Perspective. Part Two.

My last post got me thinking. Do you ever feel shocked about how much your life can change in such a short period of time? I had my mp3 player on while I was writing the last post and a song came on that made me laugh because Stu and I, in our own personal way of rebellion, play dirty or foul American Rock and Rap songs in our car while we drive around here. Devious, I know. We're hardcore like that. Heh.

But it made me think how much things have changed in the past few years. I mean, let's face it, a few years ago I was the obnoxious drunk chick in the bar picking fights with boys who pushed themselves too hard on me. (Seriously. Sad. I know) And now I am playing wifey and Mommy, living my 1950s life in a "developing" Muslim country.

Couple years ago...

And now...

Who the hell came up with that expression, btw. Really most of us who are using it are using it as a synonmy to "sucky"... what exactly constitutes "developing"? That was all painfully random, but just a few things going through the old noggin.

We got Marcia and Mimi's packages! Holy crap candy! lol. I don't know how we will EVER use all the Halloween candy they sent, but thank you so much for sending some American spirit! I had a meltdown in Spinney's the other day over a pumpkin. I'll save that post for when we get it carved though. Stay tuned.

They sent fun decorations too though. So Mo sent some towels and silverware (she sent Kaden some Halloween bowls too but they cracked on the way here. :( ) Marcia sent some pumpkin and "fall" decorating streamer things, a "Mummy" outfit for Kaden, glasses with a gross green nose attached to it, and Mimi sent a TON of candy and a card that sings that Kaden won't leave alone! Haha. So we're officially feeling like we're experiencing the Halloween-ness of Halloween. And we only had to celebrate it for 4 days, while I am sure the rest of you have been bombarded with it for the past two months! See? There are some good things about living away from it all.

I still think it is just SO weird that my son looks like me AND my husband. So here are two pictures that I think are basically the same, but where he looks like Mommy and then in the second one, like Daddy!

Enjoying the singing card!
