Even The Biggest Man Can Fall!

Recently a friend of Angela's, involved in a network of  Mom's helping Mom's, came to the house to pick up all Miranda's baby stuff to be handed down to an expecting mother.  While visiting she brought a couple of boxes of assorted goodies, hand-me-down clothes and shoes for the baby girls.  Amongst them were a smattering of toys and a collection of girlchild related DVD'S.  Now, the most SHOCKING part of that is the fact that someone out there actually has kids, respectful enough, to allow a DVD to survive their early childhood!  Even locked up in our house, they still have a tendency to be re-purposed as a coaster, chair shim, Frisbee or shiny jewelry!  But no, these were unscratched and playable.

Unfortunately!

Seriously considering requesting Angela sever her relationship with whomever GAVE her these movies, I am just thankful that for the most part, I'm not home in the daytime when they get airtime.  Angela is MUCH more patient and accommodating then I in that respect!  She allows the girls to have full run of the TV during the day, when they so wish it, and relegates herself to household duties and her Ipad.

Well, this streak of good luck was broken for me last night, but I don't care how big or how bad you may think you are.  How tough or rigid a demeanor you may project to the outside world, for when your adorable little three year old girl climbs up into your lap to seek comfort in your hefty hide, you melt.  And anything in the world that her angelic little face my request becomes your sole purpose in being!

Even if that desire is to watch a Strawberry Shortcake Movie.

A decision that apparently has lingering repercussions, as this morning, while opening up and mopping the floor I gradually became aware of the fact I was singing the films "Springtime" tune.

ARRGH!!

But it's OK.  She lay on me the whole film, content and happy.  That made the sacrifice of my sanity worth it.

ANYWHO!!

This week is gonna be an interesting one!  Angela's new vocation is really starting to kick into high gear for the Holidays!  As more and more people are seeing the work that her and Daniel expertly do and are impressed greatly, they are getting more and more requests for bids.  Apparently their is a big Christmas Shindig at a resort down South of here and they will be working out this weekend, so it's me and the kiddo's holding down the homestead.  More so Elijah holding down the house, me the money maker (as usual).  It's good that her creative skills have found an outlet to shine!

As far as around here!  Well, yesterday was an unusual Tuesday as things were WAY busy!!  The Classic Schwinn Cross didn't last to long, as expected.  Once again a revisited friend gave her a new home!    It was the flood of repairs that REALLY kept us jumping!  Thanks to everyone for extending their trust!  It does our hearts good to see more and more people getting two wheels on the pavement!  Put out two SWEET new goodies!  A 24' Honda racer AND an exquisite Ladies Giant DX!  WOW!  She is a PEACH!! 

Have even more to work on, as well as today's influx of repairs, so I'd best get my ol' keister in gear!  See ya all soon!
