My Texas Girl

Abbie had a special event today at school, and I decided I would go a little early and join her for lunch.

We've been planning it for weeks, and Abbie told me several times what it was I should wear and how important it was that I wear my hair "long" because a ponytail is "not my best look." I did my best to comply with her requests.

She originally wanted to "buy" lunch for me at school. I checked out the menu this morning, and had to break it to her that Mommy was NOT going to be eating fish sticks or cheese pizza cut into squares. So, I told her that I would be bringing lunch for the both of us.

There were other parents at the lunch who apparently couldn't bring themselves to dine on the fish sticks and ketchup combo either. So, they were toting in the standard special lunch treats. There were Sonic corn dogs proudly displaying their grease content through the paper bags, McDonald's happy meals, and chicken nuggets for days. But, what did MY girl get...

That's right folks! Abbie got herself a big ol' BBQ plate complete with BBQ sauce and lemonade from Smokey Mo's. She kept telling her friends, "Do you even know what this is!! This is fried okra and tater salad!!!"

I can't wait to get this kid on the baby back ribs and sweet tea. Seriously, she has to be the coolest five-year-old out there!

Just another day livin' it up in Texas and Being Billingsley...
