I Personally Stopped Teenage Pregnancy Tonight
Oh yeah! I rule.
Last night and tonight a church down the street from us has been having a festival (or “party” as Lexie calls it). There’s inflatables, gambling, beer, music, games, and food. All in all a good time.
Last night Matt and I took the girls down and they LOVED it. (Well, Audrey slept most of the time but she loves sleeping so we’ll assume she was happy.) In fact, Lexie attempted to dance to the Cha Cha Slide (for all of your elders out there -basically anyone over 15- it’s the updated version of the Electric Slide). She danced and danced and Matt and I laughed and laughed. It was awesome.
So tonight Mimi and Papaw and I took the girls back. And Lexie had another great time. However, we were there a lot longer tonight and I had to nurse Audrey while we were there.
I approached the information table, hoping the lady would take pity on me and let me go into the church. Uh no. She directed me to the dining tent that’s “practically never used.” Thanks. So I ventured into the tent and there were two preteens gossiping in there. And that was it. It was almost empty. Score! I can nurse.
So I walk to the furthermost corner and get out my Hooter Hider. As I begin to nurse Audrey I notice some serious whispering from the preteens. I hear, “whisper whisper whisper.” ”What?!?!” “Oh my God, I am so out of here.” And both girls jump up, with a glance at me and run out of the tent.
Oh yes, people, I ran them off. By NURSING. With a wrap. And I wanted so badly to run after them and yell, “Oh yes girls – Remember – SAFE SEX or you’ll be nursing in public, too!!”
By ya know, Audrey was latched on and running while breastfeeding just isn’t my thing, baby.
*On an unrelated note, Matt’s dad has been diagnosed with a staph infection in his bloodstream and isn’t doing well at all. He’s on a ventilator and had to be resuscitated this morning. He’s had a seizure this afternoon and it’s not looking good. He is responding to pain, which is a good sign. Please keep him your thoughts and prayers.
