I sat and thought about you, my loyal friends, and how your level of excitement may not equal mine. However, I got a really good #11 for today! So please take a walk down memory lane with me, starting with:
10 random things from Elementary school:
1. First friend I sat by in 1st grade was named Zari....like Kari...what are the chances.
2.Voted "best dressed" in 4th grade. Really wanted "Cleanest desk."
3.Loved all my teachers in every grade.
4. 5th grade teacher was my favorite...she used to be a model and had the prettiest painted nails and hands.
5.Was the "Hoop Shoot" (free throw) champ in 3rd and 4th grade.
6. Lost my touch in 5th.
7. Redeemed myself as the "Wall Ball" champ in 5th.
8. Had a principal who reminded me of John Wayne...tall, muscular, tan, and so cool with all his rings and bracelets.
9.Broke my leg in 2nd grade and was mortified to have my desk "lifted" so my giant cast could fit underneath.
10. Read Beverly Cleary books over and over again and still love them to this day.
O.k. so that's my 10 for today. As for #11..........
This is Jack...my first born. If it's hard to read exactly how he's feeling... I'll help, not too thrilled. You see, his loving father and I had some very exciting (and quite surprising) news to share with the boys. I thought, hey why don't I wrap up a picture of this "present" and let the boys unwrap it. Won't that be so cute. I have now learned that the word "present" means a whole lotta something different ie:video games and wii paraphernalia- to a 4 and 6 year old boy. Needless to say, an ultrasound picture of their future sibling was a big bust. They all have come to their senses and realized there will be no Wii ANYTHING in their future. However, there will be a whole lotta opportunities to ....help Mom with a happy attitude! So there you go....that's my big fat news. July 26 is the estimated arrival time. We'll find out next month if we're going 4 for 4 on the boy front. I honestly don't care....I'm totally cool either way.This little surprise couldn't come at a more convenient and pristine time...sell my house, pack my house, birth child, move into new house, transfer kids to new school.....whew! July will be an insanely busy month. Pretty cool present though!!!!
