*I got fresh flowers while I was at the grocery store this week. I honestly cannot say enough about how much I love the feel/look of a freshly cleaned house capped off with the beauty of a few fresh cut flowers! I got sunflowers for the kitchen...and tulips for the bathroom. They are spectacular :)
*The terrible twos have taken residence at our house. They claim his name is Owen. But I swear I don't recognize him. Sometimes...I'm not sure what takes over...but my little boy disappears for awhile. I know I didn't picture this side of him when he was a baby. But I know I don't care for his tendency to hit and kick when he is angry!
* Speaking of this subject...it's about as much fun as chinese water torture trying to get him into his car seat right now. Even if we're going somewhere just for him. He doesn't get it. The car seat is the mortal enemy. He fights to the bitter end.
* On that note, I'm still grappling with how to process time spent with my precious little boy. It doesn't make sense to me that he can in the same day (even same five minute span) make me ready to spit fire, but then turn around and melt my heart. Emotional roller coaster anyone???
*On a happier note, we had one of those weather days roll around that I just love! I had windows open to air out the house all day. And as the afternoon came to a close, dark clouds rolled in and thunder began to peal across the sky. I love listening to the gentle thunderstorms that spring and summer bring...especially when it's finally warm enough to open a couple windows and listen to it come down!
*My hubby is studying for a test that will grant him his Professional Engineers License. It's an 8 hour test that says you have the knowledge you need to have the final say on any projects that you design...well that's the best explanation I can give you. He might tell you something a bit more technical. When he passes this test he will be able to put a little PE next to his name. It also signifies a major milestone for his career. I'm proud of how hard he works everyday. And watching him study, while some nights drives me crazy because I miss him, makes me him love him more than I already do. Hang in there babe. You're gonna get there!!
*We recently have discovered that Owen has a love of all things ocean. He loves the movie Free Willy. He loves the whale bath toy we have since named Willy. He even just plain loves water. He has started pulling his stool for brushing teeth over to the bathroom sink 2 times a day to wash his hands and play in the water. Too cute! But anyway, we purchased the Disney's Oceans on Blu Ray this week...and Owen was absolutely captivated. If you have a little one who enjoys anything ocean...this film is a great choice. It gives us a great chance to talk with Owen about different creatures like whales, fish, dolphins, crabs and even birds. We give it a thumbs up!
*Pregnancy at this stage of the game has kind of set me back. I was going along feeling wonderful...but ever since last weekend I've been struggling. My allergies have flared up. My back is achy at the end of the day. And I'm just flat out exhausted. Prayers for my family as we cope with my lack of energy and lack of patience with this new development would be great!
*Speaking of back aches, I'm hitting the stage of the game where normal things like sitting down in the tub, running the vacuum cleaner and picking up Owen to get him in his car seat are getting difficult. And if I do push it, I end up with a back ache! It seems early for this, but I guess I am nearly half way there. Kinda crazy when I think about it that way!
*And speaking of being half way there...OMG. We have lots to do! I hope April 7 (the weekend of Jer's test) gets here soon...so we can begin figuring out what we need and how best to prepare for a house with two little ones to care for!
*This is a reminder to myself to take a look at my goals. I know I am doing well with my goal to read more...but some of my other ones have fallen by the way side. I thought I made some great goals worth achieving...so I need to get my bootay in gear and get on it!!
Okay...I think that's all. Thanks for reading :)

I love that you always have fresh flowers at your house! I always think to myself, "I should do that! It is so nice and refreshing!" and then I never do! Might have to start treating myself ;)
