollination

Just in case you all need more to do than keep up with this blog, I thought you would like to know that Ashlie and Benj have started a blog for their own new branch of the Midget Family. Check here for even more photos of our beautiful baby Tyler. . http://midgetfamily.blogspot.com/

Sara, I noticed you have a message about Blue Devils stuck in Drafts. Would you like me to publish it for you? It is mysterious, but I seem to be able to do it because I am the administrator. I am not sure how it works otherwise!

Spring weather here! Joy of joys!

Ack, Snowing again

Is this winter over yet? It's snowing again. Expecting about 2 more inches today. This is getting really old. I too think it would be fun to do a sister-daughter thing. But, I have no suggestions as to where or when. Sorry, my creative mind has shut off for the day. Nothing exciting going on here. Fighting a sinus infection, and yes Mom you were right. We have a new benefit here at work called Tela-Doc. Supposedly, you can call to let them know you need to talk to someone. Then a doctor calls you back. You tell them your symptoms then they tell you if you need to be seen or prescribe you something if you need antibotics. I'm waiting on the call back. It's supposed to be cheaper then going to the doctor. We'll see as of right now they aren't calling me back and I scheduled this morning... Got to get back to working on Wal-Mart invoicing. This is so much fun!!! Not!

Love you all

ps - congrats Jon and Emilee on your new house. Coming from someone who just took the plunge, the paperwork can be scary, but it's awesome having your own place.

Nothin' Much

Hey everybody! Just got back from breakfast with Sara-she had made a date with us for her favorite-Waffle House. I have the evening shift today so this morning is computer time.
As far as Easter goes, I have a three day weekend so everyone is invited to Jonesboro! We thought about going to Quincy but that would leave Sara and Chris alone here so we decided to stay home. We have lots of room at the house tho if anyone wants to come South! I can't really say it is any warmer now-but by then it should be great! Sara just says "Ha! Good luck" but you all are welcome anytime!
David and I had a good laugh over Jess's pics of the shower-it made me think of the time Chrissy and I decided to see what was under the living room carpet on 12th Street and ended up ripping it all out when we found hardwood floors and then we ripped out the doorway to find pocket doors behind! It must run in the family as Mom said-I do remember Grandma's chair! Never tell a Misselhorn woman that she can't do something!! Then again I know Carolyn is quite handy at those things too-so maybe it is just the women overall in our family! Better watch out Jon-Emilee may have some projects of her own in mind!
I think a sister-daughter weekend would be great Chris! I am off every other weekend and if I know the month before I can usually arrange a three day weekend. I think Chris or Nancy would be willing to help out at home. Did you ever find out anything about the walk?
Hope everyone is having a great week! I miss ya all and love the updates!

It's not as warm as it looks! Sun is shining brilliantly today but the wind is really cold. And very rough on flimsy hairdo's. Been a busy morning as most Wednesday's are especially during the Lenten season. Next week even busier. Bible class, home, Ladies Aid (have to have some kind of refreshment this month along with another member), home, then back to church for Lent services.
But busy is what keeps us going, right? And I can tell from the messages that all of you are very busy!

Chris, we will be home Easter barring the unforeseen and will be so happy to see you all.

David called and said he would be here Memorial Day weekend. So if anyone else is coming, we need to make room arrangements somewhere.

I agree, Jess. It is frustrating when you have to search for tools to follow you instincts. I can remember my Mom wanting my Pop to build an Adirondack-style lawn chair but he said he didn't have the right kind of lumber. She just looked at him, went into the garage, locked the door from the inside and soon we heard sawing and hammering going on inside the garage. In a couple of hours, Mom came out - carrying her chair. She set it down by my Pop and a neighbor and announced it was HERS to sit in. All I can remember is that chair had better not have someone in it when she went to sit in it! And my Mom was not one to lose her temper but all got out of it when she came out the door! I'm sure some of you remember Grandma's lawn chair. It was still in use long after my parents left this earthly life for a life in heaven.

Congratulations, Jon and Emilee! It's wonderful that you have your own home - now let the work begin. Just kidding. Kids are growing up, all of them. And what a beautiful family you have.

Have patience, Ben. You, Ashlee and Tyler will have your own home before you know it. We are so anxious to see all of you.

We need to get out of Quincy soon or go ga-ga. I really do need to go see my sisters - it has been a while. Dan called a couple of weeks ago and said Si was doing well. Dorcas and her girls go to see her often. I'll have to call Verna today or tomorrow (can't remember if she goes to get her hair done on Thursdays or Fridays) so maybe I should call her today.

Your Dad taking a nap - I'll let him sleep until 3. Then he'll wake up when I turn the TV on. I like to watch "Reba" and after that the one and only soap I watch will be on ("Days of Our Lives".) Then the local news, grab a repast (around here, that means leftovers from a previous meal.) Hey, I remembered that now-a-days the period goes on the inside of the parenthesis - used to be on the outside (which looks so much better).

I just don't have the funny things going on as the rest of you have - "life gets tejous, don't it?"

Take care . Love you all. Mom

Congrats

Emily, I can't even imagine 3 kids, work, school and now moving. You are truly a brave woman! All 4 are events to be extremely proud of! We like pictures!!
Hopefully you will not have to remodel?? like Jessica. Haha I am anxious to see this project in person.
Nikki and Bryan your mom says the house is awesome too. I will keep you in my prayers that all will work out for you.
Leslie and Laurie if I were just a little closer I would go with you to the movies. Sounds like a fun time for just the girls.
I am still thinking we should plan a sister-daughter weekend sometime in our busy schedules.
What is everyone doing for Easter? It is right around the corner. Mom and Dad, are you up for company that weekend? I was thinking of asking Eric and Julie to join us up there.
Happy Wednesday!

You go girl!

Congrats to you Emilee- new baby, masters degree & a house. That is AWESOME!! We will be anxious to see pics. You are an incredible woman!
Laurie- call me about the movie. Can't Fri night but will Saturday night or Sun work? SC women should be in the regional championship game Sat at 4pm if you want to go. Woo-hoo! They are ranked 11th in the nation and awesome. It's red day.
Will be in KC tomorrow actually attending one of the parties I planned. Mmmm... I choose great menus :). See me for all your event planning needs. OK, just joking. Love you all!
