Road Rage

I still can't believe I did this...

Last week, while on the way to work one day, I needed to make a U-turn. There was already someone in the intersection, so I sat there and waited for the person to be able to go. Then there was another lady that pulled into the intersection also (3 cars in the turn lane now) from Kroger.

The Kroger lady got ticked off because the 1st lady wouldn't move yet (which there was no way she could - wall to wall traffic). Kroger lady was yelling, flailing her arms about and honking in her car.

Before I could think against it, I honked my horn at Kroger lady because I thought she needed a wake up call at how ridiculous she was acting in a situation where nothing could be done at that point. Immediately, Kroger lady turns toward me and starts her yelling, flailing arms, etc.

It struck me as really, really funny that the lady was going nuts and that I had just honked at her, so while she is looking at me and yelling like a crazy person, I start cracking up laughing about the whole situation.

I still cannot believe I did this, but even as I sit here typing about it, it is cracking me up. Maybe it was really mean of me to do this. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I could have been shot. But it sure did make me laugh.

10 Months Old - Crawling and Sitting Up

Caleb is 10 months old today. I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by. In just a few short months, we will have a birthday party. Though I am very excited for all of the things Caleb is learning and will learn how to do, there is also a part of me that is sad that we are leaving the baby days. He is very quickly becoming a "big boy."

Chris had a meeting last night, so Caleb and I got to have some mommy/Caleb time. Caleb actually crawled right a few times in the course of playing. I was so excited, so I kept clapping and saying "Yay!" Caleb thought it was hilarious that I was going so nuts over him and looked like he felt good about himself for what he had done. He also pushed himself up from his stomach into a sitting position for the first time too. So of course I had to go crazy over that too!

I also discovered that the bottom stair is the pefect height for him to sit and then stand up and start walking to me. I had been using phone books over the past week, but the stair is perfect for this little endeavor. Now I don't have to have phone books in my living room floor all of the time. :)

Maggiano's

Marcie and I went to a lunch meeting today at Maggiano's Little Italy. If you have never been there, I highly recommend it.

I always heard my mom say that she ate so much that she hurt. I never understood this statement and thought she was making it up...until today. I could not believe how much food they gave us (and of course I had to try everything!). They had a couple of people that spoke after we ate lunch, and I seriously thought I was going to have to get up and walk around because I hurt so bad.

I've decided that next time, I need to exercise some control. :)

Caleb and Daddy

Caleb has started a new thing where if Chris is running on the treadmill in the other room, he HAS to be there next to him. I tried to distract him with toys, etc. last night, but nothing worked. He simply wanted to be in the room with his Daddy. If I would have let him, he would have walked up on the treadmill to be where Daddy was. But he was perfectly happy just sitting there chewing on something once I let him walk in there. Happy to be near his Daddy.

Just think if we HAD to be or wanted so much to be near our Heavenly Father like that. That's the way it should be.

Sun!

The sun is out today...finally! It has been so cloudy and dreary looking for so long now. It is so nice to see the sun out again! Ah, sun!

Coupons

Do you clip, save and use coupons? If so, do you believe it makes a difference?

I used to clip and use coupons quite a bit but haven't done so in the past few years. I have thought about starting up again. What do you think?

Easter Bunny Picture

Caleb had his picture taken with the Easter Bunny at school today. Here it is! He looks kind of scared. :)

Uh-Oh

New and exciting Caleb news! Caleb started saying "Uh-oh!" yesterday. He says it all of the time now. He doesn't have a clue of what it means, but he thinks it is fun. It's so neat because I can now start saying Uh-oh, Dada, etc. and he will repeat it back to me. He is getting more fun all of the time!
