So, for your Irish lesson, I am going to be super lazy. Research it yourself!

I wanted to tell you about the amazing 'Fighting Sixty Ninth' today. But my day has been 'other than great'. So go to this website and check out the Origin tab. Heck, check out all the website has to offer. Or find a different website if you want!

Basically, this Regiment started out as a bunch of Irish Yankees that were mad they couldn't stick it to the Brits. So they banded together in hopes of kicking British ass at a later date. Instead, they fought heroically for Honest Abe in the Civil War. Then, they went on to fight in just about every American conflict including the current wars. Really, great stuff. And all because some Irish lads were mad at a monarchy. Woop!

Anyway, here is the website: http://www.nyfighting69th.com/

As I said, my day was pretty crazy. The morning was filled with phone calls and email and trying to find lost objects. I swear this house eats my stuff. But I found the things I needed, took care of business. Instead of my girls napping this afternoon, we went to the WIC office. Followed by the commissary. Yeah, can you imagine how much fun I had with two nap-less two year olds?!

Because of all the running around, we were lazy and had Burger King for dinner. I know, there are plenty of other people that lead way busy lives and still manage to prepare a healthy dinner. Under normal conditions, I can be that girl. but today, I just had no desire to. So my chicken sandwich and french fries were just fine with me.

And the strawberry milkshake in my freezer is going to be amazing!
