Wingus & Dingus

This is the Mother’s Day card that we so lovingly gave to our Mothers this Mother’s Day. It was Adam’s choice, but I did agree…. Sorry Moms!!!

The Inside:

Love you Moms!!!!  =)

I had an interesting day today. On my way home from work and other things I was talking to my sweet little stinker of a niece Maddy. She was telling me about her day and disclosed to me that she had been swimming. Jealous, I said “You went swimming without me?????”

She said “Yup.” I asked her why she didn’t wait for me and she said: “You couldn’t fit in my pool.”

Of course I had to… “YOU CALLIN ME FAT?”

Her Response: “Yes.”

Awesome. Now I know I need to lose weight. Maddy hasn’t seen me in awhile and if she can hear what a chunky monkey I have become over the phone….YIKES!!!

When I made it into my drive way I was talking to Maddy’s mom – My sis Em. I had an itch in my nose so I scratched it. After my last post….this is um, I guess somewhat suspicious and intersting. Nothing came out on my finger, I swear… Just a scratch. No gold. Then WOOOOOOOSH.

Blood every where. I saw a napkin on the floor of the passenger side. I picked it up and tried to mop it up….Still every where. I had to hang up with Em, get out of the car, and try to mop up the blood all the while still bleeding on the driveway.

When it finally subsided – because I had pulled a “Strange Brew” bullet move with the napkin, I went to get my things out of the car….locked. Not a problem I thought. Where are my keys. Hmmm that looks like them in the cup hold…on no. I had locked my keys, my phone, my purse, my mom’s mother’s day card (sorry mom – it may be late now but it is clear of blood), my computer and my lunch in the car.

I had a spare key to the house luckily, but we got rid of the house phone recently so I couldn’t call adam and let him know. I knew he would be worried so I went to our neighbors and gave him a call. I have awesome neighbors. =) Love them!!!

And Love You! I am needing some love so comment away! or call….either way.

I made my hubby a sandwich… It was a master sandwich too. It was on white bread with mayonnaise (that was a sacrifice for me in and of itself. I hate mayo), mustard, provolone cheese, ham, turkey, tomatoes and lettuce. After I was done I paraded in to Adam…. only to find out that the tomatoes I used were moldy….Bummer.

Not long ago my parents went to Hawaii…. We don’t hear from them much, if ever, while they are there. Mostly just a hey we are Maui bound or a coming home sad face picture text. Do I blame them? Heck no! They go there to get away from all of us…so more power to them.

But when I got the “we’re at the airport waiting to come home text” Adam was closer to my phone than I was and this was their conversation (all on my phone):

Mom: “How are you today”

My phone: “Fantastic. I got a lot done and my husband is the greatest ever. How I love him so =-)”

Mom: “Awesome”

My phone: “=-) Yeah. I have come to see how my life really never started til my prayers were answered and I ment him. He is amazing.”

Mom: “Dad and I are so happy for you both” <insert gagging sounds here>

As that text was coming in I came into the room and heard it ring. So I read it and asked…what did you say? A sly smile moved across his lips and then he cracked up laughing. He wouldn’t tell me so I called my mom.

When I told her it was all Adam we had a great laugh for about ten minutes. After I hung up, I left the room and -oops – my phone. Adam grabbed it and texted back:

“Well I can’t argue with how sweet he is. He is great.”

To which a very wise mom responded “Is this Ann or Adam?”

Way to call him out Momba!!!

Last night I only got two hours of sleep and had a Doc appointment today – which was fine but it made me emotional. So today was a really REALLY long day for me. Adam called after he was done with his apartment inspections (finding termites crawl out of the electrical sockets and some weed on a coffee table) and asked if I wanted him to stop by….YES! And he even brought me subway.

<Sigh> My knight in shining armor – who as I type this is sitting in the Al Bundy position watching and talking to the TV.

He is the cheese to my macaroni. (From Juno, Unfortunately I’m not that clever.)

So…we went to church yesterday – correction my man went to church ON TIME yesterday and found out that the Scout leader had the tickets all along. (I followed him but was late.)

My initial reaction: YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad he found them. =)

My secondary reaction: After remembering my lack of sleep – WHY THE HECK DIDN’T HE CALL??????? I know he was on a camping trip for most of the week last week, but there was time before and after. Grrrr.

My tertiary reaction: Man I’m a jerk. At least we have them and I don’t have to raise $800.00 by myself to pay the Council back. Woot Woot!!

So hooray for the cub scouts and hooray for me! Today I am out of the dingus-hood. I want to be wingus today.

So for Monday night for FHE we joined a few others from our Ward and went to the movie Juno. Before that we stopped off at Walmart to get some cash (cash only movie theater for $2.00) and some treats for the flick. Adam left the line to get us some McD’s from the in-house place – which left me to pay for the stuff and get cash back.

Well….I forgot my wallet and so I had to borrow Adam’s credit card to pay for the stuff. As he was walking away, I said “Wanda (our cashier) get a good look at him.” Adam was slightly embarrassed. But oh well.

After I paid for the treats and went over to McD’s I found that I forgot to get cash back….JUNK! So I had to go back in line and get some gum so Adam and I could have FHE. OOPS! Oh well. If I were perfect, I’d have no friends cause they would all be jealous. HA! Way Just kidding.

Ok, so this week…I am Dingus. Want to know why? If not, I will tell you anyway.

I am the assistant Den Leader for the Cub Scouts in my area. A few weeks ago the Den Leader asked me if I would manage the scout show tickets for our den. I said I would.

This week the Den Leader asked if I could do the presentation and give the tickets for the kids. Of course! I’m ready. I go to find the tickets and I cannot find them.

What I remember:

I remember grabbing the bag from the Den Leader and going to the gym to watch some kids play basketball and eat my Subway Sandwich – YUMMY! Then I left and dropped some newspapers in a friends car to be recycled and then got in my car. The bag was with me in the gym. Where it was the rest of the time? Who knows.

Here is what My Phenomenal Hubby Remembers: (and what I want to be true)

Me grabbing the bag and speaking with the Den Leader to leave them in the Cub Closet. Were they there when we checked. Nope. Bummer.

I’ve torn apart my house…no where to be found. Torn through both our cars? Not there. Junk! Where are you Scout Show Tickets? WOO WOO!

Value of the Cub Scout Tickets? $800.00. Value of me being a Dingus and having people laugh at me? Hopefully $800.00. If you want to donate to the cause…let me know. HA!

True value of the embarrassment? Priceless.

I’ll let you decide for yourself. I already know. You will be tested later…
