All for a @$(!ing Elmo Balloon...

I took Emma to see Sesame St Live yesterday. Of course we had to get some souvenirs. I bought her an $8 Elmo balloon, yes, 8 US DOLLARS.

Exhibit A


Anywho, Emma was playing with the balloon, she went into the kitchen where I hear the back door open. I realize she had the $8 balloon and I know how a 2 year old doesn't realize that balloons fly away once you let go of it. I RUN into the kitchen to get the balloon from flying away on my way to the door I stub my right foot on the stove, I think I have 2 broken toes now... they are still aching and I scraped my right arm on the door jamb.

Blurry but Exhibit B


Being 5 1/2 months pregnant I am lucky these things didn't make me fall on my face but LUCKILY Elmo is safe and sound in my dining room tonight... but I sure paid a price to keep him around, although I'd love to take a knife to his eyeball

You are a good Mommy Karen! I would have never paid $8.00 for some plastic and helium!!

Hope your toes feel better! We took Patrick last winter to see Sesame Street Live & I almost had a heartattack when I saw the cost of the stuff!!
