Then she looked at them and wondered why she used a fake smile all night....<br />2. We have eaten bbq at the county youth fair while sitting in the sale barn for years, but they always spread fresh wood chips before the auction, so it doesn't smell bad. I would not want to eat a real meal that way, especially in a restaurant! The whiff you got when the door opened wasn't horrible. Too horrible.<br />3-4. That's why we're the best preschool in town :)<br />5. I think very little money from the sale of pink crap ever goes to breast cancer awareness or research non-profits. But the volleyball team raising money for an actual cause is awesome. And that they keep honoring me is sweet. Embarrassing, but sweet (I don't like all those people looking at me).<br />You did your best with the number thing.<br />I hope poor Fletch gets better without need for further testing. Because, as David says, there is a limit to how much we are going to spend. What do you suppose a cat ultrasound costs?!<br />He has actually had to do some laundry at school, since he hasn't been home since he left, so he really had very little. Didn't start it until after lunchtime today, however.<br />I haven't slept through the night since my surgery two and a half years ago. Lying there, awake, and counting all the things that hurt is not the equivalent to counting sheep. Here's to Aleve!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-19576581083867602652014-10-12T21:56:29.792-05:002014-10-12T21:56:29.792-05:00Since I married a MO boy it would be wrong for me ...Since I married a MO boy it would be wrong for me to call them all stupid.

With diet coke. And hot tamales.<br /><br />Farmer Tami is the best! I wish you could hear her talk to the kids about pumpkins! And yes, yay for pink night.

The cat is not faring so well. He HATES the medicine he has to take for the next 10 days or so, and it's really a minute amount. And allegedly, it tastes like chicken, but I'm not going to try it to find out. Ruby likes it; she licked up the medicine that spilled on the floor when I tried to give it to him. And it was really sweet of them to honor me; they did a big thing for me last year, so I wasn't expecting anything this time - it was a real surprise!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-15255570729391867492014-10-12T21:35:22.939-05:002014-10-12T21:35:22.939-05:00I have never cooked a real pumpkin.

My dad had a farm supply store for over 30 years (and it was my grandpa's for about 15 years before that), so it smells like perfume to me.

I am so glad you said something about the glass between you and the rodeo. I would never eat there without the glass. I actually start gagging when we walk around the state fair and see the farmers eating in the animal barns. Ugh. I'm gagging now just thinking about it.<br />3 and 4. You all do such fun things with the preschoolers.<br />5. I admit, I get annoyed beyond belief about all of the pink in October. The football players and the gobs of pink things for sale. It just seems like a bunch of companies trying to make money. That being said, I like it when it is personal, and a volleyball team does it for certain people they know and love.<br />I lost count, and I'm tired of scrolling through all the comments to figure out the numbering, so no more numbers.<br />Sorry to hear about the cat. I hope the dear boy feels better without the need for you to spend lots of money.<br />It's got to be good to have both the kids home, even if it means a lot of laundry.<br />Oh I hope that Aleve keeps working for you. I'm sorry you're up so much at night. I don't often sleep through either, so I know what it's like. Waking up because you are in pain is horrible.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-4238210157534235472014-10-12T18:14:37.880-05:002014-10-12T18:14:37.880-05:00Like, HOW am I only here now!

And SO glad you made it safely through the rain.<br /><br />YAY for Farmer Tami and your 'mums :) and for the pink volleyball match, and Fletcher having a diagnosis (poor sod).<br /><br />But dude, that restaurant...it's a rodeo AND a steakhouse? Whadda they do, rope the calves and then just chuck them on the grill? GOOD GRIEF!
