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 ...

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...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
