Curiosity Killed the Kat

I'm married to the most curious man.  If you've spent time with him, I  know you've noticed him falling behind a group walking, or disappearing completely because he's gotten distracted by some object that other people wouldn't even give two seconds to examine.  I'm sure he was born like this...curious.


The look in his eyes alone tell me he's up to something...


Most days, this just kills (or bugs) me because I run at a hundred miles an hour and have little to no time to stop and "smell the roses", as they say.  If you're not right in front of me or flagging me down (person or object), I won't see you and even if I do see you, you'll catch my attention for just one second and quickly get run over.  (WATCH OUT!)

Wyatt and I are the complete opposite and I definitely welcome this difference to balance out our relationship. I realize that Wyatt is probably the most easy going guy I've ever met and notice that when he gets distracted by the small things, it's because he appreciates it's value.  For example, on our way back home from a weekend vacation with my family, we stopped at Battery Ridge on the Golden Gate Bridge to take some pictures.  We climbed to the top to take pictures and on our way down, lost sight of Wyatt.  Just like that!  In one quick second, he disappeared.  I yelled to my family who were walking ahead of me, "Hey, did anyone see Wyatt?  We lost him again."  My sister quickly responded with, "It's fine, he'll show up sometime."  They know him too well.  A few minutes later, I heard the sound of feet running down the hill. TA-DA!  Wyatt reappeared and didn't waste a moment before he began telling me all the historical facts about Battery Ridge, what it was for and how old the buildings were.  He couldn't help, but disappear, so he could take in all that history.

In the four years we've been together, I've grown accustomed to playing the "Hey, where's Wyatt?" game.  Even a trip to the mall can become like a scavenger hunt for a missing husband.  I know not to fear Wyatt not being in sight because he usually ends up reappearing, never empty-handed, but with a mind full of facts to share. :)  He cannot help that he's so curious, but this must be what makes him so intelligent.  Even though most times Wyatt's curiosity seems like it's killing me, I've accepted and even learned to love this about him too.

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
