clever

I love the conversations I have with Archer. This morning I made pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. I had finished everything on my plate and this is the conversation that followed:
Archer: You ate all yours. Eat some more.
Me: I don't know if I want anymore.
Archer: Oh, your full.

;o)
simplicity is so much.

scatter brained...

I have no intentions of writing in an organized fashion. I want to bullet a few things and show a few pics (if I remember):

• I got up and cleaned this morning. I was out of bed at 8 and by 10 the dishes were washed, floor vacuumed, kitchen swept and mopped, and boxes are in the process of burning.
• Mom's 50th bday gift arrived. I'm thrilled. Can't wait to give it to her.
• I have a hair appt at 1 today. I'm taking Archer with me. Probably going to prove to be a mistake and I will probably never do that again.
• Archer saw that forest fire commercial with Bambi on it and continuously said, "I wanna watch deer." until I finally obliged and put Bambi in the DVD player. If I would've known he would've sat through a movie like this then I would've used this strategy months ago.
• Wayne County's first football game is tonight. WP will make his coaching debut. I'm so proud. We will be at that game rain or shine. As long as there is no lightening, we will be there. Archer has a little football jersey now that says "LOFTON" on the back and has the numbers 00 on it.
• I was 18 weeks pregnant yesterday. As of last night I began feeling HER move.
• By the way, did I mention that I was having a baby girl???? We're tickled pink! I had secretly already bought 2 little girl sun dresses at Walmart off the $1 rack. I didn't tell WP that until he got to see that it was a girl. Honestly, I had been praying for a little girl from before the moment of conception. The good Lord knew I needed to spend a paycheck or two on bows and panty hose.
• I want to go see my brother tomorrow but I don't think it's feasible. He has been at this prison for months now and I haven't seen him since May, when he was still in Vicksburg jail. I am off this weekend but I have plans tonight then Sunday afternoon I have to be at a baby shower I'm hosting. It would take me 3 hours to get to Dustin to see him for a while on Saturday. Maybe my next off weekend.
• I'm thinking about petitioning Brittany White out of Atlanta and back to MS. I feel like if I get enough people to sign then she'll HAVE to come back. She won't have a choice. I am NOT being irrational. (yes you are.) No I'm not! ahem...
• I need a flat iron but am too frugal to pay all that money for a good one. Anyone have a worn out good one that they want to sale to me for discounted price? I'll be glad to give you 50 bucks...but no more.

Ok, I guess I need to begin devising a plan to keep Archer entertained, situated, and out of the way during my hair appointment. Is it legal to duct tape your child to a chair for 20 minutes? No harm done other than the whole false imprisonment issue.

Where, Oh Where, Could Sarah Palin Go?

So I open my Yahoo account to check my emails and on the worldy news there is an article titled, "Sarah Palin resigns". What? Seriously? I can't imagine how hard it must be to run a state and have 4 (or 5) kids, not to mention a 14 month old! I can't help but wonder where she's going to go and what she's going to do. I guess her not being voted in as Vice President was a blessing in disguise. Maybe it is all a little too much for her at this time. I bet this has been plaguing her for a while. I could be wrong, and I probably am wrong. But for all of you who didn't know... Sarah Palin has resigned her position as Governor of Alaska.

WP and Archer left today for their 4th of July weekend away from home. WP is on the reservoir in Jackson with some friends and Archer is at Momma's. I called Momma when I left work to check in on my little precious one. My Mother's brainwashing him has begun! ;o) Here's what was said:
Meme: What does the cow say?
Archer: Mooooooooooooo
Meme: What does the dog say?
Archer: arf arf arf
Meme: What does Meme say?
Archer: I love you, Archer!
HAHA!
Dern, why didn't I think of that?

The house is quiet tonight. Wait a minute, actually the house is not quiet at all. I'm washing clothes and my washer is off balance so at this very moment my washer is probably walking down my hallway. From the sounds of it, it is MARCHING down the hallway with an entire army! But other than the washer, fan, and air conditioner the house is quiet. I miss my fellas. I hope they have a good time, though.

Off to sit on the washer- or unplug it.
