So here comes another May....seems like life just keeps flying by me at an alarming rate. Today was really one of those good slow days that I haven't had in a really long time. Everything gets to be so fast paced that you don't get to enjoy anything. This week I can honestly say I've enjoyed myself despite my unwillingness to sit my arse at home and just be.
So this week we spent our time cleaning and rearranging things in the house. I've all but given up on the fact of moving in the next five years so getting used to being here and making this house work for the long haul which is somewhat comforting....more than I thought it would be. I was set on leaving and just calling it quits , but I honestly think with all the little things there was a reason we chose this place..I just needed some gentle reminding.
On other news we went to Chattanooga with Kevin for a little mini vacation and it turned out great exception of the first five minutes when Mealie got pistol whipped w/ a wooden rubber band gun by her brother and started shooting blood out of her forehead... that was where I just wanted to go home, but she was fine just pinched that little bit of skin above the vein so looked way worse than it was.
We went to the aquarium, some little shops, and some really great restaurants so I am really looking forward to the next time we get to go.
So updates on the kidlets
Amelia- She is doing great, pulled up on her own and started saying Mama while in Chattanooga. Crawling like a champ she really does move like a Mealie worm she doesn't crawl so much as she rolls her belly along with her arms and toes.
William- He did great on the trip other than the beginning. He's been great and I think this whole week being home really helped. He's starting to say sentences and has been helping out with Mealie. This morning and evening he nursed his stuffed animals , yesterday he tried to get Mealie to nurse and i had to explain why he couldn't/ why she didn't want to :P
I got myself a crock pot and I am looking forward to getting some recipes to use in it even though most slow cooking recipes are more winter based dishes I will find something. I also got Kevin a table saw for $10 at a yard sale so he's content at the moment. Everything seems so be going well...despite my constant never ending cycle of stuff that always comes up.. ( cause when stuff stops happening... you're dead) I am trying to take things moment to moment.
Things aren't guaranteed and they can always get worse, that's just how life works. I just need to focus on my sweet babies and let the chips fall where they may. I'm in love with them and watching them grow up.. it's an extremely bitter sweet love and honestly the most painful feeling I have because I know it will all end someday.. which makes this day priceless.
At leastI have realized this at 23...
In love with with everything that lives,
Elizabeth
