In the last two days I have scared the bejeebers out of Anders at least twice. I have to admit that I am really afraid of bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jacket's, and pretty much any thing with wings and a stinger. It probably has to do with the fact that I've never been stung and have no idea what kind of pain to expect. Anyways, yesterday I had the door open while Anders played on the porch with water and I cleaned. I had just put Anders in time out for trying to hit me and he was a little emotional about that and I looked up and a HUGE wasp had drifted in from outside. At that same moment I was on the phone with my grandma who had just called. Of course I screamed and ran to grab a pillow off the couch. My reaction must have been pretty dramatic because Anders completely freaked out and was crying but not getting off his "time out chair". I hung up with grandma and watched and waited while that big old wasp cruised around the apartment. Anders was still crying and wondering what was wrong. Pretty soon after being misted with poison the wasp flew into the window, I slammed it and waited for it to expire. It did eventually.
Today slightly same scenario except no time out and no grandma on the phone. I was showing Anders how to water the flowers on the porch and all of a sudden a very loud buzzy bee hit my head. It was so close to my ear that it sounded especially loud. I spilled the water on the floor and me and Anders..... He ran inside with me as fast as possible. I'm not sure what was wrong with the bee. After it hit my head it landed on the ground and convulsed for a few minutes until I put it out of it's misery. I guess that my head wasn't very forgiving.

Besides getting run into by the bee today, I went to La Habra Ranch Market with my mom which was great. I have always wanted to go there with her to ask about various vegetables and get her opinion about the quality of what I want. After shopping and lunch I came home and chopped up all of the veggies and put them in bags ready for the next week. There is something so gratifying about chopping and preparing good food. It is so satisfying!
One other little side note. Anders has been kind of sentimental the last couple of days. Yesterday I was singing "away in a manger" to him and his lip got all quivery and he almost started crying! I figured that he must be a little tired or something so today I sang it to him again and the same thing happened! He really is our little tender heart.
