Randomness

Lately life has been complicated and dramatic.

Too complicated. Entirely too dramatic.

In the midst of life being all complicated and dramatic...

Miss Abby girl turned two months. She is such a joy and lights me up. She has that sweet gummy smiley that she opens her whole mouth to give you. She has started laughing where it sounds like she is sucking in air which cracks me up and then she laughs a little more. She HATES being laid down. She wants to be sitting up and seeing all the action. I will be so glad when she can sit up alone and can play more.

Thomas is about to turn three and his speech has just exploded. He CRACKS us up at the stuff he says. He has such a sense of humor! Some recent Thomas sayings...

Mommy: Thomas what do you want for your birthday?
Thomas: Ummmmmm CAKE!
Mommy: How about some cars? Some trains for your Geo Trax? Something for outside?
Thomas: Ummmmmmmm nope! Monkey Cake!

Mommy: Thomas you need to close my bedroom door.
Thomas: What are you talking about?

One evening the kids were painting. Thomas painted about ten different pictures onto construction paper. When they were done he hung all of his pictures onto the fridge. This was that conversation...

Mommy: Good job buddy! What is this one a picture of?
Thomas: Pizza Guy.
Mommy: What is this in the picture?
Thomas: Pizza maker.
Mommy: And what is that in the corner of the picture?
Thomas. Pizza.
...Now repeat the conversation for all ten pictures.

Today he was throwing a fit because I wouldn't let him go outside with the hubby. I told him that if he was going to be ugly then he was going to go lay down on his bed or he could be nice and he could go outside after getting dressed. His fit INSTANTLY stopped and he said, Thomas is nice :) About an hour later he was throwing a fit again and I carried him into his room and set him on his bed. Told him he could come out when he was all better. He stood up, INSTANTLY stopped crying and while pointing at his eyes says, I am all better. See. No more crying.

Emily has started back to school. We started on a set schedule last Monday. The first day was BAD BAD BAD!!!! The hubby stepped in on day two and things have vastly improved. It is so much better going at it as a team than alone.

Also, in the midst of life being entirely too complicated and entirely too dramatic, I have learned some things about myself. I have also learned God REALLY needs to be in the neon sign business because that would be a much clearer way to give answers. Instead, I continue to seek his guidance. To pray. To wait. To pray. To trust in his time, in his knowledge, As I seek his guidance through prayer it doesn't change some things though. I am MAD. I am ANGRY. I am SAD. I am FRUSTRATED. I want ANSWERS.
