Now, you REALLY didn't think I'd tell you how old she is, did you?
Yes! She got a job! My darling daughter who promised me that if she got a car, she would get a job and pay for insurance and gas. That was 3 months ago!
In her defense, do you know how hard it is for 16 year old to find a job? If you are 16, your name goes to the bottom of the list. Also, there is no more personal contact when going to apply for jobs. Usually you run into a "Marge" type person. Marge would be the gum chewing lady with the beehive hairdo, pencil and all, that doesn't look up when speaking and basically tells you "You must apply on-line."
J has done her share of "applying on-line". I encouraged her to go in, find the manager, tell them you applied on-line, and ask them directly if they are hiring. I always got the same answer-"XYZ just applied on-line and they called her/him!" Kids! Thanks to SuZan's son G2, he hooked us up. He told us when and who to talk to. I told J. Even better-I told J this information in front of SuZan and Big G. It really does take a village to raise kids. J thinks she can blow me off; but she was too afraid to let SuZan and Big G down. So she went, she saw, and she conquered!
Hopefully this will encourage son #1 to find a job!

J & C all ready to go! Believe it or not, it was warm enough to jump in the pool! 
My son M and his date N. No, my son and daughter and their dates don't travel together. In fact, most people don't know that they are brother & sister!
The Boys. No other explanation needed!
Hummer Limo. My ass has never been in regular Hummer. Let alone a Hummer Limo!
And this is how they were able to afford the Hummer. The squeezed as many as possible inside and shared the cost. My son being the, um-man that he is, left the tickets to the dance in his truck. Big G tried to break in to his truck so that I could get the tickets and meet him at the dance. If you ever want a truck that is burglar proof-buy a Chevy Pick-up. Michael ended up having the limo drop everyone off at the dance after dinner, then bring him and his date to his truck to get the tickets, then back to the dance. That was pretty smart considering they had the limo based on time, not distance. He thoroughly enjoyed having the limo to himself!
Hopefully I didn't bore you too much. SuZan got took a great video of the boys breaking through the sign before the game. Hopefully we can get that posted later! Until then, stay dry Houston!
Sometimes life in Stepford is kinda fun!
See, we told you we would make you smile.
The other stuff...if you can concentrate now :)
Mercedes had to go in and have surgery and she came out just fine. She had her "goodie box" taken out and they had to go back and remove a claw that was trying to grow back. You can tell when the pain meds kick in because she turns into a kitten and runs around the house then drops and purrs.
We don't shut Zeus up in the crate any more because he can unzip it; he loves it though and does sleep in it when we go to bed. But...here is what happens when someone leaves the bathroom door open at night when everyone is suppost to be sleeping:
Yes we had margaritas...it wasn't the most productive evening but it was fun!
The boys are still kicking butt as they are now 5-0. They are ranked #10 in Texas! Now if I can do something about the photographer and make me (opps) her stop shaking the damn camara when I (opps) she clicks...
Go Bobcats!

We know we are late but ya'll aready know that life just gets in the way sometimes. Without further delay we both agreed that this month's Blog Pick should be Southern Fried Girl.
Southern Fried Girl lives in New Orleans, Louisiana and is married to a firefighter. She has two step-children, a dog named Gage and two cats, Reba and Hoss. We love that she challenged herself to read at least 50 books this year and last we checked she'll blow that goal out of the water (she has reviews #46 and #47 posted).
10 things about SFG by SFG
1) I am actually a super nice girl who comes off as such a fucking bitch.
2) Since knowing my cute FIL, I now recognize how fucking hilarious and cute most old men are.
3) I hope I really get over some things, but I don't see it coming any time soon.
4) I like my pets more than most people.
5) I believe in God.
6) I wish I could lose at leat 20 lbs.
7) It took me being broken up from the hubs for 3 years for me to realize that he was the one for me.
8) I really admire my Father. He is a pain in the ass, but works hard and expects others to do the same..
9) I really can't wait to be pregnant.
10) I am thankful for my life.
What we love about Southern Fried Girl is that she expresses herself much like many of us wish we would. We would say that "Straight talk" is a good description of her style. She also plays "Stuff Portrait Friday"; "Waste of Space Monday"; "Way Back Wednesday"; and "Fug Thursday". With her quick wit, dry sense of humor, and keyboard in hand...she can make us laugh (until we pee our pants), cry, and ponder the thought that "gee, I've felt that way before". So thank you Southern Fried Girl for putting it all out there for us. For this we celebrate you!
So go over and say hello to SFG and help us celebrate:

Blog Pick of the Month
Labels: Blog Pick of the Month
I picked this representation of a label because sometimes I can wear my emotions on my sleeve. I try to be cool and maintain a flat affect but it just doesn’t happen. As you can probably guess, I’m not that great at poker. 
This one was so easy! Like Mama Duck, (who introduced me to the phrase “Targasm”) I am crazy about Target. The sight of that red bull’s-eye just gets me salivating, when I tell Big G that I’m off to Tarr-gget, he starts having heart palpitations…and we will just leave it at that.Labels: SPF
