I Lied

I lied when I said I was getting used to living outside of my comfort zone.
I thought Josh and I were getting used to it, but then the realization came and sure enough...we're not.
With each new thing we learn about Tucker we create this comfortzone in itself. For example We learn that he likes a certain kind of food so we only stick to that food, because the day before his belly didn't seem to hurt and he went right to sleep that night. (Right now that is squash) So he gets squash once a day and the rest of the day formula.
Maybe this is adjusting rather than being comfortable, but most of the time I think to myself "I wonder if he will peas" mostly because I love peas lol but then i'm all "what if peas hurt his belly? He is never getting peas"
Maybe this weekend will teach us a thing or two. Maybe we'll do more after this; or maybe we'll crawl in a hole and never come out. ;)

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....

If I Could

If I thought I was organized enough to keep one book full of information I might be learning the hard way, a day late and a dollar short kind of thing, I would. I would write down every nugget of information for my boys to learn from. Learn from MY mistakes rather than your own. Do I honestly think they will read it and believe it? Maybe when they're 30. Certainly not when they need to read it and learn more about the world, like age 10. I wish I had known so much more before leaving High School. I got dumped into this world naïve and ignorant and just a tad too "happy go lucky" for my own good. I thought all people were like me, happy, nice and trustworthy. I went to school in a bubble and left trying to believe everyone I met was good and honest. There are also so many financial mistakes I've made and a lot of career mistakes, mind you I wouldn't change a thing. I love where I'm at and how I got here, it makes me exactly who I am. I just wish I had known a ...

Like balancing your checkbook

I was told once that balancing your diet is like balancing your checkbook. When you look at how much money you have and how much you are spending it all has to balance out so you don't go in the negative. You can use the same principles to balance out your diet. For example if I eat a healthy breakfast and lunch I can afford a bit of a heavier dinner, just like if you save for a few weeks you can afford the big item you have been saving for. So that's what I do, I try to stay on track with my breakfast and my lunch because I typically eat a bigger dinner, and I always always have dessert. Lately I've been pretty bad at this. It used to be easy, I didn't have to think about it, I made it a habit and I liked healthy food. Today my life is much more complicated and in fast forward so I don't even know what all I'm eating through out the day, I snack a lot and I eat way too many sweets. I'm not drinking enough water either. So lets take it back to the bas...
