Pansyiana: May 2005 Archives

I often have this vision: God has precious, brand new baby souls that are about to be sent to earth on an assembly line. He is touching their sweet little heads and gifting them with the grace of common sense. He reaches Fastolph and St. Michael calls God and "Hey God, we need your help! That Moloch roused Ted Kennedy out of a drunken stupor and he's talking again...Words coming from his mouth-not a good thing." So God looks away from the assembly line for just an instant and accidently misses Fastolph. Poor Fastolph gets jipped the Common Sense grace.

OK, OK. I know the Ted Kennedy thing was bad taste. And I know God doesn't make mistakes. But I tell ya, this kid brings this imagery to mind-a lot.

Our farm, prior to our living here was an ostrich farm. In the chick barn, there was an incubator filled with ostrich eggs. The first task my husband accomplished was to get rid of these old eggs. Have you ever seen an ostrich egg? Think big. Think dinosaur eggs.

Now the kids like to explore the farm which is usually OK. They have found things that little boys find fascinating like an ostrich skeleton in the fields. Yesterday Fastolph stumbled upon an old ostrich egg in the fields. Now everyone knows if you find a teeny little old chicken egg, you don't want to break it. We have lived here nearly two years. You don't want to break an old rotten ostrich egg, do you? Do you see where I am going with this? As if he wasn't stinky enough from the skunk!

I feel the need to blog about these events to keep a record to look back on and have a good laugh. My mother says I just print out this journal one day, edit it and publish it.

That Fastolph!!!!!!

This kid really needs his own category!

OK, the rest of the human race, when we see a skunk, we go the other way. No, not Fastolph, he throws rocks at it and gets himself and his little brother sprayed.

Gorbulas came in talking about Cisco throwing rocks, and they both were all wet. Fastolph is behind him saying "shhhh". Then the smell hit me, like he was rolling in kitty litter and rotten onions.

Lord give me strength.

The Greatest Show On Earth

Today we went to the circus. my parents had two complimentary tickets from Southwest Airlines and were planning on going, but neither one felt up to it. They offered to watch the kids, so hubby, the baby and I went. I really liked the elephants, the acrobats, the upside down people and the Chinese Acrobats.

Most of the people were there with their kids and we just had a baby. There was a lady next to us with a baby and she kept explaining everything going on to the baby like the baby cared : "Oh look over there! Is that a goat? Yes it's a goat!". The little girl found Baby Fredegar more entertaining.

During intermission, vendors came out with big cups of lemonade-you know the kind with big slices of lemon floating in them. My husband wanted one and I went out to get a Diet Pepsi. When I came back he had no lemonade because they wanted ten bucks for it. We usually do make the circus each year and are always amazed at the prices.

The other funny thing is everyone kept remarking at us about what a cute baby and giving us advice for when they get older. We would just smile.

We didn't stay until the very end because Baby Fredegar (and Mom) had enough, but close to.

We didn't stay until the very end, but close to it.
