Who wears the pants in this family???

When Jeff and I had been married just a short time (he was working in Management at Taco Bell) one of the men there pulled him aside and said:  You know Jeff I am worried about your relationship...I am wondering who wears the pants in your family.    Jeff smiled and said the guys name and said    Don't worry about it, Cherie does.  
Hahaha.  Oh my goodness this guy was taught old school and was so concerned Jeff wasn't the heavy in the relationship.   Jeff and I seem to do pretty well together...when he needs to give an opinion he isn't shy and neither am I... we have worked for nearly 16 years that way...actually before that, as well.  
I was thinking about this incident this morning early when no sleep took over and I came up with the line I posted on facebook.   I know I put all these things on this blog...not many comment on it...but I crack myself up!!!  My mom used to say it only takes one person to think something is funny and if it happens to be yourself...so be it!  haha.  
So I posted a nice quote I have come up with...

I wouldn't say I wear the pants in the family but I do wear pretty long shorts sometimes!

So that is my quote to share for the day...and my husband doesn't have a problem with it!  WOOT

Older than Methuselah...

Well, I have been pondering over scriptures.   UGH.   Have you ever been reading along...or after reading, pondering about what you have read and your mind wanders...instead of ponders?   Here is an example.   I haven't been able to sleep lately...I seem to hate night time for some reason and when I go to bed I lay there...praying, thinking, fretting, working in my mind, and doing everything but relaxing.   I will stay up late...or early in the morning doing things and get pretty tired and go to bed and still can't sleep...so last evening...I went to bed...actually this morning at 2:38am...I had been looking at some books and got so tired I had to put them down...went to bed and lay there for 2 hours thinking of everything and couldn't shut my mind off...so I got up.    I have been thinking...how long can I not sleep?   How many hours can I go before I have a heart attack or something from lack of sleep?  
Now back to Methuselah...Did you know or remember Methuselah was the son of Enoch?   Enoch, the one who he and his righteous city, which was so righteous, was taken up to heaven.   Well, Methuselah was not taken!!!!!  Can you imagine being righteous and everyone goes except you...or maybe others but they took your dad...your whole city and not you!   Well, he is the  granddad of Noah.   If he hadn't been on this earth the whole Noah and the Ark wouldn't have been...So, I thought a bit about that...hmmmm.
Anywho...so I was thinking about Methuselah and wondering how much he didn't sleep?   Going back to my lack of sleep.   Do you know he lived to be 969 years old.   Now we think someone who lives to be 100 is old!!!!!!   Can you imagine Willard Scott on the morning show announcing..."And today near Canaan is Methuselah who is 969 years old today!!!!!!!!"  WOW!!!
Now that would get you on Good Morning America...if you could move to get there...
So I digress:  there is a point to this and it is this...    If Methuselah averaged just 6 hours of sleep a day for his 969 years...he slept 242.25 years!    I am telling you!
So this is the way I ponder my scripture reading!  I guess I need to try something new!
Hope all of you have a great day...and even if we oversleep a bit we will NEVER beat Methuselah's sleep record...or for that matter his age at death!

Sheep shearing time!

I am getting my hairs cut!!!   WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I thought I wouldn't look like a total dork I would just shave it all off and start over...the only problem is...then I would know just how much white and gray I have in it!  UGH!     Hahaha.      Can't wait!!!!
Ok, so I have lost my PICTURE IT software...I did the best I could...haha.  

Well, another Independence Day has come and gone.   We are still here and safe because of all of our soldiers and bright minds keeping us that way.   I am so thankful to live in a country such as ours.   I LOVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we were going to go and celebrate the 4th with Shawna and her family and Jeff's mom and Wayne.    The plans were cancelled, however, not before Jeff had made his #1, awesome, totally wonderful mexican dip!   It was once again superb.  We had it for lunch and then for dinner...haha.   I LOVE IT!   It is quite good for a person with all the veggies and fiber in it.   We eat it with tortilla chips.   YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thanks so much Jeff for a wonderful Independence Day!!!  Jeff's mom came over later in the day and we watched some of the tributes on tv...we also watched some of our favorite OLD sit coms on tv.  HAHA.   We laughed.  We had a good time.  

Jeff had to go back to work today.  I miss him.   Time just keeps going on.   It is like the ball is in motion and can't be slowed down.    

God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      LAND THAT I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
