Things like this happen so often to me that I think they are common to all. I am just now starting to think that maybe it is just me.
I had to get pig food. They were completely out and Ryan is so so busy at work and the feed store where we get the food is only open until 5:00p.m. So yesterday I set out in my parents farm truck to get 1,000 lbs of pig food. After purchasing the food and having it loaded, I got in the truck to head for home. Only except the truck wouldn't start. Oh! Goody for me! It has this problem from time to time, and it can easily be fixed if you just crawl under the truck and bang on the starter. Easy enough if you are not more pregnant that you have ever been! I have to admit, I attempted. I got down on my knees and contemplated how I could shimmy on my back with a big ol' belly. Then I got a mental image of me stuck under the truck and unable to get back out! Really! It made me laugh. Then in desperation, I saw a man waiting for his animal food to be loaded. I walked over and with a tiny 1/2 inch cresent wrench (that's all I had) politely asked if he would crawl under my truck and bang on my starter! He looked at the wrench and laughed. Went to the back of his truck pulled out a massive monkey wrench and crawled under my truck to bang on the starter. She started right up. I think he was thinking "there is no way this is going to work" because the look of surprise on his face when it actually started was priceless.
I should also mention that his belly was not much smaller than mine, so maybe he was thinking "what the heck! why don't you just do it?"
Like I said...I am pretty sure these things only happen to me...I hope you laughed! Because I am still laughing about it!

I am busting up right now. I love it. It was already funny that the nine month pregnant woman had to get 1,000 pounds of pig food. :) Can't wait to meet the new little rascal.
Melanie -
I had no idea you had so many cute kids. You look really good. Your old college roomate - Dewey
You are a dork. ha, that is all that I am thinking right now. You would go get 1000 pounds of pig food at 9 months preggers. This is such a Melanie story that I am laughing out loud at you. Hehehehe. LOVE YOUR GUTS
