The One That Makes Me Wonder

I wonder how this could happen? Twice within six months, at the exact same eating establishment...I mean, who does the ordering of products?
On Tuesday, I pulled into the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant, famous for its colors of orange and white and the 45, 326 (or something close to that number) different ways to order its burgers...
I place my order and was told, in a very friendly voice, that this restaurant was out of my drink choice...Dr.Pepper. How is this possible? I mean twice in six months? Shouldn't every restaurant have Dr.Pepper stockpiled, it being the official drink of Texas? (Not that this is factual, but hey, Waco has a museum celebrating the wonderful soft drink.)
The first time, the girls and I walked out. This time, I said, "Ok, well, please cancel my order" and drove off.
I wonder, who drinks it all? Who orders the syrup for the machines? How many other people were disappointed that day? Did the truck delivering said syrup get lost? There is a big Dr.Pepper plant on 35W...I'm just wondering...
Yes, this might seem rather shallow and petty, given the state of our country today. I understand that...but I just really needed a Dr.Pepper. Those of you that love this soft drink as much as I do, will get it. Sometimes you just have to have a Dr.Pepper and nothing else will do.

I know that this post isn't profound or life-changing, but as I write this, I realize that there are somethings in life that just aren't worth compromising for...whether it be a silly Dr.Pepper, how you mow the grass, or standing up for something you believe in or have a passion for, how you raise your children or how you value relationships or your personal faith. So take the road that leads you to be uncompromising, unwavering in whatever it is that you believe in.

24 Hours Ago...

it was sunny and 80 degrees. Now, it is cold, rainy and just slightly above freezing. As I told Caris, a great day for a nap! The weather is forecasted to remain like this through Friday evening/Saturday morning.
Tomorrow, I'm heading to The Cheesecake Factory with my wonderful friends Mindy and Vicki...oh and Rhett, Mindy's son, who is about 5 months old. He loves cheesecake! We try to go have brekfast or lunch once a month and we are totally splurging this time! And I can't wait...Orange Chicken and a slice of cheesecake...yummy!
Have a great day!

Another Busy Saturday!!

McKenna had individual and team photos this morning at 9:15, followed by the game at 10:15. Not cold this week, but overcast and WINDY! But McKenna had a great game! She played goalie for the 2nd quarter and no goals scored on her! Yea!! And then in the 3rd quarter, McKenna scored! We were so excited!! So that's 2 so far this season for her! Awesome!! And they won, even though we don't officially keep score. Go Gator Girls!
We had about 25 minutes after McKenna's game, before Caris's game was scheduled. So we ran and got the girls a quick bite and got back to the fields. Her pictures were after the game...all windblown! Caris really hustled and she scored her very first goal! And then she scored another one!! So two for her today! Caris was soooo excited! And we were so proud!! And her team won as well! Go Doodlebugs!!
Now we are off to the carnival at school. Caris would like there to be a roller coaster, but she's out of luck. Nothing that elaborate!
And then to dinner...Caris gets to pick since she scored today. And guess where she picked to go??? Pappasito's! I just have to laugh, because I didn't put her up to it~she just loves it too! So a great day, followed by a great dinner. Sounds like a pretty wonderful day! Hope everyone else has a great weekend!
