Grateful


Today I actually woke up you could say on the wrong side of the bed. Chris might say universe. Since I woke up so extremely cranky. Sorry babe, thanks for loving me anyways. I have just been feeling this feeling of we have so much to get organized and figured out before June. How's it all going to work, knowing in the back of my mind I feel great about things. Sometimes the back of my head feels further then other times. So today was one of those mornings. Well can I honest say this week. So luckily I had already thought I might need a break today so I had called up my friend Melissa to watch Jackson. Matthew had preschool. I had a morning to myself. I needed it! Jackson was so cute about going over to Aleya's house who he called Chiwaii's house at first. That kid cracks me up. First time really wanting a play date. He had his lunch and was so proud and excited to have a activity for himself. So we got out of the car and up her steps to be stopped by someone saying would you mind moving your car so I can bring them firewood. Sure no problem right. So I left Jackson there for .2 seconds while I moved the car to the front of the curb. While I did that I looked over and saw the cutest face ever getting all stressed out and worried. Like MOM, Um remember we were going to drop me off with my lunch that the size of me and now I am stuck on this sidewalk. And I really can't do it with out you. I love him. I was worried that he wouldn't or might not be as excited for his play date- babysitter. I picked him up and he was fine and excited again. So cute. Dropped him off and off I went to go do my thing.

So I have had this gift card I still hadn't used from a year ago and thought perfect I am going to try and use this. It was to Ross, which I have to admit I am so obsessed with Gap always have been always probably will be that I just wasn't sure I would ever find something for me in that store. Sounds snobby I know but I do love there clothes and they tend to fit me well and last. I was wrong! I found the cutest baby doll dress and it was only like 14 dollars. Cha$ Ching$$ This dress is going to be so fun to wear on the cruise. Its got these cute ruffles and its perfect. I know I was suppose to get a formal dress but ya I will just have to use one of my old ones. Learned I can shop other places which I honestly do. I do like Target kind of funny. Now possibly Ross... my heart still might be with Gap.

After Ross, and Costco I am driving around enjoying that no one is talking in the car and these kind of days I just like it quiet with no noise. It was heavenly!!! I was thinking about how grateful I am for my testimony. That no matter how hard life can be or feel sometimes. I truly know I am okay. I have direction in my life and an understanding of what is important. I feel sometimes like I am walking in my life not blind but guided. Only I am not sure how its going to turn out only that I know it will be great. So appreciative of simple reassurances I feel. Peace when times are stressful. Peace so I can return back to being mom and knowing that I am not going to loose it. So despite waking up on the wrong side of the bed I think its going to be a great day!

Lucky gal, going on a cruise! WE all have days like this where we need a break.
GOod work on finding something cute to wear. I think your GAP roots go back to Arizona when you & some siblings worked there, right?

Hey, sorry you had a rough day! Being a mom is hard! Everyone needs you at all times, and you hardly ever get to think about yourself. I'm so glad you get to go on this cruise! It will be the perfect pick-me-up in the middle of all this craziness!

I know the feeling! Mark starts his new job in Atlanta in June and I'm feeling the pressure of finding a house, getting Kami into a preschool, etc. It's funny how even when you know it's going to be fine, the details of how can still stress you out. Hang in there, it'll all be over for both of us soon! I'm excited for our new adventures.
