what to say...

I've started and stopped, started and stopped on writing an entry this past week ~ nothing was flowing.

I could of wrote about my sweet little girl turning 22 months old, on the brink of being 2! How she's such a funny, sweet pea but then can turn around and be a little monster and has us asking "where the heck is our daughter?" i guess this is what they call the terrible two's and maybe some might say "payback!" but overall she's the joy in my life and i wouldn't trade being her mom for the world.

i could of wrote about so many countless other goings ons in my life but nothing seemed quite right... and I guess still don't.

i could of wrote how i got so sick I felt like i was going to die and then how the rest of the family got so sick i truly wanted to die and how we've all just got better in the last week and how that was way to long

i could of wrote about how i miss feeling joyful and happy and all over good but how i'm trying to move forward and be positive and grateful for all that i have

i could of wrote of how i feel so busy and just can not cross anything off the lists that i feel like i'm drowning some days

i could of wrote of how being a working mom SUCKS sometime so bad that I just want to curl up in bed with my sweet girl and read her books all day long so she calls out to me in the middle of the night instead of her dad. how i know that is so selfish and wrong but how that's how i feel.

but i didn't - i felt it better off to just be quiet and be with my own thougths until i burst ...so here i am bursting a bit....but feeling better...

the weather has been beautiful and we've been outside enjoying it and it totally has me jones-ing for summer and the much needed beach - time!

I'm really enjoying 3191 ~ such a cool idea and i just love the way the photos speak.

this sounds very familiar. i know that feeling of too much to do and not enough grace to navigate it well. but it was such a relief when my best friend told me i didn't have to be perfect to be a great mom. my son is turning out to prove her right. you're a great mom, stef! keep on going!

i've been enjoying 3191 too...such amazing pics

i'm a working mom too so i know some of what you're talking about...there are days that leaving him at daycare breaks my heart...there are 9 hours of every day that i have no idea what he's doing, what he's feeling, what he's experiencing...it totally sucks...
