| Christi Family is a blog and local family resource for Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of the coastal bend.Created by a family of five, we blog about everything that matters to us. We invite you to read about our journey as we catalogue our thoughts about Family Matters, Fun Matters, Home Matters, Faith Matters, School Matters, and other things that Just Matter (at least to us). We’re exploring Corpus Christi and are providing you with what we find. Whether you’re looking for local resources, wanting to find local events geared just for families, or are wanting a quick reference guide on everything local, this might just be the place for you and yours. We’re filling our pages with resources for mom’s, kids, visitors, newbies, and families in general. As we continue our adventures in life, we’ll also continue our exploration of what we can do with this site and hopefully you'll benefit! Our focus is family, it’s that simple. You won’t find business meetings listed on our calendars, instead you’ll see calendars for families, toddlers, or just parents. It’s your choice! Join the fun! Let us know what you’d like to see or what you think we should explore! We’ll share our thoughts! |
Join the fun!

The other day, after being up 48 hours helping my sister paint her bedroom, my husband got up to take the kids to a dental appointment, which I was really glad for because that meant I could sleep in. The good husband that he is, he came over to kiss me goodbye and tell me they'll be back a little later. But, right before he left, he also managed to whisper in my ear, 'if you get a chance, mow the grass!'
And there you have it, the words that ruined my restful sleep! So, I figure I better get up and mow the grass, lovely! I got up, got dressed and tried to call my husband because I had a quick question regarding the lawn mower. Of course, he didn't answer the phone, so I stuck my phone in my pocket and went outside to check something. As I was headed back in the house to get a quick bite to eat before getting to work on the lawn mower, I realized I was locked out of the house and I had no way to get in. Just great!
Luckily I had my phone in my pocket and called the dentist and begged them to tell my husband to come home right after the dental appointments because I had gotten locked out! That must have been a hilarious phone call to take! I can only imagine the laughter they got from that phone call.
Anyway, making the best of a bad situation (I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was worried my sugar would drop, and I was hot), I grabbed my hat, that happened to be on the clothesline, and began mowing the grass. I managed to mow the front and most of the back before they got home. Afterwards, I ate a quick breakfast, took a shower and headed for pre-admission for pre-op. Not bad. I managed to get quite a bit done before 11 a.m. whether it was voluntary or not. So, remember, when you get locked out, make the most of it, and mow the grass!
