Yesterday Sam cried all the cries, and it was for good reason: he had a runny nose.
Unrelated – I really wanted a mimosa during naptime. But, I only had white wine, OJ and sparkling water. So, I came up with the Jennosa (as Kendra dubbed it). And it was horrible. I mean, it looked like a mimosa, but the taste? MiGROSSa.
Here’s what you don’t do:
Mix equal parts of Aldi’s finest $2 Winking Owl with Target brand OJ
Add in sparkling water to your liking
Take a swig, gag, pour it down the drain
Maybe it was a bad idea. Maybe it was just horrible wine (most likely culprit). But, from now on, I will stick to what I normally do when the kids drive me crazy: a shot of tequila is always nice.

This brought back hilarious memories of when my husband and I were dating. We tried to make “poor man’s mimosas “with white wine and orange pop. The smell was the worst part. Yuck.
When I was younger (much, much too young to be drinking anyway) my brother and I were home alone and decided to take shots of tequila. “Well,” we thought, “you need a chaser for shots, right?” And the only thing that seemed like it could be a chaser that was in our fridge was Cream Soda. So, yeah, that was awful. We took an awful shot, chased it with Cream Soda and promptly threw up in the sink. And when I say “we” I mean “me”. I tested it out first. Obviously my brother was smarter than I was!
Oh my! That sounds like a drink recipe I would cook up. I’ve learned my lesson – you can’t mess up straight Irish whiskey.
