The Big Stinker

OK!OK! I know some women don't care to just let one rip anywhere, anytime in front of anyone BUT (Big BUT) I am not one of those!

I can remember the very first time I farted (ok who came up with that word) in front of my now husband.  We were wrestling around and he was tickling me. There were a few other people sitting just steps away. Mid tickle, a short but lout fart managed to escape. I came to a frozen halt, staring at CAB (My honey)! He realized in about a millisecond what had just happened. He then immediately took blame for the short, loud fart. YEP! He pretended like it was him. With the others just a couple steps away, I was dying inside of embarrassment! But he took all the heat! One of the many reasons I love that man!

Still to this day, unless I absolutely have no choice, I still do not fart in front of this man. I just don't. This man has watched me birth 3 children. They will outfart each other. I am just sitting over here saying 'Moms don't fart!'  (The kids believed me for awhile!!)

I have one friend that don't give one little poop (pun intended) about letting one rip in front of her man.  ANother girl told me that she goes #2 with the door open!! WHAT!!!!!???? I would never!

So what do you think? Is it ok to let one rip? Or do you like to pretend us women don't fart!!?

The Lake~A great way to forget about the bills!!

We are campers. We love to go to the lake. If I had it my way we would have a house down there and go every single weekend. (maybe one day). I sometimes dream of living there but there are very few places to get a job, besides the local diner that employees probably 10 people total.

When I head to the lake I know that for 3-5 days I will have NO problems. It is a great way to forget everything for a couple of days. I absolutely take advantage of this. I don't worry about a single thing.

My favorite part of the lake is this:
                    I generally will always wake up before everyone else. I like to quietly sneak out of the tent and sit by the fire (that I usually have to cheat to light) and just listen to the morning sounds. The early birds, the early birds going out on their boats and making slow waves hit. There are sounds of other campers waking up for the morning and starting breakfasts   There is ALWAYS a family of ducks. Ducks are pretty amazing. The babies really count on their mothers.  It is very relaxing and my brain can actually relax. This is by far what I look forward to when going camping.

I highly recommend taking a camping trip with your family. It is a great way to bond. There are several things to do. We don't have a boat and it is sooo much to rent one. We do not lack things to do.
We stay at the campground beach a lot. There is a park there and a volleyball net. We go hiking and FISHING and we even have found a local waterfall that we now go enjoy. They have movie night on Saturdays. There is a big white wood board and they use old style projectors. You bring blankets and snacks and have a good ol time!

It is an all around cheap family trip also. The food is probably the most expensive but you can coupon your way there!! 

The time is here and I am ready to pack up and go..!


Here are a few pictures of us at the lake!

How I was able to watch American Idol

Does anything ever happen in you house that is so SUPER cute you want to share with the world! This is MY Share. Here is the back story. My child Charlie who is 8 was being creative with the DVD cases and building a tower....NOW NOW I know these aren't a toy but he was gleefully allowing me to watch American Idol by keeping himself busy with this! He was so excited that it was ACTUALLY working that he was innocently giggling out of control.

If you have had a bad day this will turn it around! If you have had a great day this will add a little more Sunshine! It will for sure make you laugh! It is under a minute and totally worth that minute of your life!!

ENJOY! Smile & Share with someone who needs a smile!!
