Dear Parents

By
I thought about something today. I think you should change to Progressive so you can get the brake monitor too. I learn from the best. 

Love, 
Your daughter

I didn't get any points this evening. Too bad I got 5 on the way to work this morning. Too bad I woke up at 8:27 AM, which is when I typically leave. Good thing I have a husband that rolls over and rubs my arm. Too bad I checked the clock and go into a panic. Too bad I took the last of the toilet paper. Too bad I didn't tell Eric (not on purpose). Good thing I still made it to work 5 minutes early. Good thing I have clothes on and didn't forget my sanity. Oh wait. I was in a stick-up-my-butt mood ALL FREAKIN DAY. So here's to no patience! My friend, lets settle in with spagetti for dinner. Because it looks like our budget doesn't allow for much else. Hey ohh!
What a good life. 

Oh, and thanks to the Westers {who got us a butt load of chocolates and a movie for two} I also ate candy for dinner!  I was also surprised by two packages at the door. Not one but two! Disregarding one my work got me, a note was attached to the second gift along with a gift card: 

From: Mom
To: (We won't call anyone out)
Happy Birthday!

Regifting? Dementia coming early? We'll take it!

    Awww, a husband that helps you wake up...how cute!! "Husband", can you believe that word applies to you now?! Husband, husband yay!! Oh, and I ALWAYS take the last of the toilet paper...even worse now that I pee every two seconds. Lol! My HUSBAND makes fun of me all the time.

To Live is to Change

By
I love change. I love variety. I love mixing things up just because I can. It's helpful, but it's kind of a double edged sword.  I'm terrible at consistency, even though Clifton Strengthfinder told me that was my #5 strength (I think they meant something closer to wanting things fair & equitable which isn't wrong). I not only move furniture in & out of my life, or make sure we don't eat the same thing too often... but I love that I can give my kids a flexible education. God knew this is something I would love & has allowed for it even when it comes with significant sacrifices (as many good things do). This has been a beautiful way to grow me over the last 4 years, and I definitely missed it, but I also started to doubt ever doing it again, which felt odd. I found myself questioning why I wanted to take the harder course. I had a little break with just E & M at home, but now B is back too, so I'm giving up some me time (I was never good at it any ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...
