I took that picture yesterday while getting ready to leave Grammy's house. Callie was all filled up on pears and breast milk so she was a happy girl! How cute is she? That picture just brightened my day yesterday.
So we leave tonight and I am filled with excitement and nerves. Yesterday I was filled with total dread. Why? I had a voice lesson and every time I opened my mouth my teacher was like, "No". Yeah not a good lesson. I picked up Callie from her Grammy's and cried to my mother who gave me a pat on the back and said some nice motherly things and today I am feeling a bit better. Phew! (Yes I still cry about stupid things)
I think part of the problem has been the pollen. The weather has been most excellent here except for the hated pollen. Yesterday Callie and I made up this awesome anti-pollen song. "Pollen pollen everywhere, get out of my life, get out of my hair!" Seriously I think I've got it in my hair, up my nose, everywhere!!!! I feel like I'm living on a cloud these days and my singing voice sounds like an 85 year old woman who just stubbed her toe. I'm also all puffy eyed. ugh I hope Chicago is better.
I am a full time Mom to my darling 6 month old, Carolyn Jane, who we call Callie and a Super-Wife to my long-time-love, Badi. Really? A Super-Wife? ok maybe not, but I try. We live 5 minutes from the beach in Charleston, SC where the only thing hotter than the weather is the hot naked 400lb women at the beach wearing Confederate Flag string bikinis! Woo Hoo! Whoop it up girls! I am an aspiring opera singer/blogger/cook/piano and voice teacher. I nurse my baby in front of my students while speaking about things like "breath control" and proper hand placement on the piano. I greatly value my good health which if you don't know why you will surely find out in great detail on this blog someday. I love little blessings and try to count them daily to recognize all the beauty that surrounds me. Most of all I love my family and feel it a pleasure to serve them...wait isn't that from a hymn??
Just caught up on your posts. Callie is cute times a million. She and Maria would be great friends I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's so awesome that you're pursing your dream. Chicago is a great city. I lived there for 6 years, did you know that?
Go to the Logan Square ward and go hang out at Logan Square, it's super cute.
I hope you win. I REALLY hope you win.
That is one CUTE baby!
