Outside my window...
It is cold and windy. We really do have such strange weather here! Over ninety degrees this weekend and then cold today! Oh Mother Nature, you have such a sense of humor!
I am thankful...
For amazing doctors that take care of the ones we love! And for the two little girls that made my Mother's Day so special. And for having a mom (and other mother figures) in my life.
I am thinking about...
Time. And how it slips past us so fast... Oh, and the big, hairy spider I killed today. Ironic?
Learning all the time...
We are still learning about how to deal with a two-year-old. And what to do with her during the day while Mommy needs to get work done.

From the kitchen...
Last week we were bad... This week we have a plan to be better. We are working on a goal of eating at home more while at the same time trying to eat better. I think the donut I had for breakfast wasn't on the plan but Mom made some super yummy chicken tacos for dinner!!!

I am creating...
I would love to fill this section with amazing crafts that would make you jealous to be me. Alas, I cannot. I had a plan to create things. I have a niece and a nephew that will be celebrating Birthdays in the next few weeks and I have great ideas and no motivation. Yeah, yeah, poor me!

I am working on...
Keeping up with work! I'm not getting ahead of the game right now but I'm keeping my head above water!

I am going...
To an appointment Tuesday and a doctors appointment for Baby Sister on Wednesday. Just a check up. But that's the excitement this week!

For Big Sister and I to learn how to communicate better.

For all the children that didn't get to spend Mother's Day with their mommies. For all the mothers that couldn't spend Mother's Day with their kids. For the mommies that have yet to meet those little bundles that will create a whole new life for them. For family that had one of the most crazy weeks, almost losing someone and knowing that he is strong enough to pull through. For the doctors and nurses that do big things and small. For anyone that does big things or small.

Around the house...
Now that we know we are here for the long-haul we are fixing things up. We'll be doing some work to our bathrooms soon, painting some rooms, putting things back up on the walls.
One of my favorite things...

One of my favorite things...
Getting to spend time with my nephews! Last week I got one of my nephews almost the whole day and today I got the other one for half the day. I got to hang out with them, watch some shows, help with homework. They are amazing boys and I love the time I get with them.
A few plans for the rest of the week...
A couple appointments and clean, clean, clean!

Random thought...
I totally get why people hate jury duty! I did a report on jury duty when I was in High School (I think, I doubt it was in Jr High?) and I "get" the whole process. I get it that we need to be impartial and "fair" and that people are innocent until proven guilty and that you have to believe without a "reasonable doubt" that the person did what they are accused of doing. The process needs a revamp though! I don't know how but it really does. Spending four hours in a room only to have five people get dismissed!?!? Okay, so really seven people got dismissed but one of them was a pregnant lady who is due any second and the other was a dude that was practically on oxygen! And those two got dismissed at the beginning... When they told me I'd have to come back the next day I nearly broke down! I think the judge was a little pissy that I was asking for a deferment at the end of the day but whatever. So in three months I will be getting another summons. Did you know I could have gotten a one year deferment if I would have read the fine print about breastfeeding? Yeah, I'm kicking myself about it, trust me!!!
