Last week at Sunday School (should that be capitalized?) my 3 year old daughter was sitting at one of the tables coloring a picture. The new children’s minister guy (what is he called? I dunno.) walked in to the classroom to look around and see what the 3 year old class was up to. He walked over to Cindy-Lu’s table and knelt down next to her to see what she was coloring.

Cindy-Lu looked at him, and noticing his long wavy hair, leaned over to him and whispered “Are you Jesus?”

I KNOW! My heart just exploded into a tiny million pieces too.

Jesus? You up there?

This is my first week participating in Weekly Winners, hosted by Sarcastic Mom. Basically, Weekly Winners is a way to show off your favorite photos from the past week and also check out other’s favorites. Here goes!

Cindy-Lu’s first time bowling. The shoes were one of her favorite parts.

I love Eeyore’s profile, which is good, because he always turns the other way as I try to take his picture.

I don’t know what it is about this picture, but I LOVE it.

Here’s Eeyore at the park pouting a bit, because he isn’t ready to go home.

Now, I’m off to check out some of the other Weekly Winner’s photos. Wanna join me?

I am not actually addicted to the internet.

I was a little concerned when I opened up my old Dell laptop to check something and realized that I WAS CRYING because OH, IT JUST FELT SO RIGHT to hold my baby again. I MISSED using that laptop so much, and I hadn’t even realized it. I think I knew then that the NEW laptop I had ordered to replace my old one just wasn’t cutting it. We just weren’t meant to be. I’m shipping the new Dell back and I headed off to Circuit City and bought a Toshiba. My Toshiba and I aren’t soul mates like me and my first Dell were, but we are a better match than the other STUPID Dell.

Needless to say, when I realized how much a friggin’ computer meant to me, I became concerned that I had a little problem with the internet. Like, maybe it was time to join Internets Anonymous or something. I wondered briefly if IA had an online group that I could join and then decided that first I should test my level of addiction.

I took a HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC quiz and my score was 39, which means this: “You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.”

All is well with the world. Carry on with your day.

Dear Comcast,

When I call to tell you that my internet is down AGAIN and you tell me to restart my computer that is SLIGHTLY annoying. Especially considering the fact that I just told you that the ONLY TIME my internet stops working is AFTER RESTARTING MY COMPUTER. Also, when you ask me to open Internet Explorer, click on Tools and then Accounts, you are just going to have to FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE when I tell you that there is no Accounts option under Tools. Do not tell me to go to the start menu and look for some program called Microsoft Outlook Internet Explorer, because you see, Outlook and Explorer ARE TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. Tell me which one you want me to open and I will do it. I am not dumb, quit talking to me like I am.

Sincerely,

Karly

Dear Christian Homeschool E-Mail Group Members,

Most of you are great. I love this e-mail group because of the field trips, the play dates, and the other ideas that I hear about. But, it is SERIOUSLY FUCKING ANNOYING that I get daily e-mails about how to raise my daughter. And by RAISING MY DAUGHTER, I mean that you tell me to keep her home, teach her to sew, cook and clean, and not to send her to college because SHE NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED until marriage. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? What year is this? Seriously. This just PISSES ME OFF.

Also, when someone mentions to beware of ticks because they just found one on their child, please do not send out an email telling everyone NOT TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT TICKS and to just TRUST IN GOD. Again, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Should we also just go set ourselves on fire and TRUST that GOD will piss on us to put us out?

Sincerely,

Karly

Dear Cindy-Lu,

I realize that you are only 3 years old and also FEMALE. Obviously you are going to be a bit of a bitch on most days. I accept that. But, SO HELP ME GOD, if you start screaming and crying about your cousin taking away your favorite INVISIBLE PRETEND birthday presents, I will hurt you.

Hugs and Kisses,

Mommy

Dear Eeyore,

Thank you for being such a good kid. Thank you for always being patient and kind and helpful with your sister and with me. You really are the best little boy anyone could ever want and some days it is YOU that keeps me from going insane.
Love,

Mommy
