May 26, 2011

It's been a very busy couple of days. It feels like I have been going nonstop. Booking tons of cruises for clients. Business is very good. Just a really busy time of year. I finally get a chance to sit down with the family this evening and I say "I really want to go on a cruise"
Holly.."Yeah. And I wanna ride a pig. But I don't think that's going to happen either. Unless you know a good farmer"

The Devils Food

Conversation between Emma and Holly.
Emma "I don't know why these are called Devils Food Cookies. I wish they were called God's Food"
Holly "yeah me too"
Emma "Cause I love these cookies"
Holly "But I don't love the Devil. I dont even like the devil. I HATE the Devil. But I love his food"

Go ask your mom

My friend Erin is driving Emma Grace home from VBS last night. She hears a conversation going on in  the back of the van. Then "Ms. Erin! What's a whore?" Erin "what? ummmm...why don't you ask your mom" Emma "Isn't it like a big pig?" Erin "Ohhh...A boar" whew.
Erin is retelling me this in the driveway and apparently Emma Grace overhears. Because when we get home...you guesses it. "Mommy, what's a whore?" Thanks Erin.

Mango Maddness

"FINE! I'm leaving. And I'm taking my Mango with me"
Is what Holly said to me with a flick of her hair and a stomp of her foot, when I was too busy in my office to peel her mango. She is only 6. Where did that drama come from?

extra brown

Emma Grace "Is dad considered a white person?" Me "yes" Holly "No way. Dad is not white. He is extra brown"

Swamp People

So I am having one of those days. (weeks really). Getting ready to go out. Can't find anything I think looks decent. I really need a hair cut and I'm punishing myself for having Krispy Kreme for Breakfast. As I am tyring to get ready I do not realize that I have an audience or that I am talking to my self outloud. "I hate my hair. I hate my clothes. I hate my body..etc.. etc.." Just having myself a real hate fest. Then I hear a little girl sized gasp from my doorway. Emma Grace has heard most of what I just said. She comes over to hug me. I explain that I dont really hate myself...I am just having a bad day and complaining about everything. Emma looks up at me and with a serious face says "At least you look better than the Swamp People"
Yeah...so it didnt help my self image but it did make me laugh.
