Happy Independence Day!!

I didn’t wake up in the best of moods. I’m still not awake, and still not happy about the way I woke up……..

My two year old daughter was sleeping right up against my back literaly as close as she could get. When I woke up, I heard my son say “Brookelyn peed in ——– bed”. (The ——– is the word I didn’t hear.) I said “she better not have peed in MY bed”, and my husband said, “she peed in her bed”. Ummm she WAS in MY bed… So ok whatever…. UNTIL I felt it.

In my bed there was a HUGE wet spot. Soaked way through the sheet to the mattress, of course. Oh, but that’s not all! The entire back of my shirt up to my shoulders was soaked too!! And my hubby’s boxers I was wearing were wet too! I had a pee bath in the middle of the night!!!!!!!

Robert tells me not to get up grouchy, it’s a Holiday. Well I for one didn’t like waking up in a pee soaked bed and pee soaked clothes. I did have a shower right before bed last night. It’s a good thing I was planning on taking another one before going to my brother in law’s today anyway.

We’re going Reese’s house to swim in their pool and have a huge Miller family cookout followed by going to the city of Kingston’s firework display.

The Miller family knows how to put on a cookout too. There are three families, three siblings and their spouse’s and children. There are also two grandmothers and one teen’s boyfriend and another teen’s girlfriend. So…. let me count… that’s 17 people. Then, there’s no telling who else may be there.

Everyone pitches in and brings food, and we always have a ton of food. We are taking 24 hamburgers & buns, 2 watermelons, 48 forks, 48 spoons, 2 bags of chips, homemade salsa, tortilla chips, cheese, lettuce, three 12 packs of drinks, and some beer to cook hubby’s bratwurst in.

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July and that you stay safe!

I’m going to take my shower then load the cooler and take it to fill it up with ice and drop it off at my sister in law’s. I don’t have room for it, so she’s going to take it in her truck for me.
