This is a question I often ask myself.  Today was definitely one of those days in which I had to stop myself several times and wonder what kind of freakish lunatics have we turned in to!  It all started with my husband deciding to step outside of his usual serious grizzly bear demeanor and let the world see that he does occasionally kid around.  He was commenting on every one’s Twitter and Facebook status or maybe I should say making fun.  I always feel the need to come behind him and apologize just in case the person really didn’t know he was kidding.  He LOVES it when I do this!    So then he decided to ask the world on Facebook and Twitter if it would be insensitive of him to rent me a hoveround for the last few weeks of my pregnancy.  When I read it I really didn’t know what a hoveround was.  I was thinking it was some sort of robot that would follow me around the house and clean up crumbs and stuff.  Wrong.  It’s one of those motorized chairs for old people!  Well, this led to a day full of bantering back and forth with each other and everyone else on Facebook/Twitter.  I will say though that I laughed harder today than I have in several years.  Either that or I just don’t have as much oxygen because the life is being sucked out of me by this baby so it felt like I was laughing really hard.  All I know is at one point I did stop breathing and saw a bright light!

Later this evening we had to run to Home Depot to get some screws.  That’s right, not even ice will stop me from completing my projects!  We decided to take the back roads since there is the possibility of ice (even though we haven’t seen any).  Since we have been couped up in the house all day we loaded up the entire family for the ride.  I have on no makeup (which I scare myself every time I pass by a mirror) and the boys are still in their pajamas from last night!  Bill was the one getting out so it really didn’t matter.  We passed by Parker’s elementary school on the way and as we were approaching I told him we were going to go ahead and drop him off tonight so we could make sure he was on time for school tomorrow.  Ayden said we could not do this because he was wearing his pajamas!  Parker just gave me an “Ahh, Mom” and didn’t take me seriously.  We went on to Home Depot and on the way back my husband decides to actually pull into the school.  As we’re driving up he told Parker that the school had called and everyone was going to spend the night tonight and it was ok to come in your pajamas.  Parker said “Really?”  Bill decided to go with it and told him they were having a big pajama party.  Parker wanted to know where they would sleep and I told him in the cafeteria of course.  Bill said “Yeah, just like on Harry Potter.”  Parker said, “Wow, this is the best ever.”  Now I’m thinking great, how are we going to get out of this one!  So we pull in the drive and of course it’s dark and there are no cars.  So, I say, “Oh, great!  No one showed up!  I can’t believe this!”  Parker said, “Are you sure?  There’s one car here.”  I told him it was the Janitor’s car and then said “Oh well, maybe next year!”  I then gave Bill the evil eye and told him to confess!  He told Parker we were just kidding.  Parker didn’t really find it all that funny.

So, the day is almost over and a new day will begin tomorrow.   Bill and I promise to not torment the world and our children tomorrow.  Unless of course you open yourself up for it and make it easy and then I just can’t resist!  Just remember, it’s all in good fun my pretties, all in good fun!

And in other life news. . . I am having a baby shower on Saturday and I’m soooo excited!  I feel a little guilty having one since it’s my 4th child but I’ve never had a girl and I refuse to put her in blue pajamas so it will be really helpful!  Yesterday I decided to try and find a new outfit to wear to it.  Trying on clothes is always quite fun 3 weeks before you’re about to have a baby!  I was by myself and picked something I thought looked cute.  I got home and tried it on for my brutally honest husband who quickly informed me that NO this would not work and that I looked like I was wearing a blanket.  What?  I look like I’m wearing a blanket?  Well, then I guess you can either cover up with me or I’ll lie down and you can have a picnic on me!   Don’t really get the blanket part but either way now I don’t know what I’ll wear on Saturday!  If you’re coming to the shower and I have on the blanket then you’ll know I couldn’t find anything else to wear!

Well, enough rambling for tonight.  The kids are actually standing beside me asking to go to bed so I guess I should oblige (and if you want to know how to get your kids to do this all you have to do is say go clean up the play room!)  Happy Ice Day to all the Texas friends!
