Never take yourself too seriously ....

.... that is what I'm always telling E. My firstborn is very dramatic and very literal. Makes for some touchy situations around here since she lives with some pretty sarcastic people. The slightest turn from the ordinary will send her to tears. When I try to laugh at a situation with her, she cries because "Everyone.is.laughing.at.me!!"

I don't know why I have that on my mind so much this morning. Maybe because I realize how much I am that way as well. I can laugh at almost anything now, but I wasn't always that way. I used to wear my feelings on my sleeve. I guess age (still in my thirties!!) causes us to chill out and laugh a little.

Either that, or we laugh to keep from crying - ha!

Besides, I'm too quirky to take seriously. I do the craziest things (some of you are saying 'Amen!')

Latest quirky thing ....

My girls love Conversation Hearts. We have already eaten a small bag and they were asking for more.

I came home with a new bag on Sunday. My girls were jumping up and down with excitement.

"What does mine say, Mommy?" "Oh, I can't wait to read mine!" (Don't really understand the fascination.)

Problem is, they are in Spanish.

No, I didn't mean to buy Conversation Hearts in Spanish. Cracks me up.

O eats a few every afternoon and asks me to read them ..... "Hola, Amiga!", "Mi Amor" and "Guapo" makes her laugh until she can't catch her breath.

E hasn't eaten one since Sunday.

They make them in SPANISH?!?! What in the world!!! Your comment about the McDonald's chipmunks cracked me up, too, because Connor is OBSESSED with them as well, but we only have two sa far. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO TALK?!?!? Oh, sweet mercy, they drive me crazy!! One day I thought I might have to hide Alvin if I heard "Hello...gorgeous!" one. more. time! :)

Hahahaha. Ofcourse you bought them in Spanish! Only you! I didn't even know they made them in Spanish. That's funny!

That is too funny!! Sounds like something I would have done. Now your girls can learn some Spanish while enjoying their conversation hearts. Love & blessings from NC!

Mi Amor,
Tu eres loca y soy loco. Me gusta cuando que tu diga. (I think this says..."My love, you're crazy, and I'm crazy. I like it when you do that. ) Or, it could say, "My love, I have no clue how to speak spanish, but you crack me up!!" Enrique (Eric)

That would be super fun with my Rosetta Stone study right now - esp if I only ate the ones I could read!
