It's okay Thursday

It’s Thursday! I couldn’t be happier to be one day closer to the weekend. I’m not gunna sugar coat it this has been a horrible week! Just a lot going on and a lot to process. 

It’s okay...

to need a break from this crazy life. Anyone who said being a military wife was easy has never done it! 

to admit I may have signed up for a bit more than I can handle.

to want to add more to my over flowing plate.

to be excited to finally be working on getting my kiddos baptized (even if its a few years late)

to be so sad that one of my closest friends is moving away this week. I never thought this little journey of ours would bring such an amazing friend! 

to be looking into boarding school for my 3.5 year old. 

to just want to sit out side and soak in the 85 degree sun! 

to turn up the tunes and just sing it out! Somethings this is the best medicine. (it also masks the screams of the children :))

to be so excited for the 21 day health challenge to be over I just want to post before and after pics!!! 

for life to turn out different than you planned. Remember it’s not our plan that matters!

to wonder where the years have gone... Planning or thinking about my class reunion is making me feel old. 

It’s okay Thursday!

Is it really Thursday already! Easter is just around the corner meaning Spring break is almost over. Sadly, all my plans for a great spring break went out the window when most of the family got sick! But it’s okay!

to teach your kids the truth about Easter! It is after all one of the most important days in Christianity!

to be tired of diapers! Seriously, its been six years I am so ready to be done! 

to be more than overly excited for the hot hot heat Alabama has in store for me in the coming months. 

to admit I am kicking butt at working out and getting in shape! 

to want to go Vegan but just not be ready to make that commitment! 

It's okay

This week has been a overwhelming. I wish I could say that being one day from the weekend would make things better. Sadly even the weekend cannot get me out of my own head. 
The week hasn’t been all bad Payton’s soccer team won their first two games!!!! 2-0 Whoop whoop proud mommy here. 

Okay on to it...

It’s okay...
... that a bus stop full of kids stared at my screaming child for 5 minutes. Then proceeded to tell me what was wrong with him. 
...to just want said screaming child to be quiet.
...to miss high school. 
...to be so excited for a trip that is months ahead. 
...to be unsure of what to think or how to react when someone from your past walks back into your life. 
...

It's okay Thursday!

It’s okay:

to be fearful of the future.

to know that you need to leave it up to God, but not quite know how to do that.

to replace the habit you gave up for Lent with another.

to wish you wouldn't have cut your hair, even if you did donate it to locks of love. 

that things will never be the same. 

to be addicted to Alias. 

to wish Alias was over so I can get back to life. 

to know the right thing to do (talking about healthy eating) and just not be ready. 

to already want to re-refinish the desk I refinished earlier this year. 

It's okay

HappyThursday! 

We are over the hump and on our way to the weekend!!! This weekend shows little promise, bad weather and the flu is going around, but I will have daddy’s extra helping hands. 

As I am writing this I can’t help but want to get back into bed... afraid that I am the flus next victim. Some Thursdays I truly have to think about this post, reflect on the week we have had and all the reasons it’s okay because its Thursday. Today is not one of those days.

It’s okay....

to be an adult and secretly want your moms chicken soup. 

to plant the kids in front of something educational so you can get a little more rest. 

that I took way too many pictures during soccer practice this week. 

to want a new lens for my camera. 

to me slightly freaked out about our upcoming move. 

that this is my 10th move in the past 10 years. 

to hate my crock pot. It has to be close to 10 years old (was moms) and it over cooked 2 meals this week on low :/

to look at pinterest and want to barf. How in the world are people already thinking about St. Patties day! 

I have replaced my coffee addiction with hot tea for lent. 

I hope you have a great weekend! 

Happy Valentines and It's okay Thursday

I’m just going to say this I am not a big Valentines day gal. Don't get me wrong I love flowers and chocolate just as much as the next gal. Well, maybe not just as much you see I think potted living flowers are much more appealing than ones that will die in 3-7 days. Chocolate heck yes there... but I wont be eating any this year :( 

But I will use this opportunity to write about love. That’s what today is all about right?

I’m not a big mushy gushy I love you gal. I don’t really see love like most people do. I see love as a conscious choice. A choice that using good sense we decide to make. 

I guess I am just not a romantic love at first sight type of gal. I can totally understand how people reading this can think that maybe I am just a little nuts. I think my views on love make more sense at the other end of love, the part where loving someone is over. It might be easier to think about if you think about choosing to stop loving someone. 

It’s okay Thursday

It’s okay: 

to not be completely in love with this holiday.

to be completely in love with your spouse (thats me)

that on day 2 of lent I already want some coffee.

to be overly excited about paint and sip class tomorrow.

that my picture will likely be horrible. 

soccer practice was cancelled 2 of 3 days this week (thank you rain). 

I think I may have signed the kids up for too many activities... 

that today is Valentines day. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines day!

It's okay...

because today is my birthday!
Birthday post here.

It's Thursday... It's okay

For some reason this is one of my favorite guided posts to write. There is something really fun and eyeopening about saying it's okay this is how it is and this is how I feel. So without further ado:
It's okay...
to take a break, step back and reexamine everything.
to maybe consider Alaska as a choice of places to live even if I've been against the very idea for years.
to be stressing about our next PCS which wont be till the summer.
to just want a break from it all.
to say you're sorry say your peace and let it go.
to be so super excited for a lunch date with a special little one this weekend.
to completely change your homes color scheme.
to be so excited about reading a book you find it hard to put down.

It's okay…

It’s Thursday again which means we are one day closer and only one day away from the weekend! I value my time during the week; I get to spend every waking moment with the most awesome boys in the world (and Part time with my school girl). Did I mention EVERY waking moment? So as much as I love every day I love the weekend I get a break and I get to parent with someone.

It’s okay …

To be more excited for Christmas than my kids.
To be tired of these NIGHTLY elf projects.
That at 50 degrees I’m FREEZING.
To just want a lazy weekend.
I broke the no present’s rule for the hubby!
To avoid the scale during the holidays.
To love checking the mail.
