(paused to help a crying baby) <br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">this morning i was talking to my sister and she was telling me of a friend of ours that had given us both the sweetest heartfelt compliment. our friend said that we inspire her. how sweet is that!? Me...I inspire someone? Then i started thinking of all the other people who have given me so many wonderful compliments since the twins were born. I am always getting, "Wow, you must be busy!" "How do you do it all?" (pause to help a different crying baby.) "You are awesome." (pause to help 1st crying baby again.) The truth is, I don't. I can't do it all. I tried and my family and I were miserable. I have learned to let things go <strike>a lot</strike> a bit and that is more than okay. (pause to help both crying babies)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
well after talking with Joli, I looked around my home and saw what the Lord had so graciously given me blinders to. There was<strike> is</strike> stuff everywhere. I had an overwhelming feeling to invite everyone over to see that "I don't do it all". I know that is not possible (mainly because I would then need to shower) so I decided to pick up my camera and show you all. (pause to help a crying baby that is now on my lap) <br />

So, I am happy to say that 75% of the MESS in those pictures is cleaned up...but it was done with the help of miss gracelyn and during nap time. (pause to go get the other crying baby) The other 25% can wait. It does not have to ALL be done. (pause for crying baby...i guess they don't want me to do this) </div> <br />
okay...where was I. After all that crying, pooping, and vomit, I have no idea what else I wanted to say. So, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. <br />

Each thing that I have done has caused me to do two or three additional things and made somewhat of a <strike>huge </strike>mess. That's not cool. But, I do feel a sense of pride in finishing what I have. Tomorrow and Thursday may not be that productive. Tomorrow Little Miss and I are going over to a friend's house who lives near a lake to have a Lake Date. Super Excited!! And on Thursday, we are going to a Mommy and Me play date. Super Excited about that too...I miss all the moms and their cuties!! I still get chills at the thought of ME getting to go to a Mommy and Me group where I am one of the mommies. Wow, our God is AWESOME! <br />

</ul><div></div>Okay, I feel a little better about My List after seeing today's list with it. No wonder I am tired. It's a great tired. Grace was tired too. I stopped to eat her face and get her "cozy" in her bed with her baby Abby. She gave her paci to the dolly and made sure she was "cozy cozy"....oh, how I love her!! So now I am going to get "cozy" with my Mr. Big Love. <br />
<div></div><br />
I hope you all are having a productive week too. I will quote Charles Ingalls (Little House on the Prairie), "God put sweat in a man's body to work". LOL...Joli, that was for you....and I guess me. I do love that show. <br />

<br />
Not too bad for Day 1. One thing that I forgot....most of these project require lots of work before you can do the project. So, should that count as doing more than one project? I think maybe. I also forgot that Mr. Love is working everyday for the next 10 days and I will have Little Miss all by myself. I hope she wants to be mommy's helper girl! I will keep you updated on my progress. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Shortly after we lost our second set of triplets, God opened my eyes to my worldliness. I had set my mind and heart on all the wrong things. I was so consumed with grief over our loses that I lost sight of everything that was important. Expensive furniture and over priced curtains are not what make a nursery special. The memories that were going to be made in that room would be what make it special. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Farah Elisabeth, who is three, graciously allowed Little Miss (who still wears a size 2 at eight months old) to wear her shoes so that she could ride…I guess she knew the pain of not getting to ride. The ride attendant just smiled and laughed at us when we sat down and the shoes plopped off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBv1UBX6O7pxiFrl6MtVpdHIh9YKSZQ04M_APfJJGoJ_HxdRhcHAncQyd15RKRcC5YE_w1dQZYz_G3QSNRzXPJoH0Uzzi_Ke2_j7JbPPpaEbqo0wcMtrHb0ou5FrJbc_Ud8ADcvGQ-wF0/s1600/IMG_7372c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBv1UBX6O7pxiFrl6MtVpdHIh9YKSZQ04M_APfJJGoJ_HxdRhcHAncQyd15RKRcC5YE_w1dQZYz_G3QSNRzXPJoH0Uzzi_Ke2_j7JbPPpaEbqo0wcMtrHb0ou5FrJbc_Ud8ADcvGQ-wF0/s320/IMG_7372c.jpg" /></a></div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I adore my nieces and nephews, sister, and brother-in-law. While there, I helped Joli redo her dining room and living room. We should have taken before and after pictures. Everything turned out amazing. We had such a wonderful time despite five of the kids getting a stomach virus and fears.<br />

Little Miss looked like she grew while I was gone. Her hair looked longer tonight. She talked more…I guess she was trying to tell me about her day. It made me sad that I’d missed it all. I’m so thankful that Ms. Amy, our nanny, loves on her for me while I have to work. I couldn’t do it if not for her. She is sleeping now and I miss her…physically miss her—my heart hurts.
