Hi There

Hi Dear Faithful Blog Readers and Random Strangers Who Have Stumbled Upon My Blog By Accident,

I have a lot to say and also nothing to say. I have slept in 4 hour stretches or less for the past seven weeks (I AM NOT COMPLAINING. MOTHERHOOD IS A BLESSING. winkyface) And when I think about potential blog posts, they all come out in lists and who really wants to read post after posts of lists? That and I usually pick a nap or a shower over blogging.

So, with all that said. Here's a list.

10 Reasons Why Today is a Good Day

1. I spent an hour on Face Time with my bestie. We chatted, showed off our kids and chatted some more.

2. Kent came home from his overnight camping trip with the middle school boys.

3. A new hair cut (yesterday) that is still styled today

4. I spent an hour, alone, in Khol's browsing and debating which earrings to buy (with a gift card!)

5. I finally went grocery shopping and only forgot 4 items on my list.

6. Little Liza is starting to make those adorable baby gurgle noises.

7. We have left over dinner from my 75 year old German friend (more on her later). No dinner prep!

8. It's the first day of spring! This doesn't mean much to us in Florida but YAY!

9. I made Caris a little Spring Basket...in a new beach bucket because..Florida.

10. My newly engaged sister in law got our gift (a personalized tumbler cup) and likes it!

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
