this hearts on fire

my haircut

I went to vancouver and i got a haircut (see up there) and i got a sad heart.

But then! I came home and it was spring and not just spring but practically summer!

Today we took the hammock out and i worked in the garden. I even raked up all the little bits of gravel from the driveway that had worked their way down the steps at the side of the house and filled up pot holes on the driveway.

Holy crap. Now THAT is exciting!

Seriously, when i am away from my home and shane, i lose all touch with reality. With the things that are important. The little beings that fill my heart with joy. The husband who loves me and i love to bicker with and make up with. Who drives me crazy by hanging his towel over the shower door every morning instead of on the rack when he know's i'm going to come in right after him and have to hang it up. That's what family is. Stinky socks, smelly morning breath, tickles in bed and toilets flushed while mommies are in the shower.

Parker is still trying to kill me. Seriously. Every night he wakes up several (and by that i mean at least six) times before i even get to bed. It is so frustrating not getting more than twenty minutes alone. But, you know, life is short and so am i. So today i realized that soon enough all of this will be over. Parker will be 3 and then 4 years old and i will have no more babies. I need to cherish every single frustrating moment like it's my last. Because it is.

why yes i am grumpy as hell

Amen to your post.

you are AMAZING.

I am sorry about the sad heart. But I do like the haircut very much.

You know --I have read two bloggers this week who told their babies that daddy would be getting up with them in the middle of the night?
And neither baby cried out again.
I want to keep them small too - but sleep! SLEEP is very important.

Your haircut is amazing, and your kids are just too cute. The sleep thing is hard...can't help ya with that one....my 5 year old baby still crawls into bed with us.

I'm in Abbotsford. If ya ever want to meet up next time you're in Vancouver......

YEah I hear ya. But I kinda like sleep too. I'll just find something else to cherish :)

I tell myself things like this when my three under 6 are making me feel nuts. Which is often. I repeat "this too shall pass"...a lot.

You're gorgeous and so are your kids. I've been way out of pocket...for reasons I'll blog about later. I'm ready to hit my harden with a hoe and a rake. Trip to the plant nursery is on the calendar for Saturday.

Cute 'do!

I hate it when I catch myself looking too far into the future. I can't wait for summer, I acn't wait til they can walk I can't wait until they can dress themselves. And then all those moments in between will be gone and I will miss them. Savour every annoying moment. And look back and laugh a lot.
