Frozen Strawberry Chardon-ade

The boys started their homeschooling today, and while they did awesome with the school work, they weren't too crazy about the new schedule.  Pair their uncooperativeness with the never-ending cleaning, and put a fussy Noelle in the mix, and let's just say Mommy needs a drink.
Around 1pm, my senses told me that I'd need a drink by dinner, so I prepped one and put it in the freezer.  (I won't lie: I took a few sips to hold me over; it's been a rough day.)
It's probably nothing new to some of you, but I named it something funky; so it's mine for the evening.
My brain is completely fried, so I have no smooth transition.  Here's how I made it.
You need:
-Lemonade
-Sliced Strawberries
-Chardonnay-- I used Cupcake Chardonnay today.
(I used lemon juice and made my own lemonade, so I could add extra sugar! Sweeter is better in my opinion, but regular lemonade would work fine)
...
I mixed all the ingredients together, blended them in a blender, and put it in a freezer.  I didn't measure anything. But you don't really need measurements: All I know is I used 5 strawberries, and the rest is really up to you!
4 LONG HOURS LATER: I had a Frozen Strawberry Chardon-ade waiting on me. That is also pretty yummy with pineapples, might I add!
...
I would say that my mixed drink was 1/4 lemonade and 3/4 wine.  Because I made my own sugary lemonade, it was still pretty sweet; I barely tasted the wine.  For me, that makes it a tad more effective.

UPDATE: My husband is anti-wine, and he hi-jacked my drink! Said it was "pretty good".
