MoOdS

today is one of those days i want to curl up in bed and have NO responsibility. I always feel guilty for feeling like this for a couple of reasons. I don't really have a bad life, i just don't like some of the circumstances in it. But that is life. And the other is Collin is off working and it is not like he can do that. I also have felt like something needs to change. I am not exactly sure what it should be, but know that something needs to be done. I could probably start with my attitude. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the weather really changes mine. Lately all I can think of is moving. I used to just want to go on a trip to Mexico and thought that would be enough ;) Yesterday I took the kids down to the beach and watched them play in the sand and throw rocks in the Ocean. I think I could do that everyday, but this is nearly impossible with our weather. So much had changed in our lives over the last few years that I could actually feel okay about doing so. I feel that we both trust and love the Lord that we would be able to find a church, the Internet makes it easy to feel connected with people and loved ones. Don't miss understand me that leaving would be tough for sure, but I used to think of it as impossible. I am not really sure what the Lord has in store, but I'm excited to continue with whatever plan He has for us.

  1. Justin and I definitely plan on moving sometime in the future. We want to live someplace warm for once. :) Justin's brother and family just moved to Hawaii so we're thinking maybe there...we'll see what the Lord has in store for us.

  2. You'd be greatly missed here! However, I know you would also be greatly loved in other places, and you are right the internet provides such a great connection to people far away...any close even :)

    I'd visit you in Hawaii ;)

  3. I think I understand where you're coming from. I've thought that a lot myself lately, just wanting to get away to someplace sunny and warm and it would be hard but we'd make it. Sometimes staying takes more trust and is much harder. If God directs you to move then I'm sure you'd go with his grace, but if he directs you to stay here and bloom where you're planted so to speak then his grace is on that. I saw your other post with the verse "My grace is sufficient for you." Read what comes next. That's what I'm counting on these days. His power to be made perfect in my weakness. I'll be praying for you guys:)

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
