Watch Out!

here she comes!!! we've been trapped inside from the cold weather trying not to go nuts! bentley has pre-school, gymnastics, time with dad, time with mom, projects, chores to earn his 'jumpaline' money, and riding his bike in the freezing cold. bridon's getting too old to take a long nap like he loves. we're working on transitioning into a shorter, earlier one. he's still crazy as ever, naughty to emry, and recently has a love for his 'knife' and screwdriver! emerson is into everything! she stands by herself, crawls everywhere, gets up onto everything, and got THREE new teeth. i will someday have an infant that has a normal sleep schedule (bentley was my only one). she pushes this little cart around until she crashes into something. me, i've been doing taxes and leaving my kids with a sitter...what a bad mom. maybe i shouldn't work. too much stuff crams into my head and then i do stuff like throw away my wedding ring and leave my wallet at old navy (that was this week). i worry that i am not realizing what i should be doing to help my kids learn and be the best they can be. you know, like when you look back on different parts of your life, and you think, 'i don't think i really got what was going on there' or 'if only i had tried to learn a little bit more about what i was in the middle of, i could have...' i better stop. i am in the process of simplifying all areas of my life if you will, i'll report back on that project later! :)
