Do you own a Tom Tom? Or any sort of navigation device? Well we do, as of now! In fact, Homer Simpson announced I was a genius when I arrived home safely from Church today! The kids laughed so hard, it is fun to have just to hear their reactions!
I am not sure I am fond of all this technology. I mean it is cool, but what happened to the good ole' days of getting lost and finding adventure? Josh and I used to take all sorts of road trips, navigating with maps and guesses. We took side-trips, and back roads and actually enjoyed ourselves and the people and things we met. Like the time we got lost in Italy and ended up in this quaint hostel just because we couldn't find our actual destination.....remember those days? Now I just program my destination and the GPS gets me there. I guess I do like it, but I think we will turn it off when we really want to get lost :o)
(We really bought it to help my parents find Church, dance, the Y, piano, grocery store, mall, gymnastics etc when they come watch the kids. I hope my Dad appreciates Homer...he is pretty funny:o)
In other news, my back is not doing so well. I sprained it picking up a flailing Asher the other day, just about a week from my fall. It has been aching from the fall but now it hurts! Sleep was horrible last night and I am on the brink of taking pain killers....Josh has done some adjusting but this one is going to take time to just heal...I dislike getting old. Ha!
Asher had about 2 weeks pleasantness and now is back to his Antics:
#7436 :o) Run out into the street at the grocery store so your Mom, with a hurt back, and carrying baby, has to run after you
#7437 Throw every grocery item out of the cart and lay down in the middle of the aisle while your Mom, who has a hurt back, has to pick it all up and put it all back in the cart, the whole time the baby is screaming
#7438 Lay on top of said baby every time your Mom is not looking, just to hear her scream
#7439 Insist on peeing standing up at Church and proceed to spray the toilet and walls, so your Mom, with the hurt back, has to wipe it all up with baby wipes.....(holding baby, just kidding :o)
Hmmm, baby took 3 steps today-- straight to our friend Josh Helgesen when he reached out for her. Stinker. She of course will not walk for us! Perhaps she will be walking by the end of the week. (Secretly, I think she is a genius and they always walk late.....:o)
