I am so pathetic at writing on this blog. I aim for at least 1/week, but as you can see that rarely happens, and what is even more pathetic is that I am on the computer every evening...guess sometimes I am waiting for the most exciting things to happen; not the everyday journal.
Tonight is the everyday.
I am a week late in scrapping a couple pages for the store. The theme giving was journal a day of your life. Mine is so boring. Starts with changing diapers, crying babies, laundry, etc... wish it was leaving on a trip to South America & a hundred other "FUN" things. Today in church the lesson was about just appreciating what we can do, not comparing ourselves to others we deem as "perfect". How each of us are able to do a multitude of things, but only as the stages of our lives permit. I so needed this lesson to remind me to "keep it real". My house is far from perfect, anyone who comes over has to excuse the clutter, toys, unclean floors (somedays you could find a full meal under my table), laundry half-folded.... But for now, most importantly my kids are happy and played with.
Forrest is teething... oh yes we are in TEETHING HELL!! He only had 2 little bottom teeth , but over the past week and probably into next week he'll have a mouthful, 3-4 on top & 2 more on the bottom. I guess we'd better just get this overwith ASAP, but he is hot and feverish, will not sleep (he has kept me up ALL NIGHT FOR A WEEK). truthfully the kid is screaming every couple hours. & he HATEs his bed so if he notices he's in it (after I've snuck and put him down), even if he is exhausted he'll stand up and WAIL. This wouldn't be too bad except his bed is at the foot of our bed so I can't just sleep thru it. Looking back Berkeley was such a great baby for sleeping. She loved to be in her bed, I could lay her in it awake and she'd play till she fell asleep; then play more when she woke up-- I could have left her in there content all day. Forrest completely different story.
I've been on the net trying to locate old friends. I think I am appreciating and regretting some of my choices. Appreciating the amazing people they are, the relationships we had, the joy they shared with me & just regretting that I've let 10yr lag by. WHY?? I heard from an old friend who lives in Australia--tracked his wife down on Facebook (love that site); have called a few friends to just say thanks, I luv ya. & If any of you are in Provo area and want photos done check out my friend Rich. Not only is he a fabulous photographer, he is super sweet and married a Canadian (so he is smart too :)) I just love his site. Great Job Richie!!!
I am still keeping my resolutions. Mine this year is simple. I just want to have "the BEST life". It's mine and I need to do whatever, change whatever I can so I am happy. I know in my mind the life I want-- I picture it everyday and it makes the journey there so much easier (think The Secret).
oops I can hear a SCREAMING. baby............ahhhhh better run. TTFN

I can relate about so many things, Mo...the baby that won't sleep, for one. Payton has always been a great sleeper and Gabby at almost 18 months still doesn't sleep thru the night. When she does, it's a treat.
And just remember that no one's life is "perfect"...what we are doing as stay-at-home-mama's may seem mundane and boring now, but the day will come when we yearn for these days and when we'll realise how UN-mundane they really are.
Luv ya.
