My brain just died!

  I am sitting here at school trying to work on one of the million papers I have due and my brain has finally died.  I need a break and it’s only Tuesday…I’m in trouble.  As I have been sitting here, I have just kind of been thinking about my family and how much I love them.  I need to document something that Cailyn said the other day, so someday when she hates me I can look back at this post and remind myself that she really did like me at one time of her life.  

Gavin had gotten a bag of cereal out and spilled it all over the kitchen floor.  Brad went into the kitchen and started picking up the marshmallows and putting them in a bowl for Cailyn because they are her favorite.  I walked in and saw what he was doing and told Cailyn that she was lucky because if it was me cleaning up the cereal it would all just go in the garbage, marshmallows and all, because I’m a mean mommy.  Cailyn’s reply to my remark was, “You’re not a mean mommy, you’re a nice mommy.”  That just melted my heart.  It’s things like that that make parenting worth it.  Of course there are other things but when you have a 2 year old that has a mind of her own and can’t sit still or listen for one second, and a one year old that ou can’t really communicate with at all, it’s things like that that makes all the frustration worth it.  The thing that kills me is how fast my kids are growing up.  I feel like time is slipping away at too fast of a rate.  I can’t wait till I’m done with school so I can spend more time watching and helping them grow.

There is one more thing that I want to say in this fine blog today.  I love my husband!  I don’t think I say that enough.  We are both so busy with school and work that it’s hard to make time for each other anymore these days.  I get frustrated to easily with life a lot of the time but no matter what, he is always there to listen to me and comfort me.  He puts up with a lot.  Words can’t really describe how I’m feeling right now.  I just really love him.  Okay, I’m done….I’m not down with the gooshy stuff.  It’s not really my thing to publicize it…whatever!

Here are some pictures that I just like a lot!

(For some reason I can’t bring myself to post an entry unless it has pictures in it.)

This is a picture of Cailyn on her 2nd birthday.  I think it brings a new meaning to “shovel it in!”

This is one of my most favorite pictures of Brad.  I love the look on his face!
