Extraordinary: because the Lord blesses me daily. Ordinary: because I am just an average every day woman.

So it's eleven fifteen and I can't seem to sleep. All I can do is sit there and blog in my head so I may as well blog online. I was lying there thinking about my vacation to Kanab and all the cute sayings in Holly's brother's beautiful home. The one I liked the best was "Cleaning the house while the children are growing is like plowing the walk while it is still snowing." Then I thought about the saying our friend bought for her daughter-in-law. It said, "A mother of boys works from son up to son down." Then as I got thinking about the popularity of vinyl lettering I realized that my grandma had her own form of vinyl lettering. Back then they were called plaques. I had to update the blog I wrote for my grandma. Her most famous plaques were, "no matter where I serve my guests, they seem to like my kitchen best," and her other one had men singing barbershop quartet (so I guess that one was Grandpa's) and it had the letters SPEBSQSA. The letters stood for "Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America." We would joke that they stood for, "Some People Especially Bishops Should Quit Singing All together." Whenever you would repeat that Grandpa would always get his silly grin on his face. He was always such a tease. Ok well I can't seem to get anything else to come to mind that makes any sense. It's much like the things Kent says to me as he is falling asleep. In fact as I was tossing and turning I tried to cuddle up to him and he said to me, "Babe your crushing us." When I asked who I was crushing he stated, "Me and my kid." Funny thing is Braxton is tucked safely in his crib so I don't know exactly how I was crushing him. Oh well I better stop there because I can go on and on about Kent talking in his sleep. Once he gets dreaming you'd better watch out because he'll put you to work digging trenches and the like. Then he starts giving you the most odd directions. I have to say though that I love that about him it often makes for an interesting nights sleep. Luckily he falls asleep before I do or he may just catch me looking for raindeer as I did in my sleep on Christmas eve when I was a young girl. Cheryl told me all about it the next morning. Ok well off to bed I go. Hopefully this time the sandman will come and put me out. Nighty Night!

I love when people talk in their sleep. Mike is always talking to me in his sleep. Occasionally, he will actually sit up in bed. You really have to be careful when he is dreaming about soccer, he can kick hard.
