where did the simple life go

As i sit at my home computer or at just one of the 4 we have at the house , i look around and wonder where did the simple life go ! member when we was kids and during the summer our parents thorwed us outta the house and we only came home when the sun started going down we ran the streets, all the other parents kept an eye on us and somebody's mom always had cold kool-aid made the tv had only 3 channels and you had to get up to change it we played with sticks and rocks and rode our bikes every where i think how much my kids missed out on now its cell phones, computer games , and 700 channels on the tv they dont ride there bikes with out body pads and helments, ya'll know how many scars i got from rolling a bike all earned with pride you fall get back on and you never cried , i think could my kids handle the life that i had and why couldnt i give it to them why couldn't they enjoy the things that i did ! or would they enjoy it as much as i did or would it just be mins before there running back in the house complaining of the heat , so everythime you drive past the old places you played as a kid put down your cell phone and remember all the fun you had when you didnt even know you was having fun

yea haw y'all

so it's been awhile since i posted a blog with the new year here I'm trying to post more food stuff with all the coming and goings , it's hard for us to sit down and spend time with our family. it takes just as much time to make a meal, as It does to order one, somebody go get it, and deceiver who got what ( been there done that ) .... don't get me Wrong there are times when even i don't feel like cooking its those time s when i look to the quick fix section in my brain chili dog's and chips are nothing to be ashamed of. a spaghetti can be another one it don't have to be a cooked all day grab the ragu and spice it up they'll never know u didn't fly to Italy and get it just for them as I'm rambling on with this i think what am i gonna fix for supper ... its a quick fix night think it's gonna be beans and cornbread which on a cold night hits the spot so get in the kitchen fake it y'all it;s just cooking your family will love ya cause you just put home made on the table
