Cat has not been consistent with her overhand serves the last few games, so I made her go bk to underhand. We had two close games and I couldn't take the chance. She knows she has to get stronger to be a better server so EVERY day she does 60 push-ups. Real push-ups not so silly girl ones. Addie does about five with her. No one makes her. No one reminds her. She does it bc she's wants to get better. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how she pushes herself. My daughters are bad ass.
I took my girls to the dentist yesterday. They both are so excited to go to the dentist. They are so interested in everything going on. I would LOVE for one of them to be an oral surgeon and orthodontist. Low stress. Good pay. A mother can dream, coax, manipulate, brain wash if I must.
So after we got home, Cat wanted me to pull her tooth out. I've always wanted to do that. She was nervous. I yanked once not sure if it wld hurt her. You cld hear all the fleshy threads snapping. We both giggled. She said ok do it again. One more yank with a paper towel and it was OUT! We both were so excited. Laughing in amazement! I totally pulled cat's tooth out with my bare hands! Knew I shld of been a dentist. I'll leave that dream for my girls. "Paging Doctor Catalina. Paging Doctor Adalin. Your mom is on line one." “‘Dear God,’ she prayed, ‘let me be something every minute of every hour of my life.’”

There are moments that make you stop and absorb the beauty and joy before you. This amazing moment makes all the suffering worth it. Your place in the world is solidified. As your feet hit the ground, you realize you are alone in this place. There is no one who can appreciate or is able to understand what you have to share. The moment is gone and you are left feeling empty. All that is left to do is look forward to the next moment and convince yourself you are right.
binge watched the walking dead this summer. All five series. I felt empowered. I cld totally survive in a world like that. Love that show! Rick grimes is the perfect fictional character of my husband.
I felt high roller bidding $185 on our giftcard basket. It got to $275. Frank wanted me to bid $300 on a Yeti cooler filled with Yeti stuff. Last I saw it was a $375. No thank you. Remind me to keep him out of Vegas.
I'm sharing roommom duty for Cat's class with three nice ladies. Thank goodness bc this feels like a full time job. We have our fall fest tmrw. Pawfest. This was our 3rd grade Mrs. Wanke class basket. It's filled with over $500 worth of gift cards from around Helotes. I was out soliciting our cause last week. That's great fun for an introvert like myself. It was worth it. Glad it's done. Let the bidding begin!
