Where is the summer going?

It is going by soooooooooo fast! Even the days go by in a blink of an eye. And I am not the only one commenting on this fact! I feel like somethings going on! Weird! And lately, it seems a lot of others negativity and crabbiness is wearing off on me, and I am NOT liking it! I am fighting it tooth and nail it seems, the last couple of days...

I think I am winning.

I hope.

It's called prayer, perserverance, and a little gin and tonic.

Just kidding.

A little!

Anyway...

I guess I am just a little down because lately it seems some people are spitting to the wind at the blessings in their life...like they're slapping them right in the face and saying, " Ha, ha!"
I mean, there are some that I know that should be down right grateful, thankful...praising God for what he's done for them, and it hasn't even been a thought.

Tom and I were talking the other night about how "dirt poor" we feel, but how blissfully happy we are at this stage of life with our kids and how we seem to get through everything with barely a whimper of anger. Pretty amazing...and I am so thankful that Tom and I communicate. Communicate respectfully, lovingly and with eachother's needs in mind, not necessarily our own.

I thank God a lot for him.

And not that we are perfect! Like today, I kept thinking..."He is going to help me sometime today with the kids, right??!!"

But then somedays I am so grateful for his help. You just never know what each day brings, it's struggles, it's surprises, it's blessings.

One thing I try to remember is that EACH day IS a Blessing. And that through Jesus, I am truly blessed with his saving Grace and Eternal Love!

Sometimes isn't it simply amazing what the power of a positive attitude can do for your life. At times I feel downright annoying at how positive I "play"...but without hope, what is there?! Life is beautiful. Even the ugly days. It's a blessing...glad to hear another like soul!!!!

Your email question intrigued me to my core...if you ever want...SHARE!!!

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...
