Thoughts on Friday

1. We are in the midst of a "something every day" streak. And I am exhausted just thinking about it. Truly. So bear with me here. Most of them are fun things. Good things. Spiritual things. So it's good. I just have to get myself mentally prepared for it all you know?

2. If you are a super crunchy mama please just ignore this next bit here okay? Deal? McDonald's is taking the cheeseburger Happy Meal off the menu. I read the article so I realize that you can still order it, it just won't be listed on the menu. But seriously. What the heck? We have come a long long way with C and his eating but for a long time a McDonald's cheeseburger was the only meat that he would eat. It is his special thing and that is what he likes. So I am super annoyed that it's going to be a special order (that will probably cost more) now. Then while they were at it, the took the two cheeseburger meal away too. What do they have against the cheeseburger?

3. The news out of Florida is horrific right? Yes? We can all agree. It just makes me sick to my stomach that my first reaction on Wednesday was to research the online public school in our state and looked at when an information session would take place. I hate that my reaction is fear.

Here's the thing, I don't consider myself anti-gun. Do you want to go hunting? Great! Go hunting. Do you feel the need to have a hand gun just in case? I don't personally share that sentiment but you do you I guess. However I have a hard time understanding why any general citizen has a need for a military grade weapon. I don't have the answers but I am at my breaking point of waiting around for something to change.A guy tried to bomb a plane with his shoes. Now we all take off our shoes. Somebody with a lot more power than I have should be able to do something.

4. The Olympics. Here's the thing. I love the Olympics. I love them. But my heart is just not into it right now. Maybe it's because they aren't on when my kids can watch really. I don't know. I am happy for these athletes. And skeleton still freaks me out. But I am not getting the same thrill I usually do.

5. I saw this on Facebook. I liked it. I am going to put it here.

6. My kids have a play date today. I am dropping them off and my friend is driving them home! Other than being ever so slightly nervous since this is M's first drop off playdate since she's been potty trained I am kind of excited. I am going to use my free time to... take a shower and dry my hair.

7. Because tonight I am going to a concert with my bestie. We are going to see Lonestar and hang out with the cowboys. It should be a hoot. (Please appreciate my lack of "Amazed" comments and puns.)
