No routine yet

But oh well! I was going to start today, but I also started trying Brady on sleeping with no pull up. Let's just say at 4:45 am I was awoken to a little boy crying in my sleeping face saying, "Mommy, I'm all wet...can I sleep with you?" Umm no, but I can sure change your bed for you!! (another side note, Shelby slept from 7 pm til 7:15 am!!)

So I changed the sheets and back in he went....and so did I. And then my morning was all thrown off from there, but that's ok. I got in some Tae-bo and crunches, made a dessert for tonight's small group (hope it's my turn because I forgot which one I took) and tried taking a nap. I was awoken 3 times. Two out of the 3 were hearing my dear sweet angels kicking the wall and giggling while they were supposed to be taking a nap, and the third was my dear husband bounding in to bed to...oh come on, to tell me his grandmother fell and was going to the hospital.

So I figured what better time than to blog?!

I have had a lot on my mind lately. I can't pin point it to one specific thing though. I've been noticing a pattern though with me lately. I start something I really want to do, and then let it go for awhile, when I should be working at it more. Examples, yes that's plural...

1. Meditation
2. Reading
3. Writing (and that's not blogging, I obviously don't have any issues with that!)
4. Starting my routine
5. Playing my guitar
6. Exercising (that's a neverending battle I think)
7. Using more patience

So, if I need any prayers lately, it's for focus in my life and determination to fulfill these things that I have started.

I think I am going to start doing a positive word of the day...

Here's one for today: Perseverance

–noun
1.
steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
2.
Theology. continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation.

Megan,
that dessert was amazing! I'm surprised you found time to make it w/ all you had going on. I had you on for next week but I'll cover for you :) I'm praying for Tom's grandma today (and that you get a nap in:))

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
