I love cats

So... Apparently being a full time mama/wife/nurse, makes it super hard to be a full time blogger. Or full time blogger that writes things worth reading. I do enjoy the thought of other people reading what I write and at the very least getting a good chuckle out of it, so I'm going to give it the good college try to post 3 times a week. We'll see how that goes!

It seems like things have been crazy busy lately. Matt has been working late and is busy with class working on his masters. I've had a few late days at work. It's amazing how things that would have been no big deal before we had a family really throws a wrench into things. 

We had absolutely nothing planned this weekend and it was GLORIOUS!! It was rainy and gloomy and just perfect! These are my favorite weekends. 

The girls and I were eating waffles yesterday for breakfast and I told them how I loved them both so very much. Elle responded with quite possibly the best response all year. "Yes. And I love cats!"

Man I love that girl! Trying my best to soak in every last ounce of this stage in our lives- albeit one day at a time!

Cat lover and I before her quiet time. 

Glow in the darkness

Nothing wipes out your free time like recovering from a cold while continuing to adult! Just today I feel like I'm finally back to 90%! 

Anyways, I wanted to share something I heard today. Glow In The Darkness. Part of my prayers for my littles and myself is to be a light in this world. The world is full of so much hurt, I hope to always be part of the love. On the radio today they were talking about being a light in the world and how you should strive to glow in the darkness. I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason that little saying stuck out to me. It's easy sometimes to get sucked into the darkness, gossiping, negativity, wanting... I'm going to try my best to be an example to those around me. I am going to glow in the darkness. I might flicker now and then, but I know who my eternal flame belongs to, and I know it will keep glowing until there is no darkness. 

I hope you can be a light wherever you are!

Out of commission

Wow... It's been awhile. Last Tuesday during the photoshop class I was taking I noticed I was getting a sore throat, didn't think too much about it. Fast forward to a week later and I am still recovering. I haven't felt this bad in a while. Of course the girls got sick too. I had to reschedule pictures that I've already rescheduled 3 times because of the rain. Fingers crossed we get them taken soon. 

Yesterday and today I took the day off work. The girls stayed with Grammy and Pap and I rested. Boring!! I felt so terrible and was glad I could just worry about me, but talk about lonely. Morning and afternoon TV has just gotten horrible. I could barely stand to keep it on. 

Today I started feeling much better as the day went on. I picked up the girls early and we did some painting outside in the backyard. I'm hoping we all make full recoveries soon. The weather is too gorgeous to be stuck in bed!
