From Wrestling to Letters
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 10:34PM Have you seen Nacho Libre? Well, if you have, think of the scene when Nacho is getting his butt kicked by the two midget wrestlers. That is how it has been going with me, except I'm getting my butt kicked by my allergies and my laundry. Instead of tag-team, they both jumped in the ring.
Totally unfair.
Seriously? I don't know where the time is going, and I am not sure what I have gotten accomplished, but somehow we keep having clothes to wear and I am getting Christian to school each morning. We are just doing some ordinary stuff around here these days.
The kids have started T-ball and softball.
Christian recited the Gettysburg Address for his class, and made it onto the plaque that his teacher keeps for all the students who have memorized it.
We went on a Hawaiian vacation.
Just kidding. We went for a walk around the block, and I took some pictures for the I Heart Faces challenge, but then didn't get them on the computer and write a post early enough. So, I will share the picture with you! Michaela is one sweet girl, y'all. You have no idea (unless you know her, then you have some idea)...she is such a helper, and she is so encouraging and loving. I love her so.
Guess who else does?
I have been a stitching fool, and to keep me company while I stitch at night I have been watching movies on the computer through Netflix. So cool! Not good for my back, but a fun way to get something done. I will show you what I've been up to soon...it's not quite finished.
There are so many things floating around in my head...thoughts and ideas, things that have happened. I feel as though I'm sorting through mail in my mind, and I'm not good at that in real life, much less in my head.
What am I talking about?!
I might need to lay off the Benedryl, but this would lead to some very messy moments and feelings of insanity in general. So, I'm not sure what to do about that. Maybe I could write a letter...
"Dear Allergies, GO AWAY! Sincerely, Christina".
I am also sending this note, pronto...
"Dear Puberty, I'M 35!! GO AWAY! Sincerely, Christina".
I have a way with words, right?
I know. That's what keeps you coming back here. And I'm so glad you do! Until next time, and I am hoping that it will be a bit more coherent. (Like all the other things I write.)

Wow! Way to go Christian! That is so cool!
What movies have you watched lately?
BTW - That is one gorgeous girl you got there. :)
Aw, I remember reciting the Gettysberg Address - though sadly I've forgotten most of it. Though if I had a hat like that, I might be inspired to remember!
Seriously? he memorized the whole thing? How sad is it that that deeply impresses me? I can't even memorize my daughter's cell phone number.
I am deeply sorry for your allergies and your puberty and your laundry. Alas though, I have no solutions for you.
I don't know what I'd do without Claritin. Or Nacho Libre. I love them both. And I know I've said this before, but seeing your kids interact with each other makes me want to have another one. They are so sweet. You are clearly doing many things right.
You are still going through puberty? I am so confused! :)
Great picture of your girl!
Lumberjack's Wife...no, no. It's puberty that's confused!
And Elaine...as far as my kids interacting, I think that it's what the Lord has done in spite of me, not what I have done! :)
i was about to get really jealous of that hawaiian vaction! : ) so sorry about the allergies! i can totally relate with you on the puberty thing. my face breaks out constantly... ugh! your kiddies are too adorable!
Amy, I watched 10 Things I Hate About You, which reminded me why I don't want my children to attend public high school, but also reminded me why I had a crush on Heath Ledger. I watched some random movies, that I'm glad were basically free, but I watched the whole thing...Her Minor Thing, Carolina, Penelope. I also watched The Family Man, which I love. Love Nicholas Cage, love Tea Leone. So...it was fun. :)
I know what you love about Nacho Libre!
