The month of September is over and with that our weather has cooled off into the 70's. Have I mentioned I like the weather here? For those who I spend too much time with on the phone (my mother being the number one - poor thing has to listen to me talk for hours every week) many of these stories I'll post soon you've undoubtedly heard.
First I would like to tell you all how to completely shove your foot into your mouth.....and then gag on it. One Sunday during Sacrament Meeting I happened to grab a rather large piece of bread. I popped it in and started chewing. I glanced at Frank; yep, he also noticed it was disgusting. He quickly chewed and swallowed. I looked around for something to spit it out in- I had nothing. Grimacing I kept chewing, "ok I can do this" "it's not so bad" "now you just have to swallow" I did. Wished I hadn't and looked around for something to vomit in- nothing. I decide complaining to Frank will help me get over it. The meeting continues and I live. After, I walked to my 9-10 year old primary class and as usual I chatted with the kids for awhile before beginning the lesson. Topics included the kids starting school, and what kinds of food we like, and then the girl next to me asked the class what we all thought of the sacrament bread. Most of the kids started to respond in mutters and I responded as well. The girl didn't hear me so she asked me directly and I replied, " I thought it was disgusting; it made me almost throw up". I saw her face and I began to feel a little panicky. "um, did you bring the bread today?" (I almost didn't want her to answer) Her face fell into her hands and she burst into tears saying, "I made it".
And there you have it.....foot in mouth....then shove.
On a more physically, but less emotionally destructive note, Derek is a whirlwind of disaster.
"Hey Jill, how has your week been?"
"Oh something like this....
On Sunday Joseph and Derek got into the matches and lit one with a nice scorch mark on the box to prove it.
On Tuesday Derek dumped out a new box of dishwasher soap all over the carpet.
On Wednesday Derek and Joseph dumped an entire bottle of shampoo into their bath.
On Thursday Derek and Joseph got into all of my Christmas decorations, unwrapped every roll of wrapping paper, pulled out all the ornaments -breaking many into teeny tiny pieces, strung the lights around and plugged them in.
On Friday Derek dumped out 3-4 bottles of spices onto the counter and stirred them up.
On Saturday Derek and Joseph smeared Vaseline all down the back of my couch and on the carpet.
On Sunday Derek got toothpaste/toothbrush for his lesson in nursery, came home and smeared toothpaste all over my bedding and the bathroom counter.
How was your week?"
