So yesterday, I was doing that pre-birth cleaning obsessive thing. Somehow in my mind, the house just can't be ready for me not to be able to clean it (appropriately). I realize that I have very capable men at my house that are responsible enough to see filth but there is a very clear difference between mom clean and man clean. Since I couldn't sleep I got everything done, hit home depot and fixed some things that needed to be fixed, planted an herb garden (small one), and around 5 was feeling a little depressed that this was going to be how I spent what might possibly be my last weekend with boobs. It kind of caught me off guard, truly sad. For the next 6 months, possibly longer- I am going to have the chest of a 6 year old girl. HOW DEPRESSING. I started to mope around, feeling sorry for myself and Doug decided that we would go down to universal. They have a free concert every Saturday night. Tonight is was the goo goo dolls. Thank goodness it was not last week I would have seen Boys to Men. The concert was good, but sitting and doing a little people watching at city walk was even better. I was almost tempted to create a new foto album for what should never be worn out--EVER. I am pretty aware of my body. I know that I am not a svelt super model type (never have been). I have always been a big boned girl shall we say. So from experience, I know what girls of girth should not wear. Do they not have any friends? I can excuse the Euros becasue they are after all on vacation and well, from Europe. So all the white capri, white shoe, skin tight deep V neck purple t-shirt gentlemen- You are excused. But, anyone who has lived stateside for 2 weeks should not be caught dead in leather pants and a torn t-shirt and a black sequin bra showing through- oh with TOMS and I love my TOMS. At least wear some sexy stilettos. It was a good time. A margarita or two and a delicious sushi snack later and we were heading home. All of that to say that the day ended well- but you can understand why I may not have posted yesterday.
SO today I am giving you the 3B for two days.
bumps: I am starting to have a hard time, a really hard time letting go of something I did not think I was attached to. I know that it is the right decision and actually the only logical one but- Going back to being 6 again is going to be tough.
Battle: Aside from having to be type A compulsive about organizing medical information, I am ready to get this started. I need to learn how accept help a little. Again it goes back to I take care of people- not the other way around. That is going to be really tough.
Blessing: Pink, Pink everything. I still am amazed at the outpouring of pink at school. SO blessed. I have had a friend write me two letters. I am going to spend a lot of time talking about this friend soon, so Heather, God put us together at an AP class years ago. We only spent 4 days in class together and yet God has provided me with truly a friend who is grounded in his word and a blessing for years, You are proof that HE is in control of every situation, everyday, and that He cares for us. Lori, 3 words- I love you! The house is clean- even the gout in the bathrooms. I am rested. Tomorrow I am planning, planning planning, Students beware- you will be able to take my class online- so no excuses (not literally because you are still minors so you need a sitter to make sure you stay on task) still no excuses. I am blessed. God is working on me and I know that He has placed special people for special purposes along my life for just this occasion. Much love to all
You're amazing. I'm laughing, crying, nodding my head in TOTAL agreement about the "people watching", and growing in my walk because of you. You are such a Godly woman, so down to earth, not the LEAST bit shy, but so very humble, & I miss you very much. I feel so blessed to have been able to spend time with you out here, even tho it was for a short period in our lives. (We STILL have Vondle beat for volume!) Know we're praying for you & wish we could be there to help. We are there in spirit, and faith. BTW, it's what's on the inside, NOT the outside, so 6 year old be damned. Armed & ready sister...go get 'em. Much love...
