Day 3

Today was busy. Gizmo the MIL and I went to a town with a Walmart (30 minutes) to get some things. As usual, we stopped be Grandy’s for some sweet tea. Yummmm! Gizmo was an angel for the trip. He carried items at the store for me, put them in the cart and smiled while doing it. I like this side of him. I hope it stays! We stopped by a few yard sales on the way back home to the country and scored a $20 very nice TV for my MIL’s preschool class, a $10 soccer goal for Smarty (very big and he loves it!), a $5 box of clothes and toys and a few $2 decor items. For about $40 you can’t complain! I love used stuff! It has much more character than new. It also has less China smell. I also got to drive my FIL’s big red tuck to go get the goal later and I had to rig a way for it to fit because I forgot tie downs. I had a cable from the earlier mentioned TV and a thick string from a random pool thermometer in the back of the truck and two small sand bags. I am sure I am a relative of McGuyver. I can do anything I need or want regardless of my supplies...unless I get hungry, hungry is my Kryptonite. I get weak and sweaty. I must have caloric intake to drive on. Luckily, I had a granola bar before this crisis and we were able to bring home the goods. We had a family swim at the request of Smarty and later began a “debate” on religion. I don’t debate religion because you can’t. You believe what you believe, that’s good enough for me. That’s my motto. It is a debate to those who don’t believe that (my motto). I will let you all know what religion I am when I find it. As of now I am Non-Denominational and I have never pushed my beliefs on others and don’t plan ever to do so. That is what a cult is. I am too intelligent and opinionated to be in one. Leader here. Followers are lame. Whatever was very upbeat sounding on the phone today. I always enjoy when he is in a good mood. He is funny and clever. It reminds me why I feel in love with him. He makes me love him more when he is gone. It’s like we are dating and we have all good things to do and say. I need to send him off every other year. Perfect marriage! Ta-Da!
