Realizations

While walking through Babies R Us:
I'm not out of the baby business yet. I walked through and remembered how little my babies were and how I want to do it just once more. Not soon, but eventually. We definitely need a few years and a little more room.

While checking a YouTube video:
This might just be my costume this year. Too funny and of course I will need to strike the pose!

While spending time with family:
Some people like to give you advice (unwanted, of course) on how to run your life when they have never had any experience in the field. Oh, and I am better at biting my tongue than I thought. For those of you who don't already know, don't EVER EVER pick on someone's kid in anyway what so ever. That is a mama's hot button!

While browsing the internet:
I've found a new best friend on the internet. Who ever writes this blog is a genius! I'm getting out my glue gun, glitter and other crafty crap!

Also while spending time with family:
People live different lives and sometimes that means we don't understand each other's point of view. Just respect it and try to understand.

While doing a home improvement project:
Whatever budget you have in mind for a project...double it...and my ceiling is not Swiss Coffee. I will need a new can of paint.

While watching the news:
Well, a couple things actually. At one point when the news was coming in on Haiti, I made a point to tell Micah that we are very lucky to live where we do, to have food and clean water and cars to take us where we need to go. I want him to realize that he is very blessed and there are people that don't have these things.
Another thing, why is it that God waits until after Christmas to send a natural disaster to impoverished countries? I hope this comes out the right way. Are we being challenged as a people to give more after we are feeling broke from the holidays? Isn't that the true meaning of Christianity?
