poison control, fortune cookies, things i'm annoyed with, and other fun things.

ahhh what a week it has been. this week has been MUCH less stressful, thank you. but alas, it seems like life is always a WEE bit stressful, no matter where you are or what you are doing. i suppose that is just life, just a test from God to see how we deal with our earthly lives.... ok, no more of this seriousness talky talky. let's get down to business.

first, we will start with a very interesting day that was saturday... scott and i woke up a few minutes before 6am, left our house about 6:15am, and spent about 3 1/2 hours garage sale-ing... i know you're jealous, try to hold it in... then we went out to my parents' house to get our boy and to watch a baseball game. it's official. we are never allowed to watch another St. Louis baseball game at my parents' house. they lose EVERY time we go out there to watch a game. after baseball and pizza, my dad tells scott that he gets to help my dad haul hay. you can imagine scott's excitement. and then I get brought in to all the fun of this... yes, i had to help with hauling hay... i did the girlie job though... scott and my dad walked around this huge field filled with hay bales as i drove the truck, pulling the trailer, so they could load the hay up on the trailer. yes, it was a fun time. fast forward about 3 or 4 hours and we're home... lincoln is watching a new Blues Clues video we got at a garage sale and Scott and I are watching-- Dateline or something in the other room. I look into the room Lincoln's in and see him holding my deodorant. so, first reaction "LINCOLN, NO! put that back!" and defiantly as he's ever been, he opened the lid, and took himself a nice big bite of it. yeah, so disgusting... and i'm thinking "crap. what do i do now?" of course the back of the deodorant says IN CASE OF INGESTION, SEE A DOCTOR OR CALL POISON CONTROL IMMEDIATELY. fun for me. so i call poison control... "How much does the child weigh?" "uh, about 35 pounds..." "Did he eat a mouthful or less?" "yeah, it was a little less than a complete mouthful" "Well, he may vomit a few times, but just give him a full glass of water or juice and he should be fine" I must admit that was my first ever call to poison control... no vomiting on Lincoln's part, so it was all good. but what a fun experience THAT was.

Today we went to lunch with my parents at Harvest Moon. All you can eat Chinese food? hell yes! so... it comes time to open the fortune cookies and Lincoln's says "Others will be impressed with you generosity" HAHAHAH, he's a freaking 2-yr-old, he has absolutely NO generosity whatsoever... Mine was "You will obtain your goal if you maintain your course" and my dad was kind enough to add "IN BED!!!" ...ah, my dad.... it's nice to know that even when we're halfway to 110, we can be immature. then scott's was the best. i could barely even read it out loud i was laughing so damn hard. "Flowers would brighten the day of your close friend". hahaha.

uhhh i'm so annoyed with people who complain about their lives being so horrible, or their parents being SO horrible, when their parents do EVERYTHING for them and don't expect anything in return... people who talk crap about or bash their parents when their parents are constantly giving them money, paying for their cars, gas, insurance, food, clothes, entertainment... get up off your ass and do something for yourself if you're going to complain about how horrible your parents are.... if they're so horrible, stop relying on them for everything. freaking spoiled brats. ok, i feel better now.

i hope all of you are having a lovely weekend and have a great week next week! we're supposed to be getting some rain, so, prayers for that! and i'm excited because the end of next week is bringing some cold weather! get excited!!!!
