Cotton Candy
We took the kids to a baseball game and invited their aunt Amber to come with us. Little did we know the trouble she would cause. She decided that she wanted to buy our kids cotton candy because every time the lady would come around my kids would look longingly at her. Chad and I are not big fans of cotton candy or what it does to their teeth but their aunt bought it for them anyway. And this is what happened:

Lassie
How, may you ask, do I know that I have a Lassie? Because people keep telling me that I do. I have never seen the movie, or read the book, but apparently Lucky is now called Lassie.
A couple of weeks ago my dad fell off a ladder and got hurt. I didn't know this because I am not aware of a lot that goes on around me. All of the sudden Lucky comes running downstairs and starts pacing at my feet. So I follow her upstairs and she starts pacing at the back door. I open it and she runs to my dad who is holding is elbow and not looking to good. I jokingly asked, "What ya do fall off the ladder?" To which he replied "YES!" Then I felt really bad and ran over to help. He wouldn't let me to anything to help. He thought he cracked his elbow, I offer to take him to the ER, which he turned down. He said he knocked himself out and I said, you might have a concussion. His reply, "Oh I'm all right, I got to go to work anyway." "WHAT!" Who goes to work after cracking their elbow and knocking themself out? Well he kindly let me put a bandaid on the elbow that was cracked because it was bleeding a ton.
As we are sitting there I tell him what Lucky did. He looks at the dog and says, "Oh my heck I have my own Lassie! She saved my life!" Now, I looked at the man who is sitting there holding his elbow, bleeding, with cuts all over him, and possibly a concussion and I thought, "How in the world did she save your life?" Lucky coming to get me and me going out there made no difference at all. How can the dog save his life if he wants no help? But I let that go and said nothing.
Many people heard about the dog saving his life. My dad made the dog eggs and toast, steak and rolls for the next couple of days. Oh please! Then we hear about a dog on the news who saved his family by showing the firemen where his house was that was on fire. My dad and brother start talking about it, saying how Lucky would do the same thing!! Oh my word this is getting out of hand. First of all Lucky would never find the firefighters and if she did she would probably lead them to the wrong house! And second, Lucky would sleep through the entire fire so she would be saving NOBODY!
Yes I think it's awesome that she knew my dad was hurt and came to get me. But by no means did she save a life. But I guess it's kind of nice for people to think that so she got a little special treatment for awhile. She probably deserved it after all. She puts up with all of us!

Happy Anniversary
Yesterday was mine and Chad's 10th anniversary. Yes, we got married on Cinco de Mayo. We figured that would be the only way for both of us to remember the date. But unfortunately, this year I sucked big time. I didn't forget that it was our anniversary, I was just thinking that we weren't going to do anything. Yup, I got him no gift, no card and he said Happy Anniversary first. You may think that I am a terrible wife and you may just be right. Blame it on pregnancy or the fact that I am trying to move or that I am just too plain lazy to do anything right now. Whichever one you choose you are right.
I got a surprise with 14 roses being delivered to the house. Why the number 14 I don't know but I will take them. We got to go to dinner and go SHOPPING!!!!! (My favorite thing if it's for me). Well for all my sucky wifeness I got my payback. As we were leaving dinner I stood up and saw quite a few people look at my belly and then start talking to each other. Then at another store while we were in line a little boy says, "Wow mom look at her belly!" The mom looked at me and apologized, but hey I don't care. This belly is hard to miss.
Chad secretly might have been smiling and laughing, but if he was he didn't show it. He was either being really nice or didn't want to say anything because he secretly agreed. Who knows and it doesn't matter. I owe in one.

