Rambling...

There was a flock of wild turkeys in my front yard today. A flock! I didn't even know turkey's flocked, but apparently they do. I've only ever seen a group of maybe 3 or 4 turkeys together and they are usually clumsily jogging along the side of the road. There were at least a dozen turkeys in this flock. Most of them "flew" away, but the two tallest ones jogged it out and darted around the neighbor's house when they saw my car coming. Have you ever seen a turkey fly? It's hilarious. It's like watching a fat kid try to do a chin-up. I could watch turkeys fly all day long.

So, I have two reoccurring happy thoughts this week that I want to share. The first is that 'Eat, Pray, Love' is now a movie. I adored the book! Seeing that it was going to be a movie was like being handed hot krispie kreme donut. Then, I realized that Julia Roberts is in it. That was like being handed an entire box of hot krispy kremes. Giddiness.

My second thought is about how unbelievably cute Kevin Costner is for creating his own oil/water separator that he hoped to use in the event of an emergency like this latest BP crisis. Precious dude! He spent 24 million of his own dollars and has been working on this boat machine for the last 15 years. He said that his dreams came true when they allowed him to help with cleaning up the spill. Angel.

Callie and Wyatt have been on this kindergarten kick lately. They want to go now and are making me drive them by the school everyday as they ask me questions about what kindergarten entails. Wyatt needed to know if there was a potty and if he could "do rock and roll!". Callie wanted to make sure that she and Wyatt would stay together and that she could share his markers.

Anyway, talking about the school stuff gave me a quick preview of empty nest syndrome. I won't have any lingering reassurance from a younger baby at home that still needs a momma. It's cold turkey for me and that's going to be hard. I told them that I am going to cry when they go because I'll miss them so much. Callie told me that she would "surprise me a picture from kindergarten so you not hafta be sad anymore!" Awww. I need to get knocked up again, but with the exact same babies. They both need to chill on the growing up thing. I can't deal.

Callie's favorite book is called 'Pinkalicious' where this girl eats too many pink cupcakes and everything turns pink. The sun was shining down from the window in the foyer and reflecting off her pink bean bag into the closet. She was so excited because she said that the closet was pinkalicious. She asked me to get the camera and take her picture.
