We are outside last night and I overhear Sam say to himself:
"A Shooting Star!!!
I wish I could fly!
Oh dang it, it was just an airplane.
Oh well."

Sometimes I wonder if my kids look at me and see anything besides a walking garbage can. It seems like they are constantly trying to hand me trash.

Conversation with my 16 year old the other day:
"I just love shopping and make-up and earrings. What do you love, mom?"

The last few weeks our best toy has been a big pothole in my driveway. The kids get the hose, fill it up with water, and then put toys in there and play all kinds of games... for hours. Kids are too funny, and I love that pothole.
And no, we're not white trash, although some of our neighbors may disagree.
"Sammy, Mia, how many times have I told you that you can't play in the pothole in just your underwear! Put some sunscreen on!"

About Me
- fünf
- I am a straight shooter. The New Mexican chow hound. I make a mean virgin Margarita. Green chile courses through my veins. I am a wanna-be runner. I am a mother of three and a wife of one- the one, my one and only. I am an appreciater of creative people. I am powered by sunshine. I love trees but don't hug things that don't hug me back. Someone called me "nature girl" once and I liked it. Exercising makes me feel alive. Exorcism makes dead people feel alive. I like chips and salsa more than a friend. I don't like drama unless it's on a stage. I love to pick up and go on adventures. I want my children to see and appreciate the world and it's people. I was a school teacher before I got a harder job. I don't mind blog stalkers as long as they behave themselves.

You make me laugh every time I get on here! You rock!
Anyway I just love how I can just hear Sam in my head when you write his little remarks.
