The strike, getting ink, playing in the snow and some loose change

It seems this week, I may be a little short on cute little girl stories and quotes to end the weekly recap. It is not because they did nothing cute, it has more to do with we can’t remember any. There was something that Julia said in the car out on a road trip this week, and although we laughed at that time and both said “that’s in the blog” sitting here now, we are tapped and can not come up with it. I will try to have an extra one next week to even it up, so I owe you one.

Rules, movie night the home show and some laughing

I have used the line in class a couple of times over the last few weeks, and I laughed when Nathalie and I talked about the same topic tonight. What I said to the class, after the third or fourth time I told them to settle down and get ready to listen, I muttered something like “I am a bubble away from loosing it, so do you really want to be the group to set me off and take me to the dark side?”. It occurred to me after my conversation with Nathalie that we are all just about in the same place. She used the line, “it keeps me sane and insane” and I was like “can you be both sane and insane at the same time?” and then it hit me, of course you can! It is the ebb and flow of life that moves you from one side to another, and quite often, the only difference is a bubble.

A vote, a nickname, and some names from the past

  • by

Like many parents, we have cute little names we call the girls, and some just happened and some are modifications of other ones. One of the early ones for Jordyn was Moo-moo, then we shortened it to just Moom and she has allowed it for the most part, and is not a big fan of Jordie, Jordina or Jordina-Fina, some other we have used. Julia has been a B-G-B, Boolia, Buglia and Buggsy and is ok with just about anything we use to call her, but like anyone I guess would rather their actual name. Unless it is their full name, including the middle ones, like the one or two times this week (for both girls).
