My Five Guilty Pleasures…
I’ve been tagged by my wonderful friend and mentor, Cathy to reveal just five of my guilty pleasures, so here I go:1. Drinking wine and eating dessert while watching “The Biggest Loser.”2. While cleaning the house, I listen to my ipod and pretend that I can dance like I am on “So You Think You…

Epiphanies of Sleep Deprivation
1. I get really perturbed if the laundry can’t be folded within five minutes of the dryer stopping. 2. If I can’t clean up the crumbs, dishes, coffee stains on the counter, or even get dressed before lunch time, I will survive. 3. Motherhood changes who you are, despite all your efforts to remain the…

Encouraged
I sat down with my travelers mug of coffee with loads of yummy cream and sugar and had some quiet time after I wrote in my blog earlier. I love how God works once you surrender. I felt I released my tight gripped hands and left them open. Open for anything and this is what…

Discouraged (warning: kinda depressing blog)
It’s 5:15 a.m.’ I’ve been up, I think, since 2 trying to comfort my spit uppy child. Now, I’ve given up on sleeping for the night and I am waiting for the coffee to brew. Ryker is in my view straight ahead sitting all snuggled up in his pimp daddy swing- awake and making grunting…

Back in the Game…

So empathetic.3. “Optagon” aka octagon4. “ME-ilk” (milk)5. “Elepoot” (elephant)…this one I will never correct her on because…

It’s the Little Things (La Familia)
It’s the little things that make me happy or make my day. I cried last night on the couch after watching a funny episode of “The Office.” Not from the actual show- but from a phone call. My sweet brother called last night and simply said, “I am gonna come down tomorrow and visit with…

Will I Always Feel This Way?
This morning started off rough. Maybe it was the 12+ hour shift I had solo (with the exception of dinner time) with Copeland and Ryker yesterday. Or the lack of sleep is just now catching up to me. Or the constant changing of poopy diapers for Ryker. Or the guilt of not wanting to change…

Life- A New Addition
There really is so much I want to blog about in my at home labor experience but there is such an abundance that it is hard to even begin. On January 25, 2009, Ryker John Chadwick came into this world at 2:49 a.m. After a great day of mild labor and a pedicure to help…
