Last week, while preparing dinner, my youngest son came up to me and said "Mommy, we were racially profiled today." My heart stopped. I immediately called his older brothers into the kitchen to ask what happened. My oldest began "Mommy, well I don't think he raically profiled us". "Who", I questioned. "Oh, the cop who stopped us." Cops?   What?   How?   The boys were walking to church camp.  It's not even a 1/4 mile from our house.  Cops?  My kids?  OH MY GOD!   My precious twin sons have been blessed with height. By the 5th grade they were nearly 6' tall despite being among the youngest in their class. I often joke "they're tall and thin like their mom". It always gets a smile given at 5'3" and ___ lbs., I'm neither tall nor thin.  When I drop the kids off at school, the youngest is escorted across the crosswalk by a crossing guard and must walk while the older two are d...

Last month some friends and I got together at our local Chick-fil-A to sample their latest menu addition (drum roll please):   Grilled Chicken .   This year, I grabbed Kimberly, Nichole and Tammy for this sampling event, oh and the youngest of Los Tres Amigos.  I love visiting our local Chick-fil-A .  It's almost as if we're visiting family.  Dale; his wife, Linda; PR rep, Mickey and the crew are like old friends.  We're always greeted with a friendly "Hello" and a great big smile.   Our visit was pretty special despite constant interruptions.  I saw a couple of old friends I hadn't seen in months.  One was there with her kids just having dinner and the other was there with her kids attending a birthday party.  My kid saw a few of his classmates. Everyone knows Dale Linda and would stop by our table for a "high five" or a handshake.  Then there was the birthday parties.  This location doesn't really host a lot of b...
