"Throw me a FRICKIN bone!" AND Things I LOVE

Austin Powers.
There, now you can't guess the answer and make me WAIT for your response as to who the heck you are and where I can send you some junk.
Loser Amie. You better pipe up girl. I got people who will
TAKE
YOU
DOWN
Mean Girls is my absolute favorite movie of all time.
No but for real.
Who and where are you? And why did you answer if you don't wanna win?
Whatever.

OKAY.

So now on to bigger and better things. I saw this list on Raschel's blog and loved her creativity. I'm stealing it.

Because that's what I do.
And my brain hasn't been functioning properly since the accident.

Ya know...

The pregnancy.

1. I LOVE that Valinda is going to get my wedding dress and m

ake it into something grand. I need to call her and tell her my dreams about it. I think I want to just use the buttons or small pieces for the baby's blessing outfit and THEN,

DUM DUM DUM!

I want her to create a MINI version of this dress for Kora's baptism when she turns 8.

Thank goodness I have a WHOLE YEAR to save up for that.

Yikes.

2. I LOVE when Miah says to me,

"Mom, I think you should just feed me these orange cokes for the rest of my life since I drank the whole thing!"

3. I LOVE watching Penny eat his favorite foods.

Popcorn

and

Cheese.

4. I LOVE when the mutha is right. About a week ago Jake told me that he was going to use his money to buy this game. He said he and my Lover had already discussed it and it was ok'd REGARDLESS of the fact that the Lover and I have had many discussions about not allowing Jake to play violent video games.

Anywho.

I took Jake to purchase the $60 game (used) still. I am obviously very outnumbered in this household and I hate when I am made to feel like the bad guy because "Mom won't let us". This is why I caved. Sometimes I get sick of trying to make my point...I'd rather let it prove itself.

After only TWO days of playing the game, Jake starts being really grouchy and bossy towards me and the other kids. I noticed it right away but didn't associate it back to the game. Then it hit me. It's the game that's making him be ugly. I took my case to the attorney (Lover) and told him that I KNEW we shouldn't have allowed him to have the game. Austin agreed that he had seen a difference in Jake and told Jake he had to return it.

Jake

was

PISSED.

Bad news is...

No receipt.

We went to one Gamestop and they offered Jake $20 IN STORE credit for that game and 3 others. Uhmm, no. Although I was willing for Jake to take a loss to learn a lesson, I didn't want him to be screwed.

SO off to another Gamestop.

There I told them the story.

From the beginning.

Too violent, I said no, Dad said yes, Jake gets the game....

and Mom is right.

They look up my account and see that I purchased it just 6 days ago.

They show pity on the mother who is carrying 4 kids AND 1 in her belly.

They offer a FULL cash refund.

But instead, Jake picks this stuff...

AND
BOTH for the price of the violent video game.
Everyone is happy.
I told Jake in the car, "You know that guy didn't have to give you anything back today, right?" He nodded.
I said, "Sometimes when it's hard to choose the right but you do anyway, Heavenly Father blesses you."
He nodded again.
Lesson taught.
I love Jake.


5. I LOVE being crafty with my Modge Podge. I can't tell you what's a-brewin, but it sure is fun using my skilz. I may not be an artist in San Francisco but I do have a TAD bit of craftiness runnin through my veins.


6. I LOVE seeing my Koko walk around stores and over to friends' houses confidently in my veil.

7. I LOVE having my blog stalkers confront me when they see me out in public. Especially ones I've never personally met before. This little cutie named Katie spotted me and Amber at the pool yesterday! She is a SUPER doll and her husband is sooo precious and polite (I know because he came to my house for a party in VA). Sorry I gank'd this picture from your site but I wanted to show people that I'm not lying. You are for real.

8. I LOVE when I make a comeback. MA, did you notice that post before this one? 28 comments? And you think my fan base is shriveling? I think not...
BOO YAW!

9. I LOVE that my pregnancy counter has stayed at 100 days for like 100 years. What the crap man? How is it not breaking that 100 mark? OH and look what "I LOVE" post decided to pop up on number 9...how ironic. BLECK.
