To all the swingers out there I might have lunch with some day please do not say "He can go either way". Even if you are talking about pizza toppings.
This was so funny. I was trying so hard not to laugh. Of course we weren't suppose to know you were a swinger. Of course you look just like us and every one else there. There could of been 10 other swingers in Chuck E. Cheese that day. But you said those 5 words. Those 5 words that would make me burst into laughter for the rest of my life. Now my friends can not say, "what ever I can go either way". With out me laughing.

Where's The Beef?
Didn't Wendy’s have the commercial with the lady saying Where’s the beef?
Yesterday the kids and I stopped at Wendy’s for lunch. We ordered from the Value Menu. It’s not a dollar menu maybe it never was. We don’t eat at Wendy’s enough to know. Anyways when I sat down with my burger I needed to add pepper. This is when the fun started. I took off the top bun and said Where’s the beef? It was missing. Upon closer examination I realized it was there. It was a 2” square. It was maybe an 1/8 of an inch thick.
My first thought was I have to get a picture of this. I was about to run to the car for my camera and remembered I had left it at home. Why was my camera at home? I needed a picture of this.
The 1.00 menu has items for 1.19 and 1.29, which would be why it’s the value menu instead of the dollar menu. I wanted to go order more items to see how they had shrunk. I had heard prices were going up or the size was shrinking but this was ridiculous.
I am planning a trip to Wendy’s real soon. I am going to order different things from the menu and take pictures. Maybe I will go to McDonald's and take pictures there to. Who all has dollar menus or Value Menus?
Yes it is a hot boring summer. I need something to do. My son wants me to mention the bread was very dry and tasted a year old. Both kids said, “We really need to start packing food again so we don’t have to eat out when we are away from home”. So maybe it was good thing.

It's all fun and games until.....
It's all fun and games until the 2 liter of root beer starts spraying inside your SUV. We had just returned from the grocery store and the fun began. I opened the back of the SUV and a 2 liter of root beer fell out of the back. My first reaction was we won't be opening that any time soon. That reaction quickly changed to oh my gosh it's spraying all over me. DS and I took off running. DD was in a different direction and not being sprayed. She was just watching. Then she started screaming "The truck". DS and I turn to see the bottle has flipped and is now spraying root beer in to the back of our fairly new suv. I am in shock for a moment. I stare in disbelief. Luckily dd is thinking and takes her clean clothes in to her own hands and runs into the shower of root beer to save the suv. She grabs the 2 liter and throws it away from the suv. We are all safe now thanks to Super DD.
This is the suv no one is allowed to drink sodas in. The one we are trying to keep clean. Who knew it would be covered in soda just from a trip to the grocery store. We spent the next hour cleaning root beer out of the back of the suv.

Fire Works or Frogs
I hope every one had a fabulous 4th of July. Ours was busy but wonderful.
Both kids were in the parade. One in 4H and the other in Boy Scouts. How small town is that? On the way home Dh asked the kids did you see any of your friends during the parade route. They both said no. I said how are they going to see any of their friends all their friends were in the parade?
Later in the afternoon we went to a cook out at a friends house. The food was great and after we ate the kids played soccer with the 20 something guys.
It was getting dark and we started getting things ready for the fire works. We were all sitting on a concrete patio outside their barn.
This a beautiful barn. I always want their barn. : )
We were sitting out waiting for the fire works to start. We can see the neighbors a few houses down have set up their chairs and they are all facing our direction. Dh said can you imagine what they said when they invited their guest over. Hey we are having a cook out come over and you can watch our neighbor shoot off their fire works.
It became a joke that the neighbors were having a competition with our host to have the best fire works. Our host won by a landslide. It was not even close.
It was one of the best firework displays I have seen. I have seen fire works put on by cities that did not have as many. During the fire works one of the kids caught a frog. All the kids were looking at the frog and it got away. So suddenly all the kids were looking for the frog. None were watching the fire works. They had a frog to find. They gave up on the frog and went back to watching fire works. I was laughing frogs or fireworks?

Why I don't like Wal-Mart
I am sure I could make a list of 1,000 reasons I don't like Wal-Mart, but here are a couple.
1. The guy that uses the little cart thing that brings in the buggies has hit a car in the parking lot twice.
2. Two employees at wal-mart got in a fight while they were working.
3. Our local wal-mart is always out of chalk board chalk. I don't need sidewalk chalk.
4. I always spend to much money when I go there.
Anyone have anything to add to the list?????

Fast forward a few weeks and we go out to eat. I park on an incline that is so steep my ds says why didn't they spend a little more money and level this out. It was a new restaurant. We come out and get in the car. I promise it was at least an hour later. They were very slow. I put the car in reverse back out of the parking spot. I am about to pull out of the parking lot when my car starts beeping very loudly. Real loud I look at the control panel and it says in big read letters "RELEASE PARKING BRAKE !".
Ok maybe it didn't say release parking brake but it did say the parking brake was on. I started laughing and said at least this car tells you what you are doing wrong.
Did I mention my last truck we had to replace the parking brake cable. I guess I drove with it on to many times. It never beeped or told me it was on.
I looked at dh and said now do you think that story was funny. He said maybe. I did and laughed some more.

Multi-Purpose Swiffer
Ok this is going to be one of those all over the place post. Last weekend we were spending time with another family. During our conversation some how it turned to the night I was going to kill the rattlesnake with a water hose.
We had just come home and it was almost dark. Suddenly the kids start screaming that the cat is about to get bit by a rattlesnake. I look to where they are pointing and see the cat swatting at a snake. How the kids knew it was a rattlesnake I don't know. They were standing on the deck further from the cat and snake than I was. I had to act fast. I grabbed the water hose turned it on and squirted the cat and snake. The cat went one way and the snake the other. I am standing there holding the water hose when DH comes out the door. The kids had ran in and told him I was killing a rattlesnake with a water hose. DH did look for the snake and found it. It was not a rattlesnake.
Later he asked me exactly what was I planning on doing with the water hose. He had never heard of a snake being sprayed to death. I told him I was trying to get the cat away from the snake. I knew cats did not like being sprayed with water so I was hoping the cat would run from the water. It worked. May not of been the best idea but it worked.
So now the other couple is laughing hysterically. She says I hope you are writing these things down. You are to funny. I laughed and said yes I should. I didn't dare tell her I share it all here for the world to read. What if she knew all the crazy things I do. She would probably find it funny. I am not ready to share the blog with everyone.
OK so what does this have to do with my multi-purpose swiffer?
The kids had went to get the eggs. My daughter comes running back in saying she thinks she heard a rattlesnake. I tell them to stay in the house and I will go check. So I start to go out the door and think I need something in case there is a snake. So I grab my handy dandy swiffer.
There was no snake. Sometimes some kind of bug sounds like a rattle. Must of been what it was.
I got the eggs, came in and put up my swiffer.
Fast forward to that night. We are talking to several parents at yet another kid activity. Something comes up about snakes. Quickly my dd tells them. "My mom was going to kill a rattlesnake with her swiffer." They start laughing. They all want to hear the story. One of the dads tells my son, next time your mom decides to look for a snake with the swiffer get the video camera.
OH my gosh what are they thinking. I can see my kids now following me around waiting for that funniest home video moment. Good thing none of them knew about the water hose and snake.
So that is when I decided the swiffer was multi-purpose. You can mop your floors and then use it to keep the snakes away. Had I seen a snake I would of been going the other way very quickly.
