I've turned into a homebody. It's just better for my sanity if we stay home. When we need to go out for more than an hour, I literally almost always have a panic attack trying to get ready and I'm ALWAYS late! Do you think it's time I embrace the crazy and start to medicate? I hate packing up diapers and wipes and worrying about feeding Eva and her nap time and all that baby stuff. And, I swear she poops right when I'm about to put her in the car. Plus, I'm still breastfeeding and I'm just not that comfy with pulling my fun bags out for the world to see.
Now, if you come to my church it's a rare occasion if you DON'T see boobies! Every Sunday I'm just waiting for National Geographic to show up. Derrick's never wanted to go to church more! Some mom's are pretty good about it, but others just let them flop all over the place! It's insane to me. Like, seriously, go in the Mother's Room! That's what it is there for. Oh yeah, and while I'm on the "Mother's Room" don't throw your kids poopy diapers in there. Honestly people have some respect!
I'm sure people will read this and be like "It's beautiful and natural. Wah Wah Wah." I totally agree, and trust me, if there is anyone that's okay with nakedness, it's me. I massage naked people ALL. THE. TIME. I had to get naked at massage school every day for 7 months, but when I was growing up I was taught that boobs are a private part and I'm pretty sure my parents would have been disappointed if I had gone around flashing them in public, especially at church. So, why is it different if there is a baby attached?
I'm obviously rambling like a crazy person. I'll tell you a secret (I'm on a pain pill) shhhh! I'm not abusing though. I was in real pain! Not anymore! Apparently I'm either angry or really stupid when I take pain meds. I guess today is an angry day.
Let me tell you a little tale about the last time I had an angry day.
It was Sunday night. The next day was Labor day. Around 10 PM I noticed some unusual lights coming from outside. There were some people running around outside with flashlights. I decided to stay up for a while and write my brother, Elder Anderson, a rap. (Pretty sure that's where the stupid comes in, but it did turn out pretty awesome! I'll post it later.)
Around 11:30 I decided to retire to my bedroom. The window was open and my dear husband was sleeping soundly. As I tried to drift off into sweet slumber I hear loud laughter and screaming from out my window. I try to shake it off and re-enter dream mode. This goes on for another half an hour. I decide to get up and shut the window, in hopes that the annoying people outside will hear it and take a hint.
The laughter and shrieking of stupid college kids continues to disturb my peace. It is now 12:30. This has gone on long enough! I get up, put on some of Derrick's basketball shorts and a T-shirt, and stomp downstairs. I unlock the door, step outside and witness around 7 grown adults standing in a circle with flashlight pointed at the ground. They have fallen silent at the sight of me. (I probably looked like a midget in Derrick's shorts. They always make me go quiet and stare too.) And then, the crazy person inside of me unleashed!
I said, "HEY! I'VE GOT A BABY IN THERE AND A HUSBAND WHO HAS TO GET UP IN 4 HOURS! COULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET!!!!" And some stupid kid says, "sorry." And I said, in the most exasperated/annoyed tone I could muster, "THANK YOU!". And shut my door. And they shut-up. And I officially became the psycho who lives in number 163.
(I don't really live in 163, I just don't dare put my real number on here. So, don't go looking for me there.)
This post was going to be about Halloween. I don't know what happened.

Probably wise not to use your real house number. Toooooooo freaking funny. What can you do, sometimes your mama bear comes out before you even know what's happening. I have such a vivid picture in my brain. Tooooo funny!
I remember when bryn was about 4 months old and I had a bunch of kids knock on my door and run. Well, I threw open my door and chased them down the bike trail shoeless and braless. I was yelling, "you little shits get back here." I caught one of the boys and just pointed my finger and talked crazy to him. So I was known as the crazy lady with the baby in the little white house. I never had midnight knockers again.
Ha ha ha were so old, I shake my fist at the kids driving fast in my neighborhood to slow down cause I'm afraid there gonna hit someone... What has happened to us!
Ummmmm....I want a pain pill!!!!! Share the love. Can you see Amber 'shaking her fist' at someone?? You two should hang out. LOL
I had a dream about you and Keri . . .you two should NOT hang out! I also hope you two don't own paintball guns.
Ha ha the first time I did It i was shocked at myself, it just happened, I was afraid I was turning into my mother!!
