Motherhood Moment...

For those of you who know me, you know my intense passion for kids. I dream of the day I can start a family. Well this past weekend, yesterday included was a definate 'motherhood experience' for me.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and my wonderful friends and I were outside enjoying the weather (and celebrating my graduation) when I was holding someone that I love dearly! All of a sudden I feel warm drench my legs and lap. Lyza Gray was feeling under the weather and decided to empty her stomach- which was just fed- all over me. Projectile vomit that missed her clothing entirely but managed to drench me. But it wasn't just one tiny little puke. It was 3 sepearate sections of projectile vomit. The whole group was in shock, especially her parents. I didn't know what to do, I just kept her on my lap until she finished puking. The comments from the peanut gallery didn't help either, "Oh Sick," "Thats gross!" "Look at all that puke." Needless to say on a day of celebration, everyone wants to look their best, and I was covered in puke. So much I needed to get hosed off before entering my house to shower.

Last night I had the pleasure of picking my niece and two nephews up from their school in Bloomington. Sydney is 5, Alex is 3, and Ethan is 7 months. I carted the three to Buffalo Wild Wings (where I definately got looks, being a 'single mother and all'.) We bath and get ready for bed. All was going perfect until I hear the monitor starting to go off at 3 am. Ethan was crying. Of course he didn't want a bottle, he didn't need to be changed, he just wanted to be held. So for an hour and 45 minutes, I held him, and eventually layed him in bed with me. Of course I didn't sleep well because I was terrified of rolling onto him. - I'm not a big roller I just hear people talking about it.-

Needless to say I have had motherly experiences lately, and although I still love kids dearly...I'll wait.

My awesome house..

I've lived in my house for 6 months now, and it wasn't until this month I realized how beautiful it actually is. Our house has so many spots that we never used, mostly because all of the tenants would just retreat to the bedrooms and thats it.

The other night it was beautiful outside so I went and spent 45 minutes with God. The stars in the sky, and the breeze were just enough to make me never want to go inside. I've been a really big advocate for staying at home lately.

I am having a graduation party on Saturday so tonight it's clean clean clean, but with my amazing roomates I know it'll be turned into fun instead of a chore!


(Lame post...sorry)

My stupid mouth..

So I've always been a big cusser. It's a nasty unattractive habit, I know. I typically do it in a joking manner or when I am alone, except when I get all riled up.

My young life girls know they can swear around me, I feel it provides for a 'safe enviornment' where if they swear and I don't flinch then they can talk about other things and the same peaceful reaction will occur. I try not to swear around them, until my stupid mouth slipped tonight. I think/hope only a few of my closest friends, one YL girl heard me. Immediately after I felt remorse.

I have been constantly nagged about my 'language' by my friend Ryan, but tonight I felt so convicted immediately after, it was embarrassing. I don't want those words to come out of my mouth and people look at me to see a religious leader. I know it says in the Bible that my words should only be pure and of God...my challenge for myself this week is that I clean up my mouth. (If you ever hear me, feel free to call me out on it!)


Only one more day of class and 3 finals to go!

My wonderful friends...

Yesterday I couldn't help but let joy fill my heart all day long. God has blessed me with a great group of friends. It's like they understand me. Their kind words and prayers helped me get through my tough week.

It's good friends like that who help me not get offended when I get called, "Bible Study" from others.


Thank you, to all my friends.

Freedom!

My week is over! Only finals now and I will be a college graduate.

Last Horrah..

It hit me on Sunday that the girls I have grown with the past 4 years, are all leaving town and getting into the real world in a few weeks. Granted, I moved away because I needed to get out of that lifestyle, but I never wanted to get away from them.

This week has been extremely busy for me. With work, school, Chi Omega senior week. I have been trying to spend as much time with my best friends as possible. This prevents me from getting home before 2:30am. I figure this is my last college horrah! (I'm sure I'll elaborate on this more later...)
