The week before September I became extremely bogged down with packing, school work, and getting ready to leave my hunnie.
We're on our own now!
From the 4th-15th I flew back to see mi madre' y mi hermana (the only reason I'm writing spanish is because it sounds cool when you read it and because I can!)
The plane ride was herendous!! Talk about a death penalty, maybe we should make our criminals ride in planes for long hours days with kids! Then maybe all the criminals would committ mass suicides. (Theory coming from my thoughts for my Crimnal Justice course on how to deal with crime.)
We thoroughly enjoyed a four in a half hour plane ride to Las Vegas, a three hour lay over in Las Vegas, another two in a half hour plane ride to Spokane, Washington, and a long four and a half hour drive to my mom's place in Montana.
WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT MY THREE-YEAR-OLD WOULD HAVE TO PEE SEVEN TIMES IN THE DURATION OF TWO HOURS!!!!????.
Also I had a last minute genius idea before we left home to bring majority of his Thomas the train set (because they are suppose to be the easy travel type) and set them up while we had a layover. As I finally set everything up: the train set, the laptop with Power Rangers on, pulled all our carry on items out of the stroller, and decided to breast feed Kami........ Nikholi pulls his pants and underwear down around his ankles and says, "MOM, I HAVE TO PEE!!!" So while I'm attempting to running him to the restroom, with his pants still around his ankles, a blanket over Kami which I was trying to hold with my chin, so I wouldn't bare myself too, I entrusted my little layover setup to and older couple so I could attempted to take care of "business."
When I thought the worst was over... as the plane began to Taxi out of the airport and Nikholi says, "Mom, I have to pee." I firecly snap back, "Just hold it!" He then GRABS himself and yells "I'M STARTING TO PEE, I'M STARTING TO PEE!" *I never realized how literal a three-year-old can take something.* I pushed the call button asking the stewart if he could use the restroom before departure. The sterwart asked the pilot and then gave Nikholi the go ahead. Up at the front of the plane in the bathroom by himself, he finishes his business, then walk out AGAIN with his pants around his ankles. Everyone is laughing, and to my mere embarrassment, I'm convinced that half the world has seen his ding-dong.
When we finally arrived at my mom's house: my mom and I did homework, enjoyed Kami's company, while Nikholi played the Wii. I have never laughed so hard in such a long time... We have come to determine that in order to have a good time,
YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF (Jeff Foxworthy, these are for you!):
- Attempt to fix a motorcycle tire on the kitchen table.
(My step dad had to replace the tire on the rim of his bike, and chose to complete this project on the kitchen table.)
- You think fresh cut grass is a perfume!
(My sister came in from cutting the grass and said, "Don't I smell good!"
- You have six people living in a house but only one bathroom!
(Every time someone entered the bathroom, of course, Nikholi had to pee)
My mom became frusterated by Nikholi shananagens she said, "Just Go Outside!" Ending in a result she wasn't expecting... He ran out front, dropped his pants and watered the lawn.
Stevensville, Montana - where my mom lives - is a cute little town. Like nothing I have ever seen before. The nearest McDonalds is approximately 15-20 miles away (which I commented doesn't even have a play place, then my step dad and husband added to the mix: "That's why they play in the freeways and learn to dodge cars!") Then the nearest WalMart... Get This... AT LEAST a 35-45 minute drive.. I can't live without my WalMart! I'm having a hard enough time here in Maryland with no Super Walmarts close!
But the town was convienent.. And looked like something that you would pull out of a modern day western movie. The thing I enjoyed the most was the little convient store, it was like a minature craft/fabric store, with an minature CVS (carrying a little bit of everything), a minature Kinko's, a Pharmacy, and best of all a little dine-in ice cream place all in ONE SPOT! The ice cream place reminded me of something back in the 50's with a little bar and the best ice cream in town. I think the thing that impressed me the most was when my mom left a 50cent tip. The way of life back there was so much more relaxed than our fast paced environment here. I truely enjoyed myself. A couple days later, my grandmother arrived, and I HAD TO GO BACK TO THAT ICE CREAM SHOP!
MOM: You would never guess what I found here, my Safeway carries MOOSE MOSS ICECREAM, though of course that's not the name of it. I think it tastes much better when it's called MOOSE MOSS!
All in all, we had a wonderful time! I can't wait to go back and visit again!
When I get another chance I'll have to upload some pictures and tell you about the Bison Range.. But that's all for now folks!
