it's all gettin' to me

It's been one of those days. Trent came home early from school yesterday coughing. I really was going to keep him home- really. But at 9:00 when I went to the school to make some copies for teacher appreciation week- he seemed totally fine & wanted to go. About 10:30 I got the call from the office- he wasn't coughing he just didn't feel good. He has hay fever so I knew that was it. I was at Costco, so quickly made my purchases (we have tons of company coming and NO FOOD in the house- not a good combination) then went & picked him up at school. I'm so embarrassed I should have just kept him with me for the day. I truly thought he was fine, we went on tons of errands, cleaned the car, he helped me all day. When we got home he had 100.2 fever- oops I did it again. Well I blew it. The stress is kicking in. I've eaten 5-6 of these today. Chocolate covered marshmallow cookies. Since I thought it was going to be kind of a Trent day I took him to walmart & they are only a dollar & change for a package. Big mistake- I love these babies- they make the world a better place, except for what they are now doing to my back side.

Anyhow, trent has be BEGGING me in the most annoying 8 year old way for what seems like eternity to go there. someone I think Brittany (brittany if it was you, you are in so much trouble-jk) told him cell phones are free there. He is obsessed with wanting a cell phone. For weeks cell phone this, cell phone that. Life's not fair because he doesn't have a cell phone???

what in the world!!??

You cannot reason with him- for real.

I took him to Walmart & showed them that yes they have a free cell phone if you buy a cell phone plan. He assured me he does not need a cell phone plan because he has a plan in his head. Oh my- we have spent hours explaining what a cell phone plan is to no benefit.

When my sugar rush wore off I took a nap on the couch. Interrupted incessantly by the cell phone obsessed. He had found our old cell phones, cell phones on the Internet at walmart.com and of course was dying to show me. Mom, mom get up you've gotta see this cell phone- Hey mom get up I found brian's old cell phone. oh my gosh, someone shoot me. We went over the "cell phone plan" concept AGAIN.

I swear this video is nothing compared to what we are living through.

Who has time to do a wedding?

UPDATE

** I found out who told Trent cell phone were free at walmart- it was the same kid who introduced him to WWF & taught him some other choice things-- in his class at school.

I should've known! so sorry brittany- I think i thought of you because of the talk about cell phones you & trent were having the other day.**
