Flags

I am posting this flag as symbolism. I am surrendering or throwing-in-the- towel. After watching American Idol on Wednesday night, I am done with reality TV. I mentioned in a previous post that I get too emotionally involved in reality TV. After I watch reality TV I can't sleep at night because I can't stop thinking about the show. I decided to watch American Idol this season. I was sucked into the show only to be left disappointed. That cute David Archuleta didn't win and I sulked the rest of the night. My husband and kids saw my disappointment. After I complained Max asked "mom, what does emotionally involved mean?" Did the judges do it on purpose? Did they declare David A. the next American Idol so that David C. would win? Questions like these run through my head through out the night. Then the songs that David A. sung go through my head as well. I'm done.

Wait! Why is Maggie holding this flag? The flag, and many flags, were on my neighbors lawn. They were markings for future sprinkler heads. They also marked gas lines. Maggie didn't see that though. She thought they were colorful flags to take out of the grass. That's what she did, she took them out of the neighbors grass. I was mortified. I wondered how I was going to tell my neighbors about my little thief. I left a message on their phone. Luckily, the sprinkler system was done. The flags actually needed to be taken out. Whew!
