Ever wonder.....

Since I'll be gone for the next week, I thought that I would leave you all with something that would leave a smile on your face!


Only in America.....do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.


EVER WONDER ...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

6 more days...

We only have 6 more days until we leave for Texas! Woo-hoo!! We are going to be taking off when the kids get out of school Friday. It's a 16-18 hour drive - Wahh! We've only been there once before and we flew, so with my kids, this will be an adventure. Last spring when we went to Florida, it was over 20 hours and they didn't do too bad - so let's pray and hope!! My best friend, Brandi, has lived there for nine years now - I can't wait to see her and have a whole week with them. I've known Brandi's husband Aaron for a long time too - as a matter of fact - I'm the one who introduced them back when we were 15 & 16. Just call me the match maker!! Okay the chemistry was all them but I do believe that I played an important role in the outcome. They have two daughters, Belle & Sami. Belle is so hyped about the boys coming - she is a female Asher - needless to say they get along 'really' well. Aaron's family all live there too! I'm anxious to see his sister, Christine, she and I have been friends since high school, we actually graduated together from a private school - just her and me - she was the valedictorian and of course that left me with the 2nd place, salutatorian. Anyway, whenever we get together we call it our high school reunion. She now has twin little girls, they are so cute! I'll post after we get back and will try to post some picks too! My kids are stoked!

Saturday night we might go with them to a Def Lepord concert - yeah - I know! The good ole days. Anyway, Bryan has been looking around at the Good Will for tight jeans or leather pants. He is going to wear a tight t-shirt, a suit vest, a cross dangling earing, and to top it off a mullet wig. That's my man! We aren't going to let them know of course - he's just going to come out of the bathroom and say,'Let's rock and roll!' with his taking hanging out! I'll laugh if he goes to all of that work and we end up not going! Bryan is odd - but that's why I love him!

Freedom....

FREEDOM!!!! This is the first time ever that all three of my children have been full time at school. I love it! My husband and I went out to breakfast this morning and we didn't have to rush back home to pick up a preschooler. They grow so fast. This is also the only time that all three of my children will be at the same school at the same time. Asher started kindergarten, Wil is in the second grade, and Saige is in his last year at Elementary - fifth grade. This morning Asher was so excited that he was running into the school and with the rain the ground and floors were wet and he biffed it. Poor kid! Of course that didn't stop him, Bryan couldn't find him after they entered the school and someone said that he ran to his class. He's ready to go! I remember the days that I loved going to school, that ended quickly, I think by middle school, I hope my kids always love school. Saige is following in my footsteps though, this morning he was depressed about going and then added with a sigh, "Yeah, and if I go to college I still have another eleven years until I'm done." Of course my response was, "What do you mean if?"

Last week Bryan's brother Scott and his family (Tara & Eli) were here visiting us from Georgia. By February he should be out of the army and they are going to be moving here to live. I can't wait, Bryan & Scott are the best of friends and I've never seen either one of them ever connect to someone else like they do. I hope my boys grow to have a brother bond like that. Scott's wife, Tara, and I get along great, she is such a sweetheart! It's weird because there are quite of few similarities between our personalities, but still quite a few differences to keep us individuals. I can't tell you how many times last week I was called Tara and Tara called Sara. Our husbands were the worst!!! Their son Eli is 15 months and boy is he a cutie! He loves his Uncle Bryan, he's always going to him. We were in Georgia a few weeks ago and Eli still remembered him. It will be great though when they move here, we're so excited.
Iwont' say when I'll post again....it always gets me into trouble!!!
