Wyoming Trip

I love Wyoming in the summertime. We took a 10 day trip up there to go to the fair in Afton, the Box Y family reunion, Teton Village, and Yellowstone. I wasn't ready to come home.

The Combo Package

Today I gave someone the combo package. I have never done this in my entire life, that I can recall, nor with such strong emotion behind it. On the road. From the driver's seat of my car. Usually, I make excuses for people on the road like "oh they're going slow because they're 85 years old" or "they cut me off because they have something important to get to." But today this driver was trying to impress his buddies, show off, and play chicken or something and it. pissed. me. off. Obey the rules like everyone else buddy!

So, I gave him the combo package. This came to me so effortlessly that it seems I have been observing others do this exact maneuver and it was just waiting inside of me for the appropriate moment when I would bare my teeth, bristle my fur, and attack with it. And yes, my children were in the car with me.

The combo package consists of: swear words (bad ones, really bad ones + name calling- both 'no-nos' in the mommy book) + honking (long and drawn out to get their attention on you in their rearview mirror) + 'the finger' (as close to the windshield as you can get it so they can really see what you are intentionally gesturing). I was so proud of myself.
