Ok. There is a book series that my hubby read when he was a little boy. It was about a family called the Stupids, and basically they just did everything wrong. So when a million things go wrong in our family, and we end up just working against ourselves, we say, "The Stupids go to the park", or "The Stupids take a road trip".
This time. It's the Stupids do Christmas. Today, I spent most of my afternoon in Dave's emergency room. Because of a kidney stone. Dave, by the way, was not in attendance as he was at home, puking his poor guts out. Yes, another one bites the dust. He has it now too.
After pain meds, anti nausea meds, and a ct scan, they sent me on my way with a script in case the little buggers still inside of me decide to come out. I am hoping that happens after Christmas.
I still managed to get most of the shopping done with most of the children. Tomorrow John Paul and I will finish up.
How does she do it, you are all asking yourselves? I have no flippin idea how I do it. I guess it's because Polish women are strong, I mean we used to have our babies in the onion fields and then keep right on working. Or whatever it was Polish women helped farm. Maybe beets. Or garlic.
At any rate, a woman who has birthed nine babies, knows how to get up off a gurney, and head for the nearest Target with three kids in tow. You do what you gotta do.
And heck, everything is on sale right now for those last minute purchases.
At least the Stupids will have some nice gifts to give each other on Jesus' birthday.
Cabbage fields. Get well. Nice icon.
ReplyDeleteThanks. This weird Caps fan had it on his blog.
ReplyDeletemy dd likes those books. I think they are terrible but they are very funny and they do make me laugh.
