Fried Green Tomatoes on a Sunday Afternoon
I took a nap today. I almost never take a nap. I don't ever think I have time. And besides that I'm worried about what my kids might do while my eyes are closed. They have trained me well. Tim can sleep in, he has long ago mastered the art of rolling over and pulling that pillow over his head. But not me. No, my hyper-vigilant self is usually up and at 'em at least a half hour before the boys wake in the morning, and they are ALWAY up by 6:00.
This afternoon all the stars aligned, or something and I took a nap. I had been outside earlier. It was my plan to make a bench from some 2x6's that I could place down in the grove for birdwatching. But, its really, really HOT out there today. And I'm really, really a big wuss. So instead, I took a nap.
When I woke up there were all kinds of reports awaiting my attention. The boys said, "Mom, we don't like playing on your computer." They've been watching kids' television and apparently every stinking show out there has an associated web site. So they decided to check 'em all out this afternoon.
Michael said, "It's a good thing I know how to click that X."
"Ummmmmm, what do you mean, Baby."
"Well, this little box kept popping up that said, Yahoo Mail Alert! But I knew how to click the X." He paused, "Then one time this big window opened and it said something like "Hello, how is your afternoon." I clicked X on it, too."
Oh, great! The email I'm looking at now. My friend who tried to IM me? Well, I hope you're reading this and believe me that I didn't ignore you.
Tim's report was simpler and more satisfying. "I made fried green tomatoes."
Yummmmmmmmmm.

LOL Gotta love the X. At least he didn't decide to chat as you!
haha cool
Oh, I love fried green tomatoes. And naps!
Mmmmmm. Sounds delicious. The tomatoes, too.
"hyper-vigilant"? "ALWAY up by 6:00"?
Hmmm, sounds like an interesting place.
My kid graduated yesterday so I bought him a computer in the morning. At least now I won't have to keep icq under a password in case he's Pokemon-ing or something and one of those awful sleazy cyber sex randomers pops up.
sounds like an absolutely wonderful day.
Great- this mus be the kid computer energy time. Too long to go into- see my site. I love Your posts.
Love and Light

I'm glad I know how to click the X too
My child, RKN, is coming home this weekend and wants fried green tomatoes. I hope i can find a recipe! She said she had to go all the way to Taiwan to get F.G.T. I'll try to be a good mom. I know she would also like Korean BBQ and southern Banana Pudding. What a cultural mix she is from her travels.
Oh my goodness!! This is so funny! Gotta love kids and the way their minds think!
It has been forever since I took a nap on Sunday afternoon. I think I'll give it a try.
Sounds like all was "not so bad" when you woke up.. so yayyyyyyy for naps.
Don't you love how that happens? When HE takes a nap, nothing. When you take a nap, all hell breaks loose!
NAPS ROCK!
I'm not good at sharing so I have my own computer. : )
