More Errands Than The Average Bear....

I feel like I spend my life running errands!  As it stands right now I have a growing to do list and all I can think is I need about 5 good hours to get it all done. 

Is it just me or do you feel like you spend your life in the car going from place to place?  When I start or add to my to do list it doesn't seem like any big deal.  Even when I tell the hubs everything I did (all the errands I've run) it sounds negligible but it sure doesn't feel that way. 

Somehow I spend the better part of most weekends in my car going to the dry cleaners, the alterations place, the mall, the bank, the grocery store, etc.  I feel like someone could make a great deal of money by offering to run all your errands for you. 

For instance my dry cleaners started a service where they will come to your house pick up your dirty clothes, launder them and then return them.  Hallelujah is all I have to say!!  These days when things get overwhelming I'm looking to OUTSOURCE them to anyone that can help make our lives easier. 

So just know I am thinking about you when you are out there running all your errands like a crazy person and just now I feel exactly how you do....that we have more errands to run than the average bear. 

Cheers!

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started c...

Dear Emily

Hello all my lovely readers!  I hope you and your are staying toasty warm.  I have been loving all this time with my baby girl.  Please enjoy this edition of Dear Emily.  xoxo Dear Emily, Sweet girl you aren't a baby anymore!!  You are walking, talking (in your way), pointing at things and being so much fun.  You won't believe it but you are starting to run!  It doesn't last long because you fall (sadly) but you are running.  You have also learned to hug, which is amazing!!  Nothing warms my heart more than getting a great big hug from my baby girl. You are obsessed with pointing out all the lights and pictures you see!  You want to talk to mommy and daddy about them.  It's so fun to witness your world opening up.  You are discovering all sorts of new things and it's so exciting. Daddy calls you his petite princess because you are still barely fitting into 12 month clothes even though you ar...

I Never Meant to be a Teacher

I want to start out by saying I feel a massive amount of love, respect and honor for all of those individuals who are teachers.  I truly feel like you are the unsung heroes of our world and don't get near enough credit (or pay).   I entertained the idea of being a teacher for about 15 minutes in elementary school and realized even then I didn't have the patience.  My stuffed animals weren't cooperating with the ABC's lesson I put together and I lost interest pretty quickly.   I really didn't give it much thought again until I had kids.  I got a lot of anxiety after having my first child and a massive amount after having my second.  As I did some soul searching about the anxiety I realized it was because of the terrifying thought that I am their most important teacher.  You see all those little sayings and signs about moms/parents being the most important teacher, just be being.   All I can say to that is JESUS TAKE T...
