I have been a terrible blogger. I seem to get into the habit and out of the habit quite quickly so I sat back and tried to evaluate why that might be and how I can do better. And then it hit me, I was trying to blog just what my family was doing, bigger events or at least days where I took lots of pictures and inevitably I would fall behind. Then the task would feel far to great and I would give up. (and the task just became bigger) And things that I really wanted to say about my family and life and everything in general just never made it there, (or became a rare occasion.)
Wanting to share what I am learning as a Mother and a Wife, even to make people laugh, because yes, it took me that long to figure that out. But mostly for me to see where I've been and where I'm headed, (so basically my journal, minus all the things that I probably shouldn't put into a journal because there is no way I want my children someday reading that, to say the least there will be blushing in Heaven that day.)
So some of this maybe more intimate details of me, other days it could be just my daily happening and thing I would like to remember, and I would prefer only uplifting comments as I open up my world to you...
Today was special, I decided to take a little mommy time and read old e-mails and such between my hubby and I while we were dating. We were ridiculous! One of the old conversations I had saved (from when Messenger was cool and you'd sit and type a conversation for way longer than if you had just called) a giggled at the funny things we wrote. My sweet Hubby had changed his picture to one when he was little (about 2 years old) and then I told him how cute he was and he responded, "If you want to babies like that YOU HAVE TO MARRY ME" followed by a laugh and "I got you now" I could not help but smile at this as it was almost exactly 5 months before we became engaged, and was about the first starts of "hinting" toward the subject of marriage. (I should maybe mention that we had been dating for just under 7 months) I am so grateful I saved those messages, it's just fun to have a reminder of our dating life and how we talked then and how it's changed over the years. We still laugh and joke and have so much fun together, the difference is we have much more tender feelings for each other than I could have ever imagined. I am pretty sure that's what makes me enjoy the start so much, I have gotten to see a little bit of where it's taken us.
During this time I was sitting with my son and watching a movie with them when I
noticed Andi had been quiet for the past 5 or so minutes, which for this time of day was very common she should have fallen asleep by now, so I got up to check on her (she was only around the couch and just out of sight.) This is what I saw...
A carpeted floor covered in a powdered sugar mess! I could only laugh! My little boy hovered over the couch to see what I was doing and he too thought it was funny! The couch had a light dusting of sugar on it too as I put Andi there while I grabbed Rob to take a look (he grabbed the camera) and then I proceeded to
fill our vacuum with a couple of pounds of powdered sugar. This showed me that Andi was not in the mood to cuddle and take her nap. And that she would need some extra "Mommy-Daughter" time that night because clearly she was bored! I really did love the little mess that interrupted my time travel, I think I would have kept reading all night had she not made the mess. (Although I do need to buy more vacuum bags tomorrow!) I couldn't punish that sweet little girl, how could I, I had never taught her not to get into those items, if anything I had taught her the opposite as she cooks and bakes with me frequently! She gets it out of the cupboard for me or more frequently I can hand it to her and she'll put it away. So all I could do was smile and tell her that we couldn't do that again, and that it wastes our yummy food.
I have been trying to find time to take the children's fall pictures and have been waiting for the appropriate weather, and it's finally cooling back down so I thought that having some girly getting ready time would be fun for our short "Mommy-Daughter" time that night... The results are at the top of the post because I had trouble moving them down and it's late.
