Too Scary for Words

Assorted ramblings from a Christian wife, mother and public school teacher.
I am a Christian, I am a wife and mother and am a public middle school teacher of math and gifted education. My Blog, "What's My Deal?" is just day to day ramblings. My other Blog, "All About the Fish" is more like a personal webpage about my Christian experiences.
Okay, Here's My Deal...
Today I had a date--with my oldest son, who will be 4 in May. All four of us loaded into the van and went to the mall. My husband and the youngest went their way and my oldest and I went to see a movie. We went to see Veggietales: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Between the two of us, we ate an entire large popcorn, drank a large lemonadeand ate a box of gummy Jolly Ranchers.
It was a fun time. I did not go to a lot of movies growing up until I went to college, but the few I went to hold fond memories for me.
Anyway, there you have it. Cinematic memories. Good times.
Okay, Here's My Deal...
Last night we entered a new era with our boys. The oldest, 3 1/2, was pushing around one of his trucks and going around the house--there is a big circle he can run that starts in the living room through the kitchen into one bedroom through the bathroom out a second bedroom back into the living room--anyway, he can get going pretty fast.
After about two laps, his little brother, 8 months, decided he wanted in on the action, so he began to crawl as fastas he could to try and keep up. Of course, his brother lapped him about 3 times before he completed one circuit, but he was having a hey day while he did it. They went on like that for quite a while. It was fun for both of them...but the poor little guy has callouses on his knees even though he was wearing pants.
This is just the beginning of things to come. It will be nuts around this house in about 6-8 months when the youngest has fully mastered walking!!
Okay, Here's My Deal...
Ladies, you will understand this. I wanted to find a purse today. Next to shopping for clothes (I am a chunky lady) this can be the most frustrating thing for me to select and buy.
Well, I looked and looked and looked then looked some more at Wal-Mart and finally found one that I thought would work and was within the price range I am willing to pay (I am also frugal...well, honestly, cheap!)
Then, we went to Target for something my husband needed and just for gits and shiggles, I thought I would look at their purses. Lo and behold, there was one that I really liked and was just $2 more than what I had paid for the one I felt like I had settled on. I went ahead and bought it and will just take the other one back tomorrow after church when we make our Sunday Wal-Mart run.
Anyway, I thought this was blog worthy because this purse is HUGE. Like twice the size of what I normally carry. When my husband saw it he said, "Good God!" and then when we checked out, he said, "Don't forget to put your suitcase up here." And, it is also a little bit girly-girl for me.
So, tonight, it is the switching of the purses...a deal in and of itself, right ladies? Can I get an Amen?
