AndThenThey - Harriet Hattie AndThenThey - Hattie and a Sweet Potato AndThenThey - FrozenAndThenThey - Birdhouse

AndThenThey - Crafting for NovruzAndThenThey - Running in the Rain AndThenThey - Rain Reflections AndThenThey - A the GymAndThenThey - SamaniFriday the 28th- Calm.  Both Jesse and I were able to keep our calm when Alma smashed her face into our bed and blood was pouring our of her mouth.  I think a tooth went through her lip, but the bleeding stopped pretty quickly, so we just gave her some ice and watched it.  Scary to see our baby’s blood outside her body.  So grateful that we didn’t freak out, and that we kept her from mirrors, so she didn’t freak out.

Saturday the 1st – Frozen.  Again.  We took Alma to her first movie and she loved it.  I really hope she acquires my love for musicals.

Sunday the 2nd – Oscars.

Monday the 3rd – Dr.Bradshaw.  We really have the best pediatrician in the world.  She has been a hero of mine since my 19th birthday.  We had Harriet’s 6 month check-up, and as always, Dr. Bradshaw was a breath of fresh air.  I’m not sure she knows just how much she means to me, but that’s okay.

Tuesday the 4th – Toddlers. I love watching Alma interact with her friends.  She is learning so much, making so many mistakes, doing so many strange things.  I’m glad to see her with other odd little ducks.

Wednesday the 5th – Ashes. We didn’t actually make it to an Ash Wednesday service, but I was glad to know it was happening.  And the season of Lent always feels sort of magical.

Thursday the 6th – Gymnastics. We met a couple sweet friends for the open-gym time at a local gym.  These kids are so much fun, and so able!

On My Mind

Posted by andthenthey on March 6, 2014 1 Comment

Two things are on my mind right now.  Let me share.

1.  Idina Menzel (yes, Travolta, that is her name) is in danger of forever being type-cast.  Here’s my evidence.  She played:

  • a woman with a special power
  • the power is feared by others
  • she tried to control the power
  • the power got out of hand
  • the woman belts out a power ballad that shows how she’s going to move on, and embrace her power
  • the woman went to the mountains to live an isolated life
  • the woman had a sister, whom she loved
  • she hurt her sister, while trying to help her
  • people hunted her

Now I ask, is that Elphaba or Elsa?  It’s totally either, or both, right?!

I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this.

And, hey, if you’re the best at doing something, stick to it!  And Idina is the best at belting, so keep it up, lady!

2.  I know it is completely ridiculous, but when my children sleep later than normal, I totally flip out.  Why can’t I just enjoy the extra sleep without instantly assuming they are dead or something is terribly wrong?  I guess that’s what motherhood is.

If God said, ‘Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,’ there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to. -Rumi
