You Might Be A Redneck If.....

This last weekend I was in the kitchen making dinner, that's right you read correctly...making dinner, and out the window I saw the strangest thing. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Alexxa driving the quad.

Oh wait, it's not just Alexxa, Todd's there too.

What the heck, he's standing on an I-beam dragging the driveway.

And that my friend is redneck driveway maintenance.

Do You Give Up?

So, I thought and thought about what type of bird Alexxa could be talking about. Crane...mostly white but has some black....no, penguin...not big and also not likely to see one in Roseville...no, pelican...usually near the ocean, right?...nope, geese...aren't they usually green and brown...negatory. I wracked my brain all day Saturday and I couldn't come up with an answer. Sunday rolls around, and again we head back down to Cherry Island for Alexxa's last soccer game, AND on the way guess what I saw in a yard...an ostrich. That's right, the flightless bird from Africa. That was the bird that Alexxa had seen. I think she should have emphasized BIG, as in human size or bigger, and sometimes they are more grey than white, but the mystery was solved. I think it is safe to say you don't have to worry about Lexx or I becoming ornithologists.

Things I am thankful for today:

Weekends when you do absolutely nothing

Making dinners that my family enjoys

Your Best Guess?

Last weekend we traveled to Cherry Island where we watched Alexxa play her last competitive soccer game. Her first game was played at 8:30 AM on Saturday which meant we needed to be at the field at 7:30 AM. Most people who know Alexxa well, know that she is not a morning person, so almost the entire way down to the field she hardly said two words to me (Todd was taking his EIT test). All of a sudden, while driving past Roseville, she pipes up and asks me, "What is that bird? It's big. It's like black and white?" Remember, she is almost 18, so I'm looking for a little more detail than this. Again, it's morning, and that's all I get. Any idea what bird Alexxa was talking about? What's your best guess?

No giving it away if I already told you the answer!

What I'm thankful for today:

Pedicurist with magical hands

Here's TOES Weekends :)

So I made it through another work week, and to celebrate I am going to get myself a pedicure tomorrow. I'm super excited to do this because these dogs have been shoved in shoes all winter and they are needing a little extra TLC. Maybe if you're lucky I'll post a picture of my darling digits!

What I'm thankful for today:

WEEKENDS!

No jury duty - that's for you Amy:)

Pity Party Is Over

I'm back and ready to attack the rest of the week. Sometimes you just have to wallow in self pity for a day and then get back to reality. I can check that off of my things to do now.

Things I'm thankful for today:
Prednisone - It's a miracle drug!
