#fridaynightsmarriedliferocks

I want Mr Smith to make me french toast for breakfast because I am soooo lazy. I think he fears making french toast though because he always makes me do it. Waffles in the waffle maker? That's his world.

This is also his world (#fridaynightsmarriedliferocks):

I swear our apartment isn't that cold (and it's not because I have an extra layer of flubber these days - okay maybe it is) but it's definitely cold outside. We don't get nice little snow flurries - we get ice pellets. Which means people don't go more than 20 miles an hour on the road (even if it's a perfectly ok road to go 35+ on) so that means Kayla doesn't go on the road. Anxiety attack just waiting to happen.

(this is from the first snow a few weeks ago

- and horizontal stripes that make me look slimming)

My managers were sweet and let the pregnant lady go home before anyone else because they were concerned about falls in the parking lot or car accidents. I don't normally like special treatment, but you know, I guess I shouldn't whine there. I have the "I lived in UT" attitude sometimes, but even I know when to walk like a turtle.

I'm glad baby girl will be born when it's warm outside. Everyone will be happy around that time.

Speaking of happy . . . look what came in the mail from Mrs Erin!! ~~We're~~ I am in love. 15 different colors & the perfect size!

BOGO toys and pacifier gifts.

Wishing I had a real baby

Already filling up the diaper bag - am I crazy!?

A trunk full of stuffed animals (mostly due to my cherished childhood)

Hmm what doesn't belong? Mr Smith's unfinished workbench.

but look at her closet of food storage . . .

To Live is to Change

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 ...

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together. Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children. 2018-2022 were ver...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
