Monday Morning Musings - She's A Yankee DOODLE Sweetheart


There is nothing I love more than free shopping. The kids and I went to IKEA last week. A few months back Steve and I went there and we took a bunch of stuff back. We didn't have a receipt so we had to take store credit. My favorite kind of return. Because that means you have to buy something else. Well, for some reason we had to leave before we found something we wanted to buy. So I figured I would go back another time and use it. I totally forgot how much money was on that card they gave me. I was thinking it was like $20. So I had them scan the card and tell me what was on it when I got to the store. WOO HOO! There was a lot 'O money on it! Well, a lot 'O money for me, who was expecting to go and only spend the $20. It was fun going on a little "free" shopping spree.

I have been thinking that I might pile all my kiddos in the mini van and take a little drive to the Big D. Tejas. The Lone Star State. That place where everything is bigger and better. I'm missin' my hometown and all the people I left behind. So anyhoo, I was thinkin' about driving there. Just me and the kids (Steve has to work far too much). Then I took the kids to IKEA. And on the way home not only did they fight and argue and make me crazy the whole time, but I kept almost falling asleep. I decided that if I can't make the drive home from IKEA, I probably couldn't make the drive half way across the country. Dallas will have to wait for me another day...

All I have to say is, Europeans at the water park today. If you are European and you are reading this, I am sorry, but....uhhhh.....uhhhh.....uhhhhh....

I bought me some worshshable markers down at the Whal-mhart last week. Zac has been using them to doodle upon his little sisters face:

Addy looks great with a beard and curly mustache. I think you should encourage her to grow them.

I am always planning road trips and then canceling them the next time I have the kids in the car for more than a ten minute drive.
