Spider

So Bayli had a golf lesson yesterday which meant that I sat and watched, waited, read some of my book, had to tie a lasso, got lassoed, etc. etc. Normal golf lesson watching stuff. Oh you guys don't get lassoed while at a golf course? Well you need to come out to Tennessee Hills Golf Course in Pikeville, Tennessee and get lassoed! We go to church with the owners and their little boy is all boy and was in the lassoing (sp?) mood yesterday. I said whatever just don't hit my nose. Anyway I have digressed. Fast forward to lesson over and we are now in the car going home. Bayli is very scared of spiders and bugs FYI. She says "MOM YOU HAVE A SPIDER ON YOUR HEAD!!!!!!". I said "So, knock it off." She reaches over while I am driving flips my visor down and slides open the mirror. ????? Really? Meanwhile the spider could have eaten my face off, but ok. I said "Bay I can't use the mirror while driving so I said get it off my head or something to the effect of just knock it off my head." I guess the tone got it across to her and she knocked me in the head and then yells because the spider has went under the center console only to reappear a few minutes later when I became world's worst mom and forced her to smush it by herself. She'll be better off for it or in therapy. Either way she's a winner.

Post surgery update

It's been a while since I posted last. It has been a busy summer and then I had to have surgery on my nose for 3 defects. So looking forward to being able to breathe again!! Bayli told the youth group and who knows else that I was having a nose job. She thought it was hilarious, which it is, and now I don't know how many people that don't really know me think I actually had a nose job. Oh well, there are worse things. She also saw me asleep on the couch and told Lealan that I look so tiny without my attitude. Where does she get this stuff. I ain't got an attitude! :) Not a bad one anyways. It's just seems that when you're my size you have to be a little aggressive to be heard, believed, not taken for granted, pushed around, blah blah blah. I just make my wants and needs heard gently.

April Fools

Yeah I know I am behind, but it's been crazy with golf and everything. Bayli played a great joke on Lealan that I knew nothing about. She was very sneaky. He was getting home after we left that day so before we left she set him up. She taped the sprayer nozzle on the sink down so that when he went to wash his hands it would soak him with water. However, instead of a rubberband she used clear tape so it would be hard to detect. Sometimes she makes me so proud! Well I knew nothing of this and that morning my cell phone died so when I went to leave work I plugged it in the car and a voice mail came through from Lealan stating "Tell YOUR daughter I'm gonna kill her." and then a text message from Bayli asking if dad liked her surprises. I have no idea what is going on and I get to Linda's to pick her up and she is so excited. When we get home Lealan says he went to wash his hands and turned the water on and it sprayed all over him and that he jumped out of the way like that would turn it off. He said it sprayed everywhere since he had a hard time figuring out what was happening since our very clever daughter used clear tape. He said he couldn't be mad at her because it is something he would have done himself.

Me and my girl

That's my baby girl on the right. :( It's bitter sweet that she is growing up so fast. She is now within 2 inches of being the same height as me and LOVES it. She is all the time coming off with some midget or short joke to which I reply that she shouldn't make those because she is shorter than me. She laughs and replies that unlike me she is still growing. Really, how did I raise such a smart aleck child who relishes aggravating her mother. Oh, Bayli I am so not ready for you to grow up quite yet.

Strut your stuff!

Check out the fabulous Jessica Simpson heels I now proudly call my own! To unfortunately quote Paris Hilton "That's Hot". I love heels as you all know and these are some of the best I have ever owned. I have been looking through my closet just tryig to find clothes that I can wear my shoes with. I guess you could say I was starting from the bottom up dressing my self. You have to start somewhere, so why not with the shoes. They really make you strut your stuff and walk tall and proud. :)

Golf Cart

Yesterday was Bayli's 2nd golf match. They won their first match on Tuesday, which was a home match! Yeah go team! We traveled to Cleveland yesterday to play Cleveland and Spring City. They have a big ol' nice course and fancy smancy country club. THe kids very very impressed with the huge course, pool, tennis courts, monster club house considering ours is not so large or has the other amenities, but it is a good course and we appreciate them allowing the kids to practice there for free. The Dayton Golf & Country Club is very good to our kids. I believe we won the 2nd match as well. I do well to keep up with where the ball goes when the hit it much less score, rules, etc. etc. I rented a golf cart because we were only going to play 5 holes and that meant a long walk back for the kids with their clubs after already walking the holes they played. That way when they were through we could just pile them and their clubs on the cart and motor on back to the clubhouse. That was my intentions at least. Who knew that my golf cart would die on the 5th hole. My daughter found this hilarious. She was laughing and saying I broke the cart, wait til dad hears this, yadda yadda. Smart mouth kid. But when I pointed out that she was going to have to lug herself and all her effects back on foot she shushed up real quick:) Even with that happening we had a wonderful time. I am so glad she is enjoying playing, but I'm pretty sure the kids enjoyed Cici's Pizza just as much after the match as the actual match. When we left it was like a pizza graveyard. I'm pretty sure I saw a tumbleweed blow across the buffet.

Fore!

So after 4 days of golf tryouts Bayli made the Dayton City School golf team. She was so very excited and we were so proud. So from looking at the calendar they gave us we will either be practicing golf or playing matches everyday for the rest of my life. Well, maybe not the rest of my life, but at least for the next couple of months. That's okay though, she enjoys it and they will have a lot of fun. Who knows maybe she will continue to play through the rest of her school and maybe get a scholarship. That would be fantastic because college is EXPENSIVE and it looks like she may be going forever for her degree in forensic anthropolgy.
