My Precious Daughter

At least that's the e-mail title that her teacher sent to explain why she received a red for the day.

Apparently, she wasn't "listening and following directions". Again.  So she was moved to yellow.  Because of that she had to "walk" during free time instead of playing.  Well.. she was supposed to walk.  Apparently.. the teacher found her playing on the playground.  When asked about it she explained that she never did "walk" and therefore she had to sit in time out.  No worries... Instant punishment at the house for being disobedient.  Right?!?!

So.. when I picked her up from school.. She was honest and told me what color she had for the day.  When I asked why she got a red.....Her version was slightly different.  She did have a yellow but, when they made it to the playground... She and her friends found an ant that lost it's colony and they had to built it another home.

In her mind.. she was helping something.. therefor she wasn't in the wrong. What do you do with that thought process??!?!?

She did get a firm talking to about being disrespectful and not obeying her teacher.  

How do you???

...get mad at THIS??

Bugisms and Funnies...

We had a great dinner last night with some friends celebrating a birthday.  Here are some of the conversations.  Humor brought to you courtesy of the House of Rho.

Buggy:  I don't like this.

Me:  You ordered it.  You eat it.

Buggy:  I don't like this.  It's not good!

Grandaddy:  (Whisper, Whisper, Whisper) 

Buggy quickly picks up the eating utensil and shoves food she doesn't like and isn't good into her mouth.

Rho gives Grandaddy a puzzled look.

Grandaddy:  I just told Buggy that I'd take her on another boat ride if she finished her dinner.

Me:  Buggy?  Is it good now?

Buggy: .. for a boat ride it is!!!

Background - This girl is citified.  I've never thought about hunting nor do I claim to have any knowledge of the sport.

PK:  You really need 4-5 trucks for dog hunting.  It's cruel but, fun.

Me:  What do you do?  Run over them???

(That's sooo not the case after the table had a good giggle)

Last but not least.....

After sharing a very good friend's 37th birthday.... I couldn't figure out why my math wasn't working out.  I KNOW that she and I are close in age but, for whatever reason what I THOUGHT my age was and versus what I KNEW her age is were not in the mathematical scheme of being remotely close.  So my friends... I'm sad to say, last night as I was driving and doing the math of subtracting my birth year from 2009..... 

I gained 1.5 YEARS in age!!!  -----MY birthday isn't until SEPTEMBER!!!  

I seriously considered calling the Hair Goddess for an emergency appointment!

**Random Thought**

I and some friends are working simultaneously and individually (Think it out) on the Beth Moore study of Esther.  Bloggy Buddies... I can not tell you how good this is!!!  

When you have the time.... Search it out and DO IT!  

Bugisms

Buggy: Why did the Turkey cross the road?
Me: Why?
Buggy: To prove he was a chicken!!!

Bugisms

My Daughter as many of you know is referred to as "Bug" or "Buggy". Because of the fact she is constantly adding humor to our lives, I've decided to give her..her very own label for my posts. I'll update prior posts of her antics at a later date.. but, for today, I hope you'll enjoy two more.

Yesterday we were riding to have dinner with My father-in-law's brother and sister. We were honored to have them visit our church as well as we were going to celebrate our Christmas with them. We were having THE talk about manners and proper responses regarding presents.

Me: We're going to lunch with Aunt C and Uncle D.
Buggy: OH! and WE get to see them Christmas Eve!!
Me: Not this year, they will be out of town.
Monster: Wh.What?!!? When will we get our presents??
Buggy: *Sigh* (Rolling eyes at big brother) Christmas isn't about presents. It's about Love. Love is when Jesus is born. Christmas is Jesus's Birthday and on Easter he will die on the cross for us.

Ummm.. so at this point, I'm having a near tear moment and frantically searching for my not pad to document so that I can blog appropriately. My heart and smile are so big right now I can barely hang on to my composure!! She's getting it!

Me: Buggy, How do you know this?!?!
Buggy: I just do.
Me: Tell me again. (I have a pen and paper now)
...and so she does. word. for. word.

Monster: OH!!! I KNOW where YOU got this from!!! It's the musical!!!
Buggy: I know..... (giggle)

Hubby: Not so inspiring now?!?!
Me: Oh. yeah. She totally got me!

...On the way home last night... Out. Of. The. Blue. (go figure)

Buggy: Daddy, I don't want you to get Monster and I confused with each other!
Hubby: Huh?
Buggy: Well, sometimes I call you Dad.
Hubby: (look of confusion?)
Me: (giggle)
Buggy: *Sigh* Monster calls you Dad. and I call you Daddy... I don't want you to get confused between Monster and I when I call you Dad.
Me: (Struggling..giggle...giggle)
Hubby: Okay princess... but, you do know that you sound different from each other... Right?
