Saturday was a super fun day!!! Well mostly. The morning was kinda bleh and I'll get to the evening part later, but the middle was super fun!!!! I pretty much know its a good day when I haven't wished Jesus would take me home even one time! Yay! I got it in my head that we HAD to go to the pumpkin patch to.day. I knew this may not be the brightest idea because it was gonna be like 5000 degrees out there, (um, hello weather, its FALL! Please send some coolness!) but I was so bored with being in this house. If I didn't get out soon I knew I was gonna lose it. I also just knew if I didn't get out there pronto they were gonna run out of all the winter squash I just HAD to have. They did last year. Of course that was because it SNOWED in October and ruined some of their crops, but hey, you just never know.
I could have waited.
There was lots. I might even have to go back and get more. Yes we like squash THAT much. Well me and my boys do. Hubby thinks its disgusting. So more for us. And he was totally rolling his eyes when I said I might come back for more. Might have something to do with the fact that several that I bought last year were forgotten in the pantry and went bad. Soo not gonna happen this year though. More eye rolling from hubby, followed by some glaring from me. And then we laughed. So then we were off, into the ginormous pumpkin patch to find the perfect future jack-o-lanterns. Did I mention it was ginormous? Did I also mention it was 5000 degrees and we left the waters in the car? Not smart. I thought I was gonna die. Or pass out, which so would have hurt because, did you know, that pumpkin vines are ultra pokey? They also leave little pokies in your skin like a cactus. Fun! Let me show you how ginormous it was.
I don't know if you can tell how ginormous it is, and I'm totally no good at guestimating acreage, sooo, you get the picture right? There were so many awesome pumpkins it was hard to choose. It became really hard when I no longer had any oxygen to my head. There were some HUGE pumpkins out there. And reddish flat ones. And warty ones.

We ended up with these babies...
I ended up sitting on huge pumpkins with my head between my knees many, many times. I made it worse by laughing. But I could only imagine how dumb I looked. It was funny.
I gave the owner one of my photos I took out at his place last year. He is a cool guy. He and his daughter were ultra impressed which gave me warm fuzzies. You could totally buy one if I had figured out how to set up my photo website. But I haven't. I tried and my head exploded.
After our pumpkin adventure we totally splurged and went out for some dinner. I think we were all still a little wonky from the heat and ended up laughing our heads off through the whole meal. Embarrassing, but way fun! Not wanting the good day to end we went to the local Dollar Tree. I won the find-the-most-disgusting-food contest with a can of some kind of fish that sloshed around. We found these candies....
Pirate Chomper gummy candy!!! Hilarious!!!! All the way home we did this...
I laughed so hard I almost passed out. Again. I also thought for a little while I might throw up. It was a close call. Later we played cards. Good times!! But then, little by little, I felt it creeping up. Then, just like that, my body said that the good times were over. It was time to pay for the day. I mean, did I really think I could walk in the heat, then walk around a store, and laugh that hard repeatedly without any consequences? BLAM!!! MIGRAINE!!! With a whole bunch of other yucky stuff thrown in like, extreme thirst, pain, tachycardia, tremors, nausea, etc. And just like that my mood dumped. Why do I have to pay every time I push myself just a tiny bit? I mean how is that fair?. It really just gets so old. That's how it is with this illness though. We get tired of being sick, so we go do something we used to do, push ourselves for our sanity, and then pay for it. I really hope to get some help this month from the specialist I'm going to see, so that having fun and laughing doesn't make me sick anymore. Because it just felt so good to have fun...at least until it didn't.
