Ya'll

Time for a funny story :)

This past week I've caught myself saying ya'll and some really off the wall things.  Or I should say phrases that I used to say but since moving from Tennessee I stopped.  
For example "winda"   I was 37 years old before I knew that window ended in dow instead of da.   If I was saying it out loud versus typing it...you'd understand.

Anyway.....this week I said winda and ya'll multiple times and it was starting to freak me out because why would I all of a sudden revert back.


So,  I was telling Kim last night that I was doing that and I told her about the dude that was at my house the other day & I said ya'll and he laughed.  And all of a sudden she said what book are you reading?   OH MY GOSH!!!  That's it.  I've been reading to Chase every night and if you've ever read "All the Pretty Horses" you'll understand why I'm all of a sudden talking like I don't have a lick of sense in my head   (okay I took that phrase right out of that book ....I'm sure).   I don't usually like saying anything negative but someone please tell me what that book can teach my 17 year old. Other than how to swear and put God's name in vain.  I personally think it should be removed from the reading list but oh well.  After I read to him I then explain that we all have different taste and personally I dislike it (okay I'll admit I said the hate word). 

  Is it possible I'll change my mind when I get to the end?  Give me Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks or James Patterson any day of the week!!   

Changing subjects now......

  Brooke & I just got home from her swim meet and she & I both agreed she was better this week.   Not anywhere near the other girls but she's making progress.  I'm so proud of her!!

Dave is in Texas this week and I miss him!!  We're having a hard time adjusting to him being gone all the time.  It reminds me when the kids were little and I was on my own a lot back then (he was in sales).  We are so thankful for a job but it's like he's never here and when he is here he's tired from his traveling and he's getting ready to leave again. 

This week the smoke alarm starting going off due to a low battery and all the light bulbs burned out in Brooke's room.  I broke the smoke alarm trying to get it open and dinged the wall with the ladder.   Why is it that things always happen when he's not here?
I could fill a book of those stories!!  

Gotta run....it's time to read to my dear Chase.
