The Shirt Incident

Big news from the 3rd grade child who got straight A’s, Made the Principles list, Reads on a 12th grade level…..tied the arm sleeves of his shirt together, yes while he was still wearing it and couldn’t get them untied!

The WHOLE class knew what he had done…including the teacher. Who for some reason was upset with the antics. Can’t imagine why.

But thanks to Iverson (a fellow student), the boy child was freed and replaced his arms back in the sleeves where they belonged.

Alive and well, ready to tell Momma “I did something stupid today”.

A few nights ago the Prince and I are sitting on the couch. He’s playing with his laptop (yes he has his own laptop) and he’s getting frustrated. Finally he says:

“Momma my Mozzarella isn’t working!”

Say what? I replied trying to figure out what in the world he’s talking about.

“My Mozzarella! I can’t get to my starwars game!”

I look at his laptop and what he’s talking about is Mozilla’s Firefox. I tell him – Honey it’s Mozilla, there’s no R in it; it’s not a piece of cheese.

To which he replies – “Why not, you use a mouse to get to it!”

We are watching the movie “2012”..don’t ask me why. There is a scene where the Pope and his Bishops are on their knees in the Vatican praying as the world is coming to an end. Now I won’t go into the movie implying this gathering is inside Vatican City in Saint Peter’s Basilica and under the dome; with no sign of the altar with Bernini’s baldacchino (the black columned altar); and I won’t point out that these men of faith look up to see Michelangelo’s painting of God touching Adam’s finger which is actually in a totally different building know as the Sistine Chapel….But I digress.

The dome above the Pontiff & his Bishop’s starts to crack, right between the fingers of God and Adam.
As the ceiling begins to fall, our little Prince says:
“Well I guess they can stop praying now”.

Last night as the family was going to bed we were doing our usual impression of The Waltons, “Good night kid, good night Momma, Good night Daddy…” We heard the one of the cats getting into the toilet paper in the bathroom. I put the kibosh on that and went back to bed. I said, “We need some balloons so we can keep them out of the toilet paper and other various things they should avoid getting into.”

After a minute or so, which I suppose was how long it took the kid’s mind roll this around, the kid said, “That would be cool, if we hung the toilet paper from the balloon then they wouldn’t be able to reach it.”

Suddenly we’re cracking up because I started imagining all kinds of things hanging from helium balloons. I’m guessing the kid still doesn’t know how balloons really work to keep cats out of things.

E.W.

And I know some of you out there don’t know either. If you put a balloon in front of something you don’t want the cat to bother, when they swipe at it or try to climb it, it explodes. Most cats avoid those places afterwards.

A couple evenings back, we all went out and sat on the porch. Rascal, our Dalmatian puppy was playing on her lead with the Prince down in the yard. Suddenly the Prince is very excited because he’s discovered a frog. A Fowler’s toad to be exact. If you’re living in the south and you’re male, this is the frog you’ve played with a thousand times.

Well, when the Prince discovered it, so did the mutt. And she did what she’s done with voles, mice, birds and even bats. She ran over and bit it. Now I didn’t know this, but it turns out that those toads are poisonous. It was pretty obvious from the reaction of the dog. She spent a minute or so looking like she was trying to spit out her own tongue.

So we ran out there, got her in the house and the Queen washed her mouth out. Then we did some research. Now I’ve seen a smaller dog bite a poison arrow frog in Florida and live. Of course about six hours of that living wasn’t all that pleasant. but he did live. So I wasn’t too worried about a frog I didn’t even realize had poison. Bottom line, as long as she didn’t eat a couple of them whole, she was in no danger.

Now the really bad part is that it was close to the Prince’s birthday and one of the things he got were little glow stick swords. So right after the dog’s first ever psychedelic trip began, we turned off the lights and started waving around glowing colored sticks. After she got done watching the glowing colors, we turned the lights on and she spent some quality time staring at a white wall. I guess that’s the equivalent of standing still on firm ground after riding one of those whirly rides as the fair.

E.W.

We’re starting a pool on how many more of them she has to bite before she figures out not to bite them. I’ve got three…

The Shoe Incident

Um Momma…I have something to tell you…

Today at breakfast (at school no less), I was playing with my shoe and I put my finger in it like this…and then I couldn’t get it out.

