Road Work

Don't you just hate road work? You know it is something that has to be done but you hate when it happens on the roads you drive.

Sleep Aids

If my memory serves me right, didn't they say that Judy Garland would be on pills to stay awake and pills to go to sleep? Well, I'm her. I need my caffine during the day and my sleep aid pills at night. I hate to take pills but BOY I feel great when I wake up after a good night sleep. Maybe its not a good night sleep because I used the pills but it sure feel like it.

High School Soccer

My son plays youth soccer on a "Club" team. Next year he will be in High School. We have watched some of the games this year and have found it to be an inferior product to the club game. It is a far cry from "Proper" soccer. I'm not looking forward to 4 years of watching it. It will just be one more reason to look forward to spring time when he will play on his club team.

Time

Everybody always says that I should have plenty of time because of my job. Do you ever stop to think how much time it takes each day just to take care of yourself. Food, health, sleep, daily hygiene, cleaning up after yourself, ect. You don't have as much time as you think in a day.

Nothing

Nothing to do is the greatest feeling. You get a relaxed, tranquil feeling that sweeps through your body. The sad thing is that it almost never happens.

Catalog meat

My family LOVES to eat steak. When I make tenderloin my husband calls it "catalog meat". This is the signal to me to make sure that I don't invite anyone over to eat so he can have the bulk of the steak.

When your kids can drive

Ok, your thinking, whats so good about your kids being able to drive? It's stress on you and sleepless nights. Well, look at the bright side. If your still the kind of person that wants to go out and party it up, you have a free taxi ride. You just have to make sure you don't look and act to hammered, as it wouldn't be good in front of your kid.

Liquid paper pens

I hate when I have to correct mistakes with plain old liquid paper. I doesn't dry fast enough and sometimes when it gets old it gets clumpy and then it makes my corrections look messy. Then I found liquid paper pens. It goes on dry, not clumpy and I can make my corrections faster. What a great product.

Fantasy Football

I love fantasy football. It puts your money were your mouth is. You talk all the time about what a team should or shouldn't do and this lets you do that with a team of your own. It makes the games more interesting and help you forget about your favorite teams losing streak.

Friends

The TV show. Friends had to of been one of the best 30 min. sit coms every. It is a shame that shows have to stop. I'm sure the writers run out of story lines, so I guess we have to be happy they have re-runs.

Soccer Mom 2

Sorry about the last post. I know I was supposed to tell about the things I like but instead I decided to rant and rave. I actually like being a soccer Mom. My son really enjoys playing the game and I love to watch how he has developed over the years. I wouldn't give it up for anything.

Kids can't just go have fun anymore playing sports. It is big business now. I spent the last 4 days driving my 13 year old son around for soccer. He's tired, I'm tired.

PIZZA!!!!!!!

The most valuable invention ever created was the pizza! To be able to put all your favorite food on one round disk of dough is genius. You can make it for breakfast with bacon ,sausage,onion and egg. For lunch you put on pepperoni, sweet peppers, and extra cheese. Than for dinner you can go crazy and use the toppings of ham and pineapple. And to top off the perfect day you can make a dessert pie of chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. How perfect can any invention be.

Crock Pots

As a working mother and wife there are days that trying to get home and try to get together a nutritious meal can be close to impossible. I then remembered that my mom would use a crock pot on days that she was very busy. The dinners that she made back in the 70's weren't very good but gave her more time for the things she needed to do. So i started looking for cook books and found that there are a lot for the crock pot. I was so thrilled that I started to try a few recipes and found that most were very delicious. So not not only do I have a wonderful meal for my family I also have more time to spend with them.

Sleeping Babies

I work with children and infants and OMG! can they be loud. I can have up to 52 children at one time and the noise level can really get up there. But when nap time comes and all the babies are asleep I feel like I was just handed a little piece of heaven. No matter how crazy these children can get, when you see thier little sleeping faces you know all is right with the world.

T.O. Crying

If your a fan of any team other than Dallas, you had to of loved the after game press conference. T.O. was in tears. Was it real. Heck, he probably put pieces of onion up his nose and behind the sun glasses. Best slam I've heard in a long time...... "We hope T.O. has his popcorn ready," Strahan told reporters. "Maybe he and Crayton can sit in his home theater and watch."
