My Life Is Average

Krista just got me into this kick (again. I can thank Bridian for the original), this kick being reading the website and saying "My life is average" after ridiculous things happen.

I really laugh out loud every time I read the website. Today, my son's friend came over, they are both 4 years old. I was trying to manage my 5 other children and holding my 2 month old son at once. I yelled out, "This is madness!" In unison, I heard"THIS. IS. SPARTA!" and the 4 year olds ran away. MLIA. My kind of humor. I love it.

So I wrote this whole post about the goofy things I've done/have happened to me in the last month or so, how I talk too much about just the fun things I do, how I tend to exaggerate...
I completely changed my mind. The true inspiration for this post came from a text I wasn't expecting from one of my friends from home, who's currently in New York, playing a harmonica while wandering the streets.

So what were you up to last night? I heard some rumors...

I was so excited to answer this text. I thought about the night before and realized, because of the great people I have in my life, how well the day before came to a close. So I started to tell him. But a question like that? You can't just give a straight answer.

Kite flying. Probably til almost midnight, it was a little scandalous...

I am proud to say that no part of that was a lie, or even a stretch. We did fly kites. We didn't even own the kites much before 10pm. It got scandalous- we had a little Mermaid kite and a Buzz Lightyear kite. What Disney doesn't tell you... We came home. And then after kite flying with two fantastic friends, I fell asleep talking to my best friend hours after that.

I'm still sitting on my bed in my pajamas, it's getting close to noon, but I haven't felt like I've wasted the morning- it started with a bowl of Marshmallow Mateys. In a Mickey Mouse mug, because the cup was cool, and I just didn't want to use a bowl.

My life is average.
