Ten days. Ten minutes. Ten steps. Behind. Always behind. That is how I've been feeling the last two months. Some days more than others. Today is one of those "more" days. It might have something to do with being sick all weekend.. or perhaps it's more about my struggle with prioritizing, time management, and a general lack of self control. I'm not sure if I really want to go there mentally or on this blog right now. For pete sake I already bawled in front of Alec's teacher when I arrived 10 minutes late to pick him up from preschool... an experience that I fear left both Ms. Lynch and I wondering about my sanity. Alec was fine. I was a mess. I hate it when my children act more emotionally mature about things than I do. Sigh.
For now I leave you with a picture of the littlest princess in our house.
In this picture I swear she's holding back her chuckles at my seemingly almost constant dramatics saying,
"Hang in there, Mom! It will all be okay."
She's right. It all will be okay and it's likely that someday these crazy times will seem like small fries.
Thanks for being my cheerleader, my beautiful amazing Little One.
Some days I feel like I can use all the encouragement I can get.

If it weren't 10:43pm in Iowa right now I would call you this instant!
This is me cheering you on from Utah---YOU CAN DO IT!
It does get easier, I promise. Just trust me on this one, ok?
And just so you know, I have to tell myself multiple times a day to chill out...someday I'll get there...and hopefully my kids won't need therapy because they've had to be my guinea pigs while I figure this whole thing out...
Cordy's cheeks are so cute and her sheepish smile just kills me! I would pay money to know what she's thinking about in that picture!
We need to chat soon! Remember, I'm cheering for you! Don't forget to cheer for me, too...:)
You can do it, you can do it!
What a gorgeous picture! Good job, Chrissy. You are becoming quite the photographer.
Oh how I LOVE that little one!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE snuggle her neck for me!
You mean I'm not the only one that wants to bawl because family is coming over in a week while I cook my first Thanksgiving dinner and the house is a wreck, I don't know how long to defrost the turkey or what stuffing to buy, I am still in pjs at noon, I have lost Rebecca's shoes, and Rebecca just broke my one good salt shaker... and now she is in the trash can! Ak!
We're all in this thing called motherhood together! Hang in there!
It's overwhemling and hard. Sometimes we need to cry. (do you remember the time I bawled while going through the Wendy's drive through. that poor drive through boy. I know he thought I was insane. I could see the pity in his eyes and in the way he said "I hope you have a good day"...as I sobbed and drove away). I had just taken all three kids to the doctor by myself, had all three of them screaming bloody murder, and no husband within a thousand miles.
My point is, this thing called motherhood is hard. And somedays/moments/stages are harder than others. But we are each others cheerleaders. We can do it. YOU can do it! I echo what Sarita :) said. It does get better, trust us. It might never be easy. But lets be honest, once these babies come into our lifes, is it ever "easy" :) I'm going on to long, this should have been an email! Gald Cordy was there to cheer you along. Love her little face!
This is simply precious! It captures her personality so well. Can't wait until Jan. 1!
