Coffee and Cinnamon Rolls
That is what I am having for breakfast. The rolls are in the oven and I have me a nice cup of Joe right in my hand, well it is sitting here where I can reach it. How exciting can that be? Almost as exciting as the fact that I am going to Cincinatti today. I get to see my girlfriends and I am taking me a big ole jug of wine too. Girls sitting around with a glass of wine and talking. Now that is the shit. OOppps! I said the s word. Oh well. I am sure I will say it a lot more tonight.
Alan had shared that there was teenage drama going on in our house. Well, I am going to whine about it some more, in a good way though. We had some concerns about our oldest daughter and something she had said. I talked to her and it was just drama. See, I make my kids talk to me, I sit on them and tickle them until I get what I want. Or I pick them up at the bus stop and drive around in the "rich" neighborhood until I get out of them what they need to say. Bullying? Nah, just me caring and not letting them get away with that secret crap. Ooppps, once again I have been vulgar, well, that is the language of the common people, so I guess that is ok since I am the common people.
My house is going to be the gathering place for the neighborhood teens. Alan and I both have decided that. Alan made a gate to block the dog off so that people can go out back on the deck and not have to worry about getting bit. He is a sweet dog, it is just that the little boy we lived next to when he was a puppy antagonized and terrorized him. Threw fireworks at him and such. So, he doesn't like boys. Anyway, I want these kids close to me. I have grown to care for them. I also want my kids close by. I want to be all up in their stuff and know everything. I want them to know I care. See, I can do that and not be a dictator, I think.
Meaghan has a horseshow coming up. November 2nd. It has been awhile, because of finances, since she has shown. So, I am excited. She is good, she has room for improvement, but she is good. Man, I wish I was upperclass sometimes, so I could by her a good horse. One that is at her level. Right now, we have to settle with riding other peoples horses. Nothing wrong with that.
The Con man is about to turn 10, and that is freaky. He should still be this little thing playing "hiyah" in the living room. With his little diapered bubble butt rolling around and "rasslin" with some imaginary foe. We are taking him to Laser Quest. This will be his first "real" birthday party, with the inviting friends and all. I am excited for him.
Alan and I were talking the other day and we think that McKenzie might end up being our "Nun". She is so spiritually aware at such a young age. That would be interesting, seeing how much she likes boys right now. And the fact that she says she is going to grow up and marry Josh, the little boy up the street. She looooves him. I don't see why she can't do both.
Well, that is all. I will talk at you all later.
