Sometimes all we can do is laugh right? While most of this stuff is funny now, at the time, it wasn't quite so funny. All I can tell you is dinner time at our house is never boring!! I've enjoyed reading about all of our son's adventures and what we poor mom's have suffered at their expense, but I wouldn't change a thing. Well except maybe the time the oldest son, who was 15 at the time decided to sneak out and and meet his friends late one night when I was 8 months pregnant with son #4. I couldn't sleep in my bed, and went to sleep in the recliner. Not long after going back to sleep I hear the window in the living room open. I can't see anything but a backlit shadow since the blinds were down. You've never seen a pregnant woman come out of a reclined position soooo fast. I started screaming "Get out, Get out!" I grabbed the first thing I could and started swinging it. AS I got closer to the window I realized I might want to put down my pillow and pick up something a little more lethal. AS i was going for the phone, still swinging mind you, I hear "Mom, Mom, let me in, it's me!!!" All of this happened in less than 15 seconds, but it was enough to start me contracting. That's the only reason that child wasn't not maimed that night. I couldn't move for contractions. SO as I'm standing there hoping not to go into to labor, here comes Daddy, scratching his bum asking what the heck all of the noise was about. What I want to know is not only where was Daddy a minute ago, but where the heck was that big old dog of ours? Anyway, I didn't go into labor. We sent him to bed to be dealt with in the morning. Made him wait until after I finished grocery shopping, let him suffer a little. I spent the rest of the night between laughter and tears. Laughter at what a sight I must have been coming out of that recliner big belly and all and tears at the thought of what I could have done to him before I knew it was him. I could have killed him, literally I was so frightened. All I have to say is, He's never done it again. Shelley
