Craving Girl Time



Have some fun family time together.

The girls in our household are outnumbered 2 to 4, so there is a lot of testosterone around here, and bad guy smell.  It can and will permeate anything.  The boys will all disagree about the numbers being uneven because both of our dogs are female.  That gets a big 'whatever'.  I am very blessed with all my children, but am very happy to have a daughter so I can have a little bit of girl time every once and a while.

It's been a boy heavy spring with lacrosse almost every day of the week, so I was needing some time with Miss Priss.  The children didn't have school because it was an inclement weather make-up day.  (today it a year since the violent outbreak of tornadoes in my state.  it was a scary day!)  Hopson & I decided it was a great day to take the children out to lunch to celebrate everything they've done this year & then I knew Elizabeth & I could go get a pedicure together.  It's one of our favorite things to do.  It's nice to have someone rub on your feet.  I always feel happy when I leave & the owners are so sweet. 

Elizabeth & I had to wait a little while for our pedicures because they were packed, but it was so worth it.  My feet needed pampering after logging in so many miles a day.  We both left feeling refreshed and relaxed.  It was a fun way to spend a few hours.  Tomorrow and Sunday we have more lacrosse with the tournament starting next week.  This spring has flown, but it's been a fun one even if E & I have to wait a little while to get our girl time. 

Celebrating Life!

A Little Bone to Pick

I have a little bone to pick with Team USA.  Hey y'all, will you please sing our national anthem when you win the gold medal?  I mean, you're standing there on the top level of the podium; the gold medal is hanging around your neck; our flag is being raised above all others; our national anthem is the one being played; and you are just standing there.  You are a citizen of the greatest country in the world.  Sing, please sing.  If you're not going to sing, then I want you smiling and/or crying like crazy. I can't even imagine all the work you have done to get to the point where you are now.  All the years of training, and forgoing a 'regular life' to pursue your dream.  I'm just a random mom from Alabama, but my patriotism is deep.  When you medal, we all medal.  We love your spirit, love it when you recognize your competitors, and love your sportsmanship.  Remember that there are hundred of thousands of little children watching you and wanting to be j

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with them.
