MD and I went to the county fair last night to watch the “Mud Sling”. I had never heard of a mud sling, but I thought it couldn’t hurt anything to check one out. All it consisted of was a bunch of guys in trucks trying to drive as fast as they could through a puddle of mud. You would not believe the number of people who show up to sit for hours to watch this. And that’s all it is, one truck after another driving through the mud to see who can do it the fastest. All the while the announcer keeps yelling things like “Big boys, big toys!” and “Look at him go!”

I did have fun. MD and I got some fair food to eat. He has been talking all week long about getting a polish sausage at the fair, I mean all week long. So he got to have his sausage, and he said it was delicious. I had a hamburger and we both got some fresh squeezed lemonade. He loves the fair lemonade. He was so excited; he was just like a little boy. I looked at him with his eyes all big and round and I thought to myself,

I’m in trouble.

Why am I in trouble you might ask, and I’ll tell you. Because once I have not only MD in the house, but little baby Muffin as well, I know those boys are going to run my life. I’m outnumbered, and I don’t even care. All those two will have to do is look at me with those big, shiny eyes and it will be all over. I know I stand no chance, so I’ve decided not to fight it.

As a side note, being pregnant and drinking a large lemonade at the fair is fun, until you have to pee and you find out that the only place to do so is in a porta-potty. Said porta-potty was really filthy. There was pee all over the floor in it and on the toilet seat as well. The thing was almost full when I went to pee and there was some definite splashing. I was not pleased by this, and I have vowed that no matter how badly I have to pee in the future, I will squat behind a bush before I go into a porta-potty.

And furthermore, how do you have a county fair, at the county fairgrounds and not have one decent bathroom in the whole place. What they did have (besides the disgusting porta-potties) was a building labeled “bathroom” with a big sign and tape blocking it off saying that they were still building, the bathrooms weren’t done. Today is the last day of the fair and as of yesterday the bathrooms weren’t done. Make any sense to anyone?

It’s just plain ridiculousness to me. People have basic needs, food, water and a decent place to pee. Not hard to provide under most circumstances.

The first thing I did when we got home was get in the tub. It felt really nice after sitting in the sun and being all sweaty, not to mention after having been splashed on by the stupid potty.

After that, I watched MD play his new video game until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore. Then I went to bed. Now, I’m at work waiting for all the guests to leave so I can check them out and then sit and wait for my replacement to come in at 3pm. then I’m off the rest of the day today, and tomorrow, and then it all starts over again on Monday.
