husband, tree, helicopters and a damn parrot

I have been on the go for weeks. Non-stop, always moving. I planned and cooked the perfect Thanksgiving meal for 11 people. I shampooed the carpets and cleaned the house within an inch of its life. And of course there is Black Friday. My favorite day of the year.

I asked Kevin to drop me off at Target so I could shop w/o Scott. I bought a Fur Real Friends talking McCaw, a Twin Thunder airhog helicopter for Kevin, a few movies, clothes and a smaller helicopter for Scott. I'm standing in the checkout when I hear my son yell, "HI MOMMY!" I turn around to see the two of them standing there. Kevin asks, "Why are you mad at me?" Well gee whiz, I wonder!

I checkout, get in the car. Damn parrot won't shut up. The whole way home it said, "Hello!" Scott is begging to hold it. Kevin can't shut up about his new helicopter. Why bother wrapping anything! So I just tell them both to go play.

I swear to you, not an hour after getting home Scott comes into the living room and tells me, "Daddy stuck tree". HUH? Scott just keeps repeating it. I finish doing what I was doing and follow my son out back. There I find my husband stuck in the tree. Ok, I am trying not to laugh. A 200 pound man in an Oak tree trying to get the toy helicopter he got stuck, well that is just some seriously funny stuff. I get the ladder.

By 11pm both helicopters were broken. I hide the damn parrot's remote from both of them because they wouldn't stop making it pass gas. 45 phrases and they only play a farting sound. After hearing it 1000 times I couldn't take it anymore. I waited till Kevin gave Scott a bath and hide it.

Oh yeah, it's my birthday. I can't believe I am 36. I don't feel 36. Lord please let Kevin redeem himself today!

I still can't believe I had to rescue my husband from a tree.

I hit Black Friday too....we ended up with more crap for ourselves I think than for the kids (out of Walmart anyway). I was not expecting to pick up a GPS system or a Kodak camera let's put it that way. The sales this year really weren't that great unless you wanted electronics. Most of the toys were Disney princess or Hannah Montana related and my kids are not into either of those. I would have strangled that parrot OMG I have seen those at the store before and I would never be able to have one in my house! I already have a husband who passes plenty of gas I don't need a toy bird to add to it. I always thought they were kinda scary looking too lol...

My oldest son just turned 14 yesterday. Trust me if you had a 14 year old THEN you'd feel old lol :)

Happy Birthday to someone who can always see the light side of life!   Enjoyed your account of the day, and I admire your ability to maintain that perspective. 

And, yes, RQ's older than you--but I have you both beat in the area of approaching geezerdom.

Enjoy your day!

 OMG........... my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!!  And, hiding Christmas presents... that is the story of my life!!  I'm not sure HOW or WHY my 10 year old STILL seems to believe in Santa, b/c I can not remember hiding ONE present that he didn't not FIND!!!  So, gear up my friend... it will be a long road of spoiled surprises by the sounds of your husband and son!  Boys...  (thank GOD I finally got my little girl!!)

Regarding the farting parrot... try some Gas-X! 

 

Happy Birthday, Old Woman!!  And don't forget... I'm still older than YOU!! 

Hugs,

RQ