The art of Language
The last couple of months I have begun to realize something. I don't talk so appropriately in front of my children. When the boys were little they didn't seem to mimic me, or care what I said. But now I have little Miss Lex who repeats anything she hears. At first I thought it was a little funny but now I'm not so sure.
About two months ago I put Lex in swimming lessons. She was so excited to go; then she saw who her teacher was and all excitment left. He was a big man who scared her to death. When I say big, I mean no offense, but he probably weighed close to 250 and he was probably 5"5. About 10 min into her lesson she started to cry uncontrollably. I calmed her down and told her we would try the next day. But, the same thing happened the next day, and the day after that she wouldn't even get in the pool. I went to get my money back, and while I was standing there she asked if she had to go back. I told her no and she said, "Good, because that guy was a FREAK!" Now how do you argue with that? I wouldn't want to take lessons from a freak either!
A couple of weeks later she was running and ran into the wall. Her response? "Oh Suck!" Then tonight she was wrestling Chad. He was pinning her to the ground and she said, "Your creeping me out dad!" He looked at me and started to laugh and I kept thinking, where in the Crap did she hear that? After a couple of minutes of wrestling she finally told Chad to stop because he was making her onery. Which I swear I don't know where she has heard that. Honest!!
So maybe I need to watch how I talk in front of her. But it's SO hard. I mean freaks kind of creep me out and not only that, they make me onery! So go ahead and express yourself Lex. Because I don't think I can stop!

Lessons Learned
You know how they say that you should "lead by example," when teaching your kids? Well my motto around here is "Do as I say, not as I do." I learned this the hard way last week.
Pk has a tendency to lose things. He does not keep track of anything and then afterwards tells me that is wasn't that important to begin with. Two weeks ago he lost his wallet that had about 6 dollars in it. I said, "Pk that is a lot of money, how did you lose your wallet?" He then told me that 6 dollars wasn't that much money mom, so he didn't care. I then said that it may have only been 6 dollars but he should think about how long it took him to get that 6 dollars.
A couple of nights later Chad gave the kids their money for doing their chores. Pk got down from the dinner table and there by his plate was 3 dollars. So I decided that this would be the perfect time to teach him a lesson and I took the money and hid it. He didn't even notice for two days and then he came up to me and said, "Mom I know you took my money where did you put it." I said, "I don't know Pk. I am not going to give it back to you until you find your wallet." Chad heard me and said, "Come on Pk I will go help you find it."
As soon as they left the room I started to panic. I could not for the life of me remember where I had put his money! I tried to think and think of where I put it, praying that they wouldn't find his wallet. (I know that's a terrible thing to think). But I needed more time!! After about 10 minutes Pk came in with a huge smile on his face saying that dad had found it behind his dresser. "Where did you put my money mom?" My reply was "Gee I don't know Pk where do YOU think I put your money?" I was stalling, yes I was. Pk said, "Well mom I think you put it behind the computer because that's where I saw you put it." I look over and sure enough there was 3 dollars sticking out from behind the computer. I told him he could go get it, but that he needed to take better care of his things.
The whole time I was giving this speech I was trying not to laugh thinking how stupid I sounded. I was trying to teach him a lesson about how to take care of his things, and I can't keep track of his lousy 3 dollars. The good thing is that Pk never knew this occured. The bad thing is that I know, and now I am done trying to teach anybody a lesson. I always end up teaching it to myself instead!

Yes its True
I haven't been keeping up on my blog like I should and there is a reason why. Yes, we are expecting baby number 4! Now, the reason I feel I need to put this out there is because some people have seen my belly expand and grow the last 4 and 1/2 months and then are surprised when they find out. So that leads me to believe that my belly has always been quite large and for me to look like I am pregnant is not new to anyone!
This lady (who shall remain nameless) was very shocked when this guy that we both know said congratulations to me. She looked at me and said, "For what?" Now come on!!! My belly looks like I am 8 months along, my belly button has been sticking out for the last 2 months and you are shocked?? How big is my belly normally? Then 10 minutes later we see someone else that we both know. This lady tells her that I am pregnant and what does this other lady do?? "No way Michelle I never would have guessed?" Well feeling quite depressed I share this story with Chad and my mother expecting them to shake their head and say something to make me feel better. NOPE! They both do a pity little laugh and saying NOTHING! So yes I am pregnant, but if you see me please don't act surprised or my tummy tuck is coming a lot sooner than Chad thinks!
