Charles Laughton

There is no star I can identify

with anymore, except you: Captain Bligh,

Rembrandt, Henry, Hunchback, married to

the bride of Frankenstein. I look at you,

I see myself behind the hand that hides

half of the Hunchback’s face, the mouth that cries,

“So beautiful!” to Esmeralda,

embarrassed by its ugliness. A stellar

performance, that eclipse. The shadows your

fat fingers cast across the screen endure

like unreciprocated love. It was

a gesture of pure poetry because

you poured your soul into Quasimodo’s

one good, glistening eye. I suppose,

a soul was all you felt you had to give

the world, so that great gargoyle could live.

Comeback Lessons

I'm baaaaaack!

Wow...so long since I've really blogged.  I'm totally going to blame it on the baby.  Totally.  It is amazing how much time she and her brother consume each day and how much space they fill in my heart!  *deep content sigh*

Okay.  Hallmark moment over.  Let me catch you up.

The boy: He's going to be 13 in a few weeks. THIRTEEN!  Its flown by.  He has traces of facial hair, stinks like a grown up, texts girls...holy cow!  He's adjusted to our move last year well socially, but his grades are in the gutter. *sigh* He seems happy though!  So, we'll work on the other stuff later! :-)

The baby: She's amazing.  Such a pleasant baby!  Smiley and giggly and everything.  Oh...and did I mention how beautiful she is?  If you mix my husband and I's genetics you should get a really tall, hairy troll...she is SO not that! :-)  She'll be ten months old in a few days.

The husband: Still kicking.  He's enjoying my summer break so that he finally has a little bit of baby free time.  The kids are always near us so we have become crazy creative with our uhm...adult time.  What that translates to is that we sneak around like teenagers! WoOoOoOot!  Car hood sex is still hot by the way.


The job:  Aw...who cares!  Its summer right? :-)  Actually I've still got school stuff going on.  I'm going to present a make and take session at the Missouri State Teacher's Association Leadership Symposium.  In like ten days.  *sigh*  HOLY CRAP I've got a lot of things to do!  Fortunately, the hubster is gonna help me put the packets together and that's probably the most labor intensive part of the prep.


The church: Had a great VBS.  Although our numbers are low, everyone is involved.  Seriously.  They are taking care of each other, connecting, getting involved in local projects.  Good stuff.


My boobs:  Did you know that after you breastfeed for a while, your awesome voluptuous boobs start to uhm...er...deflate?  That makes me so sad.  I mean, they still work and all and I just read an article about their HIV curing powers so "yay me!" but they don't look as perky or proud as they did about six months ago!  LOL!


Me: I've turned forty.  It was the worst birthday day in a very long time. :-(  And as for one who likes to celebrate her birthday for a good ten days or so...it was a major let down.  *sigh*  Lesson learned.  I did, however, get to spend a goodly portion of the day with a very dear friend.  That was awesome!

In other news, I think the baby said "damn" today.  *sigh*

Lessons in Winning!

No, I haven't won the lottery, but things are going well. The trash that was stinkin' up my life has been swept away and although I want to kick the old bag when I see it...I've only done that once. :-D Soon, I won't have to see it and that will be even better. My concert is over. It went quite well. Classes are easier now. In less than a week I get to see the baby again! :-D WINNING!

Movin' On Up: A Lesson in Things to Check at the New House

So, all of our stuff is HERE! Hurray! The house is coming together and things are looking quite homey and delightful. Don't get me wrong there are still TONS of boxes to unpack, but the living room and kitchen are pretty close to "normal". Its been quite an adventure this week.

The AC didn't work. It blew out air, but not cold air. So two of the moving in trips were HOT. bleh. Next time: Check earlier.

WASPS! Holy crap. They like this little house and swarm it making buzzing little sounds to show their displeasure at our residing here now! Next time: Bug spray or exterminator right away!

Brrrrrrr. Although the heat index hit over 100 today, NO hot water still bites! And by bites I mean...well...bites. *giggle* It stings the skin like thousands of little lightning bolts hitting my tender bits all at once. Next time: Check the water BEFORE spending the first night! Now its a holiday weekend and my tender bits are just flinching at the very thought of tomorrow's torturous weekend.

But besides all that...its going great! :-D New is good!

Lessons in Thankful

For most of my grown-up life I waited to become a mom. On July 29, 1999 my dream came true. Although I still wanted more children, it seemed that God had other plans. After years of struggling with my feelings of deficiency and infertility I began praying for a peace and an understanding. I began praying to be satisfied and enjoy the incredible life God had given me. Not long after that a miracle happened-I was pregnant!

Tomorrow morning we will welcome our daughter into the world. We've had a crazy healthy pregnancy, our lives have been transformed in many ways in the last 7 months and God has shown us more mercy and grace than we can ever EVER understand. Sweeping away the trash in our lives has opened us up to a multitude of blessings. Humbled. We are humbled by the events of the last year and eager to embrace what our future holds.

Our lives are so much better now than they were this time last year. In nearly every way, in nearly every aspect of our lives we can see God's hand, His protection, His plan.

And we are thankful.
