Award of Intention?? For Real? They Have Those?

How exciting!!

Now we can go ahead and just give the Dallas Cowboys their Super Bowl rings for the things they "intend" to do this season.

You know a sort of "call to action" award.

One Cool and Graceful Mom!

You try to be a "cool mom" for your 7th grader who is down on the field cheering on her fellow studly classmate football players!! You go to all the games, with HER NAME ALL OVER your shirt, so EVERYONE KNOWS who you are cheering for........you flash her hundreds of thumbs up from the stands because she is doing such an amazing job out there! She is the greatest!! and I want to be the coolest for her and never embarrass her in any way............................until I stand up in the bleachers and FALL THROUGH!!!

Darn!! Did anyone see that? Did anyone notice? ummmm......well, I was on the FRONT ROW with my child's name ON THE BACK OF MY SHIRT blinged all out in rhinestones!!!! Of course THEY SAW! I KNOW they saw, from all the GASPS I heard from above!! But, I did not hang around to see who all was up there...I ran (ok....ran, dragging my left leg behind)!!

I am almost 100% sure that I will NOT be "Daisy Duke" for Halloween this year!

Today is the Middle School Pep Rally...I gotta go strap into my stilettos and see what kind of trouble I can get into on the gym floor!! ;)

Call The Dr. Immediately!!

If you wake up and see this in the mirror!

Swine flu is on the rise...

WASH THOSE HANDS

and COUGH/SNEEZE INTO YOUR SLEEVE, NOT YOUR HAND!!!

Terror In The School Zone!

Riley phoned me the other day after getting to school asking me to bring her something that she had forgotten. "Not a problem, " I said. So I hopped in the car and went up to the middle school where school had already began and the roads and parking lots where completely deserted of all frantic parents trying to get their kids to school before the dreaded tardy bell let out it's early morning shrill.

The parking lot was completely deserted....so I thought.....I would later find out.......that one man who wears a yellow and orange jacket, holds a red STOP SIGN, and I'm almost certain wears a badge of some sort pinned on his lapel..somewhere, was still lurking!

As I turned into the parking lot, I opted for the closest spot to the front door and to get there I had to zip in through the EXIT ONLY route. After a complete assessment of the parking lot, reassuring myself that not a soul was in site, I went for it.

Proud that I had safely arrived into the front spot of the parking lot, through the EXIT ONLY without hurting anyone......I hopped out and headed towards the front door of the school. Apparently, the "Officer of the Zone" hides out in the bushes after all have vacated the premises to wait on deliquents such as myself, because before my Skechers could hit the pavement,

I notice this coming at me out of the corner of my eye!

OH NO!!

I was in for it! An early morning rant by the "Yellow & Orange Clad Officer", who felt he should compare the empty parking lot to a busy rush hour packed freeway?!

He went on to scream at me in a broken English/Spanish accent..........

"LADY! Do you know why you don't go the wrong way on a freeway?!"

"Well, yes, so you won't hit other people, " I replied.

"Do you know what you just did?" he quizzed.

"Oh! I know this one too! I just went into the EXIT ONLY!" I said.

He was not amused, and he threatened that "he better not ever catch me doing that again!"

Yikes! I bet I won't! and I just bet I might have to buy him a Segway for Christmas so he can catch hoodlums like me a little faster in the mornings!!

**disclaimer: Please don't get me wrong, I really appreciate all that this sweet man does to keep our kids safe each school day, and I do know how to read and technically I did enter the lot the WRONG WAY, but really a busy freeway compared to an empty parking lot??? Now really!?

OK-OK, I lose.

"Where's Mom?!"

Last night, Hallie woke me up in the middle of the night in a panic......"Where's MOM?!" she frantically asked! I remember saying, "Hop in the bed and I'll go look for her!" AND I DID! Waking myself up as I'm nervously counting the members of my family and suddenly realizing...I AM MOM!

I believe this alarming "people search" at 3am was the direct result of too much....

before bed! That is some gooood stuff!

Geeez!! (BUT...I'm really not sure what she had before bed to not recognize me in the 1st place)!? ha!
