Having a flashback night.. Watching Girls just want to have fun from 1985' never seen it but it is driving the hubs bonkers.. He's sitting there with his headphones going, oh were you even born then.. Yes dear I was only 2! :) Ha..

Watching this movie made me think of the 80's and 90's when I was little and how things have changed from then to now.. Spending the summer days when I was younger at my grandparents.. Getting out there early in the morning and sleeping a bit or on the rare occasion watching cartoons, the good ones, before a breakfast of homemade biscuits with grape jelly.. My Nanny made the most awesome homemade biscuits..My Grandfather would always eat them with sorghum syrup or molasses when he was out of sorghum.. Sorghum syrup oh the most awful smelling stuff.. Then playing with toys (actual wooden toys) and watching price is right with my Nanny.. Then lunch followed by the afternoon nap, which was taken on an actual pallet made out of blankets in the living room, not on a nap mat.. I use to play in the dirt with pots and pans and wooden spoons making mud pies or anything I could imagine out of dirt.. I am pretty sure that on some occasions I ate some of the mud pies either my choosing or my older brother well being my older brother.. When weather would hold out we would go to the creek and go fishing.. My Grandfather finally got fed up with me loosing my rod in reels in the trees so I would have to sit on the banks with my Grandmother and use a cane pole.. Talk about slow.. I couldn't sit still for a minute and still can't.. But those were some of my  most prized memories.. Including my Grandmother's angel food cake with the most awesome strawberry frosting.. Just wish my kids could grow up like my brother and I did sometimes.. Not now days where it's all tv and movies or video games.. Sadly though this day in age it's hard to just slow down and do those simple pleasures with the kids.. I remember the days we use to roller blade all of my hometown during the summer with our friends and it was cool with the parents as long as we checked in with them and was home in time.  I would NEVER let me kids do that now even where we live now..Wow how times have changed even from when I was little. It makes me wonder about the quality of life that the kids now days are being given.. 

My nightly baffle.... 
How is it sometimes the most simple things just seem to stump me.. Going to go grocery shopping tomorrow and usually I make a generic list and then just walk up and down the aisle and get the same thing every time.. Well decided I would do a menu for this next week.. Planning a menu of foods we like to eat for a week, simple right, NOPE.. It has taken me almost two hours to figure out seven meals..  Good grief what is up with that..
