Flexible Friday #14
More Drinking, Yodeling & SAT Prep

Friday, September 19, 2008 By Sherra

Only because the girls got free tickets from the local radio station and not because we didn’t see enough drunk people last week to last a lifetime…

We actually headed back to the same venue for another country music concert.

Call me crazy.

Go ahead.

Most of my family does. I’m getting used to it.

This concert featured Brad Paisley, Jewel and Chuck Wicks.

Wizzy got to bring a friend this time and they had special neon t-shirts from the radio station that made a real fashion statement.

Note the bag on the right edge of the photo.

Everything went well and we all had a great time. Except for the moment when a very, very intoxicated girl fell on top of my bag and on our blanket.

The girls were stunned and held back their laughter because of the disgusted look on my face and until the drunk girl’s friend dragged her a few feet away where she fell again.

Oh yeah, alcohol looks like a lot of fun.

Another one of those teaching moments for us.

One other thing I could have done without…

Jewel yodeling.

I can’t make this stuff up.

I don’t ever want to hear that again.

Side note: Wizzy invited this particular girlfriend as her dad just left for Iraq on Sunday and she thought going to the concert might cheer her up.
Please send up a prayer for her family and all the other soldiers’ families.
You know how I feel about them.

*******************

On a totally unrelated note, we took the girls to a College Fair on Wednesday night and the next day this book was carelessly left on the kitchen island.

Did they really listen to something I suggested?

Be still my heart.

It was a proud moment.

I’m sure they’re planning to study all weekend and in every spare moment until the test date so they can take the SAT again and raise their scores.

I’m planning to wear an apron and serve them healthy snacks while they study.

If any of the aforementioned actually happens, I’ll be sure to have PhilBillPaul snap a picture or two as proof.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome

Sometimes it’s a whisper,
sometimes it’s a roar…

Life lessons surround us.
The trick is to figure out the lesson.
The gift is to share the lesson.
The bonus is in finding the funny
in the hard lessons.
Let’s laugh and learn together.
