In the Land of Teenager: Another True Story

6:15 am…sleeping like a stone warm and snug in my bed.

There is a small tap on my shoulder…

“Mom I need you to sign something.” and then she turns and walks back out into the livingroom.

I get out of bed and she is sitting at the computer looking at homecomming dresses on the internet. She hands me the slip of paper and I ask,

“What am I signing?”

“It’s my Language Arts grade.”

I forgot to put on my glasses so I can’t see the grade…

“What is it?”

“A 91”

I sign the paper and then head back to bed and she then asks me,

“Mom if I can find a really inexpensive dress online can we get it?”

It is now 6:17 am and I am standing there looking at her wondering why she did not just bring the slip of paper into me in my room, then I wonder why I did not have the presence of mind to tell her to bring the slip of paper into me in my room so I did not have to get out of bed and NOW at 6:17 am she is asking me about homecoming dresses…..which I all ready told her I was not buying her another one…

REALLY?

Could I get back to sleep…

That would be NO!

And she used the last of the coffee creamer and then put the empty bottle back in the refrigerator instead of getting a new bottle out of the refrigerator in the garage…

AND I do not have Muffinhead this morning and was looking forward to sleeping in…

Good Morning Y’all!

I hope she's not too bothered about the dent in her head from where you threw your coffee mug at her.

Just kidding :)

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
