Watch your cheese intake...


For those of you who know my oldest daughter you are well aware that she is dramatic...that's a given. She loves to sing and dance! The ringtone on my cell phone is Carrie Underwood's "Next time he cheats." I love love love that song! If you are aware of my past you probably understand why and if you don't let me explain. My first husband wasn't faithful. I coped with that fact by seeing a therapist for 18 months...that was then, this is now, and I firmly believe I'm a much stronger person because of it. I do however, believe that if Carrie had recorded this song about 9 years earlier I could have saved many counseling hours and many dollars by following her advice! The lyrics of the chorus are words to live by..."I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats. I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats, yeah maybe next time he'll think before he cheats." Totally words to live by in my opinion!! Anyhow not only do I enjoy fantasizing about what could have been whenever that song comes on, but the tune is fun and just makes you feel like turning it up and singing along...and I do, every time it's on the radio. We were on our way to dinner and Jeff and I were debating whether Carrie said bathroom Polo or bathroom cologne in one verse. So we were saying all the words to the song. Maddy said I know the chorus...and she proceeded to repeat all the words. She was right on the money until she hit the last line. Picture her singing this with all she's worth...I slashed a hole in all four tires, maybe next time he'll think before he eats cheese, yeah maybe next time he'll think before he eats cheese." I thought Jeff and I might turn purple while trying not to laugh! It was so hilarious!! Only Maddy would come up with that!! I believe now we are all very clear on the moral of this story...be careful when you eat cheese around a scorned woman!! Just thought you might need a chuckle this afternoon!

Oh Melissa! I just laughed out loud and almost spit cider all over my laptop! I am officially back online, and this was the first place I headed, and now I know why!! =) (By the way, I am also eating cheese....really...but next time I'll think before I do!)
Love you, Tracy
