Boobie!

Today was more eventful than I expected and ended on a somewhat fun note (for old ladies).
I spent what seemed like days in my car driving to my sister's house outside of Dallas. I finally arrived to an empty house to wait for everyone to get home. I ventured out to Sonic because I knew exactly where it was and then needed to find a grocery store to buy food to cook dinner for my sister's fiance and kid. I decided I would just drive until I saw a grocery store...I found Old Navy. After a short detour inside to see their new cute summer clothes, I used my buddy TomTom to find my way back to my sister's. I somehow ended up on the opposite side of town, but thanks to GPS systems, getting lost is not a problem.
I navigated towards home and tried searching for a grocery store again...SUCCESS!
I prepared dinner before a bike ride and hop scotch in the park. My sister's fiance's son, Dylan (who is for all intents and purposes my nephew) began playing tag with Maurice. Maurice is a 4th grader as well who confessed that he should actually be in 5th grade. He didn't know me, but he felt the need to say that he shouldn't really be a 4th grader. Well, you should be if you didn't pass it the first time! While playing tag, I also came to realize that Maurice was wearing blue boxers. I found this out while he was playing tag and his pants fell down to his ankles. The teacher I am yelled at him to pull his pants up.
Another quick bike ride home, I began cooking dinner for fiance and nephew when sister called and said she NEEDED me to come play Bunco with her because they didn't have enough people. She warned me that it's a bunch of old ladies and all I would need to do was roll some dice. I went and rolled dice. I didn't roll dice very well because I won the Boobie prize. Some of you may know that I was the recipient of this award many years ago! This prize was given to the player who LOST the MOST games. I was quite proud of my accomplishment. After I lost a few more, I will admit that I wanted to lose more because I heard of this prize and knew it was the only prize that I had a chance of winning.

After returning home to a whining 9 year old asking, "Where were you? Why did you take so long?" I helped him put together a fun foam treasure chest. He made it just tacky enough to be cute. We then (as a family) tried to have our dogs make friends. Keep in mind that Tiva weighs 15 pounds and their dogs weigh 80 and 60 pounds. Their drool is enough to bathe Tiva in one lick. Tiva is definitely too much of a diva to be touched by those monsters! She even goes on the couch where she "isn't allowed!" She sits on her throne regardless of what anyone tells her!

Tomorrow I'm planning on taking Dylan to school, taking him lunch, visiting his Book Fair, and wasting time driving around. Maybe I'll get lost in another store tomorrow on my way to nowhere!

I love it! I think I should get the boobie prize on game nights. That way I'll be a winner at losing.

Your day sounds like my life - "fun for old ladies" - I love it. Miss you! Come back!
