My Life as Mama Jodi

Two Little Boys

After a hardy rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys, a
young mother watched her two little boys playing in the puddle through her
kitchen window.

The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of
his head and shoved his face into the water hole. As the boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother runs to the yard in a panic.

“Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!” She asks as she shook
the older boy in anger.

“We were just playing church mommy,” he said, “And I was just baptizing
him…..in the name of the Father, the Son and in…the hole-he-goes!”

It’s that time a week again! Know and Tell Friday. Here are the questions!

1. Why were you given your particular name? My mom liked the show “Family Affair”, and liked the little boys name “Jody” and decided right there that would be my name, but with an “i” (she was preggo with me at the time).

2. What’s your favorite song of the moment? “Amazing Grace” by Chris Tomiln

3. What are you wearing today which is most reflective of who you are? uhhh… I am still in my pj’s, so I guess, “comfy”.

4. Have you ever had a pet that was not a cat or dog? What was it? a goldfish, but not for long, they always died.

5. What type of exercise do you do to keep in shape? Ha! Me and exercise don’t really get along! But when I do exercise, its either walking or riding bikes.

6. What is your favorite movie of all time? “Beaches”

7. Do you enjoy gardening, or working with flowers? I do, I wish I had a bigger back yard so I could have a garden! But for now I am happy to have a little area for my flowers.

If gas prices weren’t so high, I would see about getting a car rental and taking a trip to see my cousin in Alabama. Cars start out at $20.99 a day through August 31. You can also get 50% off on Luxury and Convertible car rentals. It would be fun to drive with the top down. I could get some cool pictures with no windows in my way! Oh what fun!  I need to see if we could actually swing this with our budget.  I haven’t been down to see Ginger since Trent was 6!  It has been way to long!

If you use Internet Explorer, my blog won’t work for you. It will freeze up your computer for some reason or another. I have no idea why. So if this has happened to you in the past, I am so very sorry!

I do know that it works just fine using Mozilla, so why not download this internet browser instead??

Wow, hot tub covers have come a long way! You can now get them with some gorgeous scenes to whisk you away to some tropical setting if you wish! We have been looking at houses, and a few we like have hot tubs, so this cover would come in very handy!

Isn’t that a beautiful scene? It would be so nice to sit in the tub and relax after a hard day at work, and just stare at the sunset, ahhh. I now have added as a “must have” in our next home purchase, a hot tub!

These scenes are trim to fit, and can be installed in about an hour. You don’t need any special tools for this either, so that would make my hubby very happy.   It is waterproof and has a high chemical resistance, so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined if it gets wet!  The price is right too!

So if you own a hot tub and want to add one of these gorgeous scenes, then head on over to spascenes.com and pick out the one scene you have to have!!

Happy Hot Tubbing!

I wish John and I had a lot of money, so I could look into getting some commercial real estate to open up my own photography studio. This has been a dream of mine for so long. I love taking pictures, and would love to have my own area, so I could even possibly develop my own photos. I am always browsing sites to see if there are classes available in my area to learn more about photography. One of these days I will have my dream job! Just wish it would be sooner than later!

My partner in crime, Kellie and I are looking at ways we can promote our mom board, that won’t break us. I think we should look into getting some promotional products with our website on it and hand them out at various outings we attend. I think it would be a big hit! There are so many things we want to do with our board, but just need to have a sit down and work things out and get the ball rolling!

I so could have used some adult diapers the other day when I was out with Robyn! Cohen, her son was his usual self, to where he gets you laughing so hard, and of course my bladder muscles aren’t what they used to be, and I have that lovely problem of leaking just a little when I laugh hard or sneeze. Of course I had to head back to the back of the store quickly so I could use the restroom. What I would have given to have an adult diaper at that moment!!

We might possible have to get a new roof before we have to sell, so I have been looking into different options. One being metal roofing, as you can see in the picture it actually looks like regular shingles. This website says that the installation is much easier than the old shingles and would last a lifetime with regular maintenance. This would be great for all home owners! I am going to have to talk to John about this some more!

Yesterday we got some papers on John’s life insurance to look over and make any changes and resubmit. All of it was confusing to me, so I am leaving it up to him to fill out. I am just going to have to keep on him, as knowing him, he will set it aside and then forget all about it.  He has one week to get it done.  Wish me luck!
