Ouchie

Okay- I can't move very well today without pain. I have to go to the gym orientation today in about an hour and if they expect me to do anything they will have another thing coming. They can't make me.....Anyway- update on the girls- Annelise is thriving in her new class. She has a little crush on a boy named Hunter- who was in her class last year. We tease her about it incessantly and she turns red and yells "Just Hush!!" Hunter is one of 2 boys who have a crush on her. The other is Christopher, who was also in her class last year and is also cute as a button. She is still the biggest and tallest one in her class. She looks like Atilla the Hun sitting at her desk. Emmaline is loving school. She has not cried once or clung to my leg at all this year. (Last year that was a daily thing.) She is so funny. She sounds like a 30-year old sometimes when she talks. We still have to make her eat and I think she could live off air and juice sometimes. She always claims that her "tummy hurts", but then it magically stops when it is time for dessert or snacks. The girls recent obsession is whether or not I have "kissed Daddy" today. They ask almost every day if I have kissed him and if I say yes, they look at each other and grin and go "Oooooooo! That's disgusting!" They ask us a lot if we love each other and I ask them what they think and they say "Yes- because you are married." I tell them that we do love each other and that it is not because we are married. They are going through that stage where each accuses the other of "being in love" with someone, and they both deny it with all of their powers. Annelise even sings that song "Emmaline and Janko sitting in a tree, K-I-S-T-Y-N-G" (Janko is Emmaline's crush from last year and she apparantly still fancies him even though they are not in the same class.) Emmaline just gets infuriated when Annelise sings that. It is so funny to watch them irritate each other and scream "Gross!" if me and Brian kiss in front of them. In about 12 years, we are going to be wishing they were still so innocent and the crushes were still so mild. We will yearn for the days when they thought kissing was gross. I have already decided that Brian will just not be informed when they have a date because he may likely follow them with the poor boy in the scope of his Glock the whole time. He has already stated that when their dates come to pick them up, he will just happen to be cleaning his guns in the living room so the boy can see all of them. It will be interesting to see what that will be like. If Brian's hair isn't completely grey by then, it will be soon after!!
