If you need me...I answer to MOMMY!

So...I'm not sure where the need for this is stemming from, but I have a pretty good idea. It started, as most of my fits of creativity do these days, as I was trying my very best to drift off to sleep. I was caught up on the most exciting part of my day which just happened to be doing a "potty" dance for my two year to the tune of La-Cu-Ca-Ra-Cha. After spending the better part of my day in a hyper state over tinkerbell underwear and as many special treats as I could muster for even the smallest drop of pee-pee in the potty I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I couldn't help but think of my mother. She was me once. But, I really don't ever think of her that way. Young, slightly frazzled, pretty even without make-up, and completely devoted to potty dances, markers, playgrounds, playing kitchen, and reading books.


My Mom and I not so long ago...

So I'm realizing that where I go from here is where I see my mother now. And I think even more than that I'm realizing where I go from here is something I've never put a whole lot of thought into. I think in a lot of my scenarios my life didn't play out past 25, the unchartered territory of children and motherhood and reaching thirty was something I knew nothing about and my brain just didn't go there. So, I turn 27 at the end of this month. My husband just turned 30. And as I stared at the reflection of "mommy-me" in the mirror, freshly showered, no make-up, hair brushed (but no time to be dried) I wondered where I was going. Which is how I arrived, wide awake at midnight when I should have been fast asleep, at the conclusion that I would start a blog! I have a website, it is my best attempt at some sort of Left Brained creativity. But, I love to write...I forgot that, but I do. So, I think that I will give myself this little space to share what is going on with our cozy little threesome which currently resides in what can only be described as picturesque Whidbey Island.

The grayness of the sky sometimes tends to threaten a sunny disposition, but we try not to let that stop us from enjoying the view and appreciating a pretty awesome part of God's amazing canvas. I've always been a planner...but I sort of like this new realization that I don't have much of a plan for me. As I watch this baby turning into such a beautiful little girl right before my very eyes I feel completely reassured Someone else has a plan for me...I'm just along for the ride.
