Radioheads and "Pie Day" :)

It's been a Looonnnggg week....worked night shift all this week, and never seemed to get enough sleep, so even though I'm off today, I still feel like I'm not awake,lol.

Took April shopping with a family friend this past Weds, for her to get clothes for the Hawaii trip.  As always, we 'channel surf' about 7 different radio stations while riding in the car, why stick to just one?

So, I come across an Eminem song, and turn it up...April looks at me and lifts an eyebrow and says "seriously,Mom? you Like that?"

I'm like "oh yeah, I like ole Marshall Mathers....he's a Dee-troit boy, gotta love 'em." so April is texting to her friend 'my mom is So weird',lol. 

 after that song, April is surfing stations and comes across Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" and says 'Woo Hoo!' and turns the volume up.  I say to her "April, that song is from back in My day.....I think we are seriously mixed up here, you've got the Mom cranking up the rap song, and the daughter cranking up the oldies." :)

We had a Great time shopping, and she got some Great clothes :)  just need to get a few more odds and ends! and then it's Hello Hawaii for our girl,

(and Hello Rock & Roll and Pro Football Hall of Fame for her parents :)

She had a choir concert Thursday night,and after we got home, she said "oh darn, I meant to ask you to stop so I could get a pie for tomorrow."  I'm like "why in the heck is March 14th 'take a pie to school day?" and she replies "Mom.....3 point 1-4?"

The light dawns,and I'm like...."Oh....Pi day!!" and it just struck me funny, so I started laughing....which started April laughing....so, we're both in the kitchen bent over cracking up so hard that I have tears running down my face. Tony comes in and looks at us, and I manage to finally gasp "gee honey, do you know what tomorrow is? it's Pi day" and then "three point one four" and go off into gales of laughter again. 

He just shook his head and left the kitchen,LOL.

 

Happy Birthday, Sis! :)

Riding with Miss April

I've mentioned before that the dear daughter needs 40 hours of driving time with the 'rents,lol, Before she takes on-the-road driver training at school. (clearly, ha ha, a plan designed to give Me more gray hair?)

In order to help her get the hours, one of the things I try to do when I work 3-11 shift, is to get up at 7 am so she can drive to school that morning, because it's also the only time I see her that day. (and this helps my heart rate in the morning,too!)

So,yesterday was another day I did that (and I ended up working from 3 pm yesterday until 7 am This morning, but that's another story) and while we were on the way to school, we heard sirens in the distance. Turns out, it was a school bus accident:

NOT April's bus, by the way. I Did see the accident and all the rescue/emergency vehicles in the distance when I was driving home after April got out at school, but didn't realize it was an accident With the bus involved until later, when the school system sent out a mass email.

Actually, April does a Good job driving, I even let her drive home from church this past Sunday, on those winding back roads from church .    I think I only used the imaginary brake pedal on the passenger side Twice, which is good, for me,LOL.

 

She leaves for Hawaii in just a few weeks! Can't believe it's finally here! I was looking at the itinerary yesterday, as I was trying to email Dustin's wife about when April might have free time, the band and choir are going to have an Awesome time!!

 

We need to go shopping for some clothes for her!!

6 month update  posted yesterday on their blog, and that reminded me that I hadn't checked in here for awhile

 

.(oh, and sis also has a Birthday, coming up this Friday!!)

Our Wedding 2/28/08

 

Chris and Pam got us a cake as a surprise :)

Woo Hoo! We're Married! :)

Fast Food Follies

So, on the trip to KY, we go up to the drive-thru at a Hardee's.

Tony orders his meal, and the girl asks him" Do you want curly fries with that? or bacon/cheddar fries? or regular fries?"  Tony tells her "curly fries".

He orders my meal, and starts to say "curly fries" and I say "No, wait...I want bacon/cheddar fries." so he tells her "um...make one of those orders, bacon/cheddar fries."

She asks him "Which One?"

The LOOK on Tony's face, of complete and utter astonishment.....his face so Clearly said "what does it Matter, Which order has the bacon/cheddar fries?" coupled with the girl's question...."which one?"

I was bent over double,whooping with laughter, until tears were running down my face.

-----------------

My re-telling of this might not seem as funny as the actual occurrence :) but we now have a new catchphrase in our family,LOL....."Which One?"
