Movie snacks

By -
Going to the movies, especially as a family of 6 can add up pretty quickly.
Here in "America's finest city" of San Diego a movie ticket will run you around $11.00.  Now  times that by 6 and then add another 50 bucks in popcorn.. yah I don't feel too bad to admit, that I sneak in movie snacks.
I know shocking.. but I do. I break a rule.. *GASP*
We even have a blue hobo bag, that my kids call the "movie purse".
A quick run through Target and we have plenty of suckers and crackers to get through a movie.
No problems. Everyone happy, I save money on popcorn. win win

Last night Connor went to the movies with some of his friends. Keeping in tradition, he went to one of the stores in the mall to get snacks. I have no issues there (movie food should be cheaper).
He spent last night at his friend's house.  This morning when he came home he brought his leftover movie snacks with him.
I am amazed at what  he was able to sneak in.
Either
A) they just don't care
or
B) 6ft teenage boys are intimidating...

either way here's the popcorn that was left over. He and his friends ate about half of the 4lbs of popcorn.




which due to the size of the bag, and the fact that they got it in .. I'm thinking next time, we're sneaking in Garrett.

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

It never seems to fail. I go shopping.. doesn't matter where.. just out shopping. Having myself a grand ol' time, whether it be shopping for groceries or things a lot more fun than that, shopping. Shopping is great, until.... I leave the confines of the store/mall etc, and head to the parking lot only to have NO clue WHAT-SO-EVER where my fricken frackin car is!! NONE! No idea at all, good thing I have a green mini-van, cause THOSE aren't common! So then I embark on the mission of trying to find my car. I try the nonchalant approach at first, strolling with purpose down an isle as if I know exactly where I am going. This process is generally complicated by a car following me to get "my spot", so then I have to feign forgetfulness, "OOPS, (looking around frantically) must have left something in the store." It's back to the store to "retrieve" non-existent lost item, and try the car finding ruse once more. This time I try the more distract...
