Tragedy!

I woke up this morning and experienced a horrible and devastating tragedy. In fact I hope you are all sitting for this because I am going to need your prayer and support as I grieve this situation. It appears the over night my pants have shrunk! I was watching the news last night and there is a strange phenomenon spreading across America. The caption read..."Beware, over consumption of Big Mac's have been releasing a chemical into the air the has been shrinking pants all across the USA." I quickly prayed for all our suffering Americans but never thought it would happen to me. Well The pants have taken me victim and they are continuing to snug tighter as I struggle to breath. Take cover now before this disease spreads to your area. It tends to focus on the behind and then work its way down your thigh. It has almost reached my ankle so I am afraid there is no cure for me now, but please use this storey to help others before the become victim. Perhaps hiding the pants in a sealed box may help. I have heard of people avoiding the spread by placing their pants at the gym. As for me, you can just continue to pray, and hopefully be able to love me anyway.

little side note: Addison recently received some belated birthday money from Grandpa and was anxious to make sure it did not last long. So last night she went on a spending frenzy and made sure she used every last penny. In fact she even went over and needed a little loan from mommy dearest. After much shuffling back and forth and her perfect gift she decided on a game boy advance. She got a blue one with a case and three new games. We also got the best game ever, Super Mario Party 6 for the game cube, which she has been wanting for a long time, (and so have I). It is a great game for the whole family to sit down and compete...I mean play. So anyway by the time we got home it was well past 9pm and of course all the kids wanted to dig into their new toys. So Addison got busy with her game boy, Camryn played a new game on Game Cube, and Corben grabbed a controller so thought he was playing as well. So this is where all the problems started and I am hoping someone has some advice for this. I am finding with all the games there is allot of reading that goes with it. Most of the reading is over my kids head so they are constantly asking me "what does this say?" "what do I do now?" "Can you get me past this level?" All the kids were asking me at the same time and I was ready to go biserk!!! I thought these games were supposed to keep the kids entertained, but all they were doing was driving me crazy. It does not help that I am video game illiterate and my talent does not go beyond the original games of Super Mario Brother, and Frogger on Atari. Help!!!
