someone help me

by socialchick~ The other day I was making Miss Priss clean her room and this is how our conversation went.

"Momma I need you to help me clean my room. I can't do it by myself."

I replied "well I'm having to clean the rest of the house are you going to help me?"

"Yes mam so can you help me clean my room?"

"No baby I'm folding clothes right now."

"Well I need someone to help me!"

"Then you better ask Jesus to help you."

Miss Priss starts walking away and I hear her in the sweetest little voice say, "Jesus can you please help me clean my room?'

15 minutes later she came out and her room was clean. I guess Jesus helped her.

america stinks

by socialchick~ Don't throw your stones yet. I literally mean that the majority of people in America stink. Let me explain.

I have been to four concerts in the past two months. Every concert that I have went to I have sat in front of, behind, or next to someone who has stunk. They have either smelled sour, like they have been outside all day, or just a huge fart. Seriously people. I know that my nose may be a little sensitive right now, but a bath does a lot of good. So here is a little lesson in hygiene before a huge event with tons of people.

1. This one is a no brainer. Take a bath before you come. A little water and a little soap can go a long way. Just using water is not a bath!

2. Wash your hair! Natural grease does not look like fixed hair. It sinks and you smell like a wet dog!

3. USE DEODORANT! Your under arms are crying out from underneath the stench. It takes 2 seconds to apply it.  Stop being lazy.

4. Wear clothes that have been washed and dried within the past month. I say dried because there is nothing like smelling a sour pair of clothes all night. If you want to be green then dry them outside!

5. A small dab of perfume or cologne is a good thing. Not a bottle of it. No one wants to sit next to a person who smells like they have been working the streets all night.

6. Make sure you keep good company. If you are with someone who stinks then help them out. Help them embrace the good smells of soap, shampoo, lotions, and perfumes. If the person you are with stinks then you might as well stink with them.

7. Last but not least. If you are feeling a little gassy then please let it out before entering into a building. If you feel the urge during the program or show then hold it until you get to the bathroom. Here is a small lesson in holding in your toots. Squeeze your butt cheeks tight and suck in. Believe me your neighbor will thank me!

Now you know how to smell good and look clean for all of your holiday events.

what is it

  by socialchick~

 

OR

 

  

Today we had an ultrasound and found out what the baby is.  

Do you want to know?

 

Are you sure you want to know?

Really?

Maybe we should keep it a secret and surprise everyone.

Maybe.....

But

No, I couldn't do that.  You know I couldn't wait that long.

It's a.......

 

Mr. Social is SO outnumbered!  He says he's batting 1000.

Singer and I made Bakerella's cake pops to surprise everyone with our news....we're even surprising the chicks!  SURPRISE!

this is sewious

by socialchick~ For our fall festival at church our kids (singers and mine) are being the big bad wolf and the three little pigs. Pictures will be coming soon.

Last night we picked up the big bad wolf mask from Bossychick (who did an awesome job). Miss Priss asked if Big man was going to blow her house down. I said yeah, that is what the big bad wolf does in the story doesn't he. I told her that it is only pretend.

She then informed me that "if Big Man blows down her and little Mans house they there were going to call the Wonder Pets." And she was sewious! I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee in my pants. I'm glad that she has tons of confidence in the Wonder Pets because "this is sewious!"

out of his league

by socialchick~ Mr.Social and I went to a Lincoln Brewster Concert last Sunday. I wish I had pictures but didn't take the camera. So while we were there Lincoln Brewster stopped singing for a while to share a little about his family.

He shared and showed pictures of his two cute little boys and then he put a picture up of his wife. He stopped right here and said can you tell I married out of my league? Then he asked a question to all of the men in the building. "How many of you men know what I'm talking about and married out of your league?" I looked over at my husband and his hand was not raised. Then Lincoln Brewster made the best comment of the night. He said " Guys if you are here with your wife and she is sitting by you and you didn't raise your hand then you are just dumb!"

