Times like these...: February 2008

wow, yesterday was a stressful day. penny is sick, luke is sick and i feel like im getting sick. Deja-vu! i woke up in the morning with luke around 4am. the little guys molers are coming in and hes in alot of pain. i feel so bad for him, they broke through later in the day so he seems like he is doing better. then as i was taking penny to school i was stopped at a red light and an old asian woman hit me from behind! arghh. I think im a manget for people hitting me, i swear! ive been hit 4 times in the past 1.5 years. luckily there was no damage. so off to the grocery store i went. shopping for food is so fun, luke loves riding in the cart, and usually in the morning there arent alot of people in the store, so, in a way, its quite peaceful. that is, except for today. luke is such a good boy whaen we go shopping but for some reason he was acting crazy. he kept wanting to get out of the cart, so id get him out of the cart, and let him walk. hed walk for 30 sceonds and then want to get in the cart again. so i'd put him back in the cart, and 30 seconds would pass and hed want to walk again. so finaly i just picked him up put him on the store floor and walked away so he would follow me. it was working until he decided to pull some jars of spaghetti sauce off of a display the grocery had set up. DISASTER! really, how much damage can a 1.5 yr old cause? it was about a 3foot tall display, luke pulled out the "sweet spot" one which caused a chain reaction for the rest to fall. broken glass and spaghetti sauce everywhere! i thought luke was cut because he was stained with the sauce. (no cuts, phew!) It gets worse- the display was in the corner, sort of a blind spot for people turning the corner of the isle. as luck would have it an older lady was walking with her cart and was oblivious to the bomb that had just gone off. well she slipped, and fell, and begun screaming in pain. employees rushed to her side to help her and see what was wrong. when she fell she put her hands on the floor to break her fall, but the only thing broken was her wrist. the most disgusting thing ive ever seen, her bone came out of her skin, and on her other hand a piece of glass hand sliced up her palm pretty good. at this point im feeling soooo bad, and of course luke is right by my side covered in spaghetti sauce from the knees down. i couldnt have looked more guilty. it was only a matter of minutes before the ambulance showed up, followed by the old ladys degenerate son. the son smelled of alcohol and cigeretts, he only came in the store because he saw the ambulance and put 2 and 2 together. (apparently he drives his mom places). he is shouting and cursing and then looks at me and says "is this the little shit that did this"? pointing to luke. ahh i was so pissed i put luke in the cart and started yelling at him saying not very nice words, the store employees had to interfere and calm everyone down, i was so mad! so he says "yea whatever, we'll see you in court". so off i again i went using very un-christlike words. luke meanwhile happy as a clam. lucky for me it was raining so i knew timmy was home, so i called him up and told him what happened and asked him to come down and bring some clothes for luke and take him away. about 2-3 minutes later the police arrived because of all the drama happening in the store, also to calm me and the drunk son down. they were nice and everything was finally calming down. timmy got there a few minutes later to take luke. i give luke to timmy and the drunk son says, "it shoulda been your boy whose all cut up and not some innocent by-stander", without any hesitation timmy handed luke back to me and punched the guy square in the nose. the guy falls to the ground holding his nose, blood pouring out, timmy jumps on top of him and just goes crazy, i was so scared. the police officer and 2 store employees had to restrain timmy, and i swear, timmy is absoulutly mental at this point. the cop puts him on the ground with his arm behind his back, timmys yelling, but finally calm down, puts handcuff on him and takes him out. the paramedics are attending to the man now with the broken nose, and im just freaking out. cant believe what just happened. so here it is sat morning and at 9.am i get to go get my timmy out of the orange county jail. this is going to be a fun weekend
