Weak Flesh

By
Everyone is in bed before 8 PM. Including Dad. Apparently my potatoes and chicken dinner had mystic powers. Lexi fell asleep on dad soon after. Dallin worked on his exploration skills while I picked up their room and then after his final drink, he was pooped. It's always rewarding to lay your children down peacefully. I had a touch & go nap earlier, but it was good enough. For some reason my leg muscles were a little achey last night and this morning the tops of my legs are really tender. Trust me, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, but I became exhausted today too and just couldn't handle a toddler not napping and a bipolar baby sleeper. Mr Smith was at church later so I think I just got upset with Lexi and she ended up playing alone and handling it. I had to ask for forgiveness once I woke. I'm just not sure what's taking over my body yet. Man the flesh is weak.

My nose is on the mend. I had my follow-up and as I was slightly worried since I'm not the best patient, all looks well although still swollen. They sucked a ton of stuff out. Like it was crazy nasty yet exhilarating and I want my own sucker machine, but I'm pretty sure it sucked up from my throat even and I had a sore throat later that day so perhaps something is taking over. I felt like a new breather but was slowly stuffed back up by end of day. They said the swelling will slowly decrease and in about 2 weeks I will feel the reward of all this. Let's hope so.

And on another note, I found shoes that fit Dallin. I seriously felt so accomplished.

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...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

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 ...