Thanks LIncoln I couldn't agree with you more. Mr. Social you need to learn a few thing from him. Whether you think you married out of your league or not you could of at least tickled my fancy for the night. lol!

cartoons gone crazy

by socialchick~ This blog is for all of you moms or dads out there that have to get up with your child and watch all of the cartoons that are on crack.

I once heard a story from somebody who had an older child and an infant. The infant had been up all night and the parents were exhausted. So early that morning the older child got up ready for her cartoons. So instead of getting up out of bead the parents turned Oswald on and let the little girl watch cartoons in their bed while they tried to sleep. The story of this particular Oswald was the town was drowning and they were trying to figure out a way to get out of the town. Oswald was in a boat telling everyone to row and they ran into problem after problem. Well that dad had had enough. He sits up in bed and says "just swim you stupid thing you are an octopus with 8 legs made for swimming."

This was to funny for me because I know exactly how he feels. There are several cartoons out there that make no since or that gets on my nerves so bad. For instance, why can Mickey Mouse (who is an animal), Minnie Mouse (who is an animal), Donald Duck (who is an animal), Daisy (who is an animal), and Goofy (who is a dog) can talk but pluto can't (who is a dog and an animal).

Or what about Dora. How come some times telling Swiper no swiping works but then there are times that my child will scream Swiper no swiping and that stupid fox can still swipe whatever object he is after.

So what are some of the cartoons that get on your nervous? Do you have a story or a moment where you have just had enough of our crazy cartoons? Leave a comment and tell us your favorite cartoon moment. lol!

always planning

by socialchick~

Before I start this blog let me just say that this is not for plannerchick. I have not put any hidden messages in it and I am not trying to send her a message within my post. This is something that has been on my heart that I have experienced lately.

We plan out our lives. Even as a small child we plan on when we think we should get married, what we should do for a living, how many kids we want and when we want them.

I had it all planned out; married by 18, have a kid 6 years later, then another one 2 years after that, and maybe one more 3 years later. That was my plan. We have Miss priss and Little Sis but didn't plan on even trying for another one until Little Sis had turned 2. Well needless to say here I am now Miss Priss 3, Little Sis 18 months and another one is on the way.

So where did I ever say in my plan of life, "God what is your plan for me?" I always thought that I would just walk the way that I thought and God would lead me. But then I got pregnant and was a little on the upset side. Because I didn't even stop to think that this was God's plan for me and Mr. Social from the very beginning of our lives.

So you can plan all you want but do you have room for God's plan to fit into your life? We try to plan day to day or week to week or even year to year but do we every say God if this is not your plan for me then please disrupt my plan and show me yours?  Then when God totally changes our plan, do we have a good attitude about it?

I felt like God told me a few weeks back that he was looking for a NOW Generation! A generation that doesn't hold back and ask why or analyze everything. A generation that hears God and immediately responds to what he tells us to do.

So if we have everything planned out for our lives then do we have time to be a Now generation! If God tells us to pray in a business meeting, are we alright doing it knowing that we may loose our job? If God tells us to lay hands on someone in Wal-Mart, do we stop because of the social status we have in our community? A Now Generation doesn't worry about tomorrow, they live in the word of God that he spoke to them at that moment!

A few weeks ago God told me to grab a flag at church and wave it. Well I hesitated and I heard him say, "Do you have enough faith in me to know that I can conquer every battle that you go through?" So I grabbed the flag and began to wave it. That night I started spotting and figured that I was having a miscarriage. Mr. Social grabbed me up and began to pray. That very moment that same soft spoken voice said, "Do you not have enough faith in me to know that I can win every battle that you go through?" At that very moment I had peace! Because of my now actions with waving the flag it built my faith up enough to have faith immediately when the situation looked bad.

You never know what God is preparing you for when he asks you to do something "Now"! Your "now" faith, or your "now" obedience leads to a "Now generation!

Lets stop worrying about how we have planned out our lives and try to pull together and be a sold out living for God Now Generation!

you might be a red neck.......... pregnant

by socialchick~

So by now I think all of you know that I am pregnant. I have started to feel a few symptoms so why not make a funny post out of it. Let me hear a "Holla" from you if you know what I mean.

