Self-esteem


Send me 5 please

Aaron was recently trying to persuade me to let him take a picture of me in the "penguin pants" and I refused. Emily stood up in my defense by saying, "Mommy is NOT a penguin, she's just a fat, old lady!"

One morning putting on my makeup, Emily was being oh-so helpful and I mentioned how I wish I was as beautiful as her. She looked me right in the eye and said, "Oh Mom, you are beautiful - you have makeup!"

Aaron had tired of throwing Emily up in the air when she asked me to do it. I told her I didn't have muscles like Aaron and with a disappointed look on her face she said, "Oh I forgot, you're fat."

Unfortunately I have to laugh at her because I'm afraid she gets her lack of tact from me, not to mention kids this age are pretty honest.

She is HILARIOUS. But don't feel bad. Abby asked me the other day why I was sad. I wasn't, i just didn't have make up on. Then a few days later she walked in my room while I was putting on my make up and said, "Oh, you wear make up so you DON'T look sad?" I'm turning 30 this year, and it shows! So, what ever happened to our family night? I totally spaced it. This Monday is our anniversary, but we should plan another night! Or, we could go bowling or to a museum or something.

Oh my gosh, Anica. Your stories about little Emily seriously make me laugh so hard. She's going to be such a cute big sister. It was good to see you on Sunday. You look great! I mean it! You're such a cutie, even when you're prego!

Anica, I can't wait until I can hear how fat I am from Johnny. I bet she wouldn't think you were so fat is you always wore a snuggie. Just a thought.

Christmas in Germany

Christmas 2016 Bernkastel-Kues Christmas morning Our Christmas was a little different this year, or I guess a lot different because of being in a different country and far away from the family and friends we love. We celebrated about a week and a half early because Emily went to spend Christmas with her other family and Aaron had to work on Christmas. Emily left the day after the girls' last day of school, so when they came home from school we opened presents from each other and then by popular vote spent the rest of the night eating pizza and bowling at the bowling alley on base. The next day we woke up early to deliver Em to the airport. We were able to hit a couple of Christmas Markets in the beginning weeks of December with her and then we did a couple after she left. We thought it was kind of fun how each Christmas Market has their own mug that you can collect, so the collecting motivated Aaron a little more to hit multiple markets rather than to just stay ho...

6 Week Flu

SYMPTONS: FREQUENT VOMITING, EXCESSIVE FATIGUE, NAUSEA, LACK OF MOTIVATION SIDE EFFECTS: HOUSE TURNS INTO A PIG PEN, FAMILY MEMBERS WEAR DIRTY UNDERWEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY ARE ACCUSED OF HAVING EATING DISORDERS FROM MALNUTRITION, YOUR BED & COUCH HAVE A PERMANENT INDENT, AND THE CARPET FROM HERE TO THE BATHROOM HAVE A WELL WORN PATH, PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH My friend recently told me there's a chance she "might" be pregnant. When I asked what might meant, she told me it could just be the flu. I laughed at her until I started experiencing the same symptoms. Even after a positive pregnancy test I worried that it might be all in my head. Thank heavens for a trip to the doctor, he confirmed that: WE ARE HAVING BABY NUMBER 2 !!!!!! I apologize to any of you who have asked recently when we are having more kids or why I am sick, and I didn't give you a straight answer . . . well now you know!
