From my 4 year old:
"Mommy, if you chop me up and bake me in the oven for supper, then you won't have no more Brian."
So I asked, "Why would I chop you up and cook you for dinner?"
Him: "I don't know, but you wouldn't have no more Brian."
So I assured him I have no intention of cooking him for dinner, that the only food I will be cooking will be coming from the grocery store. I wish I knew where he came up with this stuff at.

Hot Wings
I had the craving for some hot wings a couple days ago, so I decided I needed to make some. With all the recipes out there, I didn't know which one to try. So I decided to just "wing" it. I wish I had gotten pictures. I took:
About 4 lbs of chicken wingettes
about 1/2 cup melted butter
about 1-1/2 cups hot sauce
I threw the wings into hot grease and cooked them until they were golden on all sides, then drained. The butter and hot sauce got mixed together in a bowl and the wings got dipped into it. From there, they went into the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes.
The results were pure perfection. My dad and I loved them. My cousin was visiting the next day and finished off what we didn't the night before. He said they were great!

Somewhat Hard
This term in school is somewhat hard for me. I am getting an A in my math class. But my grade in Legal Ethics has slipped. Thanks to getting a B on one test and a C on another, my grade is sitting right around a high B. A lot of people think there is nothing wrong with that. But the problem is that when it comes to school, I have to be perfect. My grade point average right now is a 4.0 from the first 2 terms. I don't want it to change. During my first term, I was just shooting for making the Dean's List. But with my 4.0, I made the President's List. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing my name on the President's List. We are just getting ready to end week 4 of this term, which means Midterm week starts on Wednesday. I am buckling down even more to study for my Legal Ethics Midterm. Hopefully, with a little luck and a lot of studying, I will be able to use my Midterm Exam to pull my grade back up to an A.
I have also been helping my oldest study more in his subjects at school. He hasn't started his third quarter off so well. As a result, he is doing some extra studying at home in those subjects, and I am also helping him with some of that studying.
My daughter had her winter testing done that they are doing for Kindergarten this year. All her scores are falling in the "Above Average" and "Well Above Average" scores. The school year is more than half over, and she hasn't learned one thing yet this year in Kindergarten that she didn't learn either at home or in Pre-K. I take that back. She has learned how to do her alphabet in sign language. That's it. Everything else they are doing in Kindergarten, she already did at the beginning of Pre-K. She ended Pre-K doing addition and subtraction, along with some beginning reading. They haven't even made it that far in her Kindergarten class yet.

Things Kids Say
My 4 year old has informed me that I picked him out. He said I went to the "kid store" and picked him out of a cage from all the other kids in the store. He also said I had to pay $3 for him and that the reason I picked him was because he was the cheapest. I just love the imagination of kids.

Goals for the New Year
HAPPY NEW YEAR! In the upcoming year I have decided to set some goals for myself. Some of these include:
1. Eating better. I have been trying, and doing good for the most part, but I need to lay off the chocolate.
2. Get more excercise. I do get some now, but not enough.
3. Get more organized. I am one of the most disorganized people there is, and I would like to try to fix this. I plan on doing this in babysteps.

Common Courtesy
A courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression. This is the definition of the phrase “common courtesy.” In today’s world it seems too many people have forgotten all about common courtesy, if they ever knew about it at all. There are many instances when common courtesy could be used. It’s also better to err on the side of caution and use common courtesy. One example when to use common courtesy is when you are invited to someone’s house for a holiday dinner. If you have said you will be there, the person is expecting you and plans to cook food for you (and your family if applicable). If you say no, then the host(ess) knows they don’t have to cook extra good. But the host(ess) always needs to know how many people will be there so they know how much food to cook. So if something comes up when you are going to be hours late for said dinner, you should extend common courtesy and let the host(ess) know you will be late. You would also do the same if you are unable to make it at all to the dinner. Otherwise your host(ess) goes through the extra time and expensive of cooking extra food meant for you, and you don’t even have the courtesy to make a call or send a text saying “Hey, I can’t come.” It’s not hard and only takes a couple of seconds.
