Ok, so I was telling a friend this story the other day, and she got such a kick out of it that I thought it made for good blogging material, so maybe you’ll get a kick out of it too.:)
Ever since we moved here last summer, I’ve been trying to figure out how to cover up a window in our bathroom. It faces the street, and it just happens to be directly across from our shower, so when I get out of the shower, I can see the neighbor’s house right across the street. Plus, the window’s round, so it’s just going to look weird if I try to cover it up with a curtain. I’ve actually went across the street and stood at our neighbor’s driveway, though, to see if anyone could see in that window (I know, crazy right? Dan thinks I am:)), even though it’s set just slightly higher than most windows. Yep, sure enough, I could see right in. Thank goodness for cloth shower curtains that aren’t see-through! But when I get out of the shower (TMI, I know….just bear with me, ’cause it is hilarious), for the last 3 months I’ve purposely kept the bathroom fan off, so the window would fog up, and I crouch down and halfway over when I get in and out so noone will see me. LOL Try drying off while crouching over, trying not to be seen.
Well, my sister-in-law, Jennifer, came a few weeks ago, and she suggested buying the snow that Walmart puts out at Christmas and using that to maybe cover it up. Thank you, Jennifer! As soon as Christmas stuff hit the shelves, I went and bought my $1.25 can of snow. Then I came home and got to spraying, trying to make it look decorative, yet covered enough that I could comfortably get my shower without giving anyone that drove by a show. LOL That stuff is wonderful; it worked, and we have complete privacy now! All because of that canned stuff they call snow….amazing stuff!:)

Well, being a mommy sure has its good days and then, well, its crazy, insane days.:) While Jacob and I were working steadily on our schoolwork Monday, here came Jaden with a piece of bread. He was so excited because he had found “Ba, a ‘nack!” (Translation: “Bread, a snack!”) At first, I was thinking, “Cool! He got himself a snack!” Then reality hit, and I knew, from experience, this might not be good, and I was afraid to head to the kitchen. When I did, I found a trail of bread all over the couch and down in, and then lovingly, stuffed down in the toaster. He was making us a ‘nack, toast. Needless to say, he did get in a little bit of trouble for wasting a half a loaf of bread, but on the other hand, I couldn’t help but giggle about it later on, so here’s my Friday Funnies.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! May you find happiness and make new memories today with your family.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~H.U. Westermayer
