I am tired of writing about health issiues. So I thought I would write a funny blog about the funniest guy I know and that of course would be Eddie.
If you don't know Eddie he is this crazy energized little bunny on a caffeine high and with no filter of any kind. Yesterday while we are getting the kids ready for school, he was wearing a Batman mask and tried with all his might to sound like him while telling the kids to put their shoes on. (For the record when Eddie is home and "helps" it takes about twice as long.) After we finally succeeded at getting 4 of them out the door and I say a silent thank you to God that we got them out safely, Eddie loads up the kids in the car and then runs in the house like a 6 year old to show me this huge toad that he found in the yard! I scream like a child hoping that the poor thing doesn't get loose and give Icee something to chase. We finally make it in the car, and Eddie then cranks up Led Zeppelin or something as equally annoying at 7:30 and has the kids start doing some movement with their hand, and attempting to head bang...all I can think is I just fixed their hair. He then makes a comment about some guy on the road dressed oddly and of course the kids are repeating it. And that my friends is all within a half hour time span....I am tired, let me tell you.
Eddie writes skits for Church sometimes and he also leads Children's worship every now and then ...last week he even MC'd an event to help the junior high kids go to camp. Is this great that he does this? Yes...it also terrifies the heck out of me. Why? You may ask would your husband doing things to help at Church terrify you? Because they give the man a microphone! Remember he has NO filter! One of Eddie's favorite things to do is to see how far he can get with someone, concerning humor.
Eddie is always on, I can count on one hand the number of times that I have actually been in a situation with him not cracking jokes. I am not this huge LOL person, I think to him that means a challenge. I can not even count how many times he has sent me a text at the wrong time that has nearly made me pee my pants...examples, meetings, IEP's, ...you get the idea.
Just recently, I filled about an application to work for our Church this summer for a day program for low income kids. One of the questions was Are you in any counseling? I simply put "Yes, I live with Ed Holstein". That is all that needs said.
Now, on to the sappy part...you are welcome to skip if you would like. I can not imagine my life with any one else on this Earth, he is absolutely what I need in my life and that is not to take things too seriously. Because when serious stuff happens you need some one there to remind you that the world is not going to end, and that life is about living. I do think however life is NOT about bringing creepy toads in the house EVER again though.
So, on the Mother's Day weekend I would like to thank that insane man for choosing me to be his wife and the mother to his equally insane children. For getting down on one knee about 5 times a week to reenact the shoe scene from Cinderella with Melody, for getting ballet lessons from Emily (and looking like a girl...), for trying to show me in detail some crazy thing that Tobey did that I missed. I want to thank you for moving everything in your schedule to take Olivia to a dance, and being Edwin's coach, having the "talk" with Alison and last but not least...Lena being alive with her attitude, is testament to your love for these kids.
God knew the perfect guy to make for me....I love you.
