So I have not gone one day in the last few weeks where I am not just head over heels in love with my kids....wait, that sounds bad! No, you know how you get in the rut of things and you just forget to take a second and realize how great you have it? You just kind of focus on keeping your head above water? Yeah, that was last month and the month before where everyone was sick and life was kinda cut-throat at the time. Its been nice. I've been able to sew a lot more, which chills me out I think, and just take more time for myself and I think its given me some perspective; that I'm good for more than just childcare and housecleaning, I AM a person with goals and dreams and I can achieve them, and my kids aren't burdens, they're gifts. Sounds cheesy, I know, but I get to see life through their eyes and kinda have a do-over! Jason always wants me to do my craft stuff more and he wants me to get back into ceramics and I always just blow him off...I have enough to do, I always say. But, with things being a little quieter, (AKA no one is sick right now), and with the summer job speedily approaching, (maybe more speedily than I thought...first of March?), I think
I'm realizing how great I have it! We don't have a lot of money...Jason's a teacher, nuff said...but I can stay home with my kids! I have a home, a car (and payment) and we are living the american dream! I spend all the rest of the year wishing for a job because I feel boring and I don't have perspective....and then when I get what I want, I get all sentimental and wishy-washy. That's irony for you. Anyway, I was just looking at some pictures we took while the kids were having fun in the tub last week! Dang, I have cute kids. They crack me up! I think Jonas knows exactly how to smile and make me cave whenever I'm trying to present a stern front....he's a flirt. He's got the best facial expressions! Kinsey is such a big girl these days that she comes home from school talking about tons of things she hears from her friends....who probably have older siblings saying all that stuff. Its nothing bad, but its a lot of "High School Musical this" and
"Hannah Montana that". She doesn't even know what those are! So funny. She also loves to help in the kitchen and make us "presents" out of toys and things she finds around the house! She is so chill these days...she is loving snuggling with us and reading books and she's not so temper-tantrum-ie. She's just my sweetheart, but still the independent and creative Kinsey we all know. Hope no one's offended by the naked bodies...! Jonas with his hands up are him saying, "Look mom, I have bubbles on my hands!", but not in so many words...I'm a mom,
I can translate! The last one is Jonas and my dad. They are like best pals! My dad can make him come out of tantrums and grumpy moods! My dad's always been great with kids and its just fun to see them together! He calls Jonas his "little blue gill". Anyway, I was just seeing my summer fly before my eyes and thinking that maybe I'll miss being home more than I've deluded myself into thinking the past few months. At least its temporary and I don't have to get locked into permanent stuff. The money will be nice, too.

So do you for sure have the job?
You do have cute kids and I know exactly what you mean! Emma doesn't really throw tantrums anymore either, but she is still dramatic, but she gets that from me and I get that from my mom so she didn't stand a chance. But now Chloe is two and throwing tantrums like crazy, oh well.
Isnt it crazy. It is crazy how fast time flies.
