The Making of M.O.M.

Y'all, it snowed here again last night. Granted, it was just a "dusting" and as I sit here during naptime it's all melted away but still MORE SNOW.

Now, before you Northerners begin your comments of "Oh! We get 25 inches of snow per day and it's negative 80 degrees and I wear flip flops" let me just say,

SOUTHERNERS ARE FREAKS IN THE COLD.

I'll admit we ridiculously panic when the weather person calls for 2-3 inches of snow. With the forecast of snow looming over us, there's not a crumb of bread or drop of milk left on any shelf within a 40 mile radius of the television's broadcasting area. Schools have closed because of supposed inclement weather. I'm not even kidding.

I'm telling ya, folks. The quickest, most effective way to blow a southerners mind is to say the words freezing and rain in the same sentence as accumulation.

So today, when my Aunt posted a link to this video on facebook, I just about lost it. This lady is HYSTERICAL. Take 5 minutes and watch this.

My favorites:

"We don't know what's going on. What I do know that's going on is, THIS AIN'T COOL."

"If I was gonna deal with this kind of weather here, I coulda just moved to DC and been closer to the Obamas."

"TWO HOURS OF DUMB" - y'all, I lost it. That's hilarious.

"The Freedom Academy over in, uh, wherever it is over there in Atlanta, Georgia."

"Make sure you dressin' your babies appropriate for the weather, I don't wanna see no problems, then there won't be no problems. You understand what I'm sayin'?"

In other news....

"Stay off the crack pipe SIR!"

And, I'd like to close with my new favorite letter/blog/email closing:

"I love ya long and I love ya strong but please, don't be stupid."

I've been telling my friend Grace that I'd post this on my blog. I keep forgetting until she, ever so abrasively, reminds me.

Now, I'm suppose to write tenderness about her....hummmmm

Grace tries to act hard, and I honestly think she really wants to be. However, her teddy bear innards are SCREAMING to be set free. One day, they will win and she will become a bundle of mushy goodness who loves to give hugs and cuddle.

I am amazed so supremely by this group of students who are now freshmen in college. Grace no doubt, is a prime example of the maturity of this group. Going to a large university could pose some challenges for a believer. Grace is taking them in stride, staying true to herself, and most importantly, her Savior. I admire her so much and I truly wish I could have been more like her when I was a freshman in college.

Grace has the phenomenal ability to calm down Baby D in a moments time. When he went through his colic phase, she was basically the bomb-diggaty to him. I call her the Baby Whisperer.

So, here's the video I promised to post. Grace is the one on the left, for those of you who don't know her. Actually, for those of you who do know her, she's still the one on the left.

I love you Grace. Come home soon!

As a side note to those of you who post on youtube: Apparently, whenever you title your video you are inadvertently placed into categories. You'd think a title of "Little Bunny FooFoo" would be harmless, right? Not so much. Thanks GK for changing it so many times so that it would be family friendly.
