My Life

Tonight, the kids watched a Will Ferrell double header. 

First, was 'Stranger than Fiction', which I thought was going to be too serious for them, but they were riveted.  Afterwards, Pumpkin told me it was one of the most amazing movies she ever saw!  High praise!

Next, they watched 'Kicking and Screaming', although they had seen it before, they all agreed it had been a while and it was good and funny!  Again, they were excellent while watching.

I think they exhausted themselves earlier!  After the weather cleared, they took the their rambunctiousness outside, before and after dinner for a while.  Dill and Fuzzy even got in some hoops, so that was nice. 

Hubby took them all to Dairy Queen for ice cream, and brought me back a treat, too.

All in all, in spite of it being a particularly difficult day for me, it was a good day!  I was able to manage the facial nerve pain, and function, although, the kids didn't ask much of me at all.  I played some cards, made some food, got some drinks, that was about it for me today!  LOL

I found this meme a while back, and finally decided to do it, as it was time consuming, and tonight, I had the time.

You won't be surprised with #1!!!

And, yes, I even found a quote about coffee by a noteable poet/author/playwright!  LOL 

I think my new personal fave coffee quote is, 'Decaf is the Devil's blend!', but it is an anonymous one, and too playful!

Good ole' TS though, sounds like he knew a thing or two about living by and through the java juice!

Okay, signing off now, hope you all have a great Friday!

be well,
