- I promise I'm not neglecting the blog. [Ok, semi-lie. It's being neglected, but I'm not being a bum!] I am prepping like crazy for the grand opening of my new digital scrapbooking shop and it is at the c.u.t.e.s.t site. I can't wait to announce it! There will be a major sale, brand-spankin-new products and even some free goodies for you! So, mark your calendar for July 1st. <3
- Major changes are in the works for the Call family. We'll know just how major after a long walk either tonight or tomorrow, hearing back from a certain less-than-awesome professor, and perhaps an arm-wrestling match or two. ["Team Kristin" shirts would be much appreciated.]
- This is what my hometown currently looks like.
That fire's been roaring for days now, and as far as I know [and from the looks of things] it's still not under control. Pray for Flagstaff, AZ. My whole family lives there! [extended included...]
In other news, I got possibly the worst night sleep last night, ever. C has some funny sleeping quirks. So, before I launch into this, let's remember: "Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all." {G.K. Chesterton}
Here's what went down [via conversations with C and my sister, L]:
L: hi
Me: hey there. how did the Lilster sleep last night?
L: terrible. up from 11-1, up at 4 and 4:45, up at 6-6:30
Me: gross. sounds about like my night actually. C was freaking restless
L: perhaps he needs to be swaddled [L recently stumbled upon the glories of swaddling her little girl. longer naps have totally revolutionized the whole Mom thing for her.]
Me: haha maybe. I woke up at 4am because every ten seconds or so, he would whack his head down to his pillow twice. thunk thunk --------- 15 seconds ---------- thunk thunk
L: :)
Me: that went on for about 20-30 times before I punched him and told him to knock it off. he was completely out.
L: your very own personal thunderstorm.
Me: :)
L: might I suggest a king bed?
Me: we have a king. we are l.a.r.g.e
L: oh dear.
-----and in the words of C -----
Me: sweetheart, you were ridiculous last night!
C: why? I thought I slept really good!
Me: umm...you did. I don't even think you woke up when I punched you.
C: lol. I'm sorry honey.
Me: It's alright.
C: I don't even remember having a dream of any kind.
Me: Best sleep I had was from 7 to 8 after you'd already left.
C: hahaha. It's the ice cream, honey. You shouldn't eat any of it.
Me: ... I don't think so ...
So the latest I heard from my Firefighter friends, (on the hot shot crew... legit I promise.) We've burned 14,500 acres and because there haven't been any control burns up there there's a ton of pine needles just fueling the fire. Which could take 2-3 weeks to calm down. :(
ReplyDeletebut the Eagle Mountain fire is 90% contained.
and the Hardy Fire is 40% contained..
that lovely picture you have... is of the Schultz Fire.. 21% contained. And we're expecting 35mph winds tomorrow.
I got to make breakfast (pastries) for the volunteers and firefighters this morning.
Bless their Sweet Hearts. <3
probably more than you wanted... but still.
I love reading your blog. That being said, I feel like I'm totally behind! But I come back and I feel like I'm just a part of the K+C world. :) So thanks! We're definitely thinking of Flagstaff. I can't believe it. Sheesh. Hope everything goes okay with your wrestling match, whatever it may be. :) And try to get some more sleep. That story was pretty hilarious. Haha! Why are all guys really heavy sleepers??
ReplyDeleteI like you. It's funny how sleep is #1 on our list of conversation topics. It's key-whether you're 5 months or 25. Sleep well Cameron! Ditto to Lori-I hope your wrestling match goes well!
