Random thoughts...

I had to title this random thoughts because none of what I am about to write about goes together. Never the less it's what is on my mind tonight!

Tonight we were working on Taylor's homework. His health teacher has asked that each student come up with a question and write as a letter to Dr. Smartstuff (this is the Dr. Laura of the kids health newsletter). I told Taylor what he needed to do and asked if I had any ideas to give him an example. When he asked I was making dinner and said, I don't know Taylor it can be anything like, Why do we have boogers? First of all I have no idea why I said that but I was even more surprised when Taylor immediately responded, "Oh Mom, I know that already!" He then gave me a quick lesson on how boogers form...thanks son!

Has anyone noticed that sometimes the letters on the word verification that you have to type spell out words. Is it just me or does anyone else get weird words sometimes?

The other day Emily and I were driving in the car and she said, "Mom, when are we going to get a new car, we've had this one all day!" I had a good laugh!

And last but not least I have to share my most embarassing experience I have had in a long time! As many of you know twice a year I go on a scrapbook weekend aka my mental health weekend. This is not a restful weekend but a very FUN weekend! On Sunday Joe was speaking in church and so I wanted to go to Sacrament meeting. The last time I looked at the clock before falling asleep was 3:30 am Sunday Morning. At 6:00am the alarm went off to get up for church. If you haven't done the math that is 2 1/2 hours of sleep. I thought I was doing okay until I got up to say the closing prayer (a cruel joke to keep me awake :-) ) As I was praying I was thinking to myself, I feel a little shakey and I think I am slurring my words. I made it back to my seat and as church ended I asked Joe if I had been slurring my words. He said that he didn't notice. I was relieved. The chapel started to clear out and I noticed that the Bishop and the High councilman were still on the stand. I wanted to tell the Bishop something and so I walked towards them. They noticed I was coming and so I started talking as I was walking. All of a sudden...I didn't trip I just lost my balance and yes it is true I fell flat on my face sprawled out on the ground. I felt like I went down in slow motion and heard the Bishop yell, "Sis. Gent are you okay." I pulled myself up to my hands and knees and then somehow got myself up on my feet. I looked at those two men and said, "Wow, I think I am really tired!" And then I added, "I'm sorry, that wasn't very graceful! Feeling really embarassed and not knowing what else to say without saying anything else I turned and walked away! Even now as I write I am embarassed! Lesson learned...2 1/2 hours + no food + heels = a bad combination UGH!

What more can I say!
