Friday!! The last day of my kids' spring break. There is good news though. It's Friday Fragment day
In disturbing news, my young son saw "whiskers" in a woman's armpit, and it really upset him. I bet it upset her, too.
Unsettling news takes over: While I was in the hardware store, I bought some suet cakes for the birds and found one claiming to attract teen-agers. I wondered what kind of bird would attract teens and I actually bought it. After I got home, I realized it said Tanagers - which is apparently not a human, but a bird.
I might have missed Facebook afterall.
Unbelievably, I have grown 1.25 inches since I got married, and I most assuredly did not marry as a young woman.
And now a little love: When some of you got Blackberries, I didn't get the love you felt. Then some of you got IPhones, and the affection was still lost on me. My wonderful Checkered bought me an Android for my birthday, and now I get it. I am so in love!!
Have you seen the removable lettering scripture verses at Hobby Lobby? They are wonderful! Here are some from my parents' church. 
p>
I have two to put up in my house. Now the question is where???
And the final love: My sweet youngest child carefully planned and carried out an April Fool's Day joke. He removed the batteries from the t.v. remote control and hid them. He couldn't wait for everyone (especially Daddy) to get frustrated and start hitting the remote trying to get it to work. Unfortunately, he took the batteries out of the wrong remote and no one even noticed. After a frustrating day of no one noticing his trick, I caught on and beat the daylights out of the empty remote. He was thrilled at his grand success and is already planning next year's joke. I love being a mom!

I just wrote a brilliant, lengthy comment and then got a 404 'Not Found' error message.
My brilliance was apparently overestimated in my own eyeballs, so I'll just go back to my typical piddly comment.
Fun post (as usual), congrats on the Android (which I know nothing about), and happy Friday :)

Hi, I'm here from FF! I love your blog and your pictures are great! God Bless!
Love to have ya follow, fyi I am far from debt free, put chugging down on the debt trail! From FF
Even more unsettling would be if your son spied the whiskers on my chin. I cannot find my magnifying mirror since I moved;) And I love those scripture decals. I would put them in the place where I go to just be. Or try to meditate....I treasure that space.
I am here from FF. So glad to meet you.
Would you love to make some extra money?
I have a huge opportunity on my blog.
Please stop by and follow me back.

Awww, what a sweet joke, and I love being a mom too...sometimes ;)
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. I had the best time visiting you. You made me laugh and smile and that's a wonderful way to start the day!
I loathe armpit whiskers. ewwwww.
I cracked up about the bird food..you are so silly.
I think I am already shrinking.
I read the blackberry part 3 times. I thought you were talking about Berries. FRUIT.
Your kids are so funny...I wonder where they get it????
I was a day early and had pizza yesterday for lunch. And my wife pranked me for April fools. She texted me and said the FBI was at her office asking questions about a board member who got arrested. Since there actually was an arrest, I thought she was telling the truth, but alas, there never was any FBI actually at the office. I texted back and said to just answer the questions truthfully. She got me good.
I laughed out loud about the armpit stubble...ha!
Thanks for your humorous post.

Those pesky armpit whiskers. Just when you think you've gotten all of them, they mutate and grow from your chin and upper lip. Ghastly!

LOVE your musings! I will definately enjoy reading and following your blog!
Friendly Friday Love!

I'm thinking Armpit Whiskers would make a great title for a country song. Armpit Whispers, which was what I typed at first until I noticed the error, would too.
Happy Belated Birthday (assuming I missed it) or Happy Birthday to Be (assuming it's not here yet).
Be happy this comment is over (because I'm shutting up now, finally).
Stopping by from Friday Follow. Your post was great. Love the whiskers! Have a great weekend!

What a cute April Fool's joke, and what a nice mama you are to play along.
Now tell me, why on earth would you want to attract teenagers on PURPOSE??
Thanks for commenting on my blog. You mentioned that you followed me but I didn't see mine listed. Did I misunderstand?
The suet thing completely cracked me up! And don't you have teenagers? Why ever would you want to attract more? Haha.
You are a good mom for playing along with the remote joke!!
Thanks for stopping by! Oh that is priceless about the remote control, how sweet of you to play along. I may not have done the same.
OMG-That tanager fragment is the BEST!lolol I am going to make that my favorite this week, even though it took me two weeks to get to it!
