So what...

  Linking up with Shannon @ Life After "I" Dew   So what....

• That its so freakin nice outside and I'm inside just working away---- NOT it sucks.
• That my house is a wreck, seriously haven't touched anything in 3 days
• That we have eaten out 2 nights in a row
• That I miss C's snuggles so much with her out of my bed all the time now that I sneak into hers
• That I sometimes give fake names at Starbucks just to keep them on their toes buuut by the time my coffee is ready I have forgotten my name of the day
• That I am like a kid in a candy store now that its grilling season, yummy food and less dishes- score!

Not so wordless Wednesday...

  This weeks picture means so much to me! I found out a few weeks ago that my grandmother has lung cancer & goes in for surgery in 2 days. So last week a took a day off work so me and my mini could go spend some time with her. Watching her & C play, talk and sing I realized even more than normal how overly blessed I have been to have this amazing woman in my life, all of these years, teaching me what it meant to love unconditionally. When I was young I spent hours at her house playing and looking through her sticker collection ... she used to work at Hallmark so she has collected so much cool stuff over the years. Stuff that all of her grand kids wanted so a LONG time ago she decided to let us all write our name on little stickies and post them to the bottom so one day we would all get the things we have asked for. It broke my heart that she actually gave C the little things she liked.   The picture was them reading bible songs. When I was pregnant my grandmother used to sing Jesus Loves Me to my stomach every time she saw me, no matter where we were. I love that C now knows all of the words and sings it all of the time, it always makes me smile.  

Ten Things on Tuesday

I'm going to copy Nikki @ Wish Upon a Shooting Star

ten things on tuesday

1. People say the hardest "job" is being a mom but that came natural to me, being a wife on the other hand, that's some hard shit. Please Lord give me patience.
2. I am LOVING this weather, seriously can't get enough of it.
3. Helping coach C's soccer team is more fun than I thought it would be.
4. I really want a baby but keep putting it off for a "better" time.
5. When I was balancing my check book over the weekend, I realized how much I money I spend at Starbucks... OHemGee
6. C didn't get picked for the lotto to get into the local Charter School & it has now stressed me about her getting into kindergarten early. And the application I have to fill out is crazy.
7. I am trying to ease up on the caffeine a tad bit, as I drink my iced coffee ;)
8. I am super nervous for a Dr's apt I have tomorrow and another next week.
9. Currently my BIL is staying with us during the week and I love him to death but I'm over it!
10. I am happy to start blogging again, hopefully I can stick with & decide what I actually want to write about.

Happy Tuesday

Thankful

I'll keep it simple, today I'm thankful I woke up!

I'm thankful for my amazing husband kissing me on the forehead on his way out of the house, I'm thankful he works his ass off for his family.I'm thankful I had a little bit of time to snuggle my mini before getting up. Thankful we have water, heat, food, clothes! Thankful for the girls teachers who take care of them all day. Thankful I have a job to go to every morning & a home to go to every night.

To make this long ramble short- I'm thankful for everything we take for granted everyday.

Friday's Letters

 

Self,
Get your shit together! You have an amazing life with wonderful people in it, enjoy it & stop stressing so much. You are where your are supposed to be in life.

Work,
I am glad to have you but I still hate waking up to you everyday.

C,
I never knew I could love someone so much until you came along, I will forever be your biggest cheerleader.  You have taught me so much about life in 3 short years. Keep being you baby, you will conquer the world.

Hubby,
I love you gazillions & appreciate you, even though I know I don't always show it. I push you because I know you need it & wish you would stand up for yourself more. I can't wait to spend the next 100 years driving you CRAZY!

Weekend,
I beg you, please go slowly! For once I have no plans & really want to enjoy it.
