Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker
Joining in Friday Fragments. Head on over and meet Mrs. 4444′s newest family member. Way too cute!
I sure am glad I am able to update this morning! Yesterday WordPress had an update and there was a conflict somewhere and I could not get to my admin page to update. It bothered me ALL day. I was too tired to try and figure it out last night, I am not too versed in FTP, and all the inner workings of my blog! This morning I woke up early and headed right to the computer and Go Daddy had a patch! Thank you Go Daddy!
We are getting an awesome storm right now. The rain hasn’t started, but thunder, wind and lightning. I love storms, especially at night or early morning! We won’t talk about the rest of the weather today, my post title should be enough!

It is Friday, I still have today and tomorrow to work, then off for two,. Then I get to work SEVEN in a row, leading up to a five day mini vacation. I will be working on July 4th. It’s my Mom’s birthday, but it is a Wednesday, and we can celebrate at dinner, or on the weekend! She will be 88, so I personally celebrate every day I have with her!
We had a pretty quiet week here. Tara continues her sleep over marathons! She actually went to Viki’s house the other night! I don’t mind the girls being here, but it is nice for a break!
Do you have a Bottom Dollar Food store in your area? I did a quick stop shopping the other day when the girls were at the movies. I was impressed. A bag of dog food that I buy from time to time, was $2.50 cheaper than what I normally pay! Just that is worth the trip that is a little out of my normal travels for the grocery store!
Tara wants to see Magic Mike. She LOVES Channing Tatum. I must admit, I do too! Yes, I know it is rated “R”, but we will probably see it. She’s 15 going on 21, and I have no problem allowing her to see it. I mean, she wants to go with ME not her friends!

This week’s statements:
1. Tara makes me laugh most of the time. She can be trying, but some times she is just too funny.
2. Sometimes family troubles makes me sad. One family member continues to struggle with their demons. We all feel so helpless.
3. My hair looks terrible after I sleep! My hair is really short…. some mornings I look like I have a mohawk when I wake up.
I was horrified when I ran into the paper guy at 3:30 the other morning when I was out with the dog.
4. When I hear wind and thunder I am happy. I love a good storm (see above!)
I think that is it for now. It’s not been a very eventful week. Again!
Thanks A-LATTE for stopping by. I sure wish I had a latte. I’m out of creamer!

My mom would have been 80 on the 25th, she died at 59. So I have a hard time imagining what she would be like. I love what you wrote about your mom and celebrating each day!
The movie, no thanks…I am curious to see the reviews though. Channing Tatum was on our local (Chicago) news last week, and he was entertaining and self-deprecating. I liked him!
I saw the preview for Magic Mike last night and got a little sad that my mom lives too far away for us to see it together, but I’m not sure I would’ve felt that way at 15.
Have a great time at the movies with your daughter!

Family troubles are really hard to deal with. It’s so hard to see someone you love struggle.
It is frustrating when we feel helpless.
Enjoy your storm and stay safe

I love a good storm too. There is something very primal about it.

Send some of that storm our way – - – we need it for our brown crunchy grass.

Er, you might want to check how much of Tatum you will see. I don’t know myself – haven’t seen the reviews.
We need rain too!

We had those storms a couple of weeks ago here in Florida! Although, we needed the rain, not that fast! Lots of flooding here! My mama is 88 and I cherish every day with her too!
Family troubles I understand….and it’s awful to have a loved one (my son) who battles demons!

I love a good storm at night when I am trying to fall asleep… In the morning when I drive to work, not so much!

wait, hold up….Magic Mike is male dancers? I thought it was a sports movie or something. How’d I miss that? there’s gotta be a trailer on the web somewhere……
we have one family member who has…”issues” too. it’s hard to cope with and hard to watch someone you care about go through all that too. very conflicting.
love a rainy, stormy night too.
off to google

I’ve been seeing this Magic Mike business everywhere. I finally took the time today to check out the trailer and It wasn’t anything like I imagined. Actually, I couldn’t really imagine what it was about. Made me chuckle.
I’m a short-haired chick so I understand what you mean with the morning hair-do… sometimes I wake up just fine. Other days, I have to do an emergency spray down!
Nice to meet you by the way, visiting for the first time!

My hair also looks terrible after I sleep. Like something nested in it. Pony tail holders on the bed post is my secret.
I love a good storm, too! (We all do at my house, though my new puppy does not appreciate going potty outside when it’s pouring!)
Can you imagine life without Tara?!So happy you both still like each other enough to hang out together; that’s a blessing.
Kendall went to Magic Mike with a friend last night. She said it was “Awesome!” I had no idea what it’s about until a minute ago, when you inspired me to watch the trailer. It actually does look good, and they eye candy….!
