Beer Bath

One of these things just doesn't belong here.......
Please pardon the 70's bathroom tile and the lovely 90's feathering of the walls, and focus your attention on the far left of the picture. I have highlighted the object, just in case this is something that any of you are used to seeing in your shower. I got in the shower this morning, reached for the shampoo and what, to my surprise, did I find.... why nothing other than a Bud Light in a hugger right up on the towel rack with my bath products! Now, how did this get there, you ask? Well, there are a number of ways that it could have gotten there. But, I bet you will never guess the actual way that a beer ended up in my shower. This may be appropriate, say... if you were on vacation at the beach, completely hammered and really needed a shower. But, under any other normal circumstances, you will find that the only way that this could ever happen is in the following steps:
1. Allan was drinking a beer while watching TV
2. The baby come home from spending the day with Allan's Mother
3. Allan hides the beer in the couch cushions because his Mother does not approve of the beer
4. Allan decides the baby needs a bath
5. Allan would like to drink his beer while bathing the baby (?????!!!! Don't ask me why or blame his unsafe habits on me!) I have to believe that Allan was not BBWI (baby bathing while intoxicated.
6. Allan places his beer on the towel rack for safe keeping
7. Allan finishes Peyton's bath
8. Allan takes Peyton into the nursery to dress him
9. Allan forgets about his beer, for a little while
10. Allan searches for his beer all over the house and gives up after 3 or 4 minutes
11. Allan gets another beer, sits on the couch and proceeds to watch TV

That is how it happened. I have not asked him yet, but I can almost guarantee this is how it happened. I left it there for him this morning. I hope he drank it while he showered this morning. I hate for a good beer to go to waste.

Minivan Mom

So, I have been back at work now for a couple of weeks and am having a really hard time not being at home with Peyton. I just miss him so much! I leave at 7:20 every morning when he is still sleeping and don't lay my eyes on him until around 7:00 or later each night. But, I do have hope that eventually one day when Allan's "rich Uncle gets out of the poor house" I will be one of those Minivan Moms who does nothing but drive her kids from one practice to the next. (I would say "Soccer Mom", but Allan and I hate Soccer! We have a theory that the media is brainwashing American kids by leading them to believe that Soccer is the only sport they should be playing. No, really! Just start watching and listening to commercials, cartoons, and other advertisements. You will see what we are talking about. They never mention Football or Baseball anymore.... just stupid Soccer!) Back to my Minivan, the picture that I have added is the one that I would definitely have to get! It totally fits my newly found redneck lifestyle. The kids would have so much fun in this and would be the envy of all of their little rat-tailed friends. There are no seat belts, only strips of a Confederate Flag to tie around the bottom of the seat and wrap around your waist. Some of the van's features are; a built in (nailed to the center console) 10" TV with bunny ears, truck nuts, and spinners are optional. The van is on sale on Craig's List for $250 or 10 cases of Copenhagen (I will have to ask Allan which one is the better deal). Sure, it may not be the safest vehicle in the world, but what is a little danger when there is so much style involved!? Feedback please!
