This Is How I Roll over the Valley's and Mountains

Whoever thought, when I was a kid, that being an adult would mean crossing death defying mountains and valley's.

I've been rolling, tumbling, jumping, stumblins, clawing my way back up mountains and valleys.

It's always harder the week after is true. While Dianne was sick, I tried really hard to not bother her with silly stuff, now, how many times I picked up the phone up to send her a picture, or OMG I can't believe Mary Margaret said that, or to tell her Taylor bought a belly burner to loose weight and is wearing it to school, to tell her the mistakes I've made handling this weekend's teenage drama or that Philip finally admited, out loud, that he likes me. (I knew he did all along LOL). I wanted to tell her how proud I felt, when Philip came to me at the visitation and said there were people HE wanted me to meet...they were his teachers from school. PROUD I tell you.

She would have been speachless when she saw all the people lined up for her visitation. She would have been PROUD of all her boys, they were so strong.

Someone (who shall remain nameless) told me that blogging and facebook is stupid, no one needs to know all your business. It's not. I've read bits and pieces of Dianne's blog several times over the last several weeks, gone back over comments on facebook, and it's priceless.

I was thinking of giving up blogging. I'm not going to. Someday, someone might want to know what I had to say.

This is how I roll...LOL

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!
