Men will be boys

As a woman, I recognize that I am the complete opposite of my male counterparts.  As girls, we loved and played with barbies, dolls, etc.  The older we got, however, barbies became less and less attractive.  As an adult, you are your own "My Size Barbie".  :)  Instead of dressing up a doll about 12 inches tall, you dress yourself up!

Men are different.

Example #1:  As boys, they play with Nintendo (did I just age myself?), trucks, etc.  As they get older, they seem like they've gotten over these toys, but they don't.  When shopping at Toys R Us for a present, Wyatt stopped to tell me "how cool" the boys toys were (We were in the 5 years + section.) and proceeded to stop to fuss and play with each toy he found to be "cool".  He's 29 years old.

Example #2:  Last Friday night, my sister and I went out with a girlfriend.  Because it was a girls night, we left our husbands at my apartment to keep each other company and fend for themselves.  When my sister and her husband, Louie came over, they walked through the door, 2 six-packs of beer in hand ("for variety purposes", justified by Louie).  My sister and I left for girls night.  As we approached midnight and headed home, I told my sister, "The boys must be passed out.  It's pretty late."  I could not have been farther off.  As we entered the apartment, we found this...


I LOVE HAVING MY CAMERA READILY AVAILABLE TO CAPTURE THESE KODAK MOMENTS!

Two men BOYS who spent the entire night playing video games, devoured a large pizza all on their own (and ate my sister's leftovers), drank 7 bottles of beer which they left on the kitchen counter, dirty dishes in the living room, and one TIRED kitty who spent all night watching them. 

I am so glad these two get along because if I was to spend every Friday night watching Wyatt play video games and drink beer, I'm not sure what I would do!

Men will be boys...right?

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...