Momma…starts giggling.

I started crying and yelling for help. Some of the teachers came to help and NO one could get my finger out!

Momma…starts laughing.

Finally one of the teachers said let’s take the shoe off and see if we can cut it out of there. I was really scared they were going to cut my finger off.

Momma is now laughing hysterically.

When they got it off something happened and my finger ust came loose. I was so scared they were going to have to cut my finger off to get the shoe off!

Momma can no longer breath!

The Canoe Incident

The man child is out in the backyard working with Daddy to clean up and prepare the fire bowl for an evening of roasting marshmallows. When he suddenly notices the canoe filled to the brim with water.

Well we can’t just let that sit there like that now can we!? No of course no. We need to run and leap over it. At it’s widest point of course.

And so the second of the “Hey y’all watch this!” moments. He gathers himself up, takes off running, and leaps….. right into the water filled canoe.

Yep..that’s our Honor Roll Student!

The 2010 Nascar Chase has begun after last night’s Air Guard 400 at Richmond International Raceway. The race itself was less than exciting, in general. But the last 10 laps did get interesting as our native Richmonder Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag over team mate Kyle Busch. Coach Joe Gibbs had a great night in that his entries finished 1st, 2nd and 4th as Joey Logano came in just behind Jimmie Johnson.

Our boys didn’t fare real well however. Tony Stewart had improved his position to the top 5, but began dropping back like a rock after the 1st caution adjustment. Seems the team just couldn’t get those changes corrected and he finished the race in 16th.

Ryan Newman’s chance to get into the chase were dashed as Bowyer had a great race and finished in the top 10. But it was great seeing Ryan fight for all they had and finish the overall race in 11th.

And what happened to Dale Jr? He qualified well, starting in the top 10. But that was all he wrote. He dropped back during the entire race like a rock and finished 34th. All in all it was dismal year for Jr. But Sir Evil remain a true fan.

So our boys end the season like this:

The Chase for the Cup begins Sept. 19th in New Hampshire. The points have been reset and the standings going into the race are:

RK	DRIVER	PTS	BACK	WINS	TOP5	TOP10	DNF	EARNINGS
1	Denny Hamlin	5060	–	6	10	11	2	$4,292,228
2	Jimmie Johnson	5050	-10	5	10	14	4	$5,338,436
3	Kevin Harvick	5030	-30	3	11	17	1	$5,164,351
4	Kyle Busch	5030	-30	3	8	14	1	$4,861,478
5	Kurt Busch	5020	-40	2	8	15	2	$5,464,010
6	Tony Stewart	5010	-50	1	7	14	1	$4,269,900
7	Greg Biffle	5010	-50	1	5	14	2	$3,734,487
8	Jeff Gordon	5000	-60	0	10	13	2	$4,379,398
9	Carl Edwards	5000	-60	0	6	14	2	$4,096,479
10	Jeff Burton	5000	-60	0	5	13	0	$3,943,397
11	Matt Kenseth	5000	-60	0	5	10	0	$4,091,273
12	Clint Bowyer	5000	-60	0	4	14	2	$3,402,729

At last years Chase race in Richmond, the Little Prince decided he liked Carl Edwards. Perhaps because he was able to sit in Carl’s Nationwide Scotts car, which might have been a good luck charm for Carl. He won the Nationwide race that night. Or because the Prince really likes “The Duck” from Aflac. What ever his reasons, we’ll be following Carl from now on as his #2 guy.

So here’s hoping Tony and Carl smoke ’em all in the Chase! Good Luck Guys! And if not one of our guys, ANYONE BUT JIMMIE!!!!!!

The ZuZu Pet Incident

So the Honor Roll Student gets a ZuZu pet. We’re on our way to school. As we left the house Momma specifically says “Don’t put that on your head, you’ll get it stuck in your hair.”

As we get to school: “Momma I put him on my head and now he’s stuck in my hair!”

To which Mom and Dad start cracking up and grab the camera! The first moment of the redneck call “Hey y’all watch this”.