If you have to tell the girls you are traveling with that you are so sorry for any odd smells but holding in your gas will hurt you more than making them smell it. You might be pregnant.

If anything that looks green might give you heart burn. Like even looking at a green crayon. You might be pregnant.

If you break down and cry because your husband wouldn't keep the kids in the other room while you are trying to use the bathroom. You might be pregnant.

If your parents think you are in a deep depression and never coming out of it. You might be pregnant.

If 7:00 p.m. rolls around and you are not in the bed yet you might shoot someone. You might be pregnant.

If you go to a restaurant and about cuss out a waitress for not reading your mind and bringing you sweat tea and bread as soon as you sit down. You might be pregnant.

If you get car sick because someone pushed their breaks one time. You might be pregnant.

If you are at a women's conference and have to keep your eyes open during the prayer because it is very long and you are about to fall a sleep. You might be pregnant.

If 6:40 rolls around and you are cussing out your alarm clock for waking you up even though you set the time. That stupid thing how could it obey my instructions. You might be pregnant.

If your ear is stopped up and blood is covered the inside of your nose every morning. You might be pregnant.

If your favorite heels that you have worn 450 times are now giving you a blister because your foot must of grown 1/2 inch in 8 weeks. You might be pregnant.

and last ....

If you want to sit on the couch all day and do nothing because you are pretty sure your bones will break from being so tired. You might be pregnant.

are you kidding me?

by socialchick~ I need your help and I need everyone to comment so that I can win the battle between me and my husband. Here is where the battle started. A friend of mine (a mother of four) told me that I should let Mr. Social name this child because I was having a hard time thinking of something. So I told him that he could come up with a name for a girl because we already have a boy name. We have had it since we were pregnant with Miss Priss. That was a big mistake!

Last night while sitting in bed we started talking about girl names. I thought that we were doing good because we both like Abby but then the conversation took a wrong turn. Mr. Social blurts out with Thursten. I immediately said heck no. He then argues with me that I told him that he could name the baby.

Let me fill you in on where Thursten is coming from. His real name is Theodore and my name is Kristen. So he put the names together. I asked him if he was serious like 22 times and he said yes that he liked it a lot.

So this is where you come in. He told me to put it on the blog and see what everyone else thought. I told him no and that there was no way someone was going to like the name Thursten. He told me that I was scared because you (the readers) would like it. So let me know what you think. If someone actually writes that they like the name, I will get a pistol, find you , and shoot you . Bossychick I'm watching you! Ok, ok, you can write  your honest opinion but I need everyone to comment so that I can have more no than yes. Please don't let me down! Don't make a pregnant person cry!

and the pregnant chick is...

by socialchick~ ...me. That's right. Only one person guessed it so way to go Heather S. I know you are shocked, but get over it.  We are having our third and we're done.

Here are some things that I have already heard.

I'm glad it is you and not me. Well me too because if you were pregnant by Mr. Social I would have to shoot you.

Don't you know what is causing it?  Yes I do and I like it!

What are you going to do with 3 kids?  Definitely not call you since you just showed that you have no clue what to do with 3.

Were you trying or was this an accident?  Well I don't see how this is any of your business, but if you must know I try several times a week. lol! I'm just sayin!

Bless your heart! Yes you are right because I'm about to smack you in the face and then you will really want to bless my heart!

Are you trying for a boy?  I would be lying if I said I didn't want a boy, but last time I checked I wasn't in charge of this.

Are you going to be upset if it's another girl?  Yes, if it's a girl we are giving it up for adoption. Seriously people!

Anyway the socialchick family is very excited and going to be welcoming our new bundle in late April. I would like to tell you that I'm going to be better during this pregnancy than the last two, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to have a better attitude and enjoy this last pregnancy. So any prayers that you want to send my way I would appreciate it!

Here is a picture of our little pea.
