While I was at the mall, I was approached by one of those sales people who work at a kiosk. She asked me if I wanted to thread my eyebrows. It's a method used by people from India. At first, I said no. Then, I thought what the heck? You know me, I'll try anything. So I did it.
It hurt worse than waxing! With waxing, one yank of the strip and it's over, not with threading. I think I held to the arm of my chair so tight, it may still have my imprints on it. It was worth it though. I may try it again, long after I have forgotten about the pain.

20 Years!
I know I am a little late posting this, but it's not too late to brag on my hubby. In June, my humble husband received his master peace officer bar for being a police officer for 20 years! Congrats, Babe!Crib No More
A few days ago, Ricky took the railing off Allan's crib to covert his "as you grow" bed to a day bed. Do you know how sad that is for me? My last baby is growing too fast! He never tried to jump out of his crib. It was just time make the conversion so he could go to the rest room during the night to potty. Scott and I were tired of having our beauty sleep disturbed by screams during the night because he can't get out. I'm not ready to let go and give him a little boy room yet. 
Eternal Rest
My grandma went home on Monday afternoon to be with her maker and to reunite with my grandfather. She's survived by eight children, 17 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren.

Scott syndrome
Apparently, Scott is rubbing off on me. First I washed and damaged my cell phone and today after I took the kids to visit my paternal grandmother who is now on hospice, we stopped at Bealls and Hibbet Sport in Ennis to get a head start on school clothes shopping. Well, we headed out to the car to make our journey back home when I discovered I lost my keys. Elena, Ricky, Brandon and I searched for them for thirty minutes before I had to make the dreaded call to my hubby.
Scott was taking a nap with Allan and didn't answer the phone so I had to leave a message. Good thing, it wasn't an emergency.
Anyway, luckily, my parents were still in the area. They picked us up and took us to Braums. An hour later, Scott returned my call. My parents took me to meet him in DeSoto for the extra set of keys and they drove me back to Ennis. (Thanks Mom & Dad!)
It wasn't quite the afternoon I planned for and I'm certain they didn't either, but I've adopted a new outlook (to look for the positive in the negative). I'm "trying" to anyway, thanks to an email I received from Gina last week.
The positive I discovered was spending time with my parents. I really enjoyed the road trip. It's been awhile since I've spend some quality time with them alone.
When we finally made it home, the sales associate from Bealls had called stating someone found my keys in the parking lot. Do you think I would have received a phone call, if I had lost them in the city?

Family Reunion
This weekend was Jeanette's (my mother-in-law) annual family reunion in Brownwood, TX. It's always held the first weekend of August, dead in middle of no where in the TX deadly heat. We woke up early Saturday morning and drove three hours to head out to the luxurious Days Inn.
While there, I learned Scott's cousin is the pharmacist in Red Oak. Who knew? I also, discovered my husband's family reunion is NOTHING like mine, which by the way, I last went to mine 15 years ago. When you do it Mexican style, there's bingo, dancing, music, drama, gossip, and it doesn't end till the beer is gone. I'm gonna have to definitely bring the bingo with me next time to liven it up.
People I don't know and nor does Scott.
Kids if you ever see these people, you can't hook up with them.
Pic taken by an ole relative who took like five minutes to take it because she didn't know how to operate my camera even after a demonstration and she only took one pose...hence my eyes being closed.
The only enjoyment for the kids.
We drove back home that afternoon. You know you are in the country when you pass a DQ in every town. You know, we had to stop. I was saddened when the cashier told me they didn't have burritos. My chin hit the floor, so we just bought ice cream. Normally, Allan just eats a couple of bites of his ice cream and I have to throw out the rest. This time I thought I would just let him eat a couple bites off mine, I didn't get him one. Yeah, I totally got jacked!

Last week review
I made no time for blogging last week. Here are a few things that occurred, though.
~ I washed my cell phone. Yeah, I wanted to disinfect it, apparently. Good thing, I have two extra.
~ I planned on taking Elena and Bran to the Ranger game on Wednesday, but as luck would have it, a storm was scheduled to blow in. It was super dark out and lighting. We waited for the long awaited rain and NOTHING! We postponed our trip till Friday.
~ I took the kids to see The Hulk. By the way, did you know movie theater now require you to purchase a movie ticket for 2 year olds? I didn't get to see the last 15 minutes. Allan said he was scared, so waited in the car for Elena and Brandon.
~ Went to the lake house for the weekend. Took my cousin, Trey. Forgot my camera, so I was bummed I couldn't take pics. Elena caught a catfish..................it cost us about $100. Hope she enjoyed eaten it.
