On A Lighter Note...

OK - so my first post was pretty heavy so I thought I would follow it up with something to make you laugh.

About a month ago, I got some new Mary Kay makeup from my neighbor.  Maresa had been home sick for way too many days and Mark had been out of town for way too many days.  Sanity was slipping away from me and you know, kids have a way of snapping you right back into the moment!

So, Maresa and I were getting ready to go pick Mark up from the airport and we had slept until the very last possible moment still allowing enough time to throw some clothes on and run out the door.

Christina brought over my new makeup the day before and you know I wanted to look good for my hubby, so I made a feeble, rushed attempt to get all gussied up...which basically meant that I brushed my hair and teeth and probably put on lipgloss and mascara.  (I told you it was feeble.)  And, in an effort to get Maresa to hurry up, I said, "That's all she wrote, come on we gotta go."

Dragging along behind me, Maresa says with a questioning tone "That's all she wrote?"  Not thinking a thing about that phrase, I said again, "Yes, that's all she wrote, now come on."  She said, "What do you mean? She gave you a paper?"  OK, now I'm frustrated, we don't have time for this conversation and my reply went something along the lines of  "I don't even know what you're talking about. COME ON!"  She said (and Chrsitina, my Mary Kay lady, will LOVE this!) "Ms. Christina... did she give you a list?"  You're gonna be surprised at my reply because we're still standing in the hallway having this conversation instead of driving toward the airport, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

And, in her best let-me-help-you-understand voice, my incredibly literal 11 year old says..."You said That's all she wrote.  I'm trying to ask you if Ms. Christina gave you a list with your makeup.  Like did she write down what stuff you are supposed to use today and that's why you said that's all she wrote?"

After I regained my composure, I explained the phrase that I obviously thought she already understood.
