I have been running around like crazy for the last few weeks. Someone in our house is turning one, and it's taking a toll on mommy. So to summarize, I've included segments of thoughts in this post so that I remember them. There are too many to write out completely, plus my mind has been thinking in segments lately, so we'll go with it.
Paighton sang "Jesus loves me" along with the CD today in the car. I about wrecked as I kept turning around to watch her and smile. She makes my heart melt.
I have the handsomest little boy on the planet. I swear to you, he's going to melt hearts later in life and I'm hoping he doesn't forget the one woman who's always been in his heart from the beginning. :)
We're having Gannon's party at Bass Pro Shops. It's a camo theme party. While we are not a "hunting" family, I decided it would work. Again, we're going with it.
Paighton is now all of the sudden afraid of the dark/having her door shut at night. Terrified. Alligator tears. I am not sure where this is coming from, but it's keeping her up at night and she has taken to waking up at 5:30 am each morning. Zzzzzzzzzzz, oh I'm sorry, sleep deprivation......hoping someone can tell me what to do here. I'm lost with this one.
Gannon is walking (5 or 6 steps at a time) and saying "mama" in the morning in his crib. Did I mention I can't breathe? Stop time. Just stop.
My job is going very well. The people are super nice and the company is great. They actually value their employees. WHAT? :)It's amazing, and I am grateful.
Speaking of grateful, it's been on my heart a lot. I had been losing my way there for a while and taking too much for granted. Getting too comfortable in the everyday life. It's funny that I actually realized it and am making an effort to get back to home base. "God, it's Sarah. I forgot, but now I'm back. So, thanks. Thanks so much for all I have. You are GOOD."
At this time last year I was getting ready to have a baby. Getting a room ready for a little man that would steal my heart. He has a laugh that could cheer up the entire world.
It's still amazing to me how much can change in just one year. A baby. A new job. A new normal. We're working on this life each and every day.
My parents will be here tomorrow. And my sister. And my Grandma. My sister refers to it as "the Crazy train". I'm ready to jump on board. That's just who we are. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Does anyone think we should go to Disney World and a 10 yr anniversary trip next year? I do. My husband, hmmm, he still needs some work. Tax returns need to go for something fun right?!!??!!
I love my babies. I love my husband. I love that God has given me rainbows after the rain. I love all my friends, who really are just more passengers on the crazy train.
And with that, I'm segmented out.
