and for all of my devoted blog fans...LMAO! sorry - i forgot to mention that yes, i am okay from the accident today. i am mostly freaked out about it and my leg hurts a little from where the car hit me - but nothing serious at all. hardly a bump or bruise. i'm very lucky! :)
ok so for the sake of blogging semi-regularly here is my blog today.
i got hit by a car today while walking in a parking lot. the guy just backed right into me and then drove away while i stood there yelling, "are you freaking kidding me?" did i get the plates? nope. but the police seemed to think they knew who it was by the description - which assures me that he was a real stand-up citizen...haha. anyway, after all of the VT tragedy this week...it is just some more icing on the cake to have this happen at our house. i am also well aware of the fact that no one actually reads my blogs (except kara and she has usually already heard the stories i put in here...lol! thanks for reading though kara - you rock!) so i am going to vent a little. shannon is having a hard time with the events that took place at his alma mater (sp?). of course i understand that...but i think he is wallowing a bit deeper than is healthy. i mean, hello...i got hit by a car and he hasn't even asked me more than, "are you ok?" not whether or not they found the guy, not to hear the run-down of events....nothing. maybe i'm being selfish...maybe i'm just exhausted. who knows. either way it is really bothering me.
i am still praying for the families involved with the terrible events on monday at VT (and will continue to do so). i can't imagine what they are going through and my heart goes out to them.
hopefully once this week and weekend are over i will get some scrapping time. i have most of my iep meeitings tomorrow and a few next week. woo hoo. i'm off to finish up some iep stuff and try to get some sleep.
Because if so, we could be rocking that show! Last night, on the way home from my aunt's house (we had Easter dinner a day early), Lily and I were just talking about Easter and our plans...and HILARIOUSNESS (is that a word?) was the result!
Me: Are you so excited about Easter tomorrow? Mommy can't wait to go to church...Easter is one of my favorite days in church!
Lily: Will the Easter Bunny be there?
*Please note, at this point I took a deep breath and panicked while I tried to think exactly how I was going to explain this to a 2 1/2 year old. This feeling is probably similar to the one my mom had when Lily asked her to tell her where Jesus works!!LOL!)
Me: No, the Easter Bunny won't be there. The Easter Bunny is kind of an extra thing on Easter. Easter is really about Jesus. A long, long time ago, Jesus died for us so that we could live happy lives. We go to church on Easter to celebrate the day He went to live in Heaven. (I thought that was pretty good?!?!)
Lily: (little pause) Oh....I think I see what you're saying! Jesus was died and it was a long time ago. And Jesus died to help us so the Easter Bunny came and helped Jesus get to Heaven.
Me: (trying not to laugh because she is SOOO serious) Well...kind of.
Lily: I think Jesus is locked in the barn with all the animals. We need to save him. It's our mission. (She watches Little Einsteins, so everything is our mission these days!)
I have no idea where the Jesus in the barn thing came from - maybe because she was playing with her Little People barn yesterday morning?? She is just sooooo funny!
Oh...my dad got a new truck and Lily is very excited to ride in it. When we pulled into their driveway last night, she looked at it and said, "Papa's new truck is just marvelous!" I started giggling and said, "Yes...it really is." She giggled and said, "Marvelous...hahaha...June on Yittle (Little) Einsteins says dat."
I am sorry, but who can say a little TV is bad for kids. She is in love with Little Einsteins, and as a result recognizes several classic music pieces, works of art, knows who Mozart is, and says things like "it's our mission" and "just marvelous" - maybe everyone should "go on a trip in our favorite rocketship" every now and then?
The other night while on the way home from my aunt's house:
Me: Lily, tomorrow we're going to a shower with Mimi! Are you excited to go to a party?
Lily: Yes, but I will need my purple party dress from Mimi's house. She found it for me and I will want it tomorrow. Will Papa be there?
Me: Well, we'll have to call her tomorrow and let her know that you want to wear it. Papa and Daddy aren't going to the party because it is a shower just for girls.
Lily: Mom, we can't have a party in our shower.
Me: No, Lily, the party is called a shower.
Lily: No, the shower is called a shower, and we can NOT have a party there.
TOO CUTE!!!
Two nights ago while we were all having a "sleep-over" in Lily's room (Lily in her bed, Shan and me on the air matress...lol!), Lily brought up something that had happened like 3 weeks ago.
Me: Wow...you have such a great memory, Lily!
Lily: You mean the one downstairs in the closet? (referring to the game Memory)
Me: Nooo...the memory in your head...in your brain.
Lily: What!? (in her own special, shocked and amazed way of saying it...lol)
Shannon: Yeah, the memory that you have in your brain.
Lily: Can I see it?
Me: No, you can't see it because it is inside your head.
Shannon: Behind your eyes...you can't ever see your brain.
Lily: Well, I have idea! How 'bout if we get a shovel and scoop it out and yook (look) at it...that would be nice.
There are so many more - I HAVE to get better about keeping track of them...she is just getting to be WAY too funny!
