A woman is like a TEA BAG - you never know how strong she is until she gets into HOT WATER. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Miles Murphy turns 6!

My little ham of a child, Milesy, turned six years old today.  For this precious birthday, I let him pick his favorite lunch spot - and of course, we headed straight for the golden arches.  (Yes, we watched the "Supersize Me" movie at least five times - I know, I know.)

Alas, all things in moderation - and so both boys ordered the dreaded Chicken McNuggets.  According to the movie, these gut bombs are made entirely from the breast meat of excessively-aged chickens that are no longer viable for anything else.  All of this served up with a side of crisp, salty fries!

Minutes later, this healthful decadence came together with a germ-encrusted finale -  crawling through McDonald's PlayLand for hours.  Yes, that bacteria-ridden maze of tubes and slides that my friend Jody jokingly said, "is cleaned once a year, whether it needs it or not."  Joy!  Life is good - at least for a six year old!
