random...



I have BlogGo on my phone and have a few posts hoarded on there {ahem-BlogGo people, fix your app issues, and start letting me publish my posts from my phone! soooo frustrating!} that are about the arrival of our sweet new baby sister, Liza Jo, Christmas, and other fun times!

In the meantime...

^^^random? Yes, but that's just how my brain is working these days. So in the spirit of randomness, here are twenty random things I'm experiencing, thinking about, and/or doing at this point in my life.

  1. I cannot focus. My brain jumps from one thought to another, never making sense, making those ADD kids I taught in junior high look like rocket scientists. For reals. Right now I'm thinking: cannot is one word-pet peeve deluxe when people write can not... {{{update: according to this website, cannot and can not are interchangeable. whomp, whomp}}}
  2. ^This is not from sleep deprivation, believe it or not. Liza is an excellent night sleeper, most nights only waking up one to two times to eat, then giving momma four to SEVEN hours of uninterrupted sleep. Hallelujer! Now lets just get her to sleep in her own crib and not next to momma :)
  3. Beer...yummmm
  4. I miss my sister. A ton. :(
  5. I'm conflicted about dieting. I desperately want to lose weight. However, I'm not desperate enough to jeopardize my milk supply. This plexus pink drink does intrigue me though... 
  6. Also conflicted about returning to work. Do I go back to work and regain some of my identity and the consistency of a routine? Or do I stay home and raise my girls? Guilt. Guilt. Guilt. Either way I feel guilt. ahhhh
  7. Addicted to coffee. I would drink it all day, every day if the caffeine were good for Liza. Alas, it is not, so I will stick to my one treasured cup a day. 
  8. Ok, I lied. Sometimes I drink two treasured cups :)
  9. My kids are beautiful. Gorgeous. So stinking, flipping pretty. :)
  10. Sometimes when Charley says "momma, momma, momma, momma, momma...." over and over again I wish I had a bank that would spit out money to me for every time she said momma. 
  11. I honestly don't think I've slept an entire full night in my own big comfy king size bed since Liza's been home. No harm done, I can sleep anywhere. 
  12. I love breastfeeding. 
  13. Tiny school is so helpful to Charley. She surprises me daily with things she randomly picks up at school and home. 
  14. Other things Char picks up at school? Germs. Yes, thanks for strep throat :(
  15. Most amazing baby invention ever? A baby swing similar to this. Moms, dads, grandparents, babysitters...GET one! You'll be happy you did!
  16. Potty training must be God's way of punishing me for that one time I told my dad I didn't love him. 
  17. I now watch "Dance Moms". ::sigh:: maybe not for the drama (or maybe so), but why, why on earth was I not born a dancer? Those tiny little dancers are ahhhhmazing!
  18. I'm becoming more obsessed with my silhouette cameo paper cutter. Don't know what that is? Google it, then buy it on amazon, then prepare to be totally geeked out by the coolest printer on the face of the earth! 
  19. Sometimes I want to write very frank, honest, "not-so-happy" blog posts. You know, the stuff people are going through but don't want the whole world to know about. The things we are ashamed of or don't think people would understand. The times a mom wants to just throw the towel in or pull hair out versus the "we just made these ten thousand crafts from pinterest" posts.
  20. Not that I cook much, and when I do I use simple, redundant recipes, but lately I've been enjoying the craft of cooking. Shocking. 
  21. I spend way too much time on my phone.
