I just needed to write that joke down before I forgot it.

Mothers day recap: it happened. As I've said 100 times before I'm not a huge fan of the day. I got some beautiful flowers from Dan's folks in a really awesome vase. Dan got up w/ the kids and made breakfast and we did not go to church. Later in the day we went to mom's house where we had steaks on the grill in honor of dad's birthday and mother's day. We hadn't seen Ellis, Megan and the girls since Christmas so that was nice. If we'd had this dinner a week before there would have been PMS involved and feelings might have been hurt during the visit, other than mine. Instead I left feeling a bit funky, but everyone else was fine. Before dinner my little niece, Anna, came up to me and in her little jokey-smurf sounding voice said "aunt krys, you're WEIRD. you have FIVE kids". I responded to her by saying "you're weird...you have no teeth!" But of course, I started thinking about how little babies don't just randomly think that a family with lots of kids is "weird". I've said before that my brother is perfect and I guess that's a good thing to be. I'll stick with "weird". It sort of makes me ok with not seeing my family except on holidays. I feel stung, but not shocked.

It's a mess out. Stay dry.

i'll take weird over perfect any day. except in a beer. but beer and people are 2 very different things. although, sometimes i need a lot of beer to be able to stand some people. so there you go.

Perfect is too hard. Weird is better. I am weird but different weird than Dan. Your weird is more fun than mine. I think. Everything looks better after beer can you toss me one?
