criminal at heart

so today we ventured to target to get some necessities...toilet paper, razors, toothpaste... you know the essentials. but of course, it is target and who can leave with only what they need. i picked up a cool, little hat for a mere $9.99 - a deal and a half. i proceeded to wear it all around the store during our shopping extravaganza. what i failed to realize was that the hat was still on my head after having checked out...meaning it had never made it to the conveyor belt...meaning that it had never been paid for. luckily, we were only near the elevators and had not actually left the store yet..... but gretchen and i had a good little chuckle over what was almost a shoplifting incident. how would that look for a pastor's wife to be picked up for stealing with her newborn & toddler in tow?! phew!

LOL. I remember back in high school when our youth pastor was picked up by the cops. We were all going to a bball game, and he was pulled over for speeding. However, he didn't know that his license had been suspended for something seemingly minor. A little (unhappy) disagreement, bada-bing bada-boom, handcuffs, baffled high school church kids. Good times.

how about a circular tray made of aluminum, meant to convey french fries to hungry teenagers that at some point ended up in your possession? if only i could remember the name of the establishment in question.

target has the best cheap-o wash cloths (12 for 3.99). i us them to clean the house (ha! clean! yeah right! you can bleach them in the wash and re-use them). anyway, i ran in to get some other things, decided i didn't need them and left...

...with a bundle of 12 wash clothes under my arm! i didn't even realize they were there till i got to the car. i opened my door and they fell at my feet!

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
