Mom's Here

Mom's here, and don't they just quickly clean everything up and immediately make everything better? No? Just mine?  Well, I do deem myself incredibly lucky to have one of those moms.  Her interactions with the baby make my day-all time with her seem incredibly uncreative.  They are always getting into something, but it's a great way to learn and take notes, maybe all the baby needs is a spatula to play for 20 minutes.
If you don't know my Mom, she the basis of Just Faux Fun Fridays. Start here and read on Fridays. Like here and here!

Sometimes I feel like I do this to her, even though I live 10 hours away.

The Move

We are in our new house, not posting pictures yet because it is nowhere near being filled with furniture, accessories, etc.  But here's the deal on the move.

• We planned for the movers to take the furniture apart... but they didn't bring any power tools.  Josh spent an hour taking the master bed frame apart and back together while they tried to figure out the crib, using our tools.
• We planned for 4 hours.. it too 6 and a half.  Vivian was TIRED. 
• We had a freshly painted house... then the movers came and knocked the walls to hell and back.  Still haven't called me back about fixing that. Good thing I have a handy husband and leftover paint.  
• We planned on using the front door to bring items in... then our neighbor threw her back out and the fire department and ambulance came and we had to move the truck for an hour. 
• We ordered 2 sofas from Pottery Barn in July... but one didn't fit up the stairs, they had to push it up over the second story deck. 

This is what I call Heindrichs luck.  More to come as we get settled.

This

This is how uncoordinated I feel sometimes when I slide down a stair, slip getting out of the shower, or drop food while trying to get it into my mouth-- Only I'm not this adorable doing it.  30 years old and I still trip on nothing in the middle of a crowd.

Thank you to my friend for sending this to me.  Made me laugh on a bad day!

Kids

Oh kids!  You are so cute! You're so little and have tiny shoes!  You say the funniest things!  My friend came over with her two precious little ones last week.  It was my birthday.  Her little girl, who is 3, and obviously very observant said, "Uh-oh, you have a boo-boo on your face. You need a bandaid."

How do you explain pimples to children?  Because that's what it was and all of a sudden I felt like that 14 year old awkward teen with "clear" braces and bad hair.

I can't wait to hear the funny things that will come out of this one's mouth once she starts talking. 

Some people...

Some people are gullible, or trustful.  In high school, a friend was convinced by some of the guys that Stop signs with a white border are optional. Bless, her, she's grown up and is one of the best people I know.

See the issue with this?

Some people are talented.  One of my best friends can not only sing, dance and act, but she is incredibly clever, always making up songs, poems and writing her own shows. I wish I had an ounce of her talent in some capacity.
Some people will change the world.  I think these people are few and far between.  I know one of these people and consider myself so incredibly lucky. I can't wait to see where he is in 20 years and what change he will bring.
Some people are famous.  I've always thought there was an aura about famous people, but the older I get the more I realize they are just normal people.

Then there's the bitch that sat near me on the plane back from Nashville.  We were traveling with the baby, which in and of itself is stressful.  Will she sleep through the flight? Will she cry? How will I keep her busy?  Is this going to mess up her nap?  What if she poops?
Well, this lady took one look at Vivian and me and said, "Shit" as she took her seat.  I am telling you I've never been so close to giving her a bitch slap. (I'm not sure what a 'bitch slap' is, but my Mama Bear sure came close to baring her teeth. No pun intended.)

What can we do about these people?  Is a confrontation necessary?  Was she just having a bad day?  Are all people really capable of being inherently good?  Thoughts?

The reason for this post?  It's late, I can't sleep, and I can't stop thinking about that woman being so negative!!  FYI... our Vivian was an angel.  She slept over half the flight and didn't make a peep.
