The Bloggin' Blues

So because my brain turns everything into a song, when I typed the title of my post I automatically started singing the below song. I used to love this movie when I was growing up. I am glad I got a new song though. As much as I love Imagine and think it is a great song, it is starting to make me crazy. It's been up there (in my head) for a little too long now. I wonder how long this one will stick around:

So I really have nothing to blog about. And apparently my sisters don't either. So I am just here. With nothing really to say.

I am so excited though because I finally found Emily some shoes yesterday that she will wear. She has all sandals and one pair of boots from last year that are all beat up. It is too cold to wear sandals and her teacher sends home a note at the beginning of each week with all the things they are doing for the week and little reminders. In every note for the past few weeks she has said, "And please, no more open toe shoes. The weather is too cold." And I want to say, "BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING!!! REALLY I HAVE! (sob, sob). Seriously, we have taken 2 pairs back to the store, gone to about 5 other stores and tried on a gazillion pairs of shoes. I was so happy last night when she found a pair that she liked.

Addy (I think that is how I am going to spell it) has always given me kisses since she was little. But she would only give them to me when she wanted. In the past week or two she has started giving them to me when I ask. I say, "Give mommy a kiss" and she will lean over and pucker up and say, "Mmmmm". It is the cutest thing ever and it just melts my heart.

The other day I asked Emily who she played with at recess. She said she played with China, Korea and Soul. I said, "WHAT?! No you didn't". And she said, "Yeah, I did." And I said, "Really, who did you play with?" And she said, "I played with Chyna, you know her mom, she came to my birthday party. And Korea was the girl I was just talking to a minute ago. And Sol is really Maria del Sol but we all call her Sol." I was crackin' up. I am so glad we are so geographically diversified around here.

So I didn't say this before when talking about the dead body, but Steve was leaving to go out of town, noticed the street closed off, and called me and told me to call my friend who lives where the body was found and find out what was going on. Can I just tell you how that was not good info. for me to get as my husband was leaving town. I am such a baby when I have to stay by myself. Thank you to my dear sister Lauren who came to be my protector while he was gone. We all made it through the ordeal alive and well. Whew!!! He will be back tonight, just so you know.

For someone who has nothing to say, I just said a whole lot. About nothing.
