Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

In Honor of Heidi

Ok, one of my close friends is pregnant and just had a real horrible story about her weekend to Newport Beach. Short story - Puke on Marble in fancy hotel lobby! I felt so bad for her that I had to start a little blog thing. Everyone post a comment about your worst prego experience!
For me it was when I was very pregnant. I can't remember what child it was with - take your pick. We were visiting my parents and we were all up late playing games, Skipbo (the Devil's game). I hate that game. If you haven't played, you've gotta play it. Everyone needs to feel eternal frustration. It is the game that never ends, and it goes on and on my friends. Some people started playing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue playing it forever just because, it is the game that never ends. And it goes on and on my friends..........
ANYWAY - Bret took his turn just before me. and before he discards his discard (redundant) he tells me, " Sweetie, I know that this is the card you need to go out for this hand. If I play it you have to promise that you'll wait one more round before you go out. Ok?"
Well, sure - I can do that no skin off my back.
So I start to get all excited. I'm the one that never wins at games. I come from a trashtalking, loser harrasing family and I NEVER win. I'm some sort of anomoly in my family. So needless to say, so I'm gonna say it - I got REAL excited!!! I forgot every word that had just come out of my Hubby's mouth and I went out.
Bret looked at me and opened his mouth (will they EVER learn to keep that thing shut when around a pregnant woman?), "I TOLD you not to go out!!! Why did you go out??!!"
By the way, did I mention that I was VERY emotional?!
My response - gush of tears.
Everyone just stopped what they were doing and stared at me. All eyes on Fatty with the leak! I felt SO stupid and SOOOO pregnant!
So that's my story. I know, I know - it's no Fancy Pancy Barf (Heidi that's what I'm calling your experience), but it's all I got.

Ok, everyone! Now its your turn. Tell me YOUR worst prego stories! Have your friends come to my blog and post theirs too.

Hey, side note. How many of you are still singing the On and On song that I quoted?! :)

LOL, totally singing that song!

And such a natural preggo reaction...they'll never get it, will they?

I'll have to think about this and post mine.

Hey Steph, I'm holding a scrapping get together at my house next Friday at 6. You interested? I invited Heidi too, but I haven't heard back from her.

Unfortunately, i don't have any good ones. Just big MISERABLE and grumpy. Hopefully the next one will be much better. But I loved Heidi's too that was classic. I could totally see me doing what you did during your game though. FUNNY. Except I would have been crying then laughing then doing both.

Amie said...

I shared on my blog. =)

Heidi said...

Well, thank you for the tribute. I do have more, I'm sure, I could muster up an emotional one - like when I cried at the customer service booth at Albertsons because they didn't have any milk w/ an expiration date that was a week out, I mean - I need me some fresh milk, ya know? LOL!

Oh Steph, I was there and I remember the moment. I was laughing so hard reading this. I can't believe you come from a trashtalking, loser harassing family (I'm laughing right now typing it). I would love to live inside your head, you crack me up.
Love, jen
