May your Monday meals taste better than seashells and sand

Choosing to temporarily forego your waffles, cool whip and blueberry breakfast to read an Insects and Spiders book and have conversations like this with your mom.. What are these, Mama, rollie pollies? Those are maggots.

Conversation from today Caris: Jesus take the wheel ...What does Jesus take the wheel mean? Me: Jesus, take this out of my hands because I can't do it by myself. It's like a prayer. {said quickly and slightly under my breath} ...It's also a song by Carrie Underwood Caris: Can you sing it? Me: {high pitched country voice} Jesus take the wheeeeeeeeeel Take it from my handsssssss [Liza walks into the room blowing up a whoopie cushion] Liza: Can you sing that again?
