Painful Honesty

The 9 year old came in from playing one night and asked, "Hey, Mom!  Did the smoke alarm go off?"

"No," I replied, completely offended.

He shrugged his shoulders.  "Well, it smells like it."

Out of the mouths of babes, truths are told.

    Yeah, they do it every time. Kids just say the darnest things, don't they. You just got to love them.
    My four always leave me with my mouth wide open. Go figure.

    I'm surprised he didn't say, "Just sayin'.", after it.

    That's hilarious! I'm always offended when my hubby comes into the kitchen and turns on the exhaust fan. It's usually because he wants to pull the heat out but I always assume the worst.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week.

She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
