hoarder in training

my garage is moments away from being declared a national emergency site and yet I managed 3 bags of trash in less than a 1/2 hour this morning! Imagine what I could do with a whole hour? Ah who knows it's coffee and catch up on my DVR time now

my new favorite word

or rather slang would be bougie
no idea why but niece #1 & niece #2 use it frequently and for some reason it has struck my fancy this week

what is up with all the April birthdays?

always popular in my family growing up we would celebrate my brother, father, grandmother, grandfather & an uncle's birthday all on one day of course with all those names to fit a large cake was required. With the advent of facebook and the tab that let's me know when folks have a birthday I am amazed at the amount of people I know with April birthdays which would make conception what in the summer months? Would have thought more babies would be conceived during colder months.

grammer 101

I have no problems with they're & their however when we get affect & effect I'm lost. I am also incapable of spelling restaurant with out spell check.

the town crier

twice in the last week I was asked how I was feeling as I had been sick, these were folks I do not know well enough to have told about any kind of sickness. I had a day where I had eaten something that did not particularly agree we me and we will leave it at that. Evidently MIL had been sharing my ailment to what detail I have no idea and I do not want to know.

the bendy straw

growing up that was the standard of sickness. You would get ginger ale with a bendy straw that was the only time you would have access to bendy straw at the house so of course same goes in my household. In spite of current circumstances we really do not have much cause for the use of bendy straws but we always seemed to have several boxes on hand just in case, in case of what I am not sure but with the near constant weird medical oddities David has suffered recently we have almost exhausted our bendy straw supplies, guess I'll need to add that to this week's grocery list and here is to hoping they will sit in a kitchen cupboard unopened & unneeded for quite some time!

probably not very PC of me me but

I am particularly cranky today, overly cranky& it would seem and lot is getting under my skin a lot that should probably not. So very cranky that I even had to stop and asked my self good grief is it PMS?

early warning system

at 4:21ish this morning I got woken up with the news that C heard a train sound and was that a tornado so should we all pile into the bathroom....however this train sound was indeed um just a train we live close enough to to tracks to hear trains all the time. Thanks to my my budding meteorologist for looking out for us!

"good idea Mom"

why thanks C I was really looking for that affirmation from you...but guess what I knew it was a good idea when I said it and even if you didn't agree you were still gonna have to do it whatever it was I asked you to do

travels with a toddler

Niece #1 and her 2 yr old son are hopping a plane to Kville this week and it had me remembering travelling with C as a toddler. I should preface with he has always been a pretty good traveller thank God but he had a moment or two that gave me fits way back when. Now that I think about it it the only issues we had were a trip to CT when he was 3. David (who was staying at home and working while we went to see my folks) for some unknown at this time reason booked my flight for me it was booked such that I had one half hour to change planes in Atlanta..um yeah that would be 30 minutes..have you ever changed planes in ATL?! of course you have everything changes in ATL and I stand by my assertion that when you die you go through in ATL. Let me tell you dragging a rather large 3 year old toddler who was a little cranky through any airport is gonna be a challenge. We barely made our flight & I believe I cursed my husband the entire way to CT. The return trip involved a two hour car trip to the airport so invariably C fell asleep when we arrived a the airport he was cranky, crying, hanging off my shirt tales so to speak, I check our luggage and dude informs me that our bag is overweight. Through clenched teeth I told him to just damn charge me the difference and sensing that I might just snap he kindly put the bag through with no charge
