Sunday night about 10:30 I came into the kitchen to get a drink of water. While I was filling my glass at the fridge I noticed something very sticky slowly dripping from the bottom of the upper kitchen cabinets. Knowing what it was but not really wanting to find out I hesitantly opened the cupboard doors to find honey spread all over the top shelf, dripping onto the middle shelf, and then onto the bottom shelf. Sweet.
Today, I am a human pincushion. I went to the doctor’s to take my 28 week glucose test (YUCK!). The nurse poked me twice trying to draw blood. She failed twice. So they sent me to the hospital to get my blood work done there. The hospital tried to get me to drink the nasty glucose drink again but thankfully I was able to point out on the medical test form (that they never really seem to look at) where the doctor had written in big capital letters “PATIENT ALREADY DRANK GLUCOSE JUST NEEDS BLOOD DRAWN.” At least they were kind enough to only poke me once.
Special Dark wants to know why I swallowed a baby.
I must be carrying the pregnancy weight evenly all over. Several of my daughters’ friends have asked why their mother is getting fat. Most have been teenage boys.
And for those who want to see more of my daughters’ trip to Barcelona you can visit the blog my parents set up P.S. Have a Happy Day. Don’t you love that title? It’s what my mom always signs her letters to the grandkids with.

Reasons you swallowed a baby:
1. it misbehaved
2. it’s the quietest place for whining children
3. you were hongry
4. you got tired of carrying it
5. you thought it’s thighs were butter
For future reference.
Honey?! Yuck! Honey is super hard to clean up, don’t envy your job at all. (unless you found the culpret and made them do it!)
My Mom is a Lab Tech. She is kind enough to draw my blood each time (and with a black needle, which is the smallest so hurts the least) otherwise I get the two or three pokes as well. When my mom can’t do it, I find the hospital does it best because they poke so many people all day long. 🙂
I LOL at your poor son! What a funny thing to say, gotta remember that and bring it up to his future wife! 🙂
Going over to the blog with pictures…I love pictures! My great aunt lives in spain and when she sends me photos I get so excited!
I recently had a honey-dripping-through-the-spices experience, too! So sticky! Thanks for your post today!
I guess even angels have bad days. Sorry ;-(
Let’s say this was a delightful post. I am smiling bigtime. It was a sweet read. I can just invision the honey moment.
I had a recent blood draw and the bruise is hugs.
Blessings to you!
Well….. why did you swallow the baby???
Thank you for your post, it was a great way to end my day:)
I had to retake that yucky glucose test twice with our last. Drinking that stuff that many times made me never want to go near Orange Fanta again (and I didn’t drink it to start with!). Is it horrible that I laughed out loud about the chicken egg? Would you like to know what I’ve found in our 18 month old’s mouth – just today? The list is long, my friend, and much involved outside yard items. Yummy!
Swallowed a baby, huh? Good one.
My sympathies for your glucose test pokes! I had mine a few weeks ago, and it took them three tries. Then I passed out. Then the nurse freaked out and thought I had a seizure, so they sent me to the ER and later to a neurologist. Guess what? Sometimes people just pass out when they are poked multiple times. 🙂
I hope the second test goes better!
