Hey, It's Okay Tuesday...

Hey, It's Okay...

to dress your wiener dogs up for Halloween and to be really excited to have already found their costumes at TJMaxx last week... a shark and a fairy princess. This is gonna be good.  


to turn the volume all the way up on the stereo when you're driving alone in your car and proceed to sing at the top of your lungs even if your singing does sound an awful lot like one of the reject contestants from the first week of American Idol. I do recommend turning it down a notch before doing things like picking up your kids from school or pulling up at a funeral.  Just a suggestion though.  


to get a call from your neighbors informing you that your two male offspring have just set your mailbox on fire and being relieved to find out that it was only a smoke bomb.


to admit that 7th grade math homework is over your head. 


to secretly be a big fan of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books and movies and to actually be enjoying reading through them for the second time with your 8 year old.  

to dig your phone/blackberry out of your bag to check the time and get sidetracked checking emails and put it back in without ever checking the time and then digging it out again and then doing the same thing 2 or 3 more times before remembering to actually look at the time!  


to just say no to fashion trends you don't like, like loafers that look like they belong on a man or faux fur vests and jackets.  Eww.


to eat ice cream every day.  


to constantly catch yourself saying "back when" things to your kids like, "Back when I was in school we didn't have the internet to do our research.  We actually had to go to the library and look things up." and "Back when I was a kid we didn't have cell phones.  We had to get out of the car and put money into a phone inside a booth at the gas station if we needed to make a call." 


to not really give two cents about football even when you live in a small town in the south where it is pretty much considered a crime and a sin if you do not get all pumped up about some Friday night football.
