day 134: a fresh start

As you've noticed, I have really slacked off in this 365 project.  Pregnancy is a killer for productivity these first few months.  I've felt pretty rotten, but my biggest thing with this pregnancy was just feeling REALLY lazy, lackadaisical, and uninspired.  I seriously just want to sit on the couch and sleep.  Then, I've been feeling a little better, but I'm so behind that trying to catch up was overwhelming so I kept putting it off more.  And so, I've decided just to start from today.  I have the photos on my computer if I ever feel crazy and want to catch up, but if not, I'm fine.  I've got to let go of wanting perfection and realize that life happens.

During this 365, I will have baby #3, and I'm assuming that I will fail to post some days after that major event.  (Although I seem to be pretty motivated when I have a new baby...weird I know, but with B, I moved 6 days after he was born and didn't feel a bit stressed about that-I loved getting a new home ready with a sweet little one.  With E, I re-organized the entire home when she was about 2 weeks old.) So maybe this will work out well, if only I can gain control in the 6 months I have left.  "I will not be out-witted by my 3 and 1 year old.  I will not be out-witted by my 3 and 1 year old, I will not be out-witted by my 3 and 1 year old!"  "I refuse to go crazy with their fighting" "I will remain calm when they cry 90% of the day!" "I will soak in their adorable phrases and hugs and sticky kissed while I still have room on my lap for all of my children."

Well, hope you enjoy the pictures of our tree at sunset.  I LOVE this tree that lives right outside our bay window.  Bring on those beautiful forming leaves!
