:: i have never done so much laundry in my life...and i still run out of pajamas and cloth diapers for the girls. i wouldn't change it for the world...but i would change the fact that my laundry 'room' is in the basement. i will take note of how many steps i walk up and down every day for the reminder of what not to do in our future home.
:: pumping when you're breastfeeding is a pain...and though i once didn't mind it...i have grown to dislike it very much. i'd rather keep the babies with me at all times until they are weened after their first birthday and not have to worry about a bottle...ever. is that bad? i don't care, i still don't like pumping.
:: i think i may have birthed out my manners/social skills when i had the twins. for real. i was walking tonight with a friend and a runner/neighbor happened to stop by the two of us so she could meet the girls. i think we talked for like 8 minutes and do you think i even thought to introduce my neighbor to my friend? nope. well, once we walked away i did. ugg. i forget to return phone calls, even though i write them down on my 'to-do' list that i also seem to lose throughout the day. i am awkward all of sudden and run out of things to talk about, or sometimes i even forget my point in the middle of a sentence. i feel like my brain is mush.
:: i have no clothes that fit. they are either too tight on my still-sticking out belly. or they are too big and i'm that girl that walks around pulling her pants up at the grocery store. i also need new underwear. mine are all stretched out from my pregnancy growth.
:: my house is a pig-sty and for some blissfully insane reason, i don't care. honestly. i mean, do try to tidey up before i go to bed, but i am realizing that what was once so important to me, (well, it still is and i do dream of the days when i can organize with my little girls) just doesn't really matter anymore. i would rather have their books and toys and play mats and blankets and high chairs and boppies and swings taking up my whole living room than anything else. life is pretty great these days...and i just don't care anymore how messy and unorganized my home is.
:: tea. i am in love with thee. licorice spice, vanilla honey chamomile, mothers milk, lavender chamomile, the list is long and plentiful. i am addicted to it and drinking an average of four cups a day. yumm.
:: she is my kindred spirit. no lie. and i love her writing, her heart for others...and her courage to be taught every.single.day. she's gonna change the world...just like oprah. and i am excited to watch her journey. so very cool. when she said, "As a serious introvert with a deep need to connect, I’m always playing tug-o-war with myself. I want to run far away from the world – I want to sprint – open armed – toward the world. I want to retreat from people – I want to melt into people. I need escape and immersion simultaneously. " i thought: that's me! she's me! i am a loner wanting to hide behind my words...and yet i have an insane pull to be near, around, with and observing people. i always thought i was weird that i was both. now i feel a little less weird knowing there are others out there just like me. thanks glennon! :)
:: i am taking a month OFF from facebook, the blog-world, and pinterest in April. I cannot, however, depart from Instagram and the only reason is because I find taking pictures each day somewhat captures a mini-journal for myself & my family. but with the weather getting warmer, the priorities in my life shifting, life "stuff" happening every which corner i look at, I have to slow down. I have to pause more. Breathe In and out more. Worry less. Enjoy more. Let go of some things and let my good Lord take the reigns. And i know too well, that if i don't force myself into some sort of a 'cleanse' per-say, I will not do any of the above. So i'm doing it. I'm shutting down my two most addicting social media apps on my phone & computer and not revisiting them until May 1st. I am scared ....and so excited!!! TIme to start writing real letters again, cooking from my actual cookbooks, and enjoying all of my glorious moments with two of my favorite people on this earth: little miss S & M. Wish me luck!!
