bsmiles and sunny days

I am in love with this kid. He is funny, and brilliant, and helpful... He is also a volatile adolescent boy with extreme pickiness issues, but he is also awesome. Who cares about that other stuff!

I guess it's not my phone's fault. I just can't seem to get used to this touch screen. I need to stay on the ball wi th writing, no matter how annoying the word predictor is.  For you, I will tolerate it. For the past few weeks, we have been running like crazy, which makes me crazy. Then when I do have a free day, instead of catching up on housework and school, I just want to sit and talk to my kids. That would be awesome if I didn't wander around aimlessly in the mess after they move on from our conversation. So here I am smothering under the anxiety that a messy house causes me. It makes me feel like crying and throwing up. It's a bad feeling... You know drinking regular coffee aggrivates the situation all the more, which I did this morning. The thing is, I found this breakfast blend that I just love... Remind me to only drink it when I have a chance to run the anxiety out! I am looking forward to going home this weekend to escape the busyness. My mom's house ...

She's coocoo for Mountain Dew!

She has dreamt about this day for a long, long time. When we left California, I really hoped to get Kennedy plugged into a dance studio right away. I got pregnant and those hopes went out the window. You can imagine my surprise when we found out that Elisha, one of the ladies in our home fellowship was trained in ballet and teaching classes. She was happy to offer private ballet lessons to my little dreamer... And she is living the dream en pointe!

Dear Wireless Keyboard, I miss you sooo much. You have a direct connection you from my fingers to the current of my thoughts. You always know how to spell the words that I am writing. You never try to predict them with jibberish or espanol. I can set you on my lap and write to my heart's content and my fingers don't cramp up. I secretly hate my smartphone. It doesn't respect language the way you do. Someday, sweet keyboard, we will be together again... Lvb

We are in the car driving home from my sister-in-law's 40th birthday party. Little Bit has been crying almost the whole hour. She is the last one to get the sickies and has taken the hardest hit. I think we are past the fever, but if you think of her, pray for her to get over it completely! She needs to feel better! Lvb
