Awesome tidbits from Texas!

First, I owe myself a HUGE congratulations for being able to breastfeed this long! 8 months!!! And still going! I am continually grateful at the end of every day that I am still able to nurse. For those of you who don't know my previous experience with this, the longest I was able to nurse my other two children was 6 1/2 months. My goal with Kam was to make it to at least 8 months (and I was VERY skeptical). I'm not giving up, just sharing my success!

On that note, I am also allowed to swear in front of my therapist (and I sometimes do)....wait, Charlene, if you're reading this, I'm kidding. I never swear....ever....! Oh, and Erica too....never!

The other day Gavin and I stopped at Braum's (awesome ice cream place, similar to Baskin Robbins for those of you not in Texas) for ice cream. I was waiting 1 car back from the window to pay (and my windows were down, of course) when I started to smell smoke. It smelled like a fire and with each gust of wind, became a stronger odor. I commented to Gavin about it and even started looking around for the direction it might be coming from. Then, I thought I saw a puff of smoke by the front driver's side tire (gasp! I know...). I leaned out my window and saw nothing...until I turned my head and looked back. There it was! It appeared that someone had tossed a cigarette into the wood chips right beside the Braum's building. I was disgusted and shocked at the same time. There were no flames yet, but smoldering ashes that grew in circumference every time the wind blew (and it was blowing yesterday). As soon as I got to the window, I told the girl to get me a cup of water so I could douse the hazard. I like to think that I just saved Braum's from burning down! I know there were no flames (but with the wind blowing like it was, it was inevitable that there soon would be), but sometimes mommie's need to feel like HEROES! And yesterday, I was one....at least in Gav's eyes. It was AWESOME!
