Enjoy Your Chili Flavored Death Apple

This morning Collin was mentioning how heavy his lunch bag was.(he carries both our lunches)  I told him, jokingly, to drag it behind him like a ball and chain. It was heavier than it has been because I used our glass leftover containers. I also mentioned he could have left his at home, but still bring mine because I want my lunch. He then stated that my lunch was on the bottom, and pantomimed throwing it down and said smash. I said that's fine, it's your bag you're going to make a mess of with broken glass and chili. And then I reminded him that his snacks for the day were in there too. We then discussed the pitfall of eating an apple that potentially had shards of glass in it. Hence the title, I looked at him and said, "Okay, well enjoy your chili flavored death apple." Then we both laughed.

This was the walk from the car to front door of our building at work.

Last night was not a good night for sleep. For some reason we wound up staying up past ten, and then wee one woke up from a bad dream around 1 am. We gave her a bottle and laid her back down. Then the heinous bitch we call a cat decided around 4am it would be fun to climb up in the box spring of our bed and claw at the fabric.... Needless to say, I has a tired today. I am taking comfort in the fact that it is Friday and I am hoping we get to sleep in a bit tomorrow.

This next part will appeal or be better understood by my female readers, so dudes feel free to skip down to the asterisk part if you want. Nothing gross or graphic, just a more female understandable thing.

So I have been feeling super heavy and bloated the last couple days. I knew from last weeks weigh in that I had added a few pounds to where I had been. So that said, and while feeling HUGE this morning, I braved the scale, BUM BUM BUMMMMM! Lo and behold, I was back down to where I was. I guess I just feel puffy. LOL, puffy.

This next part is something that actually shocked me and saddened me greatly. In further proof that American media outlets are war and fear mongers that would rather share heart wrenching and horrific stories, I was deeply disappointed by the lack of coverage on the Referendum Vote that took place in Scotland yesterday, September 18th. I understand the limited impact it has on our nation, but regardless of its passing or failing, I truly feel it was a piece of current events that should have been more publicized. It was history being made. Scotland was considering breaking away from the UK to once again be its own country free from England's influence. Whether good or bad, the fact that it was being considered and voted on was amazing. Scotland has been a part of the UK for over 300 years. Honestly, watching the votes as they were tallied yes or no was more intriguing and exciting than any of our current domestic politics. We're talking about a nation's potential rebirth into independence! But hey, since we weren't militarily involved I guess that's why it didn't matter so much...

Ultimately, the referendum did not pass. The Scots voted, and with an 84.5% voter turnout, opted to remain under the blanket of the UK. I don't know the finer details of why or what sparked this Referendum, but I do know that I plan to learn more of the why and why not.

And now I shall leave you to consider all this and go about my Friday.
