Men!?!?!?!

Okay - what is it with our men these days? Do they all act like children when they don't get their way or you say something that they didn't like???
We were on our way to my Grandmother's tonight when I teased John about the jerky ride (we were pulling the tractor). Well, apparently I insulted him b/c right away he turned around and came home. Seriously - what is the big deal?!?!? Why is it that when women want to joke about something it is the end of the world, but when our boyfriends/husbands make dumb comments we are supposed to act like it is the wittiest thing we ever heard?
You guys always say that we never tell you when something is wrong...that when asked we just shrug and say, "Nothing's wrong...". Well - take a look in the mirror! When you throw a fit about something, and we want to know what is wrong...you simply say, "Nothing" and expect us to leave you alone. Ever wonder why your girlfriend/wife "harps" on you all day - well, that is why! When you act like something is wrong, but say it's not...we DON'T believe you! If there truly is nothing wrong - then quit acting like such a child!

Okay - deep breath - I'm done venting.

Summer Break

Well, I finished up the summer session w/ a 4.0 GPA - of course, I only took 2 classes so that is not as impressive as it sounds...
I took Christian and Chelsea with me to Grandma's for a long weekend. Chelsea had such a great time - it has been a while since she has come with me so I'm glad she came and got to see her daddy. They went to the zoo one day and he took her for pizza another. Then, on our last day there he surprised her with a trip to Wal-Mart to do some school clothes shopping. We came home Tuesday morning and as usual, Christian didn't want to go home...he loves hanging out w/ his Papa so much!
Wednesday the 13th was his birthday so he and I hung out all day together. I took him to the mall to ride the carousel, and of course, we had a Cinnabon cinnamon roll! We came home, he napped and I baked his cake. After work, Brittney and Carlos came by and we put our hand prints on a t-shirt I'm making for him.
I have to say - I'm completely appalled at the news reports of people forgetting their children in the car and the kids dying because of it. I mean, seriously - how do you forget a child in the back seat? Is it because you are talking on your cell phone and not paying attention? People...seriously...you take that same baby to the sitter/day care every day! It becomes routine...how can you forget putting your child in the car seat before you got in the car??? I think it is really sad that every summer, we hear about this same tragic incident. I know that God is taking care of those precious little ones whose lives were cut short, but it is sad to think that those babies could have become someone who made a difference in our world. Just think...that little boy was smart enough to put a key in the ignition to try to get out of that truck. At 3 years old, if he was smart enough to know to put a key in the ignition, he could have been smart enough to mix a drug that could cure cancer!
Well, that is my 2 cents on the matter...

One more week until classes start up again. Christian's birthday party is tomorrow, church on Sunday, lunch w/ Christina on Monday, and dinner with Michelle on Tuesday. Life is good so I'm going to count my blessings and say a prayer for the healing of those parents who lost a child due to their own mistake.
God bless you all!
