TICK TOCK

It's 1:30 AM. It's been awhile since I've stayed up this late.  I'm completely exhausted and feel so beat up from life that I can't sleep. The house is a disaster and today is Sunday. I hate having a messy home on Sundays. It puts me and everyone else in a terrible mood and then no one wants to go to church. I started to clean and then I found myself having thoughts of wishing I were a child again, wishing I could just go to bed and know that my mom would take care of everything, wishing I weren't the only one who cared about the physical and emotional state of our home...(ok actually Matt does care about that, however he stops caring after a certain time of night :). I feel like I keep running out of time. Time to spend with my kids, time to hold my husband, time to study and prepare for class, time to pray, time hang out with my girlfriends. I keep watching the clock begging for it to stop for a little bit. It mocks me and keeps on ticking...............Now that I've complained and had a pitty party for myself I guess I'll go clean. The only time we have is the time we use. Annoying. Ughhhhh

Matthew Lee...we call him Bubbie

Matthew and I share the same birthday! He was born on my 25th birthday and turned the big 4 this year! We had  so much fun celebrating him!

I also had fun celebrating this years birthday with great friends and good food! My girlfriends showered me with the most amazing gifts and I talked to every one of my best girlfriends on the phone that day, and that in and of itself was so much fun! I love you all!

No worries the tears in my eyes are because of Amy. She made me 3 journals made from the material of Amanda's prom dresses. It really caught me off guard and  it took me a little bit to contain myself. After a few minutes I was geeking it up again..

Groundhog Day!!!

So Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow and now we will have a dreaded 6 more weeks of winter? Whatever...I am so over it. I'm ready for the sunshine, picnic, park playing, throw the kids outside kind of weather! For real. We've had a stressful couple of months but we've been able to find some fun in that stress too...Thank goodness:)

Matt and Belle with the flu the week of Christmas

Our good ol swimming pool from last summer has now been turned into an ice skating adventure!


                                                           

I couldn't stop laughing when all three of them came out of the play room dressed like little girls!

A girl with a gun...always a good sign.
