Drivel, Drivel,...

everywhere I turn.

Before last week, I can't even tell you when I last read or heard this word.

Now??

It's EVERYWHERE!! I've read it in at least 6 DIFFERENT locations!

What's UP??

SERIOUSLY.

Does this say something about us or the times that I'm missing? Or is it just a coincidence? And, no, I don't believe in coincidences. Therefore, it has to mean something.

Since I can't put my finger on what it means exactly. I propose a synonym replacement, just to give me a little reprieve from all the drivel that's apparently out there.

So, how bout we switch it for blather?

Yeah, that's much better.

Thanks!

How You Know

You know it's been a very cold winter when your daughter wears her flip flops, because it's a warm 50 degrees!

Really??!

50 is the new 70, I guess.

Seriously, I've seen all manner of people dressed in Summer attire with snow still on the ground.

I don't ever recall seeing this before. Sure, in isolated cases, but never to this degree.

This morning in the drop off line I witnessed a little boy get out of his car in short sleeves and shorts . They did forecast a high of upper 60's, but when have they ever been right??

Can you guess what I saw when the next child got out??

A little girl wearing a stocking cap and winter coat. She might have even had gloves on.

Ok, now I'm really confused.

Once Upon a Time...

you could purchase furniture with no down payment, no interest, and no payments for a gazillion years!

Now??

You can purchase furniture and get free GROCERIES!!

What????!

Exactly what does that say about our times???

I'm afraid to know.

The Things Kids Say

Sometimes it's not such a good thing when your 6 year old spouts off with a culturally relevant comment that actually fits the situation.

Last night, I was listening to a new song by Marvin Winans Jr and dancing a little. Yes, I'm a Southern Baptist, and I admit to attempting to dance on occasion.

It's ok. Really.

Anyway, I was in the kitchen and had just given C his nightly dinner staple, a Grilled Cheese, when I decided to let loose a little. C's sitting at the bar, he looks up from his food and at me and proceeds to say, "Ummmm, AWK.WARD!!"

Yeah, it's those kind of things that do a Mama's heart good.

I might have told him to just close his eyes and eat his dinner. And to not ask for any dessert, because he was not getting any.

Yep, probably something like that.
