The Woman

Setting: Dining room table eating dinner as a family.

Matthew: "Mom, would you please get me a nice cold glass of ice water?"

Me: "Matthew, I just sat down to eat dinner with the rest of you. Why don't you get up and get yourself a nice cold glass of ice water?"

Peter: "Yah Matthew, The Woman doesn't have to do everything!"

Toby and I started laughing hysterically.

I am proud that Peter stood up for his mother; however, I am not sure I like the label "The Woman" . . .

I finally took the plunge . . .

Tiffany has been on my case for quite some time to start blogging. She is an amazing blogger and writer and has always informed me that the daily adventures of Matthew and Peter are too comical not to share. So, in 2007 I created a blog. No, that is not a typo - in 2007. The title was Two McBride Boys, and I never made a post! There are instances when being a type A personality is not always a good trait. When it comes to blogging, my personality hindered my progress. I wanted my blog to look as awesome as all of the blogs I read. I didn't want a "simple" template created by blogger. So, I gave up. During the past month, I have been reading more and more blogs and thinking to myself "I should blog about that . . . " or "If I had a blog I could share these pictures . . . " Finally, I decided to start blogging. After a week of designing and modifying my blog (it still does not look exactly how I want it to look), I have decided that I will start posting. Obviously, the title Two McBride Boys is not appropriate anymore, so I have changed the title to McBride Family Adventures. Stay tuned for the latest McBride Family Adventures!
