The guys my husband works with call me "the fairytale wife". Isn't that so awesome? I think so.
When I went to pick Orion up on Saturday from his week in North Carolina, I waited and waited in the parking lot. Needless to say, Calix was getting mighty antsy sitting in his seat..so I turned some music on, got him out of the car and we danced around in the parking lot. That's just the kind of mom I am. Out of nowhere, someone from across the street screams "are you Delgado's wife?" "I surely am" "he's in the back..do you want to see him?" Hecks yes I wanted to see my husband! So this mystery guy told me to follow his wife. Um..no idea who his wife is..and I was already out of the car..I'm not going to buckle Calix back in to drive to another parking lot.
Mystery guy was gone..but I walked into the crowd. Lemme tell ya..it was about 9pm and *everyone* was wearing the same thing. There's no way in shit I'm going to find my husband. I used my voice "Who can point me to Delgado??" mystery man stepped out of the crowd and said he'd lead me to him. He's all asking me questions about my pregnancy..and how it's going..and I'm totally answering them like I know this person. Then he tells me his wife just had a baby 4 months ago and I say "congratulations" and he says "it's a little late for that" "well..I didn't know..". I wasn't sure if he was joking..or being a dick. I was hoping it was a joke (it was). He led me to where O originally was..but wasn't. Anyway..we waited and waited for Orion..in the dark..next to about 300 big guys all wearing the same thing...and then mystery guy sees me waiting and tells me he'll go find him.
A few minutes later..here comes the strut. I know this strut..walk..march..whatever you wanna call it. I *know* it. "Calix! It's daddy!!" We kissed and hugged and all of that good stuff. Eeee hehehehe..I have my husband back!! On the way home, I told him about mystery guy and he told me who it was. It was his freaking Sergeant. I've heard allll about him and blah blah blah...I'd just never seen him before. And stupid me didn't even look at his freaking last name velcro'd to his freaking chest. I'd been wanting to meet him, ya know? I also got to meet 2 of the other guys I'd made cookies for (and have been meaning to do again..but ya know. I like snickers.) Anyway..so O was like "yeah he said he wanted to meet my fairytale wife" "how am I a fairytale? what the crap do you tell them??" He explained that the guys are always talking about how much they fight with their wives or whatever and he said that we don't fight. Obviously, we do every once in a while..or we do what I consider fighting..for us, anyway. But everyone else seems to think it's funny because it never makes any sense.
Me: Orion..you suck sometimes.
Orion: I just love you..so..that's weird.
I don't know..but other than the fighting thing..I guess I do lots of things that other wives don't..that I always just figured were normal. Yeah..apparently not so much. So to them? I'm this fairytale wife..and they all felt the need to meet me to kind of..believe it.
They were all talking about me today..and I called Orion to tell him to mow the lawn because "it's getting out of control"..and when he picked up and said "hey babe" everyone around him started cracking up. "uhh..why's everyone laughing?" "oh, because we were all just talking about our wives and everyone was saying how good I had it..and then you called." ooookkaaayyyy. Well, that's weird.
your classic everyday picture of Calix and mommy
of course his eyes are closed..like usual. (I know..
the flash. but sometimes you just need to use it)
evil jerkface pulling mommy's hair..and mommy not
liking it too much. (check out his evil face!)
this is where I prefer him so my hair
stands a chance (I swear, with the
chunks he pulls out..even while it's up,
I'll be bald by 25)
and this is me getting him back. check out the
wedgie. (I looked over at him..saw it..started
laughing. then took a picture.)
