Random Ramblings

You know how you go through life and think to yourself, I will remember this moment forever? You won't. At least I don't.  I think I am going to remember the way baseball games smell, and what my kids said loudly in public bathrooms, what the sun feels like when its February, but it kind of fades away.  Today I am just writing down randomness, more for me than you. You can play along.

1. Vacation. We just got back from Florida. We spent quite a bit of time on the beach. The kids loved it. I did too. I think I could sit on the beach forever.  One moment I will remember is when Libby told Mark that she had to pee. Mark said "Just go in the ocean"  She walked in, I would say 6 inches. The water could not have even covered her feet.  She stood facing away from us and then pulled down her swimsuit and squatted.  All we could see was her cute little butt. I held my breath and watched as she peed with her bare butt out for the whole world to see.  She will hate this story. I am pretty sure I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.

2. My friend Cheryl needs to write a book.  I met Cheryl when I was a freshman in college, she lived down the hall from me.  I can honestly say she is one of my favorite people I have ever met. I was fascinated by her and her family. They are the most talented bunch of people I have seen in one family.  Her brother is and artist, her sister is an artist. They all 5 sing, play the guitar and harmonize together.  It sounds like a movie!  Cheryl also writes. I am not sure what she does in her own time with it. I see her facebook posts. She is funny, she writes in a way that you laugh outloud and can't wait for her next post. She writes in a way that you can relate to her life and laugh and cry with her. SWEET HEAVENS CHERYL. Write a book already. If nothing else...please blog. You are perfect for it. I would offer to illustrate something, but I think your family could lend a hand on that !

3. Career day is Friday. I found out that I have to fill up 30 MINUTES of talking about what I do.  I should probably figure that out.

4. I cried watching walking dead this week. Damned zombies.

5.  I never remember how tense it is to drive home from Florida. The traffic. The poorly repacked clothes spilling out. Sand is now in the car. No one can find their "cute travel stuff" that was packed for the drive down.  We are driving AWAY from the beach.  We are now eating what feels like our 200th fastfood drive thru.  This time we thought we would add a stop at a Mexican restaurant into the mix.  This went about as well as you could imagine.  Enjoyable  meal, then we were all trapped in the car together. gross.  We made it home and are better people for it! :)

I am sure I will think of more later but this is what needs to get out right now! :)
