Why Blog Friends Are the BEST

1. They don't complain about your dog.
2. They won't gossip about how crazy you are to all their neighbors.
3. Even if they do, it's not your neighbors so it doesn't matter.
4. They don't borrow your shovel and forget to return it.
5. They won't judge you for your messy house.
6. You can tell them ANYTHING.
7. They make you laugh.
8. You know you always have a place to stay someplace in Texas.
9. There's always a hope they will someday come and see you.
10. No dishes to return.

I love you, ladies!
Scott does, too. 
He'll have his filter back in place by the time Tonia comes to see me.

I hope.

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off.
