I Have Decided to Live

But it was close at times. I think that is the only time Justin and I have ever been that sick at the same time--definitely since we became parents. (I can't remember much before the kids. I swear pregnancy depleted the brain cells I used to use for memory.) My parents helped on Saturday, but they are pastors and so have to work on Sunday. And I didn't really feel right about asking friends, "Could you come over and pick up our potentially disease-carrying children so we can recuperate? We'll do the same for you in a week!"

Enough about that. Here's a picture of me holding a mask of myself which was drawn by Miss Pink. The photo is taken by Miss Pink, which I would say explains the darkness and blurriness, but in fact it is not much different from many pictures I take.


When I asked why my tongue is sticking out in the picture, Miss P told me it was because I was about to eat some chocolate.

It's so helpful to know what I look like when I get a chocolate craving. I bet I lose weight every time I look at this.

That kid knows her mama. For Mother's Day, her teacher interviewed the kids about their moms and this is what she said about me.

Favorite color: Green (correct!)
Favorite Food: Chocolate (no comment)
Favorite Flower: Any flower
Favorite store: Wal-Mart and Target (because we are always at one of those two)
Favorite Book: Any Grown-Up Book (she knows I read a lot of 'em)
"I love my mom because she's sweet."

I'll tell you who's sweet, and she's five years old and wears pink glasses.

Finally, I did go ahead and get a twitter page. I am hlinefracture, if you want to look me up. I may already be following YOU! Muahahaha!

Must go shower. See you later, alligators.
