Poor me...


It was rainy and we were stuck inside and I started pondering fancy things that I feel like I deserve...I do that often when I'm bored...like how I could be a better housewife if I had one of those new age washer and dryers and how it's sort of disturbing and weird that I even figured this out...that when I have to charge my cell phone I have to clothes pin one side.
Then I was quickly reminded by my elder that those things are sure to come. Then I remembered and reminded myself that all I need I have here. And that fancy and new things that work better than others are the furthest things from important. And that in a blink I'll be 50 and surely I'll have all those things but our children will be grown and gone and only call so often...then I was reassured that life is supreme in the present.

We're happy with simplicity

You inspire me so!!!!!!!!! When things get tough, as they very often do when you stay at home w/ your little ones, you have to remember what a blessing, joy and honor it is to be able to do it.

Love you and can't wait to meet that little person inside of you!
