EXTRAordinary

Great day with family being lazy and cleaning most the day away. I wish that I loved the cleanliness of hardwood flooring the way one is supposed to. I feel angry at mine because no matter how much cleaning of them you do all you have to do is turn around and there is more dust on them:( But I know, I know.... much better than carpet right. Am I the only one who ever wishes just a little to hide my filth in carpet?! LOL. Anyway- today went something like this at the our house. Slept in, cuddled all together for a while before breakfast, good breakfast, GREAT coffee, lots of cleaning inside and out, lots of laundry (of which non got put away), jam session in the living room complete with a microphone holding Logan shaking his groove thing, next Bama football (what a heart breaker), a breakfast supper of pancakes and turkey bacon, a trip to WalMart for some essentials that I couldn't pick up at Sam's last night, red box rentals, and finished up with Movie Night complete with Jiffy pop on the stove:) Fun day. Now I am sitting here contemplating what this blog needs to even be about today. I don't think that I have any emotional stuff to vent about or any grand conclusions to share. Today was a day all about normal, family stuff. But that reminds me of a quote I once read about not letting the little things pass you by because one day those little things add up to be the big things. I know that I can say without a doubt that I am really focused right now on appreciating even the little things! Everyday blessings. I have accomplished many personal goals in my life up until now, but none that compare to the accomplishment of my kiddos. I am so glad that God doesn't always give us what we think we want or need. His plan for me has been greater than any I could have ever dreamed  up for myself.  I feel blessed beyond measure. Thank you Lord for today and everyday you bless me to be with my sweet little babies.

Holy $#%*

do you think work is bad?!? ok, so if you think that you had a bad day today at the office, just a funny comment on that:) Tonight at work, I had a 35 year old male, shit in his hand (please pardon my language but I am so pissed) and attempt to give it to me. So was work bad?!? Just another lovely day in the ICU. Btw, he did it to be ugly- not like he couldn't help it. I mean what do you say to someone that does that? I mean WHO does that?!

And all the days in between...

So after all our scurrying to stop preterm labor. The days that followed turned into a slow and steady drag. Laying in bed all day sounds pretty awesome and luxurious until it turns into 10 days or so:) So much time. For me the toughest part is that you just don't know how long it will be. Are we getting closer? Half way maybe? Each Dr., each Nurse, each resident, each sonographer has a different opinion. Has a new tidbit that is exciting, or overwhelming, or scary even. Then you have all this time to lay and over think (which as many of you know is actually my biggest gifting, lol) Shortly after my Mag drip stopped- four days into our stay. I was allowed to eat. Sit up a bit. I was allowed to actually walk to the bathroom:) We also had a bit of  a scare with our Brodie. Brodie had an usual finding on his morning ultrasound. Each boy has a daily ultrasound every morning, bright and early, at about 7:30-7:45. On that particular morning I noticed something that looked a bit differen...

Becoming a Mommy all over again:)

So, I am not sure why the blog on here that says it is the last one I did popped up and is dated from 2016. Maybe it is a total coincidence. Maybe it's some sort of weird computer glitch. Maybe, just maybe, it is because tonight as I sit here I needed to revisit that night. It was a tough night. A night where I was up tending to sick babies alone. It was an isolating time in my life. It was a scary time in my life. But, somehow in the overwhelming chaos of that life that used to be mine. I had grasped on to how truly blessed I was. I was blessed in my mess... just to be a mommy. I think I needed that tonight. You know. My life doesn't even resemble that life anymore. I don't revisit it often. My time spent as a Mommy in that life seems like something that happened to a person I don't even know. Tonight I read through some of these blogs for a dose of perspective. You know we all need that sometimes. I have been in a fog for the past two days. I think our current situat...
