This weekend Claudia was in full-out comedian mode. It started Friday night. I hear her coming out of her room and down the hall screaming bloody murder. "Mommy, Nadine, help, HELP, it's CHASING MEEEEEE!!!!!!" I jump up ready to kill something and here she comes running with the string for her balloon in her hand. I tell her, "Baby, just let go of the string". She does, watches the balloon float away a bit with a look of awe on her face, and then says "You SAVED me, MOMMA!" I worry about that child...
Apparently that was the warm up for Sunday. It's Mother's Day, and Nadine is doing her best to make Claudia mad. Nadine is lying on the couch watching TV under a blanket Grandma gave her, and she's throwing a fit and kicking at Claudia because Claudia's sitting on "her" couch. After a few minutes, Claudia walks up the couch standing on the blanket so Nadine can't move, pulls her panties off (this is when I look up), squats, and PEES all over Nadine and the blanket. I probably would have given her a hell of a spanking if I could have breathed. I was laughing so hard I couldn't do anything else. I've been telling Nadine to be nice to Claudia because pretty soon Claudia will get payback and it won't be fun...maybe she understands now?
As for other updates, I lost 1.6 pounds at weigh in yesterday. A good bit of that was likely due to the stomach bug Nadine also gave me for Mother's Day.
A girl named Sharon I've made friends with at school missed her exam yesterday...her husband works in the oilfield and something fell on him. He has a broken back, every one of his ribs is broken, punctured a lung, and in the words of the orthopedic surgeon his shoulders are destroyed. She had left a message at Co-Lin about what was going on (he's at UMMC in Jackson), but she emailed a fellow student as a backup to make sure Bullen knew what was going on. She's since ended up in the hospital there for panic attacks. I saw her last Monday and she was celebrating her acceptance to Alcorn School of Nursing. It's scary how fast things change and how easy it is to get hurt in the oilfield. Her husband was on a drilling rig, and Dean's on a production rig which makes it a little safer, but it still hits home when other bit of "oilfield trash" (as they call themselves) gets hurt.
WAY TO GO CLADIA!!! LOL..I can't believe it. That was so stinking funny when I read that. Hmm...makes me wonder if I should have tried peeing on my siblings when they bothered me...Lol. I can't believe that she actually thought to do that.
ReplyDeleteAs for the balloon chasing her, that was too cute. And as usual, Mommy came to the rescue. Way to go Mommy!
LOL, Claudia sounds like she's very brash! I'd love to know what Nadine's reaction was to that! That's awful about Sharon's husband :( I know that brings pain to your heart. My husband-to-be has a dangerous job too with the firefighting...I don't usually worry, but when something comes on the news about firemen getting killed it makes me sick. I'll keep her in my prayers, and you hang in there!
ReplyDeleteWish I could pee on my colleagues sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the weigh in! That's great :)
If you come across any great recipes, please share. I'm really getting into the whole cooking thing. I'm just so glad I finally decided to give WW a try. Best of luck in your journey. I love your profile - from self-loathing to self-love. That what it's all about!
