Thursday

Today is when my sister posts her Thankful Thursdays which I love to read btw. She has been updating her blog a lot lately. I love that too. I just wish I could make mine as interesting, but her kids are grown so I have to assume she has a little more time than I do. Right now Alex is fussing because even though she can pull herself into a sitting position anytime she wants, she sometimes still falls flat on her face (which she just did). She didn't get hurt, but since Mahala just woke her up from her nap by yelling down the stairs, she is still tired and in a fussy mood.

Mahala is one cranky little brat today. She wouldn't even talk to me this morning and just now she slammed her room door (Bridget has just said she was going to kick her little 12 year old butt the next time she does it). I don't really remember the worst punishment when I was her age, but nowadays I know what it is. Take away her cell phone. She's lost without it. Cell phone, computer an yes, even TV (some things never change). Those are the things she can't do wihtout and I think she will probably lose one or all of them tonight. One can only hope.

I have decided to try the "miracle drug" Chantix to try top quit smoking. I hear it's suppose to be great wiht the only side effects being sleeplessness, crazy dreams, depression, suicide and violently murdering your whole family. Other than that I hear it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Oh yeah, there's constipation and gas too. Man, I hope I don't get gas from this thing...

A guy died at work last weekend that helped train me when i was in the mechanics program at work. He was only 49. Hi name was Bobby Scarbrough. Had a heart attack in his sleep. I'd be lying if I didn't say that just might be one reason I decided to try the Chantix. He smoked too of course. I went from working at a 150 person plant to now a 1500 person plant. Even so, it sure seems like a lot of people have died since I have been there. 4 people have died in motorcycle accidents. That's one reason I will never have one (plus the fact that one of my best friends died in a motorcycle accident when he was in his 20's).


Bridget is fixing dinner. Hamburger helper and fried green tomatoes. Sounds good to me. Yesterday she made this chicken, cheese and asparagus stuff she saw on Rachael Ray (if I spelled that wrong then thank goodness). It was awesome. She better not lose that recipe! The dish was called Spring Chicken Rollups or something like that. Anyway I loved it.
