Areas Of Business

Couple of things.
-I would first like to welcome Amber here. (She makes great babies BTW)
-Scott and Trish are having a boy and I am thrilled, although I know they don't visit here cause they are too busy.
-Kara-thanks for the alfredo sauce.. bet you never thought anyone would actually try it, but if I went through the trouble to post a recipe on my blog that would mean I really thought it was good, so I made it and it was really good! It got an A+ in my recipe rating record. I will see you in 1.5 hours.
-I realized I better ShOut oUt to Mindy for being pregnant!
-Thanks to Joni and Shar for the girl date yesterday it was great.. and a ShOut oUt to Joni it was birthday last week and I didn't even know. Some friend.

ShOut OUt

Thought I'd give a shout out to Lindsay (Dee) Rose, it's her birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSAY.

I was thinking how we are all imperfect people. But if we are all so imperfect and trying to resolve this or work on it and become less imperfect and our best selves, then why is it we can not take any sort of criticism that suggests we are imperfect?

We are all so touchy when someone even suggests something less than perfection. When in truth if we actually are trying to become our best selves and trying to become better whatevers then you would think if someone had something that would help you reach that you would welcome it because in truth they are doing you a favor. However we just take anything people suggest (or even don't suggest) if it regards our insecurities and get all offended when really the person was doing a favor whether intentional or not. Seems to me if we know our insecurities we should look them in the eye and have a stand off. Not coward away from them and make excuses. Oh.. my favorite excuse is: That is just who I am. It may be who you are but it's a character flaw shouldn't you try to not be that way? I think when we are striving to not improve ourselves is when we should really feel insecure.

The picture reflects our perfect selves. I think Piper is the sweetest and often evilest person in the world. Her age is so innocent and she is so sweet and simple. One of my weaknesses is my patience with her. I just want so much to treat her like she deserves to be treated without ever any snapping or frustration. I don't know if this is possible, but once Jake told me when I was pregnant that it isn't Piper's fault that I am pregnant so if I am not feeling well don't take it out on her. I was only offended by this comment because it was true. It struck my insecurities and I chose to give it a good stand off. (And am still trying consistently). . When I am stressed about something or the baby is crying I remind myself it isn't her fault for any of it so don't even remotely take it out on her. So that.. is where this thought began, just so not to be confused.

Spring Fever Or Something

At my in law's this weekend I think we all had some spring fever.Daylight savings hit and we took it outdoors. The kids played outdoors and shoveled the dirt. I never knew that a patch of dirt and a shovel could entertain a toddler for so long, good thing all my yard is is dirt so I guess I am good to go. Never mind those people who spend fortunes on swing sets and what not just get your kids some dirt! So anyway I am anxious as everyone for warm weather. Piper will be a good age to enjoy and explore everything. Beckett.. mmm not so much but he sure will be able to poop and puke on everything.. or me because he is pretty good at that. Those are Piper's cousins Gage and Emalee. You might say Emalee is Piper's idol. And you might say Piper is Gage's nemesis. But Piper loves her cousins, that is for sure. My in law's are the best in case you have missed that memo in previous posts and conversations.

ShOut OUt

Just had to give a shout out to my friend Talane. She is a friend from Utah State and I love her. She lives in Houston now while her husband tries to get in dental school and I hate it. I wish she lived back here again. I love her I can't say it enough. I had to opportunity to see her today for about an hour and it was such a treat. I love you!
