We spent the week at my parents house "babysitting" Clarah, who is 16. She can do everything except drive, so I got that honor. Despite what my mom says, Clarah you rock at driving and would pass for sure. I realize that I don't really update too much about me. So lets talk about me for minute. Well... I have been keeping busy putting together a book of all my school years. I have finished preschool through 5th and will need two 5inch binders to put it in (wow). It has been so fun to go through all my old memories, and my mom saved everyone. I threw away like 2.5 garbage bags full of stuff. I purposely did this project while she was out of town so she would not guilt trip me into keeping it all. A couple things I notice 1. I was not the artist I thought I was at 7 years old. 2. You could not try to spell as bad as I did (okay I still spell bad) 3. I lied about everything. I would put in my journal that my grandma died (lie) or that I only have 1 sibling (lie) or that I could play Mozart on the piano (lie) or that I practiced 1,532 minutes to win the practice contest (biggest lie). In fifth grade I realized this problem and said "the hardest thing for me to do is ... tell the truth" ( no kidding). I was a naughty little kid that is for sure. I have no idea how anyone put up with me, I wasn't even that cute. Half the time I dressed like a boy and had some mullet type hair cut. UGLY! But on the upside I turned out somewhat smart and respectable.
I have also started to train for a half marathon in December. I am more out of shape than I thought. I wish I could blame Scarlett for that but really I have just become lazy! I have to do this, so if you see me ask me how it is going. I need motivation because waking up at 5:45 is stinking hard. Seriously, pray for me or better yet train with me!
Last swim of season (probably)
(OMG she has the cutest bum)
I'll allow my kids to lie and dress like boys if it means they'll end up to be 1/2 as smart and respectable as you are! This post cracks me up!! he he, You rock, Jill!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Dani lol but I am the same way when I look through my stuff- what in the heck what I thinking/doing?!
ReplyDeleteLove the baby bum. I want to see all these lies! Good thing I'm visiting this weekend. I talked to Davis about Sunday Traffic and we decided to leave Sunday evening. That's almost two full days of me! You're so lucky! I am SOOO excited.
