Monday, May 25, 2009 at 9:51PM For this Memorial Day Weekend, my mom and I decided to take all the kids out the Sacramento County Fair. This might very well have been the best family outing we have ever had. The weather was great, the food was as good as deep fried greasy bits of goodness that Fair can get and everyone had a blast. We actually had a day without whining, yes...dear Lord...
Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 9:18PM So...we adopted a kitten. Yes, my son named her S15 Silvia, The Drifting Queen. That is the most bizarre name for a kitten that I have ever heard, but whatever does it for ya. I will call her 'Silvy' for short, and so people don't look at me funny when I call her name.
Friday, May 22, 2009 at 6:35PM The good thing about teenagers getting their Drivers Licenses is that they can run errands for you. The bad thing is (when you have a car loving boy, at least) that they take over what used to be your garage and turn it into a grease monkey haven for wayward boys. Sigh...
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:19PM As many of you know, I am a single mom (I hate that term, sounds pathetic somehow) my son just turned 20 - yikes!! I also have been very involved in raising 4 of my brothers kids. Zachary is 15, I got him when he was 18 months old. Mason is 8, we got him when he was 2 months old and the twins which we got at their premature birth, are Alexis and Alekzander or Lexie and Zander, cuz it's just too easy to mix them up otherwise.
Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 10:23PM After a long day of work and a long evening of working the internet, I treated myself to a Wendy's Frosty. On the cup it says...and I quote "It's impossible to frown while eating a Frosty." That sounded more like a challenge than a quote to me. I powered down the rich, choclately, velvety smooth frozen nectar of the Gods. I can't recall if I frowned while enjoyingmy treat...I may have blacked out from brain freeze or a sugar rush. It was chocolate nirvana. Do you ever notice that at times chocolate tastes great, like chocolate should...but then there are other times when chocolate just does it for you? It is just me? They say chocolate is a good substitute for sex, except you can't have so much sex that you over indulge yourself until you feel sick to your stomach and nauseated until you get to the point where you just don't want to even look at another piece of chocolate ate ever, ever again. Oh...wait...OK, it's like having sex with a one night stand that you regret in the morning, I get it now.
