Forgiveness

We could all learn a thing or two about forgiveness from the children in our lives.

I personally think that I am very laid back but have a hard time forgiving and an even harder time forgetting when I have been wronged.  I struggle with this A LOT no matter how hard I try.

I watch these two boys, at the mercy of my parenting trials and tribulations forgive so WHOLLY and EASILY when I make a mistake.  Literally, five minutes later all they want is love from me..which only serves to make me feel even worse.

The new 25

I am turning 35 in a few days and while I have never been a big numbers girl this one is hitting me kind of hard.  I am blessed in more ways than you want to hear but I still feel like I have not accomplished as much by this age as I thought I would.  On the other hand, I had a hard time envisioning myself as a mother or a wife and if I say so myself I am doing a pretty decent job in that arena.  Life is funny, short, unpredictable, great, crazy but it is my life and I am proud and thankful of where I am....even if it isn't where I expected to be.

If you really knew me you would know that

I am shy

I love being outside digging in the earth

I am married to my best friend..and the funniest person I have ever met

I look forward to my English Breakfast Tea every morning

I recycle

I am teaching myself to sew

Italian food = true love

I never thought I would be so domesticated...or a stay at home mom

Fresh cut grass, rosemary and baby breath are some of my favorite smells

I go with the flow but never quite fit in

I love to read

Decade

Think back to the years 2001 through 2010. Give that decade a name ("The ______ Decade.")

The "I graduated, now what....let's buy a farm and cows....too easy..let's leave behind all of our family and friends and move to another state and oh shit...they are going to let me take this baby I just birthed home...and wow this being a mom stuff is kind of cool, exhausting but cool" decade.

Make

Today I want to make:

Rockets out of recyclables.

Smiles out of frowns.

Lemonade out of lemons.

Buildings out of blocks.

Great men out of little boys.

Food out of love.

Morning

A fresh start.

Need to pee.

No really, it can't be morning yet.

Crazy bed hair is cute on babies, on me, not so much.

English Breakfast Tea
