I've been in a blogging slump. Earlier this week, I poured my heart into a long (very long) blog post. It was deep and introspective. And boring. Therapy perhaps, but nothing that anyone else would want to read...except for maybe a therapist. Therefore, I never published it.
So today, I just thought I would jot down the random thoughts and insights I've had over the past few weeks. Here goes.
It's all about perspective.
My boys are in serious need of a haircut.
I'm in serious need of a hairstyle.
Looking at the past, I realize God's timing is perfect...although it never seems that way in the present.
I wouldn't survive without Diet Mt. Dew.
Losing 5 lbs. makes you feel like a new person - so does gaining 5 lbs.
We're always making an impression, so smile even if you don't feel like it. Your mood will eventually change, but the impression won't.
I know God answers prayer, but I'm always so floored when he does.
We are so very lucky to live here in the U.S.
Pico de gallo is a great low-calorie condiment but is horrible for the breath and love life.
I can't watch The Biggest Loser without crying hysterically.
I can't watch Modern Family without laughing hysterically.
I need to spend more time with my boys...not just in the same room with them, on the couch with them or pushing the cart that they're riding in.
I will never finish decorating my house. Ever.
The Muppets are timeless.
If a color makes me happy, I should splash it on my (dining room) walls.
My little guy is an awesome south paw.
My big guy is as emotional as I am.
I need to read my bible more.
And pray.
My toenails seriously need to be painted - the "Christmas Red" is chipping.
Sometimes we need to cry - for no big reason but a lot of little built up reasons.
Dreams (the past two nights) can be really weird.
I have a wonderful family.
I have a weird family.
I miss my family.
If you own two ten-year-old cars, they will inevitably break down the same week.
It's amazing what a lit candle can do for my mood, right about 4pm.
I really need to shave my legs. Really.
Although I worry about us growing out of our house, to our boys, it's a mansion...and I'm grateful.
I love my boys. All three of them.
There's a lot more to this whole blogging world than I realized.
I've probably missed a lot of great moments and opportunities because my head was in my arss.
I need to get my head out of my arss.
I'm proud of my mom.
I don't need to keep apologizing to the world for stupid things I've done - no one really cares anyway! :)
I'm hungry. Time for breakfast.

I do not go a day without my head filled with random thoughts! Some of them I decide to get done...others I have no control over.
You are a wonderful Mom. Your boys are so blessed to have you as their Mom.
Thank you for helping me see things that I need to focus on in my life, too.
Thank you for giving me something encouraging to read with my morning coffee.
And, hey- I'm proud of your mom, too!
Love ya!
Where did you get all this writing skill? Maybe I should start a blog, but would anyone read it?
Love you, looking forward to seeing you guys Sunday!
For what it's worth, I have shaved my legs, painted my toenails a non-Yuletide shade, read my devotional, stayed clear of the pico de gallo (even though its oniony-cilantro goodness is calling my name) and played with my boys. And even though I've watched 2 re-runs of The Real Housewives of Orange County...I think it's a step :)
Thanks for the comments!!!!
I LOVE this!!! Thanks!
