I get really annoyed when I get stressed out! The irritation just adds more stress to the snowball of anxiety. The Word of God tells me "do not be anxious for anything. Instead, pray about everything." This exact scripture got me through many months of stressfilled situations w/ Noah. Still, today I was very stressed out ALL DAY LONG!!!
What is the cause of this stress? IDK! Maybe it is residual stress creeping in from the past few months of school and kid land. Or the fact that I have not slept for a solid four hours or longer since Noah was born 2 1/2 years ago... After going to Bible Study, sucking down a slurpee and candy bar and attempting a headstand, I must admit I feel much better. I will have to remember this recipe for next time.

the written
update, that is. (Scroll to the headings if you know or don't)
I'm addicted
I really have a love/hate relationship with facebook. Seriously. How can a grown woman with weeks of schoolwork, loads of laundry and decades of child rearing to do spend night after night on fb doing absolutely nothing? I will LITERALLY spend 3-4 hours on there when I am supposed to be writing about ethical dilemmas or something I could care less about. Well lookahere!! I guess that's why I did not get an A in the Ethics class. I am a moody deactivator too, but then I always jump back on. It's kind of like when it took me almost 6 years to stop smoking completely. Facebook stinks....Bleccchhh!!!
Sewing
I love this. Why did I never take it up before? Oh, I forgot, I did cross stitch an "I love mom" something or other when I was in grade school. And thanks to the middle school home ec teacher, I kind of remember how to sew buttons on... Debra's baby shower is in two weeks so I've really gotta bust a move to finish her baby's quilt. Plus, I will be starting classes again in two weeks, so it's now or never.
Two Kids
Someone once told me that having two kids is 17 times harder than having one. Whenever I find myself with only one, I think that I have just been spoon fed 2 gallons of half melted Cherry Garcia ice cream while I float on a raft in one of those infiniti pools. I actually love and adore having two children. It was the two classes that rocked my world (in a bad way-see below)
Two Classes
Because I thought I would try to be wonderwoman like my friend Becca, I took two online classes when Autumn was 2 months old. Horrible awful no good very bad 2 1/2 months is an exponential understatement. Going from one kid and one class to two kids and two classes is about 80,000,000 times harder. I am sooooo grateful it was only ten weeks. I could have been ruined forever! But God is good and he let me walk right into this mistake to learn a lesson. CALM DOWN AND ENJOY YOUR KIDS, they will give you grandkids before you know it!!!!!!!!!
Three Kids
I have four friends with three kids. Whatupwiththat? My dad would have a heartattack if I wrote a joke about having another one on the way. Don't worry, Dad, I will have to wait till KT Shaw gets pregnant again (we have had 2 pregnancies together), or Donna or Becca who shared the last one with all of us (#4 anyone?).
On to the weightier matters
I have been back in the gym. I have about 15 pounds to go before I reach pre-baby weight. I am determined to get there before the end of the year. Since I only consistently eat three food groups (fruit, veggies, and TOTAL GARBAGE), I think I can make it. Now if you will excuse me, the cherry pie and ice cream I bought are calling my name...

It's been a loooong time
I had a baby and then school started and I kind of fell off the face of the blogging earth. I am back but now I do not know what to write about. So i will just post some pictures:) Enjoy
"I think my life is about to change..."
(Oh, btw I did not get the "pregnancy mask" it's the shadow from our storm window holder, haha)
Yup! There she is!
She slept for about 2 weeks...(at Debra's wedding)
Then she woke up and tried to eat her brother.
He's such a proud and protective big brother:)
Hangin with the neighbor/friends:)
I need to frame this pic
The cutest dollar I've spent in a looooooooong time...
