Day 20

Well. Here we are, day 20. Where has this month gone? I am sad to say our Shred has been interpreted by the nasty strep throat. Yeck, yeck, yeck! I am hoping it will be easy to get back on The Shred Train as I feel like we were just gaining some serious momentum.

20 days of blogging hasn't been so bad. I have enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It has been fun to hear from you through comments and emails of stories that can relate to our view. These make it worth every single word. Thank you!

Some random thoughts from today:

*I forgot how much death is in the movie Lion King. It ain't all Hakuna Matata. I should learn by now to pre-screen movies I loved before we watch them with Brevin. If for anything to be a liiittttllle more prepared in having the tough conversations (For the record, I do NOT remember The Sandlot having so many curse words!).

*Brevin has an imaginary friend (sorta). Her name is Kitty. She is a stuffed animal and now goes everywhere with us. Kitty sits at the dining room table, for rides in the car and dances around the house singing Get On Your Boots by U2. Brevin informed me that Kitty is not allowed on the counters as she doesn't know how to safely get down. This has really taken me by surprise because Brevin has never had something he has been attached to.

*I know I could open a whole can of worms here, but I am going to say it. Out loud. I wish I had more empathy when my husband is sick. For the love, he packed up a car with two young boys in the middle of the night to bring me sweet relief at the 5 hour ER trip. Why can't I love him back like that? I have heard this as a common theme amongst my wifey friends, the struggle to have empathy when these tough brute leader men are sick. Why is it friends? WHY?!?

*Some things are stirring and cooking around here. Excited about some new and old connections happening that will hopefully lead to some cool things in the future!

*I like to have breakfast for dinner. And I love bacon. Too much.

The end.
