St Patty's Day!

Well dern... I like this holiday. Not my favorite by no means but its up there and I didn't even have a green shirt get that@!!! So needless to say I got a few pinches!!

Hope you all have a great one and drink plenty of green beers, I know I am!! :0) I am taking a few mommy days with a girlfriend to decompress and enjoy!!! ahhhhh post pictures later!! meanwhile here are my littles..it their green get up!

Some things make you scratch your head!!~

Ever notice that some things in life just aren't worth your energy anymore?? Some things just make you scratch your head and wonder WTH?? I have come to those crossroads I do believe ... I find myself looking around saying Ahhh Haaa!! This is what they mean when they say you just all of a sudden hit that age where you don't give a Sh* t anymore about crazy ass friends, about stupid things around you that go on. Welp, I am super close to 40 somethin and maybe that is the magic age.
I heard it said very well by a girlfriend just last week... She is a team mom for her kids baseball team, she tells me she sets up her chair away from the other moms when I ask why.. she says " I have enough friends, I sure do not need to add more... and sure not the competitive physco stay at home mom ones. Humm I say.... my kiddo plays ball with a few of those as well. I left thinking the rest of the week on that conversation. Not sure if they even have to be the stay at home mom ones they come in all shapes and sizes...

Ya know maybe there really is that age where you just settle into life...mid life and enjoy the crap out of it. You know where you don't have to impress the other 20 somethin's by drinking like a fool or who worry yourself sick about who is mad at you... you don't have to keep up with the "jones" like to 30 somethin's go on big trips and buy big houses. Yeah 40 somethin' you wear flip floppers, drink a few beers, tell people to go to hell if they piss ya off . You know "say what cha mean and mean what cha say", enjoy your kids and keep right on truckin...go to the lake and know you have close friends & family you have had for years and years they know where you stand and you know where they stand you have that love/ love relationship. At the end of the day isn't that all you really need?? If you bump into a cool person along the way congratulations, if not, well no loss. Seems like maybe we should just start life in our 40 somethin's and go backwards.... Wonder what the 50's somethin's bring us??

Heck, I enjoy this not being wrapped up or worried about others bullshi@ and really removing myself from it... my girlfriend has kiddos a little older than mine and she has quite the humorous stories to tell about Crazy A@@ people. We will be real good Old Ladies laughing in our rocking chairs some day...

Bad Hair Day DAMIT!~

See this?? Yeah Poor Phil he had a bad hair day and someone spent a long time fixing this up for him I am sure to prove a point in court that day. My point of posting this is cause I am having hair day issues... I want a cute hair cut again DAMIT!! I go thru this vicious cycle of growing it out... no now cut it short, go shorter, go shorter, now grow out again. UGH.. I refuse to have long hair again as 95% of the people you see with long hair wear it in a pony tail or it just plain looks nappy (that's my opinion) they needed a hair cut years ago. Anyway, I feel like a hairdresser whore I keep skipping around town because the person I love so dearly is of course in Tennessee. I stalk people around different places when I see super cute cuts asking "excuse me where do yo get your hair cut?" it never fails I get the answer "oh my friend cuts it she works in South Austin and she charges $100 bucks." Well if you have short hair and it is thick like a horses ass like mine you almost have to have it cut every 4 weeks. Then heaven forbid you want to look super cute and throw some color in there that adds another $100 to the price of your head. So maybe I should just look like ole Phil up above and start a new trend..and be done with it.

My Cool Dudes!~

How funny Coop is trying to show Luke how to do the Cool Dude wave he says...

Fun Times= hard long days

SO here are a few pictures of my week at this event... we had fun as you can tell but long 16 hour days in heels made it rough on a momma!! Then the fact of not seeing my kids for over 8 days straight.. yikes!~ I am so glad to be home now if I can just stay awake :0)
The Bear Bryant hat was super popular but no one had much of a clue

Not sure the blond Dolly Parton hair do was working out for me.. but I loved loved loved the Alice in Wonderland hat.

Happy Birthday PaPa!~

(this is me w/ my PaPa on the left)

My PaPa's birthday is actually on Valentines Day..kinda crazy I never really knew knew him but I think of him every Valentine's Day and every Year on my Birthday. If it sounds weird well it probably is his birthday is on Valentine's Day and he went to heaven so close to my birthday and I remember it so vividly. I was super young 3 days away from being 6 years old. Amazing how such a man could leave such a impact on such a little girls brain, but he was quite a man I do tell ya. Here is what I remember:

he was a big man (looks at his hands above)

he always stopped at the back kitchen sink to wash his hands

he never let me touch the TV NEVER

he was VERY dark complected-that has helped me out thanks PaPa!~

he always sat on the back porch in a black metal chair watching the pasture field

he never laughed much

he always sat at the end of the table for dinner and drank tea out of a green rippled glass

he kept his car spotless

he helped me eat a peach & showed me how to plant it :0) - that thing really grew too

he always let me ride the tractor with him

The ONE thing I remember the most is the man wore a full set of dentures and he would pop them out and put them back in his mouth several times and just laugh. It would scare me if not gross me out but he loved it! Now my dad does it to my kids ..LOL and my littles think they can take their teeth out of their head like that too.

You know... I think about all these things as I watch my dad with my kiddos and know they are making great memories too. So glad my kids call my dad PaPa and kept a great thing going.. Miss you PaPa and thank you for the wonderful memories.. I know you are keeping them all straight up there in heaven and will straighten the rest of em out when they get there... :0) Happy Happy Birthday to You !~
