:: it helps…when you’re not lovin’ correcting all that math…to look up and see the baby trying to heave himself into the clothes dryer!
him all high centered on the rim of the door…with his chubba legs just pumping up and down!
ahhh…now back to my math…
:: that boy o’ mine took his little birthday brother for fries and a shake today…and william is sitting here next to me telling me all about it…
and he says that…
“when i’ya said if i wanted a “large fry”…
i thought he meant one really big fry…
but then i figured out that it was actually a tons of fries!”
so thankful he’s making memories with these little guys!
:: the bestest time to sneak a handful of m&m’s and wash ’em down with a swig right outta the milk jug…before eating my dinners…is when the biggest brother has everyone watching a movie down in his room…
:: grocery day again…
woke up not all that excited about the running here and there…
then i read the headlines…
and all of a sudden…getting to feed all these little people seems like the biggest blessing in the world…
:: spent the day with our very…so very…sweet sixteen today…
that 20-year-old…now a sweet 16…and a 13’er come january…
these birthdays are killin’ me!

:: still counting sleeps until our getaway…looking back at all those 7,665 days…them all piled up into the 21 years spent learning to love each other well…
still so, so much to learn…
still thinking about my post last night…and the 26,645 days…the 73 years my little gramma has loved her honey…so, so well…
so many years…mine just a drop in the bucket!
hoping and praying my loving him well resembles hers more and more as the years keep going by…
:: i’m a monday-naughty mama…
i set all the “we have nothing better to do but mischief” littles down around a tricky puzzle…and left them there with the toddler circling like a lil’ shark…
:: realized something while i played and explored in grampy and grammy’s river with my littles today…
i don’t play and explore enough with my littles!!!
:: in 43 days…my honey’s taking me away for 5 (alone) days!
something we haven’t done in over 7,665 days! (just a wee bit excited!!!)
i think i need my kiddos to whip me up one of their fabulous “only this many more sleeps until…” paper chains today…
dear blog,
okay…i used to do this…“keep” you…
it’s been awhile…
back then, it was just a way to keep in touch with everyone while we were so far away…
but now…
now, i just wanna keep in touch…with my life…
it’s going by so fast…all a blur…
i don’t want to miss any of it…
i want to be…here…now…
to live it…this one life…not just remember it…
so i’m gonna pin bits and pieces of it…moments…down here…
to try to slow it down a bit…keep it in focus…
no more “i’ll start tomorrow”…
but now…
very sincerely,
me
