Tim's New Love Interest

I am no longer the love of Tim's life
and
I am no longer the love of Mary Margaret and Taylor's life
and
I might be a little smitten with this gorgeous and sweet dog...Farrah.

November 2011

November has been busy. We took awesome family photos.

Tim is an avid duck hunter. This is how I get to see him...in photos. He's 3rd from the left.
Ben Butler, John Butler, Tim Butler and Johnny Hess.


The girls had a wreck and pretty much totaled Mary Margaret's truck. MM was airlifted to the MED in Memphis. She ended up with a compressed fracture in her #1 Lumbar, neck sprain and a bunch of bruises and sore muscles. Taylor has a broken collar bone and a bruise that matched her seat belt. We spent 27 hours at the MED and a week at home. So Thankful for God and Seat Belts.


Glorious Gift of Christmas at Wynne Baptist Church, this was my table!
Thanksgiving was blah as far as the holiday itself. I have so many things to be Thankful for and I really don't have to wait for the holidays to say it.

We got snow for my birthday on December 6. I ate lunch with my BFF Dianna Moore, went to the 5th grade Christmas Play, and then went home and chilled (MM's favorite word). Tim and I were up at 12:30 AM just in time to watch it snow. (oh how romantic). Wednesday Sandy took me to lunch for my birthday!

Getting in the Christmas mood is hard work! We've started with the decorating of the Funeral Home and its looking pretty darn good! At home, the kitchen is ready for Christmas and that is it!

I've ordered Christmast cards that I am totally pumped about!

Hopefully, December will be Glorious and quiet!

JPC's

Sunday, the JPC's are donating food to the Good Shepard Center. The good Shepard Center feeds, clothes, and pay utilities and much more for people in our community that are having hard times. You never know who you are helping, there were many times when my brothers and I were growing up that the Good Shepard Center fed us and kept the electricty on. Many times.

The feeling of worrying about where your next meal is coming from, if your electricity will be on when you get home from school is not a good feeling. I spent many nights in the cold and the heat. Been there and done that. Children should not have that burden. I'm not looking for a pitty party, I've risen above those hard times.

I just think we need to support our community and the people who are trying to help.

So, I would like to ask my friends to... help the JPC's by donating just one item. Let's help them make this year be the JPC's biggest donation ever. If you want to donate, bring your item to Kernodle Funeral Home, where I work. They turn their items in on Sunday. This is one of the hardest statuses for me so far to post. So, go me. I am thankful for the the Good Shepard Center and the sweet people who donate their time to run it, Mrs Lula Settlemire, Mae Teague, Judy Pufahl, and many others.

At The End Of My Short Rope

I am at the end of a very short rope. It makes me want to run around in a sing song voice singing: Boys are stupid nanner nanner boo boo. Kids are mean nanner nanner boo boo.

Taylor is now single.

Taylor said the boy that invited her to the bonfire because he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. She says he asked. She says that she said yes. He kissed her twice. He has another girlfriend. The thing with Taylor was all done for a dare. THAT is so wrong. She skipped her JPC Barn Dance for this bonfire. I can't believe I let her. No, wait a minute. I can believe that I let her because I was excited for her. She was excited. She was WAY excited. Stupid boys. Stupid Kids.

I even talked with his mom when I dropped her off at the bonfire. I told her that Taylor said they might be boyfriend and girlfriend by the end of the night. I told her that I thought her son was a good kid. I had asked around about him. She agreed that she would love for Taylor to be his girlfriend. The mom knew about the other girlfriend. That is WRONG.

What's even more wrong than that? Taylor thinks all of this was OKAY!!!! She had the nerve to ask me could she still go to Bingo at the Catholic Church with him last night!! She was upset with me because I told her to stop texting him. She was upset this morning when I said they weren't going to school early so she could stand with him before school.

What do I do to make her understand this is not cool without hurting her feelings.

I will be snooping in her phone tonight. I want to see if she was part of this plan or really knew nothing.

The Hall Monitor in me is coming out...

Watch out.

Spooking Up Butler Manor

Saturday a plan was hatched. The teenagers at Butler Manor needed to be scared. Payback for a horrible summer and for the numerous scaring that I have gotten over the years. My cousin, Ashley is married to Pete who loves to scare people. He does a good job. He got both girls. Taylor was scared at the Funeral Home warehouse and Mary Margaret and her boyfriend were scared at our house.

We were able to record Taylor's video because there were lights. Mary Margarets was too dark. :(
Taylor is still a little mad at me!




Nicole videoed this for me. Taylor begging Pete to not hurt her. Please don't hurt her. Pete said she offered him the Pepsi she had in her hand to not hurt her. Nicole could not catch up to Taylor after she ran. Taylor ran to our truck locked the front doors...
forgot to lock the back doors....
Pete grabs the doors and jiggles them and then gets in the backseat of the truck. Taylor by this time was swinging at Pete. He takes his mask off and it's still a few mintues before Taylor realizes that it's Pete.

We all head out to our house where Pete plans to scare Mary Margaret and her boyfriend. It's real dark at our house. He gets Mary Margaret and her boyfriend at the front door. He slips around from under our crepe myrtles and gets them. Mary Margare claimed she wasn't scare the whole time.

WHATEVER.
