Journaling

our yw's lesson on sunday was about journals and i came home feeling guilty about being a slacker with the blog, since currently it is my only form of a journal. so here are some notes as of late:

*we returned from an exhaustively perfect trip to "happiest place on earth". update soon.

*i'm loving the spring, though ours has started to feel more like summer. i believe we hit 90 degrees this last week. {above: my favorite tree at disneyland. what says spring more than pink blossoms?}

*it's sad to say, the suburban is officially out of commission.  we might become a mini-van family in the near future. i'm not sure how i feel about it except having a reliable car will be wonderous.

*biggest loser competition - what's that again? basically i did really awesome the first week. not so much since then. BUT, i'm not quite back up to where i started. that's good, right? positive thinking...

*i'm loving lady antebellum. it's late to jump on the bandwagon but when all you listen to in the car is "wee sing silly songs" or high school musical it's hard to get to know the latest groups and hits. better late than never.... my motto for everything.

*separating the girls into different bedrooms for nap time has done wonders for us all. the kiddos are more rested and their mom has become much more pleasant to be around.

*between work and church and money and two little kids and moving and a list a mile long of things i need to do and a separate list of things i want to do, i feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off. thankfully i have a husband who kindly says, "marie, stop running around like a chicken with your head cut off". he really does. and it makes me stop for a second, take a deep breathe, and then keep running around {you guessed it} like a chicken with it's head cut off.  somehow we're still accomplishing a little bit each day.

*i have no less than 10 posts saved as drafts - in various stages of being written, edited, or pictures uploaded. i just haven't found the motivation to do it. maybe it's partially due to the previously mentioned chicken syndrome.  i'll try to be better.

*and last but not least, someone told me something today and it made me cry- happy tears with some sad ones mixed in.  i don't know if she could tell my reaction, but i am happy for her.

very, very happy.

happy monday!
