Stream of consciousness
Consciousness. I am conscious. That is a big deal, seeing as it's, you know, before noon. I've actually been up since 8. I took the kids over to my parents house so they could see my Dad before he left. It's cold an rainy. I'm back in my bed now, cuddled up with Ali (bc there is no school, again) and watching NCIS. Yes, my 5 year old is watching NCIS, but it's a tame episode, and I want her to grow up and be like Abby. Just sayin. Dylan is in the living room watching Diego, and It's an overall quiet, lazy, cold rainy/icy day. And I like it.

I could get up and clean. I mean, I'm up, after all. I could go do dishes and put away laundry and mop my floors. I could be a productive mom. I could be not lazy and get up and do something. But then I wouldn't get to lay in bed and cuddle with my favorite 5 year old. And I guess that's okay with me. I'm at this cross roads. I could either let the guilt eat me up, and feel horrible about myself bc I'm a horrible mother and awful housewife, orrrrrrrr, I can lay here and cuddle with my girl, and we'll clean later. Yep, I think I'll take that one.

I have therapy later today. Then I'm going to get my hair cut off. I don't know how short yet, but it has to go. It's long and it's causing me to have headaches. Anyhow, I'm going to lay down and watch the rest of NCIS. I'm tired, but I won't sleep. And if I do, I won't feel guilty about it. :)

  • I'm a wife. I'm a mom. I'm a photographer. I'm a lover of Jesus. My house is a mess, my kids are dirty, we eat take out more often than not. My life is loud, busy and crazy. And that's okay with me.

    This is Eric, the man you've been praying for. He's a paramedic. He quilts in his spare time. No, I couldn't make that up :) He has NASH (a form of liver disease, non-alcoholic) and diabetes, but those things don't define him. He's a man of God, an insanely wonderful husband, and the best daddy in the world.. Just ask these guys..

    Our daughter Ali, she's 9. She's fiercely opinionated and strong willed. She's a Daddy's girl, but the umbilical cord hasn't but cut from me, either. She's a gymnast, and proud of it. She spends more time upside down or turning flips than she does walking. She's crazy smart, and absolutely sure of it. She is my insufferable little know it all.

    Our son Dylan, 7. We lovingly refer to him as Chubs. Or Chubby. Or fat boy. Ahem. He is all boy, as you can see by his crazy wild energy. He has the highest pain tolerance of any child I have ever met. He plays soccer and does gymnastics, but truly he is a gamer, a nerd. He is an avid reader and loves to climb. Not to be outdone by his sister, he's a drama king, but to him, I'm the best mommy in the world.
