kung fu
So, Sloanie (10) & Cairo (12) were in their room doing their math when in walks Mollen (4). They tried to shoo her out because in her cuteness, she's pretty distracting... Mollen was resisting ~ & finally Sloanie asked her, "Mollen, we're almost done, just go out for 5 minutes."
Mollen turns to them with an indignant expression on her face. "N-O".
Sloanie looks at her & says, "What did you say to me??!!"
Silence.
Mollen turns, furious... "Sloanie. You are a disgrace to Kung Fu. If you have any respect for who we are and what we do, you will be gone by morning."
*sigh* i guess she watched Kung Fu Panda too many times over the holidays. Way to time your lines, Molls.

Sooooo... here goes... (in whatever order... schmozzle as usual)
1.) There are some things i will eat too many of ~ even if i get sick later... One of them is pepino peppers (they come on the side of a pizza from papa john's ~ & honestly... yum)
2.) i am addicted to Neil. i can't have too much or even enough. He's delicious.
3.) i am what is known as a 'birth junkie' - i love hearing birth stories, baby stories... or better yet, giving birth myself. hehe. It is a miracle i never tire of.
4.) i love the internet. Specifically Wikipedia, Google and Blogger... (with a special shout out to Babycenter)... i have NO idea how homeschool moms did it 20 years ago. i always quote Einstein, who said, 'i never memorize anything i can look up'. Yeh... i'm just trying to be like Einstein.
5.) i love my piano. Gives me an outlet for joy, pain & all that's in between & to express my gratitude to God ~ who is, by the way, the best One to be addicted to...
So to tag, i choose: my sister Stephanie, my sister Jess, Jen, Mel & my dd Cairo. Aaaannnnnd, anyone else who feels like it.

More Dates & Grace
Neil bought a dvd player for our room. i hate watching movies in the basement & we haven't watched a movie together in forever. Last night, he rented Juno 'cause i've wanted to see it since it came out...
So, we got to watch in comfort...
Eating cheesies & sharing a Jones soda.
i had to turn off my lamp so he wouldn't make fun of me when i cried. Some of the scenes were a little close to home.
One that comes to mind...
When Juno tells her dad that she's pregnant & he says (something to the effect of), "i thought you were the type of girl who knew when to say when."
& she looks back at him & says, "i don't know what type of girl i am."
i remember exactly... *exactly* how i felt when i was 19 (3 years older than the character in the movie ~ which is centuries when you're a teenager...) with no wedding ring on my finger, living far away from the one i loved, trying to finish school & not tell anyone why my pants quit fitting. i remember feeling some things for sure - that me & this little baby were a team. From the moment i knew she was there... i sought out every bit of information i could. i memorized what parts of her were developing and i remember where i was the first time i felt her kick.
i remember discovering that even though i didn't know what type of girl i was... i knew the kind of God i served.
& His Grace was sufficient.
