Fun and Games

So, yeah, Mothers Day. It was good, at least for this mutha'.

After church (at which I did my turn in the nursery with my one charge...who promptly started scratching and hitting as soon as his mother left), Husband and the younglings (who don't scratch, thankew) took me to Cracker Barrel for lunch.

Yum! I LOVE that hashbrown casserole!

And then we went to the mall, because we can't go anywhere without buying a book, don't you know? We also hit the video game store, where we found the game "Civil War."

Hello! Whooooo!

My only problem with this game? When one fights the Battle of Gettysburg as a Yankee, one is representing the 20th Maine!

Damn! Hello people! Are you forgetting the 83rd Pennsylvania? Strong Vincent?

(I'm a bit partial, you see, because that was the unit we portrayed. Co. K, to be exact.)

So I told Husband that if I heard someone holler "BAYONETS!" ala Chamberlain in the movie, I was going to take the damn game back. I didn't, because no one yelled.

But hell! How 'bout some props for the 83rd PA????

All in all, though, it was a very nice day for this mother.
