Dancing with a Dirty Chicken in a Vintage Prom Dress

I know that title is crazy but this week has been a crazy week!! My sweet Samuel turned 8 this week! It is amazing how time flies. You think that baby will never get here and then you turn around and the baby is 8!! We had a great dinner at Hot Rod's Diner in Maryville. Check it out for an awesome hamburger!!

But the Dirty chicken story is from Walmart. As I was trying to get a rotisserie chicken from the HOT counter, bam, the bottom fell out, and the chicken rolled into my buggy. Juice is everywhere. I pick it up by the leg, off it falls, try the other leg, off it falls, then just roll the body into the container and think, NOW WHAT!! So I walk back up to the door greeter, who proceeds to ask me, Ma'm, do you want the chicken?? I was like no, it is dirty chicken!! It was on that buggy!! So he says, I think you will have to go to Customer Service. Don't know if they will beleive me!!, Uh, okay, so he escorts me to customer service, the manager says, Ma'm do you want the chicken?? I am like about to scream, I don't want your funky buggy chicken!! But I remain calm as all good Southern ladies should and say, I just wanted that mess cleaned up and you to THROW AWAY THE DIRTY CHICKEN!! Ha!! Of course the fact I had on my hot pink Roos, makes me think I am probably on you tube somewhere, dancing with that dirty chicken.

Which brings me to the vintage prom dresses, if you have any from the 80s, Jessica McClintock, Gunne Sax, bubble bottoms, check out ebay. I found some beauties this week and have them listed. We'll see if they are woo hoos or boo boos. Here is one of my favorites!!

Have a great week, no school for the kiddos tomorrow so lots of fun to be had!! I will post my Sunday Woo Hoos tomorrow!!

An Awesome Week Here even though one little Chick had the FLU!!

Okay, Did you hear me whooping for joy over here this week?? On Thursday, my dear Max who is on the autism spectrum, read 5 sentences to me. Then he read those 5 sentences to Andrew. We were cheering, crying, so excited!! Max was excited too. He knew we were so proud of him!! This is an answer to prayer and we give God the praise!! We are just unlocking that little angel!! Thanks for all that have prayed for our Max and keep em coming!!

Then I sold something crazy on ebay!! Are you ready, I am telling you, anything can sell on ebay!! I sold this doll, which is a My Disney Girl but her arm broke off!! She was a yard sale find that ML carried around for a while then one day, off with her arm!! So I thought, hmm, I can't fix her but somebody else may want a one-armed doll!! So she sold for............

12 bucks!!

I was very excited!! This doll was taking up room in my ebay bin!! Now this week, I have lots of Mary Lauren's clothes listed, and the bids are a coming! The mommies will pay big bucks for smocked dresses!! Hope to have some whoo hoos tomorrow night!

Have a great day at the Lord's house tomorrow, if you don't have a church home, we would love to see you at East Maryville Baptist Church, services start at 1015!! You will be blessed!!

Where have I been?? Battling the Flu B!!

Well Flu B struck my house, I have one down with it. Hopefully, it is going to be the only one. Mary Lauren has been a great little trooper. However, I missed out on my thrifting on Tuesday, it is like an addiction!! Ha!! I did sell the coordinating FIRE KING cups and Saucers!! So I was very excited about that. Plus my hubby was glad to see that stuff go, go , go!! So keep your eyes open for Jadite Fire King dishes. They have a nice resell value!! I will get back to posting daily once my peep is all well!! The little chicky needs lots of love and we have been using the Lysol!!

Smurfette and Brainy Smurf, Kids Sheet Sets, will show you the money!!

La, La, lalalala, La, la la, la la, Theme song from the Smurfs

Oh yeah, one happy mommy over here. Sold a pair of twin smurf sheets for 60 bucks!! Yippeee!! If you loved Smurfette as a girl, or Brainy Smurf, get those babies listed!! It is nice to wake up from a nap on this cold Saturday to a sell. Did I make money while I was sleeping?? Yep!!

The King..Thank you thank you very much FIRE KING that is!!

Okay after the crazy week we had here, I am super excited about this sell I just had on Ebay!! If you ever see these jadite green dishes, don't pass on them. There is a following for them. I had bought these at the 411 yard sale a couple of years ago. I was going to sell them, then I would keep them, etc. Well I decided they are living in the basement, I am not going to let my kids eat on them!! So I listed them this week, had a buyer say hey I will give you 30 more than you have them listed, oh sweet!! So these lovely dishes sold for..................

150 bucks!!!

So even though my head is pounding tonight, it was a  WOO HOO for me!!

Love it when this happens!!

You know you are stressed WHEN>>>>>

You Know you are Stressed WHEN....

you look down at 12:00 p.m. and your pants are on inside out!! Needless to say, we had a wild night yesterday. Hot water heater died, water went all over the place, had an aussie over cleaning the mess up, realized renting fans is VERY expensive, then realized no HOT water. So plumber to the rescue but he didn't get here til 11!! So as he was here, I looked down and thought, okay I am really stressed, I have my pants on inside out!! Ha, wonder if plumber noticed. Hey he did fix my toilet too for a mere 8 bucks. Sweet, always ask while they are there, he didn't charge any extra to do it. So we now have a Nice New 50 gallon hot water heater that is made in the USA!! Samuel will be so happy, he doesn't understand why most of the stuff we get says Made in China, in fact last night he was waving a little American flag and he says, Mommy, why does this say Made in China? Aussie guy says, good question Mate!! Ha!! Well, we have to keep smiling because things could be a lot worse and hey it was clean water on my carpet and we are all fine!! Just another crazy day in Lewis Land!!
