T.G.I.F.

HOORAY! It's finally Friday!! Did anyone else's week seem like it was NEVER going to end!! 

So happy I am off the next 5 days! Can't wait to spend some serious family/friend time! Linking up with Lauren for my top 5 this week!

1. My sister sent me this me this video. How freaking precious is she!?! And don't you love that cute little Mississippi twang! 

2. Saw this on Pinterest, and it pretty much explains every new post I see on Facebook...and then me...

3. I watched this last night, I could watch it over and over and over again! It is HILARIOUS!! Perfect stocking stuffer if you are looking for last minute ideas!

4. My mom started making her famous sausage bread this past weekend. This shit is the cat's pajamas. If you like to bake, cook, eat, whatever! You should hit me up for this recipe!

5. MY BESTIE IS COMING HOME TODAYYYY!!! She was swept off her feet by some foreigner and they moved to London, but they are back tonight! **Dearest liver, I am sorry for the booze I am about to put you through! 

I hope everyone has a fabulous and safe holiday! 

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Feliz Navidad! and all that good stuff!

Check Yourself, Before You Wreck Yourself (or your car)...

Bags? Check. Fritz? Check. Phone charger? Check. Air in tires? Uhhhhh……

So, this weekend started out fab. I left work early Friday. Fritz and I were on the way to Vicksburg by 4:00, with the exception of a small wreck, we made great time.

Saturday, all of us went on a walk through the Civil War Military Park. We took the long way, and it’s about 4 miles. Fritz was totally worn out, and the babies loved the fresh air.

PLUS, check out this beautiful view…

My sister made my FAVORITE meal ever, roast and rice and gravy. No one can make it like my grandma could, but this was pretty damn close and I think the picture does it serious, SERIOUS justice…

My mom, sister, and I got to catch up on good gossip – plus, we got to decorate my sister’s living room with her new furniture and rug. Well, I walked through the door, my mom pointed me in the direction of the couch and we moved while she directed. But anyway, you get the picture.

As for Sunday, my mom and I left about 11:30. I’d say at 11:35:12 my car dings, LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

SON OF A BITCH!

I call my mom, (let me insert here, my stepdad owns a tire company, let me also mention, neither me or my mom know how to put air in a tire), she tells me to call Oscar to see what to do. Of course, he says to pull over and put in air in {DUH}. Well, remember how I said the south was NOT going to be dry this weekend, it wasn’t. Here we are out in the steady rain, learning how to put air in a tire. Needless to say, when we FINALLY got home we were given our own private, tire changing, air filling, play-by-play lesson.

Pretty much, moral of the story, take full advantage of what your parents do for a living.

HAPPY OCTOBER!

Linking up with Sami, Leeann, and Dana

"Sleepless in Vicksburg"

Do you know what it’s like to wake up to a child screaming bloody murder? And you realize you’re the one who needs to be wearing pampers because you practically shit yourself trying to get to their room? I witnessed this, this past weekend, as my sister came barreling through the den into my niece, Caroline’s, room. She must be used to this, because she had already turned the corner before I could wipe the drool from my mouth…Everything, of course, was fine – except her eye was crusted together from what we assume was pink eye. Did I mention this was the night before her little brother’s first birthday party? Yes, it may have been sabotage to get pink eye and ruin poor Noah’s day; but honestly, does she know that farting on her pillow can lead to conjunctivitis?!

Turned out none of the parents were too worried about it, and made an appearance. Here are some pics of Noah devouring his first taste of sugar:

He probably would have devoured rice cakes, since he has only been subjected to organic foods for the past 12 months.

Now, here is where I vow to never complain about Fritz waking me up at 7:30 on a weekend! At least I can take him out, let him do what he has to do, and then put him in his kennel or throw him outside, if he decides he is up for the day. What do you do when both of your kids are up at 7:30, one wont let you put them down and the other is screaming because she doesn’t want the baby touching “her toys?”  ((I guess it’s considered child abuse if you put your child in a kennel? )) Seriously though, I want kids; but, I also want a nanny, no job, and a prescription to xanax. Major props to my sister for the devotion she has to her tiny tots! And to her pup, who if you read my previous post, is referred to as the “peepee bandit”.

I hope everyone else’s Labor Day weekend was as exciting as mine was! College football started this weekend, this is one of the only reasons I am ok with saying goodbye to summer.  I’m also sad to say adios to my white jeans though – they are my fave. But, with the heat index ill gladly toss them aside for some cool air!

So bring it on Fall! I’m ready for pumpkin spice coffee, a cool walk around the lakes with Fritz, and LSU/Ole Miss!
