We’ve missed the last few episodes of the show, “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader“, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, but when we do get to see it, Jerry, Zach and I LOVE it. It’s one of the few shows that all of us sit down to watch together.

I was taking a break from work (I can’t remember the last time I did this)and decided to catch up on some Mommy Blogs, that I have neglected and so desperately missed over the past few weeks ok, so it’s months really this morning. I started over at my friend Amanda’s blog, (who by the way I’m jealous of because she is going to Hillbilly Days this weekend).

Next, I found my way to my other friend, Marie Ynami’s blog (via the link announcing she won the Mom Idol Singing Contest…congrats Marie you sound great!). I listened to Marie sing, girl if that’s how you sound PMSing, then you must sound AWESOME on a normal day!

After hearing Marie, I wanted to hear the other winners so I jumped back (thanks to that handy dandy back button) to Amanda’s blog and went through the list, but couldn’t find where the other ladies had posted their audios! Needless to say I was sad, but when I came across the 4th place winner Ruth’s blog, Patton Family Musings, I was happy again! Thank you Ruth.

I read her post about the show and I just had to know if I WAS smarter than a fifth grader! LOL…most of you will know the answer to this question I think.

Head over and find out if you have bragging rights because, unlike myself, you ARE smarter than a 11 year old!

And if at first you don’t succeed try again with this one! 2nd Chance Smarter Than a 5th Grader Quiz

Let me know how you come out! And by the way for those that must know, on the first quiz I was only 40% smarter…on the second however, which was easier and had a few of the same questions I was 80% smarter. Hey, atleast I learn from my mistakes, right? Besides, who really needs to know how many sides a trapezoid has?

‘NUFF SAID!

I’m off to watch again. btw…this was BEFORE they won the SuperBowl so Elliott, you have my heart even more now that I know you are a Peyton Manning fan too.

Just one more thing while I’m on the topic of my favorite singer…Walmart stores in the area have been sold out of his CD since the day he released it. That was a month ago guys…COME ON, a girl needs her fix!

In honor of those who were so suddenly and tragically taken from this Earth this past Monday, today the nation mourns. To support those who lost their loved ones as well as to boost up their spirits a bit, please wear your orange and maroon today!

I was going to write a post about Monday, April 16, 2007’s horrible tragedy, but to be honest, by now I really don’t think I could say anything that hasn’t already been said and I refuse to give the shooter what he wanted by spreading the word of his heinous act, so instead I will just say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Blacksburg and their friends and families! My heart goes out to each and everyone of you and may God be with you and see you through your losses. My prayers have been and will continue to be sent for you!

You are a very strong bunch, after all: YOU ARE VA TECH HOKIES!!

We will all be sporting our colors in this family and I’ll hopefully get everyone together for a pic at the same time at some point and post later!
