Reality Check

You realize that you have a spoiled child when you are doing laundry and suddenly realize that your baby girl is 8months old and this is only the second bottle of laundry detergent that you have used for her clothes. WOW!

 

What makes you realize that you have spoiled your kids to the best of your ability?

Food for thought...

I have been thinking...

I was thinking that we should all pool together and come up with a plan to feed the family for a week or two...

Just to get through the next couple of weeks...

so they don't have to worry about "what's for dinner"...

what do you think...?

I think it will be easy if we all work together... one person can do a favorite casserole, one person can do a dessert, bread, salad... anything really?

Come on guys... lets put our crock pots to work...!

here are some ideas...

1. spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
2. hot dogs, chips
3. meatloaf, green beans
4. tacos, refried beans, rice
5. pot roast w potatoes and carrots
6. hamburgers, chips/french fries
7. pizza delivered locally(CiCi's & Little Caesars have $5ea pizzas...Dominos too!)

CiCis Pizza 100 W Broad St Forney, TX 75126 972-552-2979
Dominos 1102 Ranch Rd #216 Forney, TX 75126 972-552-1790

Well that is 7 ideas right there... that would get them through the first week...

OOOhhh, just thought of another one...

8. Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes

What do yall think?

Who is with me?

I will do all the planning if yall with just comment and let me know what you would like to make/bring...

and if you have any other ideas for meals, please comment and let me know...

Thanks again for all your love and support... www.ourperryhome.blogspot.com

To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules for Dating .



Daddy's Rules for Dating
Your dad's rules for your boyfriend (or for you if you're a guy) :

Rule One:
    If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
    You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them..

Rule Three:
    I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
    I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a 'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
    It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early.'

Rule Six:
    I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
    As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge . Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
    The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
    Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
    Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a robber who wants to hurt my daughter.   When my shooting finger starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

I will only be posting about The Perrys on their blog from now on...if you would like to continue to receive updates please go to their blog www.ourperryhome.blogspot.com and enter your email address & click "subscribe me" (top of right sidebar)

Fwd: [The Awesome Allens Blog] Prayer Request- Please forward to everyone you know!

Subject: [The Awesome Allens] Prayer Request- Please forward to everyone you
know!

Hello All, one of my closes friends' family (Megan) is in need of some
strong prayer. Below is the story of her cousin's life. This story was
written a few months ago, but last night they were told by the doctors
that he only has a few days left. So tonight all the family has come
together to be with Justin (her cousin) and help him into God's arms.
Please read his story and pray for this family. Please check out their
web site. Justin will be leaving behind a wife and alot of medical
bills. There is a donate button on the front of their web page on the
right and if you can donate anything, I know they will be truly
grateful. Money is good but Prayers are what truly matters. Thanks,
Janet I would ask you to prayerfully consider my nomination for
newlyweds Amber and Justin Perry www.ourperryhome.blogspot.com for your
prayer list.
Amber is a young woman who has worked in my office, North Texas
Perinatal Associates, for the past three years. Like Sarah Palen, if
Amber had children, she would be a pit bull soccer mom ? since Amber
herself played on a three time all state soccer team coached by Bruce
Tower in Eustace, TX.

Amber's husband, Justin, who was born 25 years ago with cystic
fibrosis, received a lung transplant three years ago. Justin has spent
all but four of the past 50 days in the St. Paul University Hospital on
the campus of UT Southwestern Medical Center on increasing oxygen
support. Nearly two months away from his job at Dallas Dodge has placed
Justin and Amber in emotional, physical, and financial turmoil.

Drs. Blewett, Rosenblatt, and their team of sub-specialists caring for
Justin have told him and Amber that he has Acute, Rapidly Progressive
rejection of his lung transplant which is not responding to
conventional anti-rejection therapy.

In the near future, Dr. Blewett and his team will place Justin on one
last experimental therapy, Campath designed to stop or slow the
progressive deterioration of Justin's lung function. Only a few
individuals in the country have been on this experimental drug therapy.
The doctors and family are anxiously awaiting word from Duke University
concerning the details of the treatment protocol.

Since Justin is not a candidate for another lung transplant and because
of the rapid worsening of his breathing, Justin has discussed with his
doctors the option of placing a "Do Not Resuscitate" order on the
hospital chart ? What this means is the doctors, nursing, and
respiratory staff of the hospital will not intubate Justin when he
becomes too weak to breath on his own. Nor will the staff shock his
heart or inject him with epinephrine when his heart begins to quiver
from lack of oxygen ? Rather, Justin wants the family, who have been
constantly by his bedside, to hold his hand or give him a hug or a kiss
and talk to him or pray for him as he goes to join his Heavenly Father.

Like the Apostle Paul, for whom the hospital is named, Justin is "being
poured out like a drink offering, and the time (is near) for (his)
departure. (He has) fought the good fight, (He is finishing) the race,
(He has) kept the faith." Despite Justin's and the doctors best
efforts, if Campath does not work, he may not see many more holidays on
this earth ? if in fact, he even lives till Christmas. "Now there is in
store for (him) a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, will award to (him) on that day?"
Jesus, remember Justin when he comes into Your Kingdom. His Peace to
y'all.

(Love Ken and Linda Trimmer)

P.S. Jesus, in your Father's house are many rooms, where you are
preparing a place for us. Justin likes blue.
