I passed

By
I passed my glucose exam. It has been awhile since I've had to fret about any tests (thank heavens) but luckily at an 88 (<140 is normal) I am normal!! I guess this time I'll appreciate some normalcy.

I am so tired; I don't stay awake past 10 PM much these days, but I'm sitting here making sure I don't need to kill a robber or pull a baby out of a fire while she sleeps perfectly (in every way I'd like to be). Man I would hate to pay a babysitter just to sit outside a dark room and blog all night (because that's all she can do not to fall asleep). That's why you need selfless friends like me, right Lori? Too humble?

Any way, they might come home to find me drooling on their carpet.  Mr Smith stayed with me for the majority of the time and got her really tired for me. Man I love men that know how to utilize that playful energy. I understand why they get to be the fun ones. We get to do everything else. Joys.

I attempted to start that first goal of mine (plan out dinners) but that sort of excitement won't keep me alive tonight. Mr Smith says no worries, I'll get $40 whether or not I plan. (i.e. I'll learn quickly)

Me: I need your help because I work too and don't want to do it all.
Mr Smith: But you're so much better at it
Me: *eyebrow raise*
Mr Smith: ...and you'll be cooking more than I ever will
Me: *glare*

Well, as long as he figures out the taxes. But then I'll think he did them wrong and will want to look over them any way. Just like he'll ask about how much this meal costs and wouldn't doing it this way be better etc...

    ha! On the way home when I was texting you about going to sleep on our couch I was saying to Scott how boring it really is to watch babies! You're with them for maybe 2 hours and then you're by yourself, in the dark, nothing to do, for 4 hours. So yes, thank you! And it is really lame paying for babysitters when they just watch movies or whatever.

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...

And so it begins, again

By
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...
