I love a bargain. Today I did very well. Jana and I hit the mall late this afternoon and went to JC Penney. I didn't expect to buy anything especially since I left my check card in the van at the office and wrote my last check to Candy this morning. But I hit the jackpot. I got Jackson 9 shirts and 5 pairs of shorts and Mackenzie 6 shirts and 6 pairs of shorts for $113.xx. That's an average of $4.35 an item. Not bad said the little birdy.

This morning when I went to get Jackson out of the carseat I discovered he placed his poptart behind him and it was squished all over his shirt and the carseat. Not a pretty site. When we got out of the car I had to take off the shirt. Candy let him borrow one of Chance's while she washed his. I think he was more upset having to take his shirt off then making a mess. That's a first. Tonight he took the broom and dust pan and tried to sweep up the house. He is hysterical. Constantly vacuuming with his vacuum and now sweeping. He'll be my little maid before long.

Kenzie was riding her bike tonight while we were outside and ended up getting hit in the head with a basketball and falling off of her bike onto her knee. I was sitting out front w/ Jackson when all of the sudden I hear this horrible screaming sound. When she gets hurt AND when she's tired it's this awful hysterical shrill. I ran down there and find the neighbors checking on her. One of the dads walked her bike home while she hobbled home. I had already told her not to ride down to where they were playing ball AND I've told her not to ride in people's yards. She didn't follow either of those instructions but how can you yell at a kid who just got hit in the head with a basketball? You can't.

Oh and Jana and I had a tramatizing experience at Cracker Barrel yesterday. Okay, it was much worse for Jana but still it was disgusting. I had a horrible headache and didn't feel good at all. Jana had some migraine medicine and was going to bring it to me and some lunch. When she called nothing sounded good except for Cracker Barrel and she said she'd meet me there. So we go in and first of all they were out of Coke. Who runs out of Coke? I asked the waitress "How in the world does someone run out of Coke?". I assumed she knew it was a rhetorical question but no, she had to offer an answer. Then when I asked Jana if I should get the meatloaf of shrimp she answered for Jana. Okay, I digress. So we get our food and all is fine and dandy. Jana is eating the salad part of her fried chicken salad. She eats a bite of chicken and then inspects the rest of it. She asks me to take a look at it. It was raw on the inside!!!!! It was so freaking nasty!!! She had eaten raw chicken. I touched the inside to make sure that it was raw and it was. Still that warm chicken feeling. Gross. I go and get a manager and he finally comes out and I take him to our table and show him. He offers her whatever she wants but there was no way she could eat anything from there. I told him to take my food away b/c there was no way I could eat after that.

So it was gross. I have a feeling we won't be eating there for a long long time if ever again!
