Turkey Day Thrown Away

 My husband and I were so excited because we were expecting our first baby. We were starving students at Brigham Young University. I was craving a Thanksgiving feast so I skipped class, walked to the grocery store, came home and cooked mashed potatoes and turkey. I hadn't had two bites when I threw it all up. Then threw the rest of the food away because the smell made me so sick. Gotta love pregnancy. Cravings are legit and not fun.

Zupas was Closed

 I am about 10 weeks along with my first pregnancy. This comes with the joys and excitement of having her first baby and also comes with the hormones and cravings. On Friday night at about 1030 I finally decided that soup from the zoo buzz sounded good. Of course it's closed so, we go to two different grocery stores looking for the right soup but Couldn't find anything I wanted. I finally resorted to Taco Bell. When we pulled up to the restaurant I started bawling uncontrollably. "I just wanted zuppa's and it was closed! I wailed literally. Wailing like a little kid. It was ridiculous. "And I want to eat good food but none of it sounds good and I just wanted to play and..."I just wanted zuppa's and it was closed I will literally. Wailing like a little kid. It was ridiculous? And I want to eat good food but none of it sounds good and I just wanted Zupas and..." I just kept balling so Jimmy, my husband, excused himself to go into the store and get me a beefy five layer burrito. We were headed to a birthday party with a few friends. When we got there I walked in and went straight to the bathroom to hide my puffy tear stained cheeks. I overheard, "is she OK?" All Jimmy said was "Zupas was closed."

DMV: Wet'n'Wild

You know when those annoying tasks pile up,  like license registration, car tune ups, insurance calls, doctors appointment etc. etc.?  Well we were there and I thought I could help my husband lessen the load even though I had three small children and one on the way. So I told him I would take care of getting a new license plate for our car.  So I took 3 small kids to the DMV.  STOP! The previous sentence should never be repeated or done by anybody on the face of the earth.  I was in a hurry because I had to pick up my kindergartner by noon.  The four of us were standing in line for quite a while with everything you would think: tears, fits, crying eat. My two-year-old said she had to go to the bathroom.  The DMV was so crowded so for us to get to the restroom with a large stroller was like playing a level 10 of Pac-Man. By the time we got to the bathroom I saw the line for the toilets was too long so I told her to try and hold it and got back in line.  I saw a boy I used to date in high school, for the first time since then. As I was talking to him he informed me my daughter had her pants down and was peeing everywhere.  At this point I gave up, called my husband and told him "it's the thought that counts", I tried to help, but I failed and promised to never take the children to the DMV ever again.
