oh baby

does it get better than this????








elizabeth was 6 days old.
and perfect.

and so loved.

................................................

i am off to california!!!
i typing this from the denver airport.
woo-hoo. 

mess.

here is a dorky video blog about how messy my house is.
it's way up in my face.
sorry about that.
:)

i left this morning to go running.
i charged my ipod before i left.....like for 8 minutes....i took the kids to school.....opened my bag.....
my headphones were gone....UGH!!!  
i can't stand when my kids take my things.
makes me so angry.
someone in that 8 minutes decided to sneak them off the iPod at the computer.
how lame is that???

it's going to take some serious shift in my attitude to get over that.
that is what the RUN was for.
but i can't run without headphones....if you can do that then great for you....i can't.

my list for today:

bank
groceries
return some clothes to CATO
laundry
return overdue library books i found yesterday
schedule/calendar fix
make a meal for my family for when i am gone
change sheets on the kids' beds
PACK for california
finish "speech" for Blog Sugar
mani/pedi
 
that last one is non-negotiable. 
let's hope it's better than the last one...... 

tomorrow i get to see her and her with her!!!
can't wait.

pros/cons

con: getting up at 6 AM is not fun for me...

pro:  there was a HUGE rainbow on the drive to the school bus today at sunrise.

(have you listened to the double rainbow song....please say yes....if not...go do it.)

pro: my kids bus stop is in the country.  it's beautiful
       and calm and quiet and no other cars around.
       i will try to take a picture sometime. 

pro:  holding babies in the nursery at BSF (bible study fellowship) this morning...rocking them to sleep

con:  missing BSF lesson to watch the babies.
        (one time in 3 or 4 months is ok) 

pro: shopping with my friend who sits and gives me input for almost 2 hours and then brings in the
       jeggings that saved the day.
       these pants are super cute and super comfy.
       they aren't as Olivia Newton John/sandra Dee as they appear....trust me!
       i bought a 31 (i am usually a 14/16)
       in the store they had 32 and 33 also....fyi.
       they actually aren't jeans...they are stretchy cotton.



con: never getting enough time together with my friend!

pro: getting an early birthday card with $25 Starbucks gift card!
       the perfect gift.   
       Venti iced coffee for me please!  
      

pro: finding an outfit for blog sugar, a starbucks and making it home in time to pick up my kids  :)

pro: kansas speed limits up to 75 mph.  

pro: everyone had homework!!!  i love homework.  not kidding.

pro:  PARENTHOOD is back on.  
        that makes me so happy. 

mostly pros outweigh the cons.
