"Smoochies"

A few weeks ago when we evacuated from the hurricane, we drove past a place called "Smoochies."  Will said, "Mom, can we go to that store called Smoochies?  It looks GREAT.  It it has movies, novelties, toys and gifts."  I laughed so hard.  The kids thought I was laughing at the name Smoochies but I was laughing because the sign said "Adult" movies, novelties, toys and gifts.  How do you explain that to kids?  Will and Harry still think I just laugh at the name so when I am in a crabby mood,  they say "smoochies" hoping I will laugh (and I usually do).

On another note....thanks for all of the thoughtful feedback from my last post.  That was really hard for me to write.  Also, I know that what we have been through lately is merely a drop in the bucket compared to what some endure every single day.  I know in the big scheme of life, we are so blessed.  The continual compilation of stressful events has just felt as overwhelming as some of the bigger, more serious life issues we have faced in the past.

Oh and we saw a C@cas*st guy in the apartment parking lot.  Dave begged him to come fix our phone/cable/internet problems and he called his supervisor and they let him fix it.  Woohoo!
