the 1000 dollar rock.

introducing the rock priced at just over 1000 dollars....


i'm pretty certain we could have bought the church a new piece of playground equipment with that kinda money.  oh well.  glad it's out and that he can now walk straight :)

it took like 1 minute to get this booger out.  the anesthesiologist asked him what was in there and he told her a rock.  she asked if someone else put it in and he looked at her like she was crazy and said, "no.  i did."  he went on to tell her that he was only trying to make himself an earring.  but that it fell in.  and he couldn't get it out.  but he had tried.

she and i both agreed that he should just stick to making rock earrings for me.  NOT for himself.  i mean, let me put on the record that he can get as many earrings as he wants if he's ever in a band.  or if he cures cancer.  but until then, no earrings.

when i walked back to recovery to get him, a nurse was holding him.  his name was mark.  and he was so sweet sitting there in that rocker holding pratt.  he handed him to me and as pratt woke mark asked if he knew where he was.

pratt's response was, "i fink we're in little rock".  he was right.  and then when mark if he could see him, pratt's response was, "yes.  i see free (three) of you.  one there.  and one there and one there."  he was just a wee bit groggy.

he ate a blue popsicle and told mark all about how cookie has popsicles like that at her condo and that he always ate them and she would always put a towel around them for him and that she has a dog named skeet who always barks when the condo door opens and that pop has a yellow boat and that he's gonna go fishing with his daddy and pop pop from the boat and....

well, you get the picture.  poor mark.  he stood there for the entire story.  nodding along.  acting like he was interested.



i carried him out.  we got a few donuts.  and were home by 830.

mom said i need to hand the rock by the bills we receive.  yes.  i agree.  and pratt needs a job to pay us back.  if you know of anything, let me know....

kidding.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
