I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about school was recess.  Finally, a break in the day where you could talk to your friends and giggle about boys.  It was a time when you could actually chase your crush around the playground.  It was a time for 4-square, hopscotch, the monkey bars and fun.  As you get older recess goes away, and all you are faced with is work.  So what would make the workday go better?  Recess of course.

What do you do when you are sitting at your desk and you get a sudden case of the munchies?  I know it happens daily for me.  I have breakfast before I leave for work, then at 10am the munchies hit, then around noon I usually eat my brought from home lunch and then the munchies hit again around 2pm.  It happens every single day.  It's as if I am not eating enough protein at breakfast or lunch.  Do you ever find yourself with the workday munchies.

I'm all for a good perfume.   I love shopping for perfumes, trying the different scents.  Don't get me wrong I don't go to the perfume counter and douse myself.  I try the perfumes on the sample sticks then if I really like it I will try it on my wrist, walk around for about 20 minutes and if it mixes well with my body chemistry I have found a new perfume.  I don't mind sampling, but I think I would mind swallowing my perfume.

As a mom, I find myself getting up at the same time every single day including the weekends.  It is inevitable that on a Saturday morning my son will come running into my room with the sun.  It is very rare that I get to sleep past 7:30am on the weekends.  What I wouldn't give to sleep in at least once per month.

Well today was officially Back To School Day.  Lots of kids returning to school.  I must admit mine isn't at the school age yet.  He will start kindergarten next year, but he was moving classes at his day care at that had him nervous.  I told him that it was an adventure and that most of his friends were moving with him.  He was nervous because he loved his teacher.   How was Back To School in your family?

Am I dreaming?  Could this be true?  Cheaper gas prices could be coming by the end of the summer.  Can I get a big WOO HOO!  I don't know about you but every time I have to put gas in my car I cringe.  It hurts the pocket book.  I couldn't tell you the last time I filled the take on my car all the way up.  It has been that long.  I do my best to find decent gas prices when I do put gas in my car and thank you Pak-A-Sak for offering 10 cents off per gallon for using my debit card, you have no idea how that helps.  However, we could see lower gas prices in the coming weeks.

So I got home from work the other day and my son was headed to the bathroom when I hear a scream.  "Bugs, bugs, bugs, they are everywhere," of course that would freak anybody out, but when you see thousands, possible millions of ants covering your white tiled bathroom, making the floor black that is an entirely different story.
