Soooo many things to blog about and just not enough darn time to sit and write them. I have so many projects to work on, which I am THRILLED about...it just makes me sad that I don't have the time I'd like to have to sit and work on them like I'd like. I get up everyday (just in enough time to shower, get dressed, get Reese up and going and get us both lunch and breakfast and out the door), take Reese to Melissa's, get to work, WORK, go get Reese, go home, cook dinner, try to play with Reese who is hugging my leg begging for attention, eat & get Reese dinner, give him a bath, sit on the couch to watch a tv show of mine, get Reese in the bed, then finally it's almost 9 and I'm ready for bed myself. (Rhett works late hours so when he's home, he helps when he can...don't get me wrong) It is just stressful and frustrating at the same time because painting or drawing is like my "me time" or my "therapy". I just enjoy doing it, even if I don't draw a straight line on a canvas and it irritates the crap out of me. So needless to say I get to do my "third job" on the weekends, if there is time. I consider it my third job because my first job is being a wife/mommy, second...a teacher/ mother to 19 precious 4 year olds, and third is my hobby that luckily I can make a little "extra" money from.
I'll be sad next week while Rhett is out of town. Let me rephrase that...I'll be sad, lonely and extremely busy! Monday will be a good day...my mom is going with me to the dr to see Baby #2 on the big screen while they do some genetic testing for down syndrome. I was really torn as to whether or not I should have it done. (There is like a 5% chance that it could come back as a false positive) I want to see my baby and because I don't know what my family history holds I kinda want to make sure everything is going smoothly so far. PLUS, insurance covers genetic testing so I don't have to worry about paying for it. I have faith that all will be ok and if something is not ok then it will be ok in the long run. God is in charge and I have to remind myself that he is the creator/Father of this baby and he is the one helping s/he grow. On a side note, for all of you mommies out there...how stinking amazing is it when you have a tiny life growing inside of you for 9 months and it's birthday finally comes and you get to meet that little life face to face? I kept saying to Rhett and to myself over and over on May 8th "HOW IN THE WORLD DO PEOPLE NOT BELIEVE IN GOD!?!?...especially after seeing a tiny life brought into this world who grew from what two people got together and made? It just blew me away and made me just see the beauty in life and all that God does for us. WOW and THANK YOU is all I have to say!
Well, I'm off. I hope to post a new blog from the snow with some actual pictures and not all words. :)
