Curls!

I got up to take the girls curlers out before school for picture day. Here's the finished product. Also, Lilah helped Myles pick out clothes and get dressed today! 😊 I went back to bed all morning and have just been resting up! Love these cuties!

Be Brave Mom

  Monday, January 25, 2021- The weight of my blankets only made me want to stay in bed longer. I'm not a morning person regardless of not wanting to face Myles' doctor appointment. Myles decided he wanted to wear his super Mario brother hat from Halloween. Sure, why not?! When we arrived at the waiting room for the clinics in Primary Children's Hospital, I was taken back by the emptiness. The hospital, dedicated to the care of children, always has plenty to do and multiple options in the waiting room. We were once there for a swallow study and someone had the sole job to blow bubbles and play games to distract Myles and keep him happy during his testing. Anyways, thank you covid for destroying the fun for sick and sometimes scared kids waiting to be seen. 😓   We actually didn't have to wait long. The nurse took us back to the room they weigh and measure kids in. When I walked in memories flooded my mind of all the different times I've been in that room with Myl...

Embrace The Glorious Mess That You Are

"Embrace the glorious mess that you are." This is a magnet on my fridge. I got this to remind myself to embrace my messy house, embrace my messy life, embrace my craziness and not be ashamed of who I am and who I'm striving to be. My house is frequently considered a disaster zone. I have struggled with balancing a clean house, being a good mom, and keeping my sanity for years. It really is a delicate balance. I have found that I can be a really good house keeper OR I can be a really good mom. I'm not to the point where I can claim both of these things at the same time. Maybe someday? The pile. Everything in 1 pile on 1 side of the room. I'm a bit OCD...you'd think that this would mean that I need things super clean. Here's my problem though. If something needs to be clean, then I'm going to clean that thing till it basically looks brand new, even if that means cleaning 1 thing for 8 hours. In the meantime everything else in the ho...

Crazy Sick Days

Image
I really hate missing things my kids participate in. I try my hardest not to miss things. That's easier said than done when you have lots of kids participating in things! Sometimes the only option is to divide and conquer. I was very fortunate today that a friend offered to pick up the junior high carpool and switch me weeks because I am still sick. Then my mom called and offered to pick up my elementary school kids. My mom then drove me to Kenzie's cross country meet and got me as close to the finish line as possible so I wouldn't have to walk too far. I'm so grateful for all the extra help today! I should also mention my sister, Kathy-Jean, who has also not been feeling well, picked up Lilah from preschool and kept her most the day to hang out and play with cousins! My mom got Maybree to her soccer practice later. Whew! Thanks mom again! Kenzie's second cross country junior high meet today was so amazing! I don't know what it is about watching her cross t...
