Here are some terms you may need to know if you drop by on any given Wednesday...
go-to meal [go too meel] n 1 : any meal that, when served, has a magical power to shut off the complaint department of all three children's brains (perhaps even prompting second serving requests from more than one source) 2 : the one dinner I serve per week that consists of BBQ chicken pizza and "fruit soup"
fruit soup [froot soop] n 1 : the best summer side dish or dessert consisting of every kind of berry available (and a good peach if you're so inclined), powdered sugar, and cream 2 : mmmmm...heaven
crappuccino [crap a chi no] n 1 : what I say when Ty asks me to help him set up new technologically advanced entertainment equipment 2 : what I whisper as I help heft a television of mammoth proportions (were mammoths 50" diagonally?) onto its wall mount 3 : what I say under my breath when my head hurts from trying unsuccessfully to translate user's guide jargon into English
(And yes, I know you're jealous of my sleek and stylish entertainment unit. Get in line.)
freakify [freek a fy] vb 1 : to cause the mother to freak out by demolishing new, not-even-24-hours-old-yet DVD player; esp : fit to be tied by means of two-year old
...well, hopefully not ANY given Wednesday. Let's pray for better Wednesdays ahead.

Holy Frappe! That 's a huge t.v unit. Let me know when the next sleep-over will be (when Ty goes hunting) so we can watch WNTW on the big screen!
Did Jr. really break your DVD player? Ooooh. Agony.
This post is very clever. I like it a latte.
OH man! Sorry to hear about your new DVD player...covered by warranty perhaps?? Great post. I loved the pictures that went with it!
I have been wanting to increase my vocabulary. This shall increase my verbiage exponentially. I can’t wait to say “Oh. . . crappuccino!”
I have had fruit and cream but I have yet to add powdered sugar! I shall try it post haste! I am ecstatic to see a post from you!
I eagerly await, on pins and needles, each new post – no pressure!
I really needed some delicioso meal ideas for summer...I am really struggling with what to cook lately. For instance, what did my poor children get served today for meals?
Breakfast: I honestly can't remember what I decided to feed them. We must've reached for the cold cereal because I was feeling seriously uninspired.
Lunch: Well, since church starts at 12:30, we had a very rushed conglomerate of the only food I could produce in 2 minutes (I had just entered our house moments earlier from a meeting.) My children ate a gourmet meal of cheese sandwiches (toasted under the broiler) and oranges.
Dinner: Fend for yourself. whatever they want...whatever their father was willing to make them. NOTHING sounded good or doable...I have the serious blues when it comes to food prep.
I feel I have lost touch with the blogging world. But I am too sick to care right now. So sick in fact that both of those normally mouthwatering dishes you speak of make my stomach churn. But I am not too sick to remember how freakin (a variation of freakify) clever you are. And so sad I cannot make it on the 18th. I will be in Utah. But right now I just want to be in bed. We will have to further discuss a trip when I regain the ability to process and retain thoughts (of course, I barely had that ability before getting sick sooooo).
sumtymes eye rede yor posts and fill so dum! U enspyre me to rite bedder!
I'm not sure if I've ever told you this, but I love reading your blog; you really are so clever! It always makes me smile!
