Nope...that is NOT cool!

My children are obsessed with numbers.  This is nothing new.  This is why obsessions with big numbers are bad... very bad... 

Lying quietly on the floor of my bathroom floor there is a scale.  
Just like most, I really don't like to step on it but I am pretty sure the thing has eyes because I can practically feel it staring me down at times!  The little white scale just lays there and I continue to ignore him day in and day out.  

But for some reason, which makes NO sense whatsoever to me, I not only noticed (and acknowledged) my scale today - I actually then did the dreaded... I stepped on it.  

Now, I will not lie.  This all took place at about 10 o'clock PM and after 2 glasses of wine-  just saying 

However, despite those 2 factors,  I stepped on the scale for some unknown reason.  But just as I began to think my contact might be out of focus I realized that in fact my scale number was WAY WAY WAY bigger than normal.  Like WAY bigger.  

I quickly hopped off thinking this was just another scale broken or cheap.  

Until I stopped and really looked at it...  

With no weight on the scale this is what it read - 

 

Ahhhhhh!!!  Give me a heart attack! 

As soon as my eyes saw the number on the lonely scale, I remembered Charlie giggling the other day as I was getting ready.  He kept telling me to look at how much he weighed!  

I guess he was thrilled to see a "big" number!  

However, that was a horrible trick to play on his mother! 

Bless!  Love my house of crazy little loves!  But that is what no mom wants so see when she steps on a scale!
