When DS was about 3 we were in Juarez, Mexico/El Paso, TX with an aunt and 2 cousins of mine. We got ready to go home and DS had heard happy 4th all day long...he began to just sob (it had been a very long, hot day and he was quite tired) saying but I want to go to the 4th of July! Nothing we could say would convince him it was not a place. Apparently it was illegal to shoot off fireworks in city limits, so just as full dark fell we were traveling out of El Paso, there were cars lined up for at least 20 miles with families shooting off their fireworks. DS was over joyed, he thought we had "gone" to the 4th of July. After we passed the last vehicles, he fell peacefully to sleep the rest of the way home.

Just a funny memory to share.:oops:

You're too sweet! :wub::wub:

Not us. Feeling much better but sure don't feel like going and hanging out at a picnic table in the heat...nor listening to fireworks popping. Home is comfortable and peaceful. Besides if I go off to a party I can't be here to visit with my ECF family! :)
Well can't argue with that, it's raining here. Ladies I present to you, the British summer.

Oh how I would love rain and all the lovely green country side! I believe when (if?) I ever need my umbrella again, it will have dry rotted!:facepalm: One of my favorite parts of Europe that in each day a little rain must fall! (or so it seemed to me) Nice way for God to rinse away a bit of the grime of the day and let you be a bit refreshed.:)

    Yikes, I know I've been a bit off lately but I just went to fill my blueberry/apricot tank and only had enough for 1/2 a tank. I may have to mix today instead of being lazy! When I said something DH said he's a bit low on strawberry as well.:shock::-x:facepalm:
    Blueberry & Apricot. Interesting. Details Bobbi! Ratio? Flavor percentage? :laugh:

    Texted boss and told her they didn't want me to return til the 8th....so you won't be in on sunday?:facepalm::glare::mad:
    I'm contagious, I'll do paperwork if you want but I'm not running a register.

    at the moment I can't talk, barely breath and can't swallow...they lucky i'm not filling workmans comp cuz it was their fault this came on...with the ac out then trying to put fans on us...killed my sinus/allergies/allergy induced asthma and left me open to infections.....

    anyways...getting tired again...gonna go sleep some more....that's pretty much all i've done all week...work/sleep
    I ain't slept this much in a long time sad part is i don't even feel like i've slept....
