I cry daily, but today it was for a really good reason. Usually it's just because of sweet commercials I see on tv or remembering how long I will actually be sick for... but today... I was feeling really nauseous and starving because it had been two hours since feeding time. The only thing I felt like I could stand to eat was a taco salad from Taco Bell. I hate going to the Taco Bell that is closest to my house because it always smells like sewage in the drive thru. Somehow the smell from across the freeway crap plant all collects on the side of the building. You can't escape the smell because you have to roll down your window to order and then again to pay and get your food. When you are already nauseous that is not the best thing in the world. The taco salad from Taco Bell was important enough for me today to brave the scent. I waited until 2:30 because I had car pool pick up today and I took all of the kids home. I cruised over to the boarder, salivating a little anticipating my salad, and only getting a little frustrated with Connor telling me that he wanted the circle things there??? What the freak? Circle things? He said "it looks like this" pointed his finger toward me, moved it in a circle to spiral toward me. I should have gotten it from that but I was still frustrated with him. So anyway. I pull up to the speaker and order my beloved taco salad and some cinnamon twists (I can't beleive that he even remembered those, I don't ever remember him getting them, he doesn't like mexican so we never get him any). I get to the pay window and get my purse... no wallet! I left it down by the computer last night.. NOOOOOO!! So I tell the guy at the window that I have no wallet, he looked at me like he didn't know what to do. Poor guy, I messed him all up. I went home, sent Connor in to get my wallet. I noticed that Connor's friend left his jacket in the back seat so we ran it over to him, I noticed that Connor was dancing up to the door. We went back home to potty, then off we went to the Bell again. Roll the window down order and this time adding a LARGE Dr. Pepper. This time when I roll the window down to pay, I'm gagging, it was horrible! It's worse when I imagine what the smell actually is. I got my Taco Salad, thank heavens! Was it really worth it you ask? YES! And it has stayed down. I motion for Taco Bell to relocate, or open one closer to me. I can't stand the smell! Any one second that?
Yesterday I cried because I was backing my car in the garage and hit my side view mirror, and broke broke it! If you hear me telling people that I was driving down the road and an Apache helicopter came up behind me and shot it, just go with it. It's a much better story.
Thank you to all the nice congratulations you gave me. I have some great friends!
P.S. Amy lou, I'm sad that you are not pregnant with me too.. hello.. get the move on!

Sweet Teri,
I am so excited that you are pregnant . . . but I have to admit that I am not even slightly envious of your cravings and smells! Poor girl! Your blog reminded me of that story - "If you give a Mouse a Cookie!" Hang in there! You make beautiful babies - even if it does make you cry! It will all be worth it!
Love ya!
Seriously, just call me next time and I'll hook you up with your taco salad, no need to get you all pukey feeling. Did I mention that I am SO EXCITED for you! Very cool.
It's funny, but I have never noticed the smell in drive through there. Even all the times I went in my first trimester. I do know how gratifying it is to actually get something that sounds good and actually tastes good as you eat it! Still super happy for you!
With Meg's pregnancy I was hooked on Taco Bell's nachos bell grande. my mouth salivates just thinking about it.
Oh my gosh! I know that same helicopter! It happened to my side mirror too! I was backing the car into my garage, BACKING IT IN! that should get me points, right??
trying ever so hard to miss Mr. Incredible's car, It's a tight squeeze we have a 2 car garage.
BAM! I was distracted in avoiding his prize posession that I hit mine. I tried to play it off, like nothing happened, in a matter of seconds I was scheming up stories! EXCEPT he heard the BIG WHACK and came running out to the GARAGE!!!
But that Apache helicopter had me in his sights from the front and blasted my mirror off! I think I recognize the PILOT!
Can sean put and APB out on him???
I have done that many times about not having my wallet with me! Grrr
Uggh!! don't miss that pukey feeling or puking for that matter. It's amazing what we put our bodies through to get these sweet little ones here!
Teri...I am seconding that SICK Taco Bell sewage smell! Laughing so hard that you wanted your salad so bad you came ALL the way back home and went back! I'm with Kristin...CALL ME! I will totally go get your Taco Salad for you next time!! ...and tell Conner that Jace thinks those circle thingys are yummy too!
Ooooh...I am nearly crying about that darn helicopter messing up your beautiful car. (sniff, sniff)
Sorry about the smells. I'm totally backing you up as well. I've never had the circle thingys...they are sounding good right now.
I can't have a baby out of wedlock (I can't believe I just said out of wedlock...that sounds so old school), so you will have to wait a few more months. But, at least they will be close-ish in age. That picture of the taco salad looks delish. I might have to get one on the way home from work!
You are hilarious and I'm totally going with the helicopter story. Sorry I spaced calling you guys the other night. Maybe you can ask your husband about the south fork community on the south mountain in draper. Hopefully I'll remember to call and get the update :)
Lou, I am going to miss you so much this Christmas!!! Whaaaaa
