In a little town called Nampa...there was a Starbucks with two crazy baristas! I mean CRAZY! It was like you couldn't go in the Starbucks without leaving with a tummy ache from laughing so hard. Well...that is if the two twin crazies were working. Today...they were!
I went in for my regular morning coffee...I do this every morning and it is delicious, but today...when I got my coffee I think these crazy baristas put something in it. I couldn't stop laughing and having fun the whole time I was there...and it was like I was STUCK in the chair! CRAZY right?!
Then they even tried to cast their craziness on my hubby...trying to "set the mood" with a make shift candle out of a sample cup, stir stick and whipped cream. Also a delicious venti ice water with TWO...yes TWO straws! They were pulling out all their skillz!
Thankfully after hours...literally...I was able to pull away and come home. I will have to be careful next time they are working together! Maybe wear my stunna shades! :)
Ashley and Jess...you two are pretty awesome baristas! Lol!

Raising an "almost" teen boy...
I am not afraid to say, "I have no idea what I am doing!"
My son will be thirteen in November. He is definitely changing...in many ways! He now has a two-piece mustache growing...meaning some on each side of his upper lip. Lol! I am not ok with him shaving yet, but I am sure it's needed soon. I just don't want him to grow up. Waahh! His voice is changing...squeaking and sounding like a man and a boy in the same sentence, he is taller than me...yes I know that doesn't take much, but trying to tell him to do something while looking up at him is a bit less scary for him I am sure. These things I am able to deal with so far, but another change...I am not ready for!
Yes, I am sure you know what I mean! He is a boy! It seems to me that kids are more curious and at such a young age these days. I don't want to be too hard on him or too easy. I want him to come to me and not feel embarrassed to ask questions. I am sure it would be easier to talk to Jed about, but Gage and I have always had a very close relationship and him and Jed can really butt heads at times. Don't get me wrong...Jed's trying. Gage is just a VERY stubborn boy.
I just hope that how we have raised him and how we have always been very open and honest with him, he will choose the right path to go down whenever he is met with an uncomfortable choice to make.
I sure hope my many talks about how hard I had it being a teen mom and doing it on my own, giving up my education for a full time job, having to grow up and miss out on so many opportunities so young will stick somewhere in his head. I have told him many times that if he makes the same mistake...gets a girl pregnant...I will NOT let him be a deadbeat dad. He WILL work and help support that baby and have it over to keep him up during the night! He will not just simply walk away.
Gage truly is a wonderful and sweet young man and I know if Jed and I continue trying our hardest he will turn out a wonderful man someday. It's just getting through these next few, sure to be crazy years.
Then we have a teenage girl to deal with! That...will be oh so fun! NOT!

P.S...
Does anyone else feel important when they hear the *click* *click* of the keyboard as they type? I do! I love it!
That is all! :)

Re-Inspired to blog...
I woke up this morning to about 4 texts from my older sister, Jennifer...aka...Sissy, telling me she had started a blog last night and wanted me to read it. After about 20 minutes of trying to track down said blog I read her first two entries.
First off...wow she can write. I don't consider myself a great writer and if you have read many of my blogs I break a lot of "writing" rules, but I have been told by a few people that they love they way I write and really enjoy reading my stuff. That is how I feel about hers. I just love reading what she writes.
On another note, we haven't had the best childhoods. Reading her blog opened my eyes to how it was for her growing up before me...she is ten yrs older and to hear some of what she went through before I came into the family was hard to read.
I love my Sissy so much...we didn't really get to have much of a relationship growing up. Being ten years younger there's not a lot we had in common and when she was 18 she moved away. I saw her here and there through the years, but no real relationship. That is not until now. I am so grateful that I DO have her in my life now and for the past few years. It's been wonderful!
So after reading her blog it just made me want to write again. So...here I am. Don't know how much I will be blogging or what about, but I just feel like writing.
So, thank you Sissy for re-inspiring to write/blog! :)
