June-December 2009 -- According to me

I should have written my Christmas letter this way. Somehow it says so much:

Rebekah

* wants to eat pie and drink Coke.
* can dodge a wrench, so she must be able to dodge a ball.
* enjoyed a very productive day. LOVE this weather.
* is once again enjoying a cold breakfast, which would be fine were it Raisin Bran. Eggs not so much.
* is pretty sure Addie wishes Meggie loves her just a little bit less.
* simply cannot stand Chutes & Ladders.
* has a mouse in her house. Again. So begins winter.
* could stand to be back on a routine.
* just thought Addison was choking. Turns out it was Ellie spitting. In my living room. Who needs a son?
* is very proud of her husband.
* can't wait for Addie to smile and quit looking quite so bored with me.
* needs to get the house cleaned up. Again. Happens every day.
* would like some abs to replace the jello middle.
* and Ellie feel like they're fallin' for fall.
* is one happy mama . . .
* is feeling run over--physically and emotionally.
* wishes some things lasted forever . . . like Pull 'N' Peel licorice.
* is trying to explain the difference between football and baseball to a four year old who is cheering for the Tigers while watching the Jets.
* just put in the order for my new dishwasher. WOO-HOO!
* feels a bit like summer came at an annoying time.
* just found out that I can also play fantasy COLLEGE football. That's probably a bit more than I need.
* just got tutored by Ellie in how you properly drink in Spanish. Um.
* is off to clean toilet paper out of the bathtub . . . too bad Meggie can reach the roll from her bath.
* has a friend having a baby right now.
* is the wife of the newest Foremost employee . . . pending the drug test, I suppose.
* finally finished cleaning her room . . . only four weeks after she started.
* just overheard Ellie telling Moose A. Moose, "No, we didn't see any of those at the zoo, but we did see X-rays."
* does not have to buy new baby clothes and is accepting donations for the weddings fund.
* thinks it probably doesn't matter if it is Christian rap. It's still a bit loud, neighbor boy.
* finds it comical that Meggie has taken to toting a bag of potatoes around the house.
* is not sure how to react to the fact that Megan earned her "crying badge" but is pretty sure Ellie shouldn't reinforce her whining by presenting her with a necklace.
* always worries about the children . . . even a wacky (though talented) dad is better than being fought over for money.
* is listening to Ellie tell Josh that he can't go upstairs without an adult, a princess, or a king.
