You Will Wear Those Tap Shoes

Just as I said, this weekend is BUSY....and it's only Saturday. Tomorrow will be jam packed, as well. Today started early with cleaning and washing. I think that I have mentioned my bit of OCD before. Now, I do not keep an immaculate house. I tend to throw things in drawers and under beds. However, I DO get things on my mind. When they get there, they are there and must be handled. So, since Granny B has been out (for three weeks), I have had this obsession of washing clothes. Granny B normally washes a couple of loads per day, and I then wash the rest on the weekends or mid-week. Well, for whatever reason, I am insistent that all clothes should be washed daily...not a sock to be left dirty. I know. CRAZY...but that's how the day started. Cleaning...and most importantly...washing. ;)

We also had to run to Athens to get Faith some tap shoes. We almost NEVER found the place, and I know NOTHING about tap shoes. ZERO. So, we go in, I tell the lady I need tap shoes, and she starts asking me things that I have not a CLUE about. Like, is she supposed to wear socks or tights with her shoes???  Well, I assume tights...but IDK!!! I went with tights, so that initiated us to buy the smaller size. Faith heard this whole conversation. So, as soon as we stepped outside, she says that the shoes we purchased hurt her feet AND she wanted to wear socks with them. Of course, I got in a panic and contemplated turning right around and exchanging them. Cody looked like he wanted to kill us both.  I've noticed lately that Faith likes to be a little difficult...in that she doesn't want to agree with me and that she wants to make my life a little harder (can't wait to see what she's like as a teenager). So, I turned right around and said, "Okay, Faith. If they hurt your feet, I imagine that I need to let Mallory just wear and have them." Faith immediately says, "I wear them." End of story. Score. :)

We ran around Athens like crazy people in an effort to get back home in time for Cody to go to a tractor pull. So, I've been hanging out with three cuties all evening by my lonesome. I offered to take them to the park in Madison, but they wanted to stay here. Overall, they were really sweet. After getting in a bit of trouble, however, Faith started spouting off something about "trust and obey." Sweet. They ARE listening at school! :)

Tomorrow will be busy, as well. Church in the morning...did I mention that I am teaching Faith, Cam, and Mallory's class? I am actually enjoying it! Tomorrow afternoon, we will be celebrating my birthday at my mom and dad's.

Another fixation that I have right now, is getting all pictures uploaded and developed. I am exactly one year behind in photos. Oops. Anyway, I found this one and thought it was funny. This is what happens each time we get on the trampoline. Happened tonight. I end up yelling, "GET OFF EACH OTHER!!!" Lol.
