Family and Friends
My Story...
- Alicia
- In 1993 I convinced my best friend to make the best decision of his life and marry me! ;-) I am thankful for Doug and everything he puts up with from me! We are the proud parents of 5 beautiful, amazing, and talented children. I am a stay-home mom and Doug works for the Boy Scouts of America. Our favorite thing to do is spend time as a family.

I have to know, who is (was) the lucky girl?
I believe it was Tiana. However, since Sara gets to spend more time with my son than I do, you'll have to check with her to be sure. ;-) What a goofy kid!
Yes, Tiana WAS the lucky girl! :)
My poor Jordan. How is he handling it? I want more details. What did he say? What did she say? What kid that age has $20 to give to another kid? Details Alicia!!
The "payee" always has extra money. I have no idea where he gets it! I'm pretty sure the "practice" girls let Tiana know what was coming. He told me he said, "You know, like the normal thing" (imagine hand gestures). Me: "What thing?' Jordan: "You know" (more hand gestures). Me: "What did she say?" Jordan: "No." There you go. True communication between a mother and her preteen.
Oh I see...there ARE no details at that age. Just straight up "no" with no explaining. I like the simplicity! I think I could learn a big lesson from this.
Like what lesson? Ask 12 girls out before you get to the one you want so then the NO doesn't sting quite so badly? As I said, GOOFY KID--GOOFY AGE!!!! But I wouldn't trade it for anything!;-)
Jordan is silly
I was thinking along the lines of.... if I just say "no" to people and leave it at that. Don't try to explain all the details. I dig myself deeper sometimes trying to get myself out of stuff. I should just leave it at no without the why and excuses.
But I'll agree that it is a goofy age!
Valid point, Tanya! Sometimes it's best to quite while you're ahead. Maybe someday I'll learn that lesson! :-)
