ramble

ramble. running through my crazy heard at 1:05am. after i have been up with my 3 beautiful kids all day. after i got 5-6 hours of sleep.

~i miss my jojo. so far this week the only conversation we have had involves ice cream sandwiches. we are both so busy. she... more than i.... but still.... our days of 10-12 phones calls are a thing of the past.

~asher thinks he is a comedian. today he pulled his pants up to his ribs and walked around like an old man... grinning from ear to ear... where does he come up with this stuff.

~the sweetest elderly woman paid the $1 i was short at the register at Kohls tonight. she was heaven sent. i want to be like her.

~Nalea and i converse ALL day... i say our conversations consist of the following= 90% breastfeeding/baby, 5% dr phil or sister wives, 3% money, food storage, couponing, 2% gossip. i love her. im glad BOTH our babies have been less than 2 weeks apart from each other. Ash & Mak and now Lily and Elliot.

~i desperately need a manicure. desperately.

~can toddlers have allergies? because i think Mya has them.

~losing 15+ lbs in the first 2 weeks after delivery makes me so motivated to get back down to pre-baby (Asher) weight. cross your fingers my husband stops purchasing tempting candy

~i have the best mom. she would do anything for me. she would literally do anything in the world to ensure the happiness of her children and grandchildren. she listens to me excessively brag about my kids. she forgives my hormonal outbursts. she forgives my moody behavior.truthfully i would and do tell her everything. she has a heart the size of the sun and loves completely and unconditionally. she is my comfort....

~i have the BEST mother in law. no lie. i hear people talk about how they cant STAND their husbands mother... and i think.. hmmm i have never felt like that. she is so funny, loyal, caring, and loving. i feel so lucky that she raised such a good man for me to eventually marry. ALSO, she is so organized. sometimes when im at her house i just watch how she does things and think to myself-- i want to be like that.

~there is the most beautiful purple/pink flowered tree right outside my front door and i admire it every chance i get.

~my LEAST favorite things to do are= empty the dishwasher, put laundry away, and blow dry my hair. jared usually takes care of the first 2.. now if i could find someone who would blow dry my hair every day i would be set!

~Elliot is the easiest baby. he is perfection. there is nothing about him that is "difficult". he fits into our family like the missing puzzle piece we never realized was missing. my heart adores him. jared's heart adores him. mya's heart protects him. ash's heart desires to entertain him.

~i am so happy that i have grown into a place where i have learned to not compare my insides to other peoples' outsides. it feels good to love my life and my family. and feel that every decision/mistake/event in my 26 years of life has brought me right here!:) in my living room recliner-next to my husband- listening to mumford & sons-- admiring my sleeping son--.
