fooey

okay.
so i'm tryin' to stay off of sodas.
new year's resolution and all.

i've allowed myself ONE mountain dew
a week.

one.

so you gotta time it right.

timing seemed right.

i couldn't think anymore, there was
no sense of humor....i was dull.

so.
the kids are workin' with me.
i have a dew.

it doesn't take long.....

it kicks in.
we know it kicks in because yo yo
makes a mistake and says 'fooey.'


fooey.

i haven't heard that word in years.

fooey.

what an incredible word.

so i start sayin' it over and over and
over as i sit here tryin' to make
valentines.

my valentines are coming out dark and
not very valentiney at all.

fooey.

i burst out laughing.

they're lacking joy i say.

give me that dew.

'mom, you need to have these more often.'

grin.

yeah.
maybe so.

no.
no.
no.

i just need a nap here and there!

fooey.

the valentine's are callin'..........
