Drunk People are Funny

Sammie and I had an awesome time in New Hampshire. Absolutely gorgeous state and it was also very relaxing. We didn't take Lucy with us and that was probably one of the reasons why it was so relaxing. It was incredibly weird to be away for so long, but oddly enough, it is weirder being back. I had completely forgotten what it was like to sleep. I forgot what it was like to sleep in! I also forgot what it was like to have a day to myself! Well, the reason its so weird being back is because I oddly feel like a new mom again. She has changed so much in four days and has learned so much. I find myself asking, "This is mine?" Luckily, its like getting back on a bike and going. She was a little confused for a bit but after the second day, she has been back to laughing, smiling Lucy.

I wish I had actually gotten pictures while we were there. The first day I was there I woke up to an amazing view of a beautiful lake and rolling hills in the background. Nothing but nature surrounded Sammie's grandparent's house. It was GORGEOUS. I actually woke up as the sun was coming up and watched it rise over the lake. So pretty! Then the next day, I actually woke up to the view of the river in Manchester. Again, an amazing view. Everything was so fun, too. Being with Sammie's highschool friend Paul and his wife, Bethenny was SO fun! Not to mention there was A LOT of drinking...not by me of course. I did take a few sips here and there and had a beer....or two at the 10 Year Highschool reunion. All I have to say is that I have never tasted beer so good. They had a beer there that was a Pumpkin Beer (on draft) and when they served it to you, it had a shot of Vanilla Liqueur and a rim of brown sugar, and cinnamon....HEAVENLY. Don't worry I only had a sip, but if I wasn't pregnant, I could have drank those all night. Bethenny also introduced me to "Cider Beer". It basically tastes like an apple cider beer. Light and SO delicious. I probably could have changed between those two through the night if I could. I mean seriously New Hampshire=Gourmet Beer....next time I go I will NOT be pregnant and I will have one of those pumpkin beers aaaallll to myself!

Of course, everyone else was drunk except for the other pregnant girl (at the reunion). I was ok until the end of the night when my butt was numb from sitting on a bar stool all night and everyone commenting on my belly AND people telling me that they can't believe Sammie procreated...twice. So grateful Bethenny was at the Highschool Reunion. I was grateful for someone to talk to so that I didn't have to be Sammie's lost puppy.

One thing I hated about meeting new people is that I am from the south. That excuse aside, I tend to put my foot in my mouth a lot. Which, I feel I did a lot while I was there. I'm sure no one else cared and I am sure most either don't remember or don't think about it as hard as I do. O well, I know I probably won't see most of those people later in life and by that time, I am sure they will have forgotten....hopefully.

The following video is of Sammie very drunk and his gassy friend, Paul. There is a REASON that I am NOT putting this video on Facebook and that is due to the language. So there is your warning before you watch. And this is the ONLY one I could post because the others are just....well how is anyone drunk? By this time they were completely hammered and when I showed this to Sammie, he said he didn't even remember it.

The Hunt for the smell...

Today, has been a frustrating day. Part of the reason probably being I didn't get a nap in. Naps have become something I need to kinda survive. Otherwise, I can be very grumpy. For example, today I was in Target and had been in line for about 20 minutes. There was a very long line behind me and I saw the last lady who seemed pretty irritated. I was SECOND in line and the friggin register froze. Well they moved the sweet, patient cashier to another register and what does that last little twit of a woman do in line????? She races torwards the new opened register and gets in front of me. How rude. I was with a friend and so I had someone to talk too. So, I turned around to my friend and said, "Must be nice. It wasn't like I was in line for 15-20 minutes!" Now, I am six months pregnant, just had a large lunch, and a fussy baby. I was READY to get out of there and it was getting hard to stand! I was so mad and am still irritated as I write this. Obviously, because I felt it worthy enough to write about. When Sammie called (after I had been waiting for another 5-10 minutes, and had called him about an hour earlier to see if he needed anything) I said, "Sorry babe, you are to late. So if you need anything to bad. I have been in line for 30 minutes now and I need to get out of here." All the lady did was look at me. Yes, I guess I am a witch. When someone does something like, especially when I am pregnant, I have NO problem making them feel uncomfortable. Now, I don't think I am owed the world when pregnant...but after waiting SO flippin' long in line, I was furious.

Now, another frustrating thing that I have been dealing with ALL week: As most people know, preggo's have a heightened (sp?) sense of smell. I have been smelling everything!!! We get home from our wonderful trip to Memphis, and there is blood everywhere. The blood trail was from the Kitchen, to the Living Room, and had some how made it to Lainey's room. We were dumb-founded. Soon, the smell of death had invaded our house. I was looking everywhere. At first, I had found a dead mouse underneath our stove. That was one of the smells. Then we took out the trash and cleaned the fridge, that took care of some other smells...still there was this lingering death smell! We knew that it had to be the mouse that the cats had some how mangled and let escape. This weekend was the weekend that we were cleaning our Lainey's room. We had alot of stuff in there, including Lucy's jumper. Well at first, we smell it in Lainey's room and then after we had moved all of the stuff out to organize and put in totes, it invaded our Living Room. Mind you as we do this, we have turned over the sofa (twice), moved furniture away from walls, cleaned, wiped down, and just really picked both rooms apart. Finally, tonight (Sunday) we were to the point that it had to be underneath the house or in the attic because it was only in one area of the house by now. Well, I am sitting on the sofa and look at Lucy's jumper. I didn't think that there were any holes in the bottom of the jumper, but I distinctly remembered Lucy's jumper being on its side when we got home from Memphis. That's not how we put it when we left... I start playing with the jumper and I lift it up to see if there are holes or any way to get under the jumping part (which has NO contact with Lucy at all!) Well sure enough, I lifted that damn thing and almost gagged. I was to excited though because I had finally found it! I turned around and looked at Sammie and said, "BABE!" He looked excited,too. I mean we have been living with this for days! And now I feel even more sorry for Lucy, who I had put in her bouncer twice since we had been home!!!! I really do feel terrible. Sammie took the thing outside, took it apart and there was the little, mangled mouse that barely had a rear-end. I went and got some Lysol, doused the inside of the parts and then got Clorox wipes and wiped it down. Yes, I used TWO disinfectants!! I was just incredibly grateful Lucy never came into REAL contact with it and that there was a piece of plastic in between her and that thing. Plus, it was amazing how FRESH the house smelt immediately!! I am also grateful for the fact that the plastic won't hold the smell. Anyways, I am going to bed, my back hurts. :)
