My Mom is a Wine-O

Okay - let's hope this isn't what my kids remember of me when they're older.

Of course, we rarely go without having a glass of wine with dinner, but that's the extent of when they would see me with it. Mostly, it's at the end of the day when they're in bed and I need to relax. Red wine just seems to make the day seem better somehow. If we lived in Europe, we'd drink it for breakfast!

One glass before bed... that's all it takes. I'm not an alcoholic or anything... or at least I haven't taken the first step to admitting it. :)

Thankfully, DH is the town supplier of all things "wine." I like to consider myself "Quality Control."

We've got to test the products to make sure the client's are happy!

We've actually had family members come into our wine-cellar (a.k.a - closet with milk crates and boxes full of wine...) and comment on how they couldn't live in a house with so much wine in it. "How do you keep yourselves under control?" they ask.

Well, maybe they need to start admitting to something? Huh?

I guess we're lucky to not have "addictive personalities," otherwise, there could be an issue.

The funniest thing I can remember was when my son was in preschool, they were learning about the food groups. They were talking about fruits and vegetables and asking the kids to name different types of fruit. When grapes were mentioned, my then four year old little boy raises his hand and says, "Mrs. ___ do you know what grapes are good for?" She replies, "what's that A?" He states, "they are great for making wine!"

Thankfully she knows us and replies, "Yes, A, that's right! Grapes are used to make wine!"

This was a reminder to me that you just never know what kids are going to come out with!

We'll see what they remember about their childhood when they're older.

This might be scary.
