I gave blood this week.  (I promised myself to give blood at least 7 times in gratitude for all those who donated their blood for Ty&#8217;s 7 transfusions).  When I was done, the nurse said something to me with a totally serious expression that left me baffled.  &#8220;Raise your arm above your head and leave it there for 60 seconds or a minute &#8211; whichever comes first.&#8221;   ??????  \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>2.  After Ty&#8217;s serious choking incident, it took him a few minutes to return to full alertness.  When he did, he looked at the popcycle in the sink and said &#8220;No!&#8221;.  Then looked at me and said &#8220;Anover snack?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3.  Tanner has prayed and thanked the Lord for &#8220;Braxton Reese&#8221; everynight since she was born &#8211; all on his own.  I asked him if he changed his mind and wanted a baby sister now.  He said &#8220;yes&#8221;! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>4.  Ann Coulter.  Ann Coulter always makes me grin.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Wondering how I got high-jacked into attending Cabela&#8217;s grand opening with the rest of Phoenix.  (Cabela&#8217;s is an outdoor sportsmen warehouse.  Tanner would never let me throw Cabela&#8217;s magaines away when they came in the mail and would carry them all around the house at 2 years of age.)  Needless to say, we were there for 2 hours.  Sheeesssh.<\/p>\n<p>6.  The fact that Kristi Simpson posted a commented on my blog this week.  Miracles never cease.  Maybe Jodi will be next;)!<\/p>\n<p>7.  Speaking of Kristi, Kristi and I enjoyed the Go Fish concert this week even more than our kids.<\/p>\n<p>8.  I got most of my laundry done.<\/p>\n<p>9.  Jim&#8217;s birthday is Monday and we are celebrating after church Sunday.  He wanted Monkey Bread that I could buy in a package from Walmart instead of me making dessert.  I have a busy day ahead so that made me smile.<\/p>\n<p>10.  Tanner needs to sing his ABC&#8217;s perfectly in sync.  In order to accomodate his tempo, he adds letters to keep on beat.  THAT is cute.  Ty sang the entire song this week dropping only a few letters.  <\/p>\n<p>11.  Ty saying &#8220;Aunt Sissy&#8230;.ummm&#8230;..just mommy&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why am I writing this right now?  Simple.  I am stalling.  My mother in law is coming in from Chicago tomorrow and I am suppossed to be cleaning and doing my sunday school lessons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
