I loved that last post... and I'm American but it was the best laugh I have had today - thank you. "Damn Rebellious Colonies"... the funniest part is my son is watching Star Wars right now so I almost didn't catch the relationship to American/British History - how pathetic of me. But it was still great to get a good laugh.
I really needed one today.
I just got back from taking my son for a picnic in a local park, after we ate we fed the turtles and fish in the lake some stale Chex Snack Mix... then came home and I am back online as he watches Star Wars.
Earlier this morning I mowed my lawn - he weeded my rosebed and watered the plants (he is 10 and trying hard to earn his fireworks money).
Tomorrow night we will go watch the big fireworks display downtown (I'm dreading it but it is what I do as a mom) - it is always crowded, lots of noise, people drinking and then 1/2 hour of fireworks and then chaos as everyone tries to leave at the same time. I am so glad it is only once a year... kinda like Halloween.
My dad and sister may throw some stuff on the grill and invite us but that requires a 30 minutes drive to get to their place - along with all the other crazy vacationers from out of state and drunk locals on the roads.
I really wish I could just stay home.
