Race Weekend Winnings



Most know that Tim and Reilly have a strong love for all things Nascar. As long as Tim has lived in Texas he's been collecting Jeff Gordon crap-I mean stuff. Then came his little protege in 2001 with the birth of Reilly. He has memorized the names and numbers of drivers since he could talk. But a few years ago when he started to get a mind of his own, Reilly declared he was a Jimmie Johnson #48 fan. That was fine with Tim because he loves Lowes and because the two are team mates. The race was two weekends ago and the two garbed themselves up in their favorite teams overpriced clothing and accessories and were off again for the bi-annual event. Reilly is 6 and this was his 4th race! They had a blast and the bonus was that Jimmie won his 3rd in a row. Yesterdays race made it his 4th. I would have loved to have seen Reilly's face when his man won. Tim said everyone was looking at Reilly as he jumped around and pumped his arms. I'm sure they were happy to see the absolute joy in the little Nascar fan's face. A bonus to race weekend was a autograph and visit with cutie Kasey Kane of the Dodge car. I'm told that he's taking over the Budweiser car next year. Good times for the Cann boys for sure.

Mom returns

I'm back from a wild weekend with da' women. We had a blast in Galveston in an incredible house just a block from the beach. It was a welcomed vacation from the incessant chaos that I welcome each day. The kids seemed to have survived as well as love muffin. Although they did run out to my car to greet me as if to say Thank God you're home mom! Lessons Learned: I learned a lot about some of my mommy friends this weekend. Some of it was useful, some not-s0-useful. I learned lots of birth stories, love stories and bathroom idiosyncracies. I learned who's grossed out by bugs, chives, and most things slimy. I learned who likes to drive in the rain and who has to make potty stops because of driving in it. I learned who likes to talk about all things food. But I still don't know why American cheese isn't good for the kids. I learned that vacations are rough on the digestive tract (especially the lower regions). I learned that we all like to lay around in jammies and t shirts and welcome any opportunity to pop the bra straps at the end of the day. I learned that although we're mostly all past thirty, we can still be wearing stuff to hold our teeth strait and when you do you sound like my 2 year old with a binky in her mouth. And lastly I learned that moms, no matter where we come from or how we grew up we take care of each other and we never grow tired of birth stories and baby bragging and love stories. And I look forward every time I see my friends to learn more.
