I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

The Cushy Tushy!!

Mommy decided that it was time to really try and potty train Hailey, so we hopped in the car and headed to Wal-Mart. What we found is 'The Cushy Tushy!' When we got home and set it up Hailey got on and sat, and sat, and sat. She sat on it from about 2:30 - 6:00, and never went even a drop. By that time she was pretty sick of sitting and wanted to get off but I wouldn't let her. She looked up and me, with a scowl, and said very matter of fact, 'Take it back to the store.' And I said, 'Don't you want a treat?' And she said, 'No, take it back to the store!' I couldn't believe it! But... we didn't give up and finally, at about 9:30 that night, she went! Boy was she proud!! *I love you Hailey, I'm so proud of you!
