All 50 pounds of her 4-legged, black-furried, long-tongued, slobbery doggness. She was our one and only. When we moved to a new town and a small yard, Molly got a little rowdy. She barked a little too much. Okay, a lot too much. Okay, okay, we got a warning from the city that they'd fine us if she didn't quit. So we got a bark collar. I didn't want to use it until I tested it. Can I just stop the story there by saying it worked and we didn't use it? Ouch. We now have 3 kids, but before there were kids, there was Molly.

Needless to say, I slid on a wet floor, wiped out, and thought I had broken my arm. Hopefully, I'll learn.

I don't think I'll buy the book for my three guys. It is good to just be silly and impulsive sometimes though. Losing your breakfast is the pits. I won't be sharing today as there are somethings my kids just shouldn't be able to trace back to me. Funny stuff. I don’t think I’ll buy the book for my three guys.

But, my dads best friend did & I had the misfortune of mistaking his 'spitter' for my soda. I took a big swig and promptly hurled all over the floor. If I am ever around him, I keep my drinks with me at all times!! I’ve never chewed. But, my dads best friend did & I had the misfortune of mistaking his ‘spitter’ for my soda.

I like that verse, though. We often fight about what is right, and if this is OK or that sin or not. But that is not the point. The point is that it isn't important if it is bad. The point is if it is helping you! If it is not helping in your effectiveness in life, then kick it to the curb! And that is all there is to it! http://walkaschildren.blogspot.com Crazy, crazy boy!
