Carpooling & Orange cones
Everyday I drop off & pick up my child at school. They have large, bright orange cones set out in a special pattern for carpoolers’ to follow (so us ding-dong, mothers in the giant vehicles, don’t hit a kid) doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. But somehow every single day, the orange cones are spread…
My Son’s BIG mistake
I was doing a few things around the house and I asked my son to grab the laundry, he had already finished his daily chore, but usually when I ask either child to grab this or do that ( extra, small tasks) it’s expected to be done. So this afternoon, I asked Logan to grab a few items from the dryer,…
WHY, 9 minute snooze?
I was setting my daughter’s alarm clock & she asked about changing the snooze setting, I said you can’t its 9 minutes, they all are, then that got me thinking. Why 9 minutes, that’s unusual, I will research and blog about it, that’s highly important info, that’s probably on everyone’s mind, LOL: All of this information was found on WWW.straightdope.com Consulted…

My son’s Magic
My son was on the internet looking up magic tricks for a good part of the afternoon, then showing anyone who would watch, not many people watched- haha, just kidding, that would be horribly bad parenting on my part, & I wouldn’t admit to that, another joke. He was showing me the disappearing penny trick, the pick a…
Middle School’s haunted bathroom stall!
My son told me a tale of a murder about forty years ago, of a disliked teacher killed by his students in the boys bathroom stall at his middle school & dragged out an hid under the football stadium. I said tale~ because I also went to this school when I was younger and I’ve never heard this story,…

Tip of the day! Halloween
14 tips to keep your kids safe and happy on Halloween. 1- Wear make-up instead of a mask. A mask cuts off your vision and prevents you from seeing cars.

Plumber & Paw paw “I’ll take one for the team!”
The plumber was visiting my dads house a few years ago. Regular occurrence in the neighborhood because it was built around Pecan orchards. I was over visiting, no big surprise.

It all started with the Eye Doctor!
Image via Wikipedia The day began so normal, even for me. I had a eye exam and my parents & I were going to fit some flu shots in at our doctor down the street, so they decided to drive me, since my eyes were being dilated. They picked me up 20 minutes before the appointment, I realized on the way there,…

Sewage Survivor!
One day my brother, hubby & I were at Stoner Park bike riding. It was a great day till I yelled out “Come on slow pokes” and rode ahead, right into a giant puddle of sewage that stopped me in my tracks. It flew all in my mouth, hair, socks & shoes & all over my bike. I literally…

Paw paw & his albino opossum (Y’all that’s possum’ for us southern folk)

He doesn’t realize it, but after he’s fallen…
Politically correct, to the EXTREME!
Don’t you feel this world is becoming to politically correct? What happened to our first amendment right, freedom of speech, our own speech.
