I enjoy the "This I Believe" segment on NPR. I heard this one from a six year old and thought that I had to share it on the blog. Listen

i'm carrying jackie chan

K guys. this kid likes to kick! I mean, mariah moved around A LOT. I always said she was dancing in there. And when she came out, she kept dancing and she still loves dancing. But i swear this kid is jackie chan because he is VIOLENT! A couple days ago, he hit me so hard, i thought Cody had accidentally hit me in the belly. How does someone so little hit so hard? Did any of you have kids who were violent in utero? Were they violent when they got out?


by the way, 100 days left on the countdown! it's getting close and i'm getting scared. i better get ready!

Stuck in the Snow

alright. I'm pretty sick of the snow. On our street, the plows pile up the snow right in front of our driveway. It's usually ok if I pull out at an angle an drop off from the landlord's driveway. But today, I was leaving for an appointment and there was a car blocking the angle. Dang. So i tried to see if i could just gun it through the mound of snow. NOPE. I was totally stuck. In the middle of the road. I had to call to reschedule my appointment and then i tried to figure out what to do. I called my mom to see if she had her truck. Nope. BUT, luckily, my brother in law Kaerlek, who has a land rover was over there so she sent him to help me. Meanwhile I looked for a shovel in the garage--there wasn't one-- and i watched three trucks drive right by. Then Kaerlek showed up with his little corolla and a shovel. HA! He dug out what he could but the car was still stuck. Then my neighbor showed up and the mail carrier stopped and they all tried to push. NOTHING. Then the guys building a house a few houses away came walking up with their shovels. Then they left and brought back their big truck and pulled that sucker right out. Then the guys stayed and helped Kaerlek dig up the ice. These guys were tough. Kaerlek worked for 2 1/2 hours to clear the ice all the way to the asphalt. Wow. So, even though i know they don't read this blog, thank you to my neighbor, the mail carrier, the construction guys. It's nice to know there are still people in the world who care about perfect strangers. And thank you to Kaerlek for spending so much time make sure we were taken care of. It's nice to know that there is someone that I already know who cares so much. I really do appreciate everyone coming together to help a little pregnant girl get her car out of the snow.
