Its the end of a carefree day , a day for relaxing , a day for remembering fallen heroes and those that are still fighting for our freedom. Its Memorial Day..
Woke up early today with a smile on my face, anticipating the day ahead of me. Woke sleeping beauty from her dreams and out of her comfy little bed. We showered up , got dressed and went out to face the world. The family picnic wasn't for another 3 hours so Subway was our lunch of choice. Her eyes were bigger than her belly thou when she said " mommy I want a footlong sub!". I tried to reason with her , telling her how'd we would soon eat at the picnic but there was just no talking my sweetheart out of her footlong. Of course just as I had suspected... it was way too much food. After our subway pre-party snacking , we still had some time to kill so we shopped around walmart for a bit and each got a new shirt. Wow how the time flies when you are having fun trying clothes on , only 15 minutes remained before the picnic. Now off to one final stop to pick up something that would resemble picnic food or our so called cover dish. Pepperoni Rolls!!! I figured they'd do in a pinch. While I was at the store I picked up some BBQ sauce for the house ; a great deal too! I only paid 1.38 for two .18 oz bottles of sweet baby rays BBQ sauce. Sale price was 1.19 each but I had a coupon for $1 off two...getting one for .19 cents was just awesome!! Later I would stop to get my free hot dogs too back at walmart . Sale price 1.00 for 16 oz pack of Bar-S hot dogs and I had a coupon for $1 off 2 making one pack free for me . Awesome again but I'm getting off track ..couponing and great deals excite me.!!
Alright its finally party time !!! My daughter and I were ready for some good food, music , great conversations with family and to kick back to relax. Looking around I soon realized I had forgot something ..uh I was supposed to bring chairs for us. This was the first downfall.No biggie we'll just have to stand to eat or steal someone Else's chair. Ha Ha my sweetheart was pretty good at that too. Every time someone got up close to her she would steal their seat for a short bit. NO MUSIC? What ..are you kidding me ? Whats a party without music? Boring ...that's what it was! so that was the second downfall . The gnats were bad but the heat was worse. Third downfall..
Points worth mentioning : I did get to meet my brothers new girlfriend , she seems really nice . I talked with some other family that I hadn't seen in awhile . I didn't over eat and that's great since I am trying to lose weight. :)
Last but not least ..my daughter and I took a walk to see the cross . Its a very long walk but worth it. This cross is a top a mountain , stands 68 feet tall > is just breathe taking !
It was a great day !!
