The Speed of Life

Time. Time is flying by and life is getting so busy that I can't even think straight. I spend most of my time thinking of twenty five things at once and that is not a joke. While I'm doing one thing I'm always thinking a step ahead and thinking 99% of the time about my boys. That includes my husband. Anyhow that relates to how fast time is flying because when I wake up in the morning (yesterday at 6 am) and I have thought an hour has passed when really it's lunch time already. There is always always something to do and not enough time to do it. (I won't bring up my lack of printing pictures, I still don't have a single picture of Grant printed out) Therefore time is flying by at a rate that reminds me I need to document these times. There are so many things I want to remember while the boys are little. For instance how Tucker will rub Grants head when he walks by him, or how Tucker goes to the pantry and picks out what he wants to eat when he's hungry. I think my husband and I are doing a good job making memories right now while the boys are little, believe it or not we do more now that when we didn't have kids. So I will try to post more about the boys, (in 2 short days Grant will be 2 months old) because I want to look back and remember. Maybe I will get fancy and even incorporate pictures. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

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...
