and all i wanted was the simple things, a simple kind of life...

Current mood: contemplative Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping
Okay, so I admit I really do think my kids are gorgeous, darling creatures....but I never expected them to be asked to seriously model!!
Last Saturday, March 18, they modeled in a fashion show for Chocolate Soup at the Agricenter Memphis Baby Expo. It was the kind of thing where you heard by word-of-mouth, called, had a fitting and your kids got to model! Of course, there were photographers and things there who had booths and were looking for kids, right? Well we went around a corner after the show and visited a booth to get a free photo sitting because our children were models that day. Lo and behold, there's a John Robert Powers scout sitting three booths down who sees my kids. She then encouraged us to sign a thingy to win something...who knows what! Anyhow so she talks to Trip and Genna-Clair for 5-10 minutes and is asking me if they've ever done any other modeling...they've been in pageants and they just finished doing the fashion show, i said.
Well Wednesday I got a call from them asking Trip to come in and do a prescreening audition. So we went, last night, and Trip did his thing...as we're leaving, the lady we spoke to at the expo recognizes Genna-Clair and asks us to come in b/c I was (according to this lady) supposed to have her there for that reason, anyway. She informed me that she wants Gen to do modeling and she needs to do a photo shoot. yeah, okay....
Today we got a call-back for Trip and they said they want him to do modeling and that if they could they would love to find opportunities for them to work together. So we would be doing a photo shoot together...which is much less expensive than doing them separately. Now, I am nervous and don't know what to do....Oh, and the exec. director there said she wants to present them to her agency, Willamina.......
And so I stopped writing this blog and began to pray and my wonderful-beyond-words father-in-love (heehee) sent me an email with this link:

So after my lengthy blog and all, it appears we aren't going to do it after all. (Thank you God, thank you Dad)
And I'm sure my kids are so cute and worthy of modeling but we'll stick to the local stuff till someone's ready to foot the bill on our behalf. If they want 'em that bad, they'll pay for the talent. :0)

Reviving the Writer

... Deciding to revive a once-lost memory is intimidating. The will to bare your thoughts, sometimes unedited, for public viewing, conjures images of hiding behind my mother's dress at church -just to get a good peek at things before edging into view.  If only writing gave us at least that safety net.  A conversation with a friend inspired this post, a decade after shutting down and retreating to small blurbs on social media.  I asked why she hasn't 'written that book.' You know, when judging others, you're just asking to be judged yourself--and our toughest judge typically is our own inner voice. Henceforth, I have determined that on this day, in order to practice what I speak, in absolute protest against my tendency to imposter syndrome, I'll be writing again.  It isn't that I stopped communicating but I stopped sharing my thoughts so openly.  I'll update the happenings of the past decade and plan a fresh look to this space.  Everchanging, Kristen

My poor kitten! (totally gross)

Current mood: rushed Category: Pets and Animals My kitten, Ziggy Stardust, is sick. :( Well, I guess not really sick, but I put him outside the beginning of this week and he has been doing great!! He's been neutered and dewormed already and he's only like 10 weeks old I think. He was born Feb. 17 so you do the math. Anyway, I went out to feed him and play with him a bit and I found a hard spot on his side, near the end of his rib cage. So I thought he had a tick and it had gotten swollen and stuff. So I went to try and remove the tick and all this yucky green stuff started oozing out of him! Eeww!!!! My immediate thought was that he has an abcess. So I called the vet and the receptionist told me it was probably some type of worm--now I'm freaking out--so I asked if I could speak directly to the veterinarian and SHE told me I was right, that its an abcess, and that I should bring him in after lunch to have it lanced (double eewwww!!) and to give him some antibiotics. Great...

Wow, I am a nut!! (more t-ball!!)

Current mood: amused Okay! Well, despite the fact that my last kid didnt leave until 5:30, we happened to make it to the field in time to get Trip's uniform, get him dressed, and ready to warm up just in time! Fortunately, being that it was the first games and that it was 3 and 4 year old t-ball, the games were behind by about 15 minutes. :) And I say I'm a nut, because I didn't realize at the time I was posting my blog just how much information I was giving out. YIKES!! I'm gonna go edit that right away. I gave the time, location, field, and my son's name and team name all in one paragraph!! And posted it in a public blog!! So yeah, I'm a nut. I apparently haven;t been thinking very clearly. haha. Well, the game was great!! Trip played at about a short-stop position and ran across the whole field every time the ball was hit. It was great. He also found it neccessary to throw his glove off in order to make it to the ball faster. I found it quite amusing. I...
