My left eye is crying
Apparently, there is something in my life that is making me half sad because my left eye is crying. My right eye seems to be perfectly happy...jovial even. But the left eye is weeping for some unknown anguish or torture that it forgot to tell me about. I'm so thankful my right eye can still keep its happy demeanor considering it lives so very close to my tormented left eye. It must be a very strong eye. I'm proud for it to live on my face.

She's on the roof and can't get down
My only remaining grandmother died Friday night. She was 91. Her brother who is 93, attended the funeral and made some pretty witty jokes. I found him fascinating. I was also told not to cross him because he'd cuss me if I didn't watch out. As I sat in the foyer of the funeral home, cousin #1 demonstrated to the crowd the way my great uncle enjoyed flipping people off as he drove his car. The great uncle seemed perfectly harmless to me, but...yeah, I've heard the stories. The other four cousins were in attendance as well. As far as I could tell, none of the cousins seemed to be talking to...
If patience is a virtue...
...then there aren't many virtuous people in this house.
This month at church, the grade school kids are learning about the virtue of patience. To help them grasp this concept, the kids were given an airhead. You know this candy right? Anyway, they were given an airhead with a label attached to it that said...
Do Not Open Until May 31st!
Patience - "Waiting Until Later For What You Want Now."
Even though Pateriko isn't in grade school, he got an airhead too. Sadly, by the time we made it to the car, it had been opened and partly consumed. Litkia held onto hers and made faces at him...
It's 5:00 somewhere...but not here.
I was sitting in the now infamous car line, waiting not so patiently for the youngest of my offspring to grace me with her presence. Pateriko whispered to me (as if anybody else could hear him) "Mama, that lady is drinking a beer".
Beej: What lady?
Pateriko: That lady in the car right there. *points to the shiny pearl colored Ford Thunderbird parked beside us*
Beej: No way.
Pateriko: You just wait and watch.
Lady: *Lifts her can of Bud Light to her mouth with her well manicured hand as she mumbles something to herself*
Beej: No way.
Pateriko: Isn't that illegal?
Beej: ...
