Friday Freenzy

So I reflected on a

few things today

I try way to hard to be

perfect

I read others blogs

and want to be as good

I see other moms and want to be

well, as good

I see websites and want

to do it all

I see my kids

and want to give them

every moment

of my time

without

ever raising my voice

I want to write thank-you notes

all day long

to let others know

how much they mean to me

I don't want to ever get

that flutter feeling

in my chest

you know the panic feeling

that I am in a rush,

or that everything is not perfect

I want to enjoy

and not try to be better then anyone

ever

I want to just enjoy

and know that what I am doing

is better

then most

I watched Regis's last day today

I actually teared up

He said this,

he said you do better then most

We don't realize what an impact we have

when we focus so much on what we are not

instead of what we are

Someone once told me

that when you get stressed because you want to

write it all

or say it all

or do it all

not to

because someone else has already

written about it

said it

or is doing it

We don't have to write it all

say it all

or do it all

I have so much to write say and do though

Which reminds me of a verse about

taking it one day at a time

one breath at a time

and not to be anxious

for anything

yes anything

really, anything

Now that is something

that gives me peace.

We had a blessed day

Went shopping for Christmas

Drank coffee

Had a pizza and game night

Missed my Bo at MeMe's

Almost finished Walkers scrapbook

Was it a perfect day

why yes it was...

because it was not perfect

It was better then perfect...

Baylen trying very hard to get all the juice out of his orange....it is his fifth one...after water pizza and strawberries....
Daddy won hands down, and Samantha and I decided he is VERY annoying at this game, it made us laugh....but wow!
Samantha being her usual, silly, after daddy, yet again one another game, this time Princess Wishes, which Samantha decided would be fun to put on as eyes...kinda spooky, you can't see this but she is wearing full on ariel pj's....and yes she picked a princess game...made mommies night...oh yea!
Who said you have to spend 20 bucks and two strawberry margareta's! These are hot off the press from Katy's kitchen.....I even threw in the strawberry....and no I did not give one to Samantha....
Baylen enjoyed his bath with Sam, it was amazing with Bo gone how quiet and un eventful it was...and there was still water in the tub when they were done
This is one of thirty magazines the kids have gone through in the past week, love it so much! They have been so circled, and cut and loved....
Here is Samantha's final top ten list...after many drafts....yet she informed me that she was not doing her final copy until tomorrow. Note two very important details...First, she scratched out her numbers where she ranked them...she so is me, and no I did not teach her that. Second, she has a "rock tumbler" and and "Snoopy snow cone maker" on her list, may I say those are two items I always had on my list and never got...so funny...note she will not be getting either...
