They say terrible 2's, but with Tay, it has definitely been worse since she turned 3. She was sad here because Jake wanted to take a picture of her before Ballet Class, she just wanted to go! 
If you'll notice, Rohne has yet another injury on his nose. At least it's not broken.
Ya know how, as a mom, it is quite easy to fall into a trap. The days begin to drift together, tasks seem monotonous, and you can't wait until the weekend for Daddy to be home. You forget what makes you click, who are you other than just a mother and wife. Even if none of you want to know. . . Here are a few stressors I have right now.
*Kids and husband - I really want to be a good wife and mother. How can I use my time more productively to accomplish this.
*Dinner - I never know what to make, and even if I just went to the grocery store, we don't have any food.
*Working out - I am supposed to run a half marathon in November, and I hate running right now. I have to force myself out the door, with a little push from Jake. Hoping it is just a "Runner's Wall." I read about it once.
*TV - I know I shouldn't watch so much TV. It was Premiere Week for all of my shows, and none of them were actually very good. But, if it quit watching, how else would I fill my time? I love it, and I don't have any hobbies.
*Friends - I feel like I need a friend. Someone close by whom I can just call and chat with, and do girls nights with. My sisters have always been those people. I still talk to them all the time, but I miss them terribly!!! Why won't my family just move up here? This move hasn't been the easiest thing for me to accept.
Following in Collette's footsteps, this has become kind of my journal, since I don't keep another one. Sorry if that bores you all to death. It feels better to just rant sometimes. I have a great life, I do. My husband loves me more than I ever thought anyone could. My children light up my life, and are the greatest blessings I could ever ask for. We do not lack in material necessities, and I even get to buy fun things once in awhile. (I recently got Gilmore Girls seasons 1-6 at Costco for an early birthday present. Yippee!!!) Everyone is healthy, and fairly happy, and I know that the Lord is watching out for us.

In a Rut

Emily, Emily! You put into words exactly how I've been feeling for the last little while. I was meant to read your blog today! It's nice to know I'm not alone. I know that I am tremendously blessed. We are all healthy and happy. But I still feel isolated and discontent lately (is that a word). Let me know how you get out of the rut!! I'll keep you posted, too.
Me again....It made me smile to read that you love Gilmore Girls as much as me! We watched Season 1-6 on Netflix. We (even Jason...no, he's not a girlie-man) were sad when it was over. I wasn't way into it when they were on TV, so I haven't seen the last season yet. I have to wait until November for it to come out on DVD!!!
Girls, if we only lived near each other. I've felt the same way too. Maybe its a girl thing, living far from family. Let me in on the secret...
I good to know that we are not alone. I am always looking and wanting that friend whom I felt really close to. As far as dinners are concerned, I have started planning them out in advance. It is hard in the planning stage because it may take some time and imagination (and some time set aside for kiddie interruptions)but it has paid off for us ten fold. I can just look at the calendar and know if I need to thaw meat or any other preparation. For me the hardest thing was thinking of something to eat for dinner. It also saves us a lot of dough on our grocery bill. Let me know if you need some ideas.
That sounds like me (minus the exercising and tv shows). I spend a lot of time online chatting with friends, but it's not the same as friends you hang out with. :(
