i have the maturity of a 13 year old boy:
Maybe it's the fact that tonight when my husband fell asleep sideways on the bed, i was inclined to use my FAVORITE toy to wake him... FLARP! have you ever seen this stuff? it's GAK, but you just squish it back into it's own bottle, making fabulous fart noises.
My aunt gave it to our family last week; my gorgeous, refined, amazing aunt. And as her son was showing us how to use it she replied, "Come on Son, I know you can do better than that!"
Maybe it's the fact that THIS movie, Blades of Glory, caused big fat tears to run down my face for the entire show. i always cry when i laugh, but this was the equivalant of sobbing. yes, the humor is what you would expect a 13 year old boy to get a kick out of. but this is what anniversary memories are really all about.
We also watched THIS movie, which also has a lot of teenage boy-isms in it. and i also cried watching this movie this week, but not quite for the same reasons. i loved every minute of this movie.
and really i know that i should be posting about far more important things, like how my habit of leaving the bottle of 409 out on the kitchen table before and even during dinner vexes my husband's soul. oh well, here goes nothing.
i've been concerned for a few weeks now that my baby is in the wrong position. i'm only 25 1/2 weeks right now, but i can tell that she was transverse. this freaked me out, because i really am afraid of hospitals, c-sections, and mean ole nurses. so i've been rubbing my belly and praying that she would flip the right way. well, i got the answer to my prayer and am now realizing how NICE it was for her to be transverse. now i can't breathe as well, i have to find a bathroom every few minutes it seems (which keeps me from EVER sleeping), and i'm reminded as to why pregnancy can be so darn uncomfortable. up to this point this pregnancy has been one of my more comfortable ones. so be careful what you pray for. oh yeah, and my morning sickness is back again. FUN!
Saturday i got some much needed crafty time with my mom and the girls from my ward (congregation). i made a cute wall hanging, 2 capes, and 2 tu-tu's. i'll post pics and some easy directions soon.
sundays are the best and worst day of the week for me. i love spending so much time as a family. and yet, church with the hellions isn't exactly easy. it feels like i spend more time in the bathroom with kids (and myself) than i do listening to the speakers and teachers. everyone keeps saying just to wait a few more years and things will calm down... a few more YEARS??? come on people! i'm talking about making it through the next 3 hours without breaking down!
and yet there were moments of peace among the storm. my geni has a gift with people. not only is she amazingly cute, but she understands people and what they need. as we sat "listening" she began to walk around. now keep in mind there are people down the row from us with kids that she could play with, there are sweet elderly women behind us; but my geni picked an "ole goat" to befriend. our old, cantankerous friend Bart, who is 72, was sitting by himself in front of us (his wife died last spring). she shimmied up through the seats in front of us to play peek-a-boo. as she made her way around to go and sit with him i watched as he wiped a tear from his face. there was a reason for us sitting there, even if the rest of the time at church seemed so chaotic.
once i had lunch and a long nap, the rest of sunday was fabulous too. we went on a nature drive... ironic, i know, but we didn't feel like walking. we drove out through rural salt lake county, which there isn't much left of. as we drove we taught the kids about everything we found. and we were even privileged to see a herd of young deer. we pulled over and watched them quietly eat for several minutes. i had never seen wild deer that close before.
also, i've forgotten to mention this for awhile, but my mom is officially engaged! she got her ring last weekend. they'll be setting a date sometime soon. she's moving to be closer to him the first week of june. CONGRATS mom!
