I turned...

26 this past Tuesday! I am trying to have a better outlook about getting older but honestly, is a tad depressing...
anywho, I didn't do much out of the norm that day..the only 'abnormal' thing is Lacey came over to talk for a little while..well, I talked and she listened..it seems like whenever I get adult interacting I drink it in as fast as I can.Things are going pretty well around here..Claire is doing new things ALL the time and she just loves to flash her smile..after all, she did work hard for those teeth she has..lots of pain and keeping momma awake :)

It seems like I have don't have time to myself a lot..and when I do, I always try to hurry what I'm doing..be it, take a bath, do Bible study,etc to be with Claire again..I know, I just need to slow down. I need to let Joe spend some quality time with her..whenever I hear him getting annoyed because she's being ornery and just won't stop, I feel like I need to rush in and save the day..I know that I know, I need to let him do it..I just need some encouragement to do such a thing I guess..
it's 7:10 in the morning..I've been up since about 6:15 and I think Claire will sleep till about 8:30..giving me I hope a couple hours of "me time". I don't ever wake up early to have time for "me time" as maybe I should. I might feel a little less guilty about having no time for God and maybe not feel as burnt out..don't you love it when you have epihanies (sp) when your writing?!?!
