who knew pizza hut could be so dangerous

i took the kids out for pizza at the hut this evening.  they get a free pizza coupon every month from school for reading so many books and it's nice to not have to cook anything at home.

anyway we're sitting there and they have these little word trivia games at the table.  they like to ask them while we wait for the pizzas.  all of a sudden i hear kaylah asking me the question "fictional christmas and easter ......." followed by "What? OhhhhNOOO"
I have no clue what i'm going to say and my son, luckily had not heard what had transpired.  she looks at me and says "mommy?? is this true" and i swear she's about to start crying.  so i said to her, "well yeah, i mean no one knows what he looks like, so they have to make up a picture of him"  luckily that made sense to her, but i was dreading having that conversation.  i'll have to remember to look at the questions before letting them read them.

good lord.  at pizza hut.  can you imagine??

Duh!! quote of the day

Overheard in the hallway of the school.

2 first grade boys talking on the first day back from vacation.

"So did you and your girlfriend break up?"

"She's not my girlfriend.  She likes me, but i don't like her."

"So does that mean that you broke up?"

"Did you hear me? I don't like her, she's a girl."

 

Ahhhh. young love, ain't it grand??

Funny Quote for the Day

This one comes courtesy of the boy and it comes in 2 parts.

 

"Kaylah - you're only famous for your elbow."  In reference to the girls elbow being in a newspaper picture from the 4th of july.

"When I get into the third grade I'm going to sign up to be in the front of the newspaper"

From his sister "You have to do something really bad to get in the front of the newspaper, or Die like the president"

 

There you have it people.  Enjoy.

Quote for the day

After being told for the third time to go take a shower, the boy responds "I'll go shower but i can't close the door, i'll get lonely."

How can you argue with that?

What did you do over Christmas Vacation...?

So my parents have been visiting for the past week.  The kids loved having their grandparents around for X-mas.  My brother also was able to drive down for a few days and spent time down here with us.

The most memorable moment though happened the night that my parents arrived.  Their plane landed around 11:00pm, so i drove out to pick them up with the little girl.  We came back and unloaded the car and started putting things away that needed to be refrigerated.  That's when my mom noticed that her medicine bag was nowhere in sight.  Apparently she had taken it out of her carry on bag in Charlotte and forgot to put it away again.  By this time it was past midnight and all the calls to Charlotte and US Air were useless since everybody was closed.

We kept calling US Air Lost and Found in Charlotte for the next few days, but it kept saying "Leave a message, Voice Mail is Full" and hanging up on us.  My dad then decided to go to the drug store at that time and getting all new prescriptions.  By the time we got back from the 24 hour pharmacy it was close to 2 in the morning.

I went to bed, dead tired.  Sometime around 3:30 i hear my husband saying "What are you doing?  Getting into bed." He smacked my bottom and asked me why my brother was in bed with us.  I jumped out of be and turned on the light.  Apparently he sleepwalks and he walked right into our bed.  It took about 15 minutes to get him to move.  He finally got up from bed, grabbed to pillows and said "Fine i'm leaving but i'm taking the pillows with me."

It was the longest night of my life.

Now Hiring Award Winning Drivers

Took a road trip to the zoo today.  It's about a 75 mile drive down a double lane highway road with Semi Trucks zooming by.  One of the trucks had a big sticker that said "Now hiring Award Winning Drivers".  So that got me thinking....what kind of awards do they get.  For tailgaiting, Flashing Bright lights at cars driving the speed limit, most cars passed in under 100 miles??

Please don't attempt to operate Heavy Machinery

I am a TV junkie, i think i've mentioned it before, but just in case i'm admitting it again.  However i am sooooooo tired of all the sleep aid commercials.

First of all, how many people actually operate Heavy Machinery??  I don't know about you, but in mind heavy machinery is like Bulldozers or Dumptrucks.

Second of all, if you need a Sleeping Pill it's because you want to sleep.

I can't imagine who in their right mind is going to wake up in the morning, take a sleeping pill and then say to themselves "I should really try to find a Bulldozer to operate for no reason".

Come on people, what is this world coming to...
