Bacchus Jr. came out of his surgery well and this afternoon acted as though nothing had happened.  The day before the surgery Mommy Bacchus ran in one of BJ’s classmates mother and she explained that BJ’s classmate was out for a week after having the same surgery.  This didn’t make Mommy Bacchus feel any better.  She was already nervous as all get out. 

The doctor said that his adenoids were infected and were probably the cause of his many sinus infections over the past year.  We were very thankful and glad this is all over.  There is nothing like watching people take your child away for surgery and you worrrying every minute that he may not come back…..

Thanks for everyone’s thoughts and concerns, you can’t imagine how comforting it was to know that people cared.

I don’t care what the commercials say, McDonald’s new “Premium Blend” (or whatever it is they call it) coffee still tastes like hot, brown water.

I heard an Amber Alert this morning in our area, and this caused me to repost this again. Try it, it will freak you out…..

A friend of mine forwarded a link to this website and I found it astounding. You can click on the “find offender” button and put in your address or any address you are interested in and find what sexual offenders live or work in the area. Once you are looking at the map, you can click on one of the boxes and see their pictures. This is a must for any parent……

To look up offenders is free, but they do offer other paid services that can notify you any time a sexual offender moves in your area.

We took Bacchus Jr. to this show last week and couldn’t believe how entertaining it was. It’s like Cirque Du Soleil, but with horses. It’s under a big tent and no seat is bad. The sets and music were fantastic and definately recommend it to anyone in the Dallas area (Until April 9th). To find out if they are coming to your city visit their website.

This lady inspired me to write a post on why I take my son to church. She is a very deep and spiritual lady (Except on Thursdays when she is half-nekkid) and today she shared more thoughts on religion. We have been corresponding for several weeks and I visit her blog daily. She is a contributer to SAHMOC (Stay at home moms of Color) and I got her hooked on flickr. So please let’s show her some love and click her link on the sidebar. You will be pleasantly surprised.

28. My son looks just like me

29. Favorite Wine: Franciscan Oakville Cabernet ‘95

Every time I go to the gym it seems I have some locker room issue with other patrons. I had a high school wrestling coach who demanded we all live by his rules. It’s now obvious that I have adopted many of these rules. Oh ladies, don’t sit there and turn your nose up in the air, we know you can be just as nasty as the guys. So below is my list of rules that will make every men’s locker room experience, more pleasant.

1. Don’t be a Plastic Man
I once knew a man who would never work out at the gym, but would always stop by daily to soak in the hot tub or visit the sauna. The problem was that Plastic Man always walked around the locker room completely naked and felt the need to strike up conversations with anyone who would listen. I would see him when I first got to the gym and when I got ready to leave; he would still be naked talking up a storm. Guys, if you ever meet a Plastic Man, don’t ever respond to anything he says. Once you do, he will come looking for you on a regular basis. Oh, he got the nick-name of Plastic Man because he wore a wig that he thought no one noticed. What a looser.

2. I don’t really want to talk to you
Unless I know you, please don’t try and strike up a conversation. With the exception of commenting on what’s on the locker room TV or the weather. (Also, see #1 above)

3. Clean up the sink after you shave
Your mother doesn’t live here.

4. Don’t shave in the communal shower
Although I am aware that shaving in the shower is best for you, most of us really don’t want to walk through your blood stains that drip on the floor.

5. If you have athlete’s™ feet, keep them to yourself
Wear shower shoes so you don’t spread it to the rest of us. Oh, and get to the nearest drug store and spray something on those dogs.

6. If you have to do #2 in the bathroom, give the rest of us a Mercy Flush

Ok, so you have heard the news and probably have an opinion, but I can honestly say that I don’t. This, like most marriages, can go good or bad depending on many factors. So I have developed my own list of reasons to love or hate this deal.

5 Things to Love
1. The guy is a “playa” and will bring back the “swagger” back to the team.
2. Cowboys fans love flashy players (Deon, Irvin and Butch Johnson)
3. He is a fierce competitor with great hands
4. No matter what, “Me-O” will not go toe-to-toe with “Big Bill”
5. It will be a great sports history moment to see him come on the field and kiss the star.

5 Things to Hate
1. Drew Bledsoe has just been thrown under the bus: “Me-O” will rip apart whoever sits in the quarterback position
2. He will find a way to also rip the team apart
3. “Me-O” will find a way to embarrass the team in some way
4. If he doesn’t get the ball, he will look for someone to blame. (See #1 above)
5. This will ruin both Jerry Jones and Bill Parcels’ legacies

I think “Me-O” will attempt to be a team player for the first 1 and a half years, but if the Cowboys don’t bring in any complimentary players, he will resort back to his true colors. So it will be good for a while, but count on it going south soon after that.

Someone is feeling very lonely tonight…
