hi peeeeeeople. i'm sorry for the lapse in time. i've been super busy and haven't had energy to type in this thing. granted its only been a couple days, but i don't want to slack on writing in here. its been a good method and a great venue for me to show some of my artistic side. i think i've already said that in another entry but oh well. its the truth.
the title of this blog is a quote from the movie bud and i saw yesterday. we went and saw "how to train your dragon" and i can honestly say, its the best movie i've seen all year. yes, i know - its only april. but it was so good. i found myself feeling like a kid again (which, as long as you don't make it a habit to live like a child, i think its a great thing for adults to reminisce and feel what a kid feels. that way, when you can relate and see things fresh and anew like a child does - you can keep in mind that they are great contributors to todays society!) which was awesome. I WANT A TOOTHLESS... see the movie. you'll understand. the story line is cute, the acting and the script are awesome and super funny. and its great for any age. its nice to see a wholesome movie out there for people of all ages to enjoy.
after the movie, bud and i went to friday's and that was a lot of fun. we had a lot of food and it didn't cost that much. i have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! i love it when i have a special lunch at work! woohoo!
speaking of work - its been good but friday i was a tad overwhelmed. i worked a double shift, which you'd think, oh thats not so bad, the babies go to sleep early. yes that is normally true. but this friday - leila did NOT want to cooperate. actually, both leila and ailia didn't want to cooperate. they took a small nap in the morning and did NOT nap in the afternoon. we spent some time in the sun and played really hard so i'm wondering if they were too amped before nap time so they couldn't nap, i'm not sure what the heck was up with them. we'll see how tomorrow goes.
anyway - they were whiny and crabby and leila, who is the more independent one, did not want to be put down. odd. she demanded i hold her and normally - i do not give in to things like that, but she was just miserable and i felt so bad for her. i held her, gave them dinner a half hour early and leila fell asleep in her food. i had to force her to get some food in the belly. you'd think - oh cool, she fell asleep. but no, she went to sleep an hour earlier than when she normally does and then she woke up at 9pm for her night feeding and then wouldn't go back to sleep. she would if i held her, but not if i just put her in her bed. ugh, it was very frustrating and i was overwhelmed. because to top that off, ailia wouldn't take her bottle at 9pm and instead when i changed her diaper, she decided to scream. and ailia's scream is not a force to be reckoned with. talk about ear shattering high pitch guttural screams. its enough to make a sane person go crazy. let me guess, you're now wondering "and why do you want one of these little beasts". i know, its crazy, but i do. SO BADLY! oh to the baby i don't have yet, i love you.
today we went to my brothers church and watched my niece perform in an easter skit. it was super sweet and i got a little teary eyed being able to experience something special in my families life. i loved seeing a proud smile on bob's face and a look of love on donna's. they must have felt so proud of their little girl. awesome. i can't wait for the day when i can do that for my children.
afterwards, we came home and got some food that i made for easter linner. (linner is lunch and dinner mixed, we ate at 2:30pm). i made roasted asparagus with hollandaise sauce and lemon thyme bars. i loved the roasted asparagus but i wasn't to thrilled with the lemon thyme bars. i think if i play with the recipe a little i'd like it. the thyme was a little to overbearing, so if i cut back on that, i think it would be really good. but my family liked it and thats really all that matters. it was nice to sit back and relax with my parents. i love being able to do that. and bud and my dad have been on good terms lately (mostly because they don't have to live in the same house as one another) and thats been a huge stress relief for me. i hate when people have awkwardness between them, i hate when theres tension, and that hate is elevated even further when its between 2 important people in my lives. so needless to say, i'm happy they are doing well with one another. they are very alike in many ways and then very different in others, so they just don't mesh well. ahh well. they are good now so HOORAH!
today was easter. it didn't feel very easter to me, but thats okay. i'm not (and i don't think i have ever been) very big on endorsing easter. its just another way for stores to sell more "stuff", for people to get overly snooty and that just makes me a sad panda. granted - i love what easter is SUPPOSED to be about as its a celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. without the blood offering to cover the sins of God's elect, there would be no salvation for anyone. we can not buy or win our way into heaven, that is up to God to decide. but what needed to happen was for sin to be covered and for that to happen, there had to be a sacrifice. we are not able to make that sacrifice, only a perfect man can do so. so Christ, who is God in the flesh, came and lived a sinless life and was bruised for our iniquities and bore the FULL unadulterated wrath of God, bled and died. the great thing about this is, death could NOT hold Christ down, it could not consume Him for eternity. He rose 3 days later and ascended back into heaven. He endured all the pain, the suffering and the total abandonment from the Father for me. what an amazing gift.
i sent a video to my church family back in california. i will post it here for you to watch. i hope it was a blessing for you as i hear its been a blessing for some others as well. the song i'm singing in this video is one that has spoken to me and brought me to tears more than any other song has! the Gospel. thats what this song is. hope you like it!
well - to finish this up, after lunch, we came home. we took a 2 hour nap and now that i'm up, i'm feeling a bit queasy and uneasy. so i think i will go to bed soon. i need to spend some time with my husband though. i love him and i cherish the times we have together. he's an amazing husband and will be a great dad one day. i love you, bud newman.
until next time, friends. i love you. live long and prosper!
