the hits,horses,and children

sometimes when I'm riding along in the car and I'm bored with all music and kind of just need something to mindlessly fill my ears with I listen to 'the hits' by Garth Brooks. I mean really...unless you are my bubs and only like 'good' music-who could resist 'the hits.' They are just the best fall back music. when nothing else seems to suit my fancy. but they are a smorgasbord of whatnots(okay not really whatnots-but stick with me) that I don't pull out unless there is just nothing more interesting.

okay,next...my favorite blog to read(besides E's) is pioneer woman. She has these 'hits' type of days also. when nothing else too exciting is going on in her life...she writes about horses. I mean it is what her daily life is all about. She is after all-a ranchers wife. I guess horses are just a part of daily life. But one of those things I don't really care about reading about...I prefer her juicier stuff. Everyone has to have 'hits' days every once in awhile I suppose.

This my friend is one of those days.

I have nothing relevant to say.

Actually, that's a lie.

I have plenty of relevant things to say, but I'm too tired to share them at this moment.

So,I'll just talk to you about my 'fall back' topic.

PW is around horses all the time, so she writes about horses.

I am around kids all the time, so I'll write about kids.

I personally think they are the greatest liittle things ever.

I want 4 of them and if you do the math then I need to get going on this...errr...immediately.

But that isn't what this is about at all.

Now that I owe you 30 seconds of your life back, I'll tell you what I set out to tell you in the very beginning.

Today,I was with kids pretty much ALL DAY. Which is great...unless it's just one of those days and you're just in a bad mood. Much like I was.

Okay...I'll tell you. Geez!!

Anyways,I desperately needed a diet coke and was in a house that doesn't have diet coke.

So, what did I do...what would any self respecting(WHAT? AM? I? TALKING? ABOUT?)girl who needed a diet coke do?

I loaded the kids up and went to the corner market to fetch said diet coke.

And it wasn't till we were home and I was finally getting to enjoy my diet coke that the 2 year old walked up to me and said...

"Mary,diet coke is baaaaaaaaad"

I wish I could tell you that I spit out my diet coke or that I said it was the only thing keeping me from going postal at the moment.

I didn't.

I rolled my eyes and said, 'well, it's the best thing for me at this time.'

I then immediately regretted rolling my eyes. I'm always onto them about rolling their eyes. That's not okay.

why did I say that to a 2 year old?

Why did a 2 year old say that to me?

I don't know but the kicker is...she then ran up to me and beggggggged for a sip. I mean begged and pleaded. And when that didn't work-she did what any self respecting 2 year old would do.

She pitched a hissy.

Whether or not I gave her a sip is between me and her.

And you should know that I looove this child more than anything. She doesn't know that diet coke is bad. She's just HEARD it.

So,now you're wondering...why did I share that tiny 10 minute segment of my day with you...

well the answer is because I can't sleep and I figured I'd blog.

And I had nothing better to say because it's just been one of those insignificant days.

Sorry,IOU 1 minute.

You should also know that I talk about kids all the time. Not because I'm bored...or having nothing better to say...just because I do happen to love them a lot. And they are my life. Whether or not they are mine...they are my life.

And while I'm drinking a diet coke in the solitude of my own apartment,I kind of wish I had someone telling me it is 'baaaaaaaad.' It makes life so much more interesting.

okkkkkkay, I'll give you another 15 seconds.

goodnight.

**you should all know that the kids loooved this trip to the market because they got treats and kids just like little adventures**

***you should also know that I don't usually just go and do stuff like this...we were actually on the way home from a lesson and the market was right on the way...also though,I REALLY NEEDED A DIET COKE TODAY!***

mama said there'd be days like this,there'd be days like this my mama said...

also,I bawled quite loudly and hysterically at the movie 'hotel for dogs'

the kids were mortified.
