Scout — I totally get it.

A Love Affair
Little did I know back then…..
That a little three year old boy would hold the keys to my heart.
This morning he ran into my room to wake me up. He got under the covers with me, and told me he was cold. I started to cover his little shirtless body with some warm blankets when he said, “No…I want you to wrap your arms around me.”
As I did, his little arms wrapped themselves around me and held me as tight as he could.
Chick Fil A Rip!
Trilby told me that she read in the paper, that the first 100 people who lined up outside the new Chick-Fil-A in town, would receive a year’s worth of free chicken. Obviously I was game. I even weaseled a few more ladies to join in on the fun.
So bright and early we went….
AZ is saving a place in line. We were told that it’s rare that 100 people are lined up first thing in the morning. But since we were number 160ish…I guess we had bad info. But in our favor, luckily they were doing a lottery system.
The third sleeping beauty showed up (with sunglasses on like Beth!).
Here are the 909ers who told us that we didn’t just get the money and run….but instead….there was a lottery. If we got chosen, then we got to spend the next 24 hours camping out until 6 am the next morning to retrieve our prize.
WHAT?
Trilby — you forgot to mention that small detail.
Here is the CFA representative who confirmed the bad news.
The real screw job was when Summer opted out of the lottery and got a free coupon for showing up in the first place. I made AZ stay with me because I am always up for festivities. But mid way through, I had a vision of Jim Zimm saying, “Yikes! You are waiting in line for something you don’t even want. Get home Adrienne so I can get to work. And what do we need Chick-Fil-A coupons for anyway? Buy me a tub of licorice, and I can survive a year!” So I initiated the leave, when the lady on the loud speaker said that if we weren’t prepared to stay, that we could turn in our tickets. So we took the walk of shame and turned our tickets in to get our free sandwich like Scummy. But instead, the CFA officials just said a discreet thank you and sent us packing. WHAT? NOTHING I know for sure that everyone who didn’t get picked in the lottery surely wasn’t leaving empty handed. So in the end….out of 175 people….only two walked away with nothing!
Miss Zimm and Yours Truly.
AKA Sour Gummy Worms
Scout charmed Nonnie into buying him these “frosted noodles”.
Love how he came up with his own name for them.
Pseudo Siblings
Even though I didn’t personally birth her, Skilly Poops is like my very own daughter. Which would also make her my kid’s sister.
The perks:
Free babysitting (or more like I tell her I will pay her, but never do…and it’s okay).
Someone who loves Scout and Navy as much as I do.
A good older role model.
And a few more that I can’t think of right now.
The drawbacks:
Having 3 kids is more expensive than 2.
She doesn’t take my discipline very seriously — she literally laughs when I tell her to turn around for a spank!
The space is too big for good hand-me-downs between Ka and Icka.
In true sibling fashion — Scout and Ka fight like cats and dogs (unless she is “Miss Clifford”, when he treats her with the utmost respect.)
