This morning I get a phone call.
It was Race's mom.
Me: "Hello?"
Race's mom: "Well, hey there! I didn't know if I would catch you at home or not. Thought that you might have to work today at your new job!"
Me Internally: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Me: (stammering, stuttering)
"Ohhhh...yeah....about that....I thought that your internet was down!!"
Race's mom: "Oh, it is. But I called my friend in FL. and had her read it to me."
GULP.
Sooooooo.........hello to all Race's mom's friends in Florida! And thank heavens I have such a wonderful mother-in-law, who saw the humor in my little joke! She suggested that I send him a pin-up! (GASP!!!) I'm SHOCKED!!!
Wow! You guys are too nice about the picture! I thought that it was hysterical! My dumb hair dryer laying in the floor, my construction paper name tag, and that dorky pose all crooked!! But, hey thanks for the compliments! And don't forget, my YOUNGEST is now 9, so I actually DO have a little more time to devote to myself than I ever did when they were little. I started working out with race, in order to spend more time with him, and lo and behold, I LOVED it! The program that I use is from "The Body Sculpting Bible for Women". I can't say enough good things about this book. It totally educated me on how to make the most of my precious time working out and eating! Anybody can do it. AND as an added bonus, working out has totally regulated my hormonal swings. Seriously, every woman should lift weights.
Austin had a friend over to spend the night last night. They camped out in the woods down by the creek. I thought that it was kind of funny though. These 2 scouts built a fire, roasted various food items, ate junk from MRE's and then settled into their sleeping bags, to..........WATCH A MOVIE??? Apparently the friend just purchased himself a video ipod with his summer job earnings. Techno-scouting?? Would Baden-Powell approve?
As an aside, yesterday at lunch, I went to fix the kids something to drink.(Read: Pretending to be a nice Mom in front of Austin's friend). I say, 'O.K., well we have iced tea, milk , or water. What would you like to drink, Sam?" Sam says, "Iced tea please". I reach for the tea, and Jack scrambles from the table, throws his body between me and the jug of tea in the fridge and screams, "DON'T GIVE HIM THE TEA! I POURED SALT IN IT!!!!"
*blink, blink.
"O.K., Sam, would you like milk, or water?"
Sigh. WHY does he do things like that?

Well, we can all see that "THE BODY SCULPTING BIBLE FOR WOMEN" really works!! And, as for you having a wonderful mother-in-law, yes, you certainly do. Race is a very lucky guy; a wonderful wife,( with a good sense of humor), and and a wonderful mother.
Who was Jack trying to get with the salt in the tea? Love, Mom
ROFL@his mom! Sounds like you married a neat family as well as being raised in one. Blessed, blessed, blessed!
That book is in my top 2 on my wish list now at Amazon - I told Geo he's only allowed to buy from there. lol
I dragged myself to Zumbah class today. I brought my 6yo daughter who afterwards said I couldn't dance well because all the other women we're skinnier than me. OUCH! And she wasn't trying to be mean.
I will have that book by Christmas...LOL
ROFLMBO!!! I love that kid! At least he came clean. But you do have to wonder... just who was that intended for? :-S
I'm glad you shared the name of the book. Right now, I'm doing good to keep up with Latin and the laundry, but it'll be good to know, you know, someday... I think. (OK, I'll probably have to call you and ask you for the title once again in, um, eight years.)
