Ok. Any of you that are married...have you ever looked at one of your kids or someone you're standing beside with that look of "what did they just say"?? Lol!! Well lets just say that last nite was one of those times.
Honestly, I've said some things before where I've realized it and waited for the laughter that I knew would follow. Some times I've said things where I didn't realize what I'd said and still heard the laughter and had to be explained to of exactly what had transpired. However, last nite it wasn't me!
We were eating supper of taco stuff on tortilla chips cause I didn't have any tortillas. Austin hasn't been feeling so well the past couple days with a bad cough so he'd gotten up to get a drink. I happened to look in the reflection of the back door window and realized that he was making some weird noises followed by a sight that appeared to be liquid. I wasn't exactly sure that he was throwing up but was thinking...the boy better not be throwing up on the floor when the trash can is right there. I said, Austin...you'd better not be puking on the floor. From the kitchen came a strangled reply of "I'm choking"! Troll ran out to the kitchen and says, "What are you doing?" Austin says, "I'm choking on a chip!" And then comes the question of where I was totally confused. Troll says, "Where'd you get the chip?" Lol!!! Huh?? Both Jetta and I looked at each other and said, "What did he just say?" I mean it wasn't like we were eating chips or anything!!! What was even more funny was there was poor Austin choking on the tortilla chip and even he couldn't believe what his dad had just asked him and answered, "Where do you think I got that chip!"
O some of the dumb things we say!!!
A glimpse into the cup!

Thanksgiving
Wow!! What a long, fun-filled couple days. I went to my mom's on Wednesday to be able to be there to help with preperations for Thanksgiving day. I set up her tree for her when I got there so that was out of the way.
Thanksgiving Day went well and it was nice to be with family and friends. We took the kids over to the gym for a bit and played basketball and volleyball. It'd been so long since I'd played volleyball that I've sore arms! But we had fun.
We'd planned on getting up at 3 a.m. on Friday to go shopping and decided that we would leave and go to the outlets in Hagerstown. Once the kids fell asleep Troll and I got in our truck and left. It was 11:40 p.m. (Thurs). Drove down to the outlets and for the next hour and 1/2 drove through the parking lot at creep speed trying to find a spot. It was crazy. We witnessed numerous incidents where it left me wondering if people had been injured. There were people that would walk thru the parking lot and find an empty spot, stand there and wait for their party to bring their vehicle around. One incident ivolved three vehicles all nosed to get in and their parties standing there in the spot arguing, screaming and all kinds of motions. Another one was a guy standing in the spot and a lady pulls up. She wanted the spot bad. He turned his back to her and crossed his arms. She nosed her car up until she was touching his legs. I honestly didn't look anymore! I was afraid she'd decided to run over him! Anyway...after 1 and 1/2 hours of that we decided that we weren't going through anymore so we left and went to the mall to get a spot. Since it opened at 3:30 and we didn't want to go thru driving around for hours we got a parking spot at 1:30 and then walked over to Shoney's for breakfast. I've never eaten breakfast so early in my life!
The mall opened at 3:30. We went through there and got some of the things we went there specifically for. Next we drove to Target. They opened at 5 and we got there a few minutes before. Honestly...I've never seen so many people at a store in all my life. It was a mass of mess. Wrapped clear around everywhere. Doors opened and from the parking lot came another mass of humanity. They rushed the doors trying to get in ahead of all the people in line. Since there was a baracade of carts in front of those to prevent that there were people jumping and shoving and pushing. Shouts and curses rang out and went balisitc. Troll and I looked at each other and said, "Nah...I don't think so!" We opted to go to Kolhs!! Walked down there and it was all that kind of mess INSIDE the store! So we left, drove to McDonald's to grab coffee, and headed to Walmart. We were there almost three hours. Kmart, Sam's Club, Target and then to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch. Got back to my mom's around 1 p.m. tired and feeling ready to crash but happy that we conquered!! We left there and got home at 4ish. I was in bed soon after 6 and sound asleep! I woke up at almost midnite and realized that everyone else had crashed and didn't know it!! Lights were on, computer on!!! I got up at 7:15 this morning after 12 hours of sleep!!!
So that was our expierience for Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday. Ready and willing to do it all again next year.

More bloopers
As you found in the last post (if you are a new reader) anything happens at this house. I've stopped with the getting shocked (for the most part) about 5 years ago when i finally decided that stuff was gonna happen as long as our kids and us were around! So read on and find out the latest.
This past Sunday a good friend of ours was here for lunch. He pretty much knows our family and all that could happen and might happen. However, this was the first time that his brother came. The meal was a success (for the most part) and I was proud of our kids and how they behaved in a pretty much decent manner...albeit a quite noisy manner. We adults were sitting around finishing up our dessert and drinking coffee when all the sudden the remaining kids at the table just busted up laughing like crazy. I glanced down at the end of the table and saw a shocked face on the brother. There laying on his plate (thank the Lord he'd finished everything) was a pair of Bia's panties that she'd decided to throw at him!!! Oh my word!! I do believe that tops the list of all the crazy things that happen in our house. I mean I've seen her come downstairs in bathing suit, winter tights, socks on her hands and church shoes...or she's come downstairs with absolutely nothing and sat down beside people!! So with her you just never know. However...this one took the cake, prize, blue ribbon.....trophy!!!LOL!!!

Uggh!
You know there are some times in life where you wonder why in the world you brought a subject up. Just such a case happened yesterday. It left me groaning and shaking ever so slightly. Thought I'd share this with you!!!
Yesterday we were sitting around the table after lunch. A friend had come to eat with us and we were chatting about this and that. Somehow college days came up and some of the dumb things that happened while at college. As I didn't go to college I couldn't share in the humor. It managed to get around to the disgusting things and Troll mentioned the fact that he'd gargled water from a toilet in the guys dorm during a truth or dare moment. I about gagged and said that was terrible and how he could have done something so disgusting was beyond me. He looked at me and said, "honey, I can think of worse things to do that I've not done." I said, well what could be worse than gargling toilet water? He said, "Drinking from a urinal!" I shook and said, Awww sick! Not two seconds later a voice at the end of the table piped up and said, "Oh, I've done that!" I think in unison we three adults turned to stare down our oldest child and exclaim, "Austin!!!" LOL!!! He informed us that while he was in public school he'd drank from the urinal!!! He was only in kindergarten and 1st grade in a public school so I guess since he's still alive that it didn't hurt him. However, after this declaration, I've decided my kids can live through anything!! Wow!
