"He's never coming back."

You see, we have this daughter...

She is happy, sad, loving, anxious, sensitive, dramatic, charismatic, inquisitive, and witty-- all rolled into one.  Honestly, sometimes I feel like she feels all these motions at one time and if not at one time, every other minute is a new emotion.  It's crazy in our house, but we can say this much- we have yet to experience a boring day with this little Buggy.
 Bug and Tinkerbell- two peas in a pod.
We're not sure what Mom and Dad did to deserve such a tantrum after her bath.  Recently, we've had a ton of difficulty getting this kid into clothes.  I mean...we've always had this problem, but it's worse now.  Really!
 Ugh!  The covering of the eyes?  Really?!?!  Why at 8:30p.m.?  WHY?

Like I said- a new emotion expressed every other minute.  Truth.

Bug's imagination is out of control.  Remember that one time she told her teachers, the school directors, and classmates I was pregnant so the entire school was congratulating me when I came to pick her up?  Well, this morning, while dropping her off at school (something Dad usually does), one of Bug's teachers and I had a conversation that went something like this...

Teacher:  "Buggy's mommy, can I talk to you for a second?"
Me:  [Holding my breath.]  What did she do now?
Teacher:  "I was just making sure everything was okay because yesterday Bug told me that you took her to school and that she was sad because her dad left and is never coming back."
Me:  "WHAT?!?!?!"  [Deep breadth.]  "No, no, NO...everything is fine.  He just had to go into work early the last couple of days so I had to take her to school instead.  He picked her up yesterday."
Teacher:  "Oh, okay.  I was just making sure because she kept telling me and I started to worry that something happened."

WOW.  This girl is meant to be a fictional writer. Everyday is a new story.

1- I'm glad the teacher was concerned because if something was wrong, they would need to watch Bug's behavior.
2- I'm glad Bug has such a vivid imagination.  When telling my sister this story she responded with, "She's Kathleen reincarnated...except white."  Truth.

*Random:  Bug has been watching Lilo & Stitch.  There's a scene where Stitch first comes home with Lilo and pulls a picture of Lilo's family from under Lilo's pillow.  Lilo quickly snatches the picture back and says, "Don't ever touch this!"  Every so often, when McKayla's around, I'll hear Bug yelling, "McKayla!  Don't EVER touch this!  You hear me?  Don't EVER touch this!"  I've stopped showing her this movie. Haha.

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...
