It was a big weekend here that started on Friday. Me and Laci had to go to the school and count fundraiser money and then after we met my mom and went to Bridgemill for the bi annual neighborhood sale and hit a few sales. I got a lego table for the kids for 5.00! And its nice! I got a few other little things and then finally called it a day around noon. The rest of Friday was spent relaxing.
Saturday I got up and me and brian and the kids went yard saling again and had a lot of fun and hit at least 40 sales! We didnt buy much but we still had fun. Again we were done around noonish and then we came home and relaxed and then I went to Kmart to browse around while brian and the kids stayed home watching scary movies. On the way home I stopped at the boiled peanut guy and got a bag of peanuts and then publix. When I got home me and Brian grabbed some tea and the peanuts and went outside with the kids. I took the first peanut out, cracked it, sucked the odd tasting water out of it, opened it without looking and ate the first 2 nuts out of 3 in the shell....and spit them out!!!! I looked at the shell and seen this odd granual looking stuff and then turned the last nut over to see....MAGGOTS!!! Omg I almost threw up! The peanut had boiled maggots right along inside them! I opened another 5 and ALL of them had either whole big maggots dead and boiled or the weird granuals and what I think to be the teeny baby maggots that flies first lay. Ugh I am getting barfy just reliving this in my head! Brian was so mad! He tookthe bag and headed back up there. I told him to be nice though, because they were just a couple of old country guys and were very sweet to me when I bought them. He went up and showed them peanut after peanut full of maggots and the guys flipped out! He promised he would stop selling for the day and dump the ones he had left and that this batch was from a new supplier bc the other supplier was backordered. That he was freaking out because he had sold peanuts all day long! He begged brian not to go to the local paper and said he would give us free peanuts all fall long. Brian said we wouldnt go to the paper, but passed on the peanut offer. *gag* After that I was pretty much done for the day and we called it a night.
Yesterday we went to the river with Clover and the kids by the house for a few hours. Christopher had the most fun, Laci was good as long as she was sitting on a big rock or in my lap, and Clover was his normal self being wierd and eating leaves and trying to walk along the rocks. Brian did fall and hit his bad knee on a rock real bad and it has him limping pretty bad right now. I am hoping to get him to the doctor sometime this week to have it checked out. Then last night we went to my moms for Joey's birthday dinner. His girlfriend Kelsey was there and it was nice to finally meet her. We all laughed and hung out and joked for a few hours and then it was time to get my exhausted kids home and in bed! They both passed out within a few minutes of being home!
Today is the first day of fall break so I have both kids home all week. I am planning a lot of things this week. This morning I am taking them to the park by the lake to play in the sand and be silly til the heat comes. This is a terrible heatwave that I am hoping is the last of today. Its going to be almot 95* today! BLEH! I want my fall back!!!! So anyhow I have a big week planned and I am looking foward to decorating soon for halloween! YAY!
