It was so easy

I am sooo excited!

I finally found five minutes to create a signature!
Thank you, thank you Sasha!

The world according to 6 year olds

Today in Sunday school we were singing "Jesus loves Me". One little boy piped up,"I hate that song!"
Yikes! We kept on singing as he plugged his ears with his fingers.

He "hated" everything that we did today. Every story, every art project, every song. Everything.

Later, during project time, we were all talking about which school everyone attended. By far, they all went to public schools. (We are blessed with a fabulous school system!) "Ear plugger" let us all know that he goes to a Christian school so that he is around only "good kids".

It seems the Christian education hasn't soaked in yet.

I've got a lot of work to do...

No, you didn't??!?

Standing in line today, trying to buy a new grill at Lowe's, I was accosted by a Russian Grandma.
I am not just saying that she screamed at me to "Buy something or get out of the way!" She didn't just use the huge trash can, that she wanted to purchase, to push me out of the way. She started cussing at me, in a foreign language, in front of my children and all the workers.
I have never been so mad or shocked in my life!

Paint boy came to defend my honor and all he got was an earful of Russian old people, who left with a parting shot of, "You a f'ing redneck!"

He said I should have punched her, but I couldn't hit a grandma. Even an evil one.

The best sweet tea!

Once upon a time Sasha told me about some sweet tea that I thought I should try. After an exhaustive search and no luck, I discovered that it was no longer distributed in GA.

I was so very sad not being able to consume my favorite beverage in alcohol form.

Well, what did my big 'ol eyes spot today???


FIREFLY Sweet Tea Vodka!

Firefly Vodka currently distributes to South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, Kentucky, and New York.

If you live in one of these states, run, don't walk to the closest store and pick up a bottle. Don't forget the lemonade, it makes a perfect mixer.

I am sitting here, sipping out of my tervis and everything is right with the world.

Teresa redo

Do you remember my issues with Teresa at the local Mexican place? Paint boy and I eat there about every 2 weeks. Teresa has not been our server since the dreaded night earlier this summer. Well tonight all that changed...

Do you know that she wanted to confirm my order again tonight, tapping the menu and all? Steak burrito, I even pointed at the picture.

Cheese quesadilla? Yep, wanted confirmation on that too. I guess that's a hard one and people send them back if she doesn't tap the menu.

I need my personal space with my Mexican servers.

I'll request Tony next time, he knows how I like my margaritas.

Daddy Drama

Today was Nana Judy's day to pick up J from school, but since Nana is in Boston visiting my Uncle Minister; Paint boy had to do 2 days in a row. (I work late on Tuesday and Wednesday, which gives me a 3 day weekend.)

When it's Daddy's day, I am often regaled with "WWF on Play station" stories. Today, they played for so long that their hands were getting tired. Paint boy finally pinned J and all heck broke loose. J does NOT like to lose. AT ALL.

J-screaming- I am so mad at you. GRRRRRRRR ( he growls when angry)

Pb- Sorry, buddy. We can play again.

J-Screaming- I really want to call you a bad name, but I am going to get in BIG trouble if I do.

Pb- A BAD name?

J-still screaming- Yeah, a "fire in the mouth" kind of name.

Pb- That bad? Wow, I guess you are on restriction for a week for talk like that.

J- WHAT??!!?? I didn't even say it.

Pb- But you thought it, so one week.

J- crying and walking to his room- I should have said it then...

Rain, rain, go away...

It is raining and has been for 2 days. It was overcast and yucky for several days before that. I live in the South, we are in a drought and do not have weather like this. Thank you Fay.

I decided that my mood needed a little brightening up. Kelly green will go a long way in making me smile. This is me today-

Kelly green shrug and white tee from Ann Taylor Loft

Navy ruffle skirt from Target

Green patent leather-ish flats from Payless

I am going to be happy despite the weather!How can you be sad in green patent-ish flats?

Y'all have a great day and stay dry.
