Funny Things

There are some things my kids say or do that are so cute to me that I never want to correct them...like the word pupcake instead of cupcakes.

Sharing the Bed with the 1 Year Old...Not Worth It

I am never able to think clearly in the middle of the night. Ewan wakes up at 3 am, my muddled mind says "Bring him to bed with you...he will sleep and you can cuddle with him." It never works like that. Why does my mind deceive me like that?...so I can get less sleep? Or, maybe I am still dreaming. I would love to snuggle for a bit, then have the sleep fairies put him back to bed...but that would still be dreaming. In all reality, I need my mind to be reasonable and know that, yes, I might be up for 20 minutes but 20 minutes is much better than 3-4 more hours of very restless sleep. Please mind....be reasonable.

Worth It

I have decided I really need to do things that will be worth it....not just for the moment, but for the long run. I do a lot of things that really don't mean a lot. The purpose of this blog for me, is to take a look at my life and change it. Change it for the better. Make better use of my time. Make every moment count.

I love my family. I want to be the best Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Aunt that I can be and I know that I will be able to do that if I can utilize my time wisely. That sounds really corny...anyway. I think by recording my daily life and my interactions I will be able to step out of the box....I hope.

So many things have been happening lately that have already altered my life and made me appreciate it more. My dear friend Karen Turner died in a car accident last month. She is Kaitlyn's (our foster daughter) mother. Life can change so quickly.

Last week our beautiful neice passed away after a few short hours here on earth. Her impact has been huge. It is amazing how much a person can inspire and change so many people in such a short amount of time...and all without any words. Thank you Molly. We love and miss you dearly.
