Some Serious Shopping

Today my mother in law, sister in law, niece, daughter and myself spent the ENTIRE day shopping in Canton! How much fun did we have? The girls were a hoot. We found so many cute things for the kids. We found a couple of items for Janice's new house. (which was actually our excuse for going and ironically we only bought a trash can and some antlers LOL !) But what I really wanted to share was chaos that ensued at the "Scratch and Dent" sale of a local retailer. The post card informed us that it started at 5. They were not going to let AnYoNe into that section of the store until 5:00:00. When we got there approx 15 minutes early we found a line (or 3) of some SERIOUS shoppers. I mean these ladies had lists with room measurements, items, names and more. They were armed with bottles of water, tape measures, designated seekers, carriers, and loot watchers. They meant business!! My sister in law jokingly said, "Maybe we should go and get a buggy. Do you think that they have one with spikes?" LOL! When the gatekeeper removed the barricade, they were off. We entered leisurely and walked around perusing in between the ladies I could only illustrate as a mad bee colony in the spring. I stumbled upon a cute little mirrored table that would make a cute nightstand. It had a nick in the mirror so I am thinking this has to be a great deal. I am bent OVER this table looking for the price tag and this lady walks up beside me. She is also bent over near the table, then she picks it up. I kindly say, "Oh, did you find the price tag?" She mutters something under her breath as she walks off with MY table. Well it obviously wasn't meant to be. A funny story it makes though. I wasn't the only victim of the lady I have deemed the "ShopZilla". I overheard some others talking about an easel that was removed from their buggy. Oh, I couldn't help but laugh. But I bear hugged my stool until I got it safely to the car. And maybe that Demolition Derby style shopping cart wasn't such a bad idea after all Janice!

Here we go.....

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before I started this so here goes.......

Why LoVeBuGs? All my babies are some sort of bug..Ladybugs, Doodlebugs, Squirmybugs.....

I am a mother, wife, friend, sibling, daughter and so much more. I have loved, lost, fought, fallen, risen, rejoiced and so much more. I love to share and so I shall.

Currently we are living in Lindale. We being myself, my husband Jeremy and my daughter Burkelyn. Peyton my oldest has chosen to live with his dad (for now). Lincoln my sweet baby boy, is waiting on us in Heaven.

Mostly our days now are consumed with packing, unpacking, arranging, cleaning and other moving chores. Our move was prompted by the passing of our son Lincoln Garyt. But that is a subject that warrants its own post. So we are living in a cute little neighborhood that I am truly enjoying thus far. It never hurts when you move 40 minutes closer to your best friend!

Burkelyn and I fit in the occasional "Story Time" at the library. Of course we CANNOT miss dance classes on Wednesday. Then there is the tried and true mother daughter bonding I like to call "retail therapy". An afternoon at Target is always good for one's soul!

Well, I have some boxes calling my name so I had better get off my rump. I hope to keep you interested and make you laugh when I can!! Talk soon, or should that be Post soon? Nat
