.....whoa

...my bouncing baby boy is 12 today.........he asks for so little.........he isn't really the party type so we got out of that.........we went out to Elephant Bar last night.......his homeland........he has always referred to Africa as his homeland.....he was more than disappointed to see his birth certificate that states our city as his place of birth.........sorry, Charlie......America it is........he chose a new hat  for his gift.........St. Louis Cardinals flat bill.....the new Diamond Series batting practice hat.......35 smackers......seems ridiculous for a hat........especially when it's not his only hat........boys are weird

baseball was a downer yesterday.........that's all I had better say about that......

I went one whole day without caffeine....not really on purpose......I paid dearly for that mistake.....huge headache by 6.....asleep by 8.........on the upside, that was a lot of sleep in one night for me.........I should have pushed through it today and I'd be almost to the point of not needing it........this morning I had to make 3 trips to get us all to school with everything we needed....all while the car was in desparate need of gas.....I made it....no idea how.........the dash said I had 0 miles left for at least two miles.......and it filled with exactly 11.0 gallons of gas.....there must have been just a squirt left in the hose for me to have made it........that really is a risky little game to play....allow me to refer to last night's headache........I couldn't make myself stop for gas........

Jackson has gotten some birthday cash and will be getting some gift cards............oy........he's going to be badgering me to take him places..........
