The Breast of Humanity

just plain dumb

It amazes me how ignorant some people can be. Or perhaps ignorant isn't the correct word.. well, yeah it is.

Impasse

I am having troubles with something right now. We are told to pray with confidence and at the same time to come to God with humility. I am having great difficulties in not being too full of myself. I pray as if my prayers have already been answered, and I have great faith that if it is His will, they will be. But I am having lots of trouble with the humbling part. I am finding myself at an impasse. How can I be confident and humble all at once?

Guilt

I read a good quote today.

The update post: 3 1/2 and 1

So the little man does lots of things now, says lots of things now, and is becoming a pretty neat kid, when he isn't having a tantrum. Tantrums are a some what recent development, which is good that it took this long, but bad (for his behind). Since we have been telling him not to say "no" to us he is saying it much less, but now he has replaced it with a great big violent roar. So, now he gets spanked for roaring as well, unless he is playing with his dinosaurs when he does it because then it is just play and not back talking. He is still big on dinosaurs, trains and now has added Nemo to his list of favorites. He is getting very good at recognizing and pointing out opposites: dark and bright, full and empty, in and out, new and old, up and down, and up and out. The last one is how he describes sleep now. You are no longer night-night, you are out. And when you are not out, you are up. I suppose he gets that from when we ask him if he wants to get up. He connected out to being asleep just sometime last week. Whenever RC and I see if the lady is sleeping in the truck, we ask if she is out. So he connected that night-night and out are the same thing thus negating the neccesity to say a repetitve syllable and adding a new level of difficulty in understanding his language. He now says just about anything that possbly needs saying, as far as nouns are concerned. He has many "buh" and "bih" words that all sound relatively the same: bird, bug, ball, big, bump, bite, etc. He likes to point out what everyone is doing. Like the other day in Target. "Mama, poo-poo. Poo-poo, mama." Generally he also likes to add a sort of surprised or exasperated "uh" sound at the beginning of his phrases to denote his disdain or excitment over something: "Uh, baby, out." "Uh, bug bite." "Uh, fall, head bump." He only strings together two or three words for the most part, and doesn't use sentences at all. He does try out a new word every day. I should really start writing them down or something. He doesn't use his exasperated "uh" while pointing at something for you to figure out what it is he is talking about thing so much anymore. He knows many of the names of the food that we eat. Mainly pizza, chicken, fries and hot dog, since that is the majority of what we eat. The four major food groups, right? He will get out his own plate or bowl and utensil and name them as he gets them. He will tell you what he wants to eat, although he gets whatever we give him no matter what he demands. He will put his plate/bowl and utensil in the sink when he is finished eating. He goes to the bathroom without asking. He does all bathroom things on his own, with the exception being when he doesn't quite feel fresh enough, and then he will ask for a wipe. He builds towers with bocks and knocks them down. He drives cars on his sister's head. He likes to help me cook, in the rare events that I do. And when it is something like hot dogs, he likes to stand on the stool to offer his supervision and sometimes a comforting hug when the water appears to be getting hot. He is revealing such a sweet/devious nature. He will occasionally keep his head bowed now when we pray, instead of just standing there laughing. That is all I can think of right now. I'll continue this one later.

Random Y thoughts

The week before last one of my girlfriends who goes to the Y with me was on vacation at the happiest place on the planet. And because I wouldn't have anyone with me, since L was feeling under the weather, (and secretly because I wouldn't have anyone to know that I wasn't doing it) I didn't go to the Y at all that week. Last week, I went on Monday and Tuesday but from then on I had issues with my guts so I didn't want to go to the Y because I was feeling crummy. This week, so far, I skipped going yesterday because I had to call the doctor, and that would take all day, obviously. So I finally went back today, and I can tell I took much too long off. So I am really going to start conditioning myself again to go more often. I don't just want to go for a class either, I really want to learn the machines and find my "gym niche", figure out what works best for me and stick with some sort of plan. RC has a plan, but he took two or three weeks off from it as well, but for a much better reason than me. He ran out of asthma meds and so, you know, we didn't really want him to die while working out. But he is getting back on the metaphorical horse. I don't want being healthy and active to be a phase that we are just going through. I really want to be able to help the little man out when he needs a practice partner for ballroom dancing and when the little lady needs a dummy to whack with bamboo sticks for kendo. I am just giving examples, I am not planning their future, although it would be really neat to have either one of them on Dancing with the Stars. And now I have completely lost my train of thought. I meant to just go back to where Iwould have posted the little X man's one year check up info here in my blog but I read like five months worth of blog just because I couldn't seem to stop myself. I wanted to check it to compare it with the ladies' info. She had her one year check up today. She is twenty pounds and one ounce and twenty nine and a half inches long. Now why I did not post X man's info I have no idea. What a disappointment I am. I sheduled the appointment, unintentionally, leaving time for me to attend my second favorite yoga class. I was actually on time for it, for the first time. I think the main thing I like is Lisa's calm non-judging voice. It is so smooth and soothing. She also does a routine that flows very well, instead of one seventy two year old instructor that likes to do more talking that yoga. I am really thinking that Carolyn should be ousted and Sunny should replace her, and add a Zumba class in the morning before her yoga class too. That would be magnificent. She has already said that she didn't want to do a morning class though, so that plan wouldn't work. Sunny did sub for Carolyn one time when she was out though, and she did a great job. It was actually the first time I ever tried the Friday yoga class. Well, this has become a meaningless post about nothing.

POTC Spoilers read with caution

This past Sunday, after laying the kiddos down RC and I high tailed it to the theater and viewed Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. I don't know whether I am more disappointed in it not ending or in the death of Will. Being a ridiculously sappy romantic person I was very disappointed with the idea of not being able stay side by side for the next ten years. It seemed like a bit of a let down. And the kid. Hmm.. don't quite know what to say about that part yet. The whole thing with the movie not ending, I suppose I understand from a business perspective. Because If you give the people a taste of what the next one will be like then you draw more crowds right? And that means better profits. Blah blah blah. I am becoming somewhat more than disenchanted with the idea of POTC as a corporate entity. I must say though, in my eyes the best part of the whole movie was the "say it like a lover..." part. I melted, but then again RC can melt me with just a look. So I guess that makes me a huge dork.
