lost__________if found please return to ME!!!

I have been missing my laptop chargers (both laptops) for TWO weeks..not one, but two..

I am missing the cable to my Cannon

I am missing the cable to my Panasonic

I am missing the 16 gb card

I am missing my two favorite tank tops that aren't made anymore by modbe

I am missing a christmas present for Jackie..it is somewhere

I am missing Mia's birth certificate

I am missing one of my favorite havaianas flip flops (just one)

I am missing my favorite pink flower for my hair

I am missing more than 50% of the makeup I buy

I am missing my favorite black tunic top..haven't worn in at least a month

I am missing 2 heat tools for card making..

I am missing...my MIND!!!


Ok, I think the point has been made. Every year I say, this is the year..the year of ME getting ORGANIZED..it NEVER happens! I don't have that gift. I lose everything. I lose my phone at least twice a day, my debit card once a week, checks I need to deposit ALL the time, clothes, stamps, everything that I touch..like magic dissapears!

If anyone..anyone has any suggestions..call me at 555-LOST..it's my hotline.

a better tomorrow.

So, it is 10:45 and I am listening to Carter get food...again. He is obviously growing and can't seem to sleep because his belly is always empty. As I sit here and think how amazing he is..I think about how UN amazing I can be.

I thought it would be easier as the kids got older. All it means is that their problems, clothes, appetite and schedules get bigger. :)

I never forget how blessed I am, but some days I need a time out..from myself~I am by no means a perfect mother and lose my cool, and in turn have to ask for forgiveness. Jamie and I always have the conversation about the refiners fire. I must need lots of refinement. Most days I pray..help me be better today than I was yesterday. Most days I nail it, other times I miss miserably and feel like an EPIC failure.

I wonder why I hang on to the failure for days?

I just hate that I get frustrated by small things when I look around and see how blessed I am to have only the challenges I have, which are minor.

I sometimes, like I said..need a time out to reflect on how blessed I am. How to laugh at the ridiculous things that happen in my house on a daily basis. My house is filled with love, LOTS of laughter, even more humor and I forget that. I get pulled down into this attitude of focusing on that "one bad thing" or that "one bad comment" someone said..Its a total waste of time. So tomorrow, I pray, I am better than today :)

Christmas Break OVER!!??!!

It just wasn't long enough. I love the time with the kids and man, were we busy this break. The bummer was that there was LOTS and LOTS of puking. We got a super bad stomach bug and everyone felt it in one way or another. We also shared with my sisters, mom, and Mia's friend Madison :(

I am immensely thankful for my family. I LOVE playing games. We are a game family. We played Catch Phrase, Trivia, Uno Attack, Farkle, Life, Loops, Headbands, Guesstures to just name a few that I think of. We also played many many games on the Kinect. The best part was having my sister home from Laramie, Mush,FINALLY getting whole family pictures, and SOCK WAR!!!

I am typing this thinking about Carter's birthday....which is today! I can't believe it. I will post separately about that AMAZING kid..but wow, he really is!! Tomorrow, just the two of us, are going to Billings. I am so excited for a day with just him. :) It doesn't happen near enough and I am happy that we are doing it :)

I am going to get pictures of our Christmas up here soon. :) Happy New Year!!!
