I've experienced somewhat of a near death experience over the last 5 days. Maybe I am being dramatic, but I have been overcome with head and chest congestion, sore throat, and all-over body aches. Zane (10) came home to his poor ole mom laying on the couch Friday night and said, "Mom you just need to drink some whiskey. That'll clear you up!" However, I chose to use the assistance of a steroid shot and antibiotics. I plan to be back to my normal self in no time. This horrible illness is to blame for the absence of a Top Ten Tuesday this week. In lieu I am providing an account of recent events that is sure to brighten your day at my expense. Enjoy!
It was a regular ole Monday night. After the kids were bathed, we were all
sitting on the couch watching The Voice.
All except Ramzee because she prefers to
twirl, cartwheel and get all sorts of jiggy on the living room rug right
between our faces and the television. I was doing my best to ignore this (way
too energetic) evening activity when Ole Jus says, “Does she have glitter in
her hair?” Without looking I say, “Nah, it’s wet.”
Upon further discussion and review…she had
glitter in her hair.
It seems she has a secret glitter stash. When she feels
the need to be glitterized she whips it out and sprinkles it on her head.
The next day led me to even further discovery in
the case of the mistaken Tinkerbell identity.
She was told to clean her room before we left the house so I went in to
check it out. The room was emmaculate.
Bed made, dresser clear, floor bare…well mostly bare. The glitter stash strikes again. As icing on the cake of her clean room,
Ramzee proceeded to sprinkle glitter on her comforter, on her rug, on her floor
and every other surface in her corner of the world.
I didn’t even know what to
say…so I didn’t say anything. Bless it! I
suppose if I were a seven year old girl my life might be enhanced by sprinkling
glitter on all of my belongings. SO…the
glitter stays…FROM THIS SIDE OF THIRTY.
