Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

My mom started Chemo and the prognosis is looking good!

My mom did her first post last night on her blog!!! She's doing much better lately and things are looking up. I'm excited to get together with my family this Christmas. Its amazing how trials bring us together and help us put aside differences. I'm so excited that she likes blogging. I'll have to warn her that its addictive.
Right now there is spilled taco soup on the floor in the kitchen because I left during family dinner for a girl's night, and ummmmm, its 8:30 in the morning. I'm adorning my bathrobe and definitely not wearing a bra. I have yesterday's mascara smeared part way down my cheek from crying while reading my mom's blog, and I have a TON of things to do today.

Jeff's still asleep (he has Fridays off) We stayed up until 1:00 watching "Stardust". I really enjoyed this movie. I don't recommend it for the whole family though especially little ones. Anyway, I better get off before everything I did yesterday gets undone and before he wakes up and sees me like this!

  1. The picture you painted of what you look like cracks me up! I look like that half the time I'm blogging too, complete with yesterday's mascara.

  2. Yeah, it's 9:46, and I'm still sitting here in yesterday's make up, hair totally crazy, and still no supportive device around "the girls". Isn't life grand?

    I will have to go and read your mom's post. I read your sister's updates yesterday, and I want you to know that your mom and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  4. No wonder that man loves you so! (For some reason I can't see the picture.) But, . . . I am imagining that every morning you get up really early so that your husband only sees you fully and beautifully dressed with perfect makeup? I know that can't be true. You are such a beautiful girl and I'm sure he'd love you even with mascara running down your face. You were crying over your mother and that's the sweetest thing ever, mascara or not. You'd still think he was the most amazing thing ever if his mascara was running when he was crying about his mom. . .okay, maybe not. At least not the mascara.
    Actually, I'm positive that he'd be trying to clean himself up before you saw him.
    Have a great day, sounds like you are seriously in the real world. That's the best place, for now. The gospel really does make everything better, though - doesn't it? I can't imagine living in the real world without it.

  6. I've been thinking about you, especially since the last post on your mom's blog. Take good care of yourself, and remember how much you are all loved.
