MOCHA MORNINGS

i  ordered these cute little socks for my little j axon and I was so excited when I came home and saw the package in the mailbox.  He, of course, took one look at them and HATES them!  "I don't want these socks, I want my socks!"  Today I found them hid behind the swinging dining room door. What the heck is the deal with my kids and their socks? ?   Wonder if our insurance pays for sock therapy? photo from: The Children's Place !

t he year of 2011 has so far been a big one for starbucks.  first they announce they are  changing their logo and now, starting today in the great state of texas, among others, we can now get a super sized amount, the Trenta, of our favorite iced coffees!  however I am totally bummed that we don't have a starbucks in our town, otherwise I would be running out this a.m. to snatch one of this up, just because.  p hoto courtesy of www.starbucksmelody.com  a great unofficial page for all you Starbucks lovers like myself!! after preheating my oven i kept smelling a burnt rubber stench.  i continued whipping up my cornbread batter and then it dawned on me, a little boy had gotten caught earlier that day with the oven door open. i threw open the oven door and out rolled smoke and the most horrible smell.... t hese truly were some Hot Wheels ! barump bump!

s o, starbucks has unveiled their new logo!  personally, i think i like the older ones better.  the cup usually has a sleeve on it anyway, so is the logo on the cup even seen?  i wonder if the cup sleeve has changed? Since our town has NOT ONE Starbucks, I guess it will be a while before I know the answer to that question... d inner last night didn't turn out to well.  The kids decided that soup and grilled cheese sounded good, so after sticking the sandwiches under the broiler I turned to Words with Friends on my iphone, and when I turned around the kitchen was filled with smoked.  Needless to say, mom got to eat burnt grilled cheese tops for dinner last night.... e veryday my kid complains about his "fat socks".  they are no show socks that are a little big, but fit perfectly fine in my opinion.  he has a couple of pairs that are  little small and those are his favorite.  so on those days instead of hearing the whini...
