Deep thoughts...

I wish...

I wasn't prone to canker sores.
life wasn't so busy and chaotic.
our fixer upper would have sold.
we weren't landlords and Nathan wasn't fixing a water heater right now.
dishes weren't waiting for me in the kitchen.
I would have gotten braces several years ago when I had the chance.
junk food didn't taste so damn good.
I didn't whine.
we lived closer to family.
one of my sisters were here right now.
I could get out of my funk.
Nater was at home with me every day.
my camera wasn't getting fixed right now.
for people all around the world (that needs a list of it's own).
I wasn't always wondering what was next and I could just live in the present.
I was more patient with my kids.
I could be more laid back.
I didn't need to sleep.
for a thunderstorm right now.
upon a star.

    Your getting spring fever. Its going around.... don't beat yourself up over it. Kels and I have it as well.
    You'll probably feel better in a few weeks when the sun shines nice and warm.

  4. Maybe you're pregnant because I've been in a funk of my own for the last 12 weeks. Everything makes me cry. I can't change poopy diapers cause I wanna puke. Listening to screaming children drives me crazy. Just the thought of being at home all day wears me out. Pregnancy clouds your memory because I don't really remember what it was like to be "normal" - I mean not pregnant

  5. With a few exceptions, that's what my wishlist would look like, too. You're not alone, girlfriend.

    We'll come down there and make your life a living hell for a few days. Then things won't seem so bad otherwise.

  9. I wish I could come babysit, and give you a gift certificate for the nearest hotel so you could go relax and do nothing. You know that I tremendously admire what you do, since I have a hard enough time with two.

    Also, on the Birukee snuggling issue, I was/am completely obsessed with whether certain behaviors are personality driven or attachement issues. Aster is clingy and snuggly all the time. She often cries these days if other people look at her. Ruth is so independent, friendly and adventurous, she barely pays attention to me. But I do notice that when Ruth meets somebody new, she will very quickly look at me, a 1/2 second glance, like checking to make sure its okay, before she engages them, and that makes me happy. Same experiences, completely different personalities. So hard to know what is attributable to nature v. nurture.
