Who would think that a Grandmother and a six year old could completely defeat Won.der Wo.man? Yes, your girl 1969 is beat.
After spending the weekend in Harrisburg, PA at an extremely *ahem* interesting wedding. (The first dance was to H-Town “Knoc.kin D.a Bo.ots” and that’s all I’m saying to protect the parties involved.)
We returned on Sunday and I was battling a cold. A bad cold. I took a whole bunch of over the counter cold stuff and ended up not being able to sleep. I probably slept two good hours last night.
My mom arrived at 10 am and we hit the ground running. She had us out shopping all day. Granted, we got most of our back to school shopping done and since she was feeling happy with her credit card…I didn’t argue at all.
She also took us to lunch and we enjoyed the break. Unfortunately, she had the bright idea to pick up Tali 2 early from daycare to join in the fun. One shopping Grandma, TWO TALI’S and a cold fighting, drug induced 1969 could only lead to one thing….TOTAL EXHAUSTION.
We took the boys out for ice cream, bought some school shoes and sneakers.
When we came home around 6pm. I whipped up a turkey meatloaf, roasted potatoes and green bean dinner. As they ate, I sat there so exhausted, I didn’t even have the energy to eat what was on my plate.
Was she done? Oh no….we rounded up the troops and headed back out to Tarzhay for a few last minute items like underwear and socks.
You can see what that resulted in right?
I may not make it a whole week. Pray for me.

Girl….she is a one woman wrecking crew. Tali 1 at one point wailed “Nana, you like to shop a LOT. Can we go home now?”
It was so sad.

Dang, the Talis looked drugged. Get it Grandma! Oh you just whipped up some Turkey meatloaf like it was nothing, Wonder Woman? I want to be like you when I grow up. So is she going to spoil them and leave them there with you to de-program?

I am just amused because everyone in my house is knocked out right now and snoring and my azz is on the computer wide awake…but totally exhausted.
y…meatloaf is easy. Throw everything in a bowl, mix and stick it in the oven. No work.

You are a wonder woman. My family would’ve been fending for themselves for dinner while I was in a drug-induced coma. Your kids are so cute all knocked out in the car. Tali 1 looks like he’s about 12 years old.

You didn’t learn from Pedro Martinez…you can’t sleep on older people or they’ll hem you up. You see how Pedro put Zimmer down. Everytime I see my mother I’m looking for weak points….just in case.

Is your Mom ready for round two today? I think you will have to load up on vitamins and cold medicine during your Mom’s whole visit.

Ha. If you weren’t driving, you might have been knocked out like the boys! Wonder Woman needs rest, too!
H-Town… *sigh* Did I ever tell you that a close family member (ahem, my sister) came into the reception hall to “Let’s Get Married (the Remix)” w/ the hiphop beat… And that they danced to “Feelin’ On Your Booty”?! Mmhmm. Interesting indeed.

Stop it! Knockin’ the boots??? That’s just wrong on sooo many levels!
Hope you’re feeling better. Eat some garlic cloves if you’re not. They work wonders and it sounds like you’re gonna need all the energy you can use to keep up with Wonder Woman 2.0!

There are days when I want to do what the Talis did. I don’t blame them. Get well, 1969.

Wow, those are some handsome sons you have! I literally LOL’d at the picture of the poor baby just about falling out of the carseat with exhaustion.
When somebody is whippin’ out the credit card on your behalf, hey, ya gotta go!
