Seriously.
Was starting to think I would never get to this post. I've had so many plans for it. Likely spent more time thinking about it than I did Pumpkin's birthday party.
So many ideas. Pictures. Words of wisdom. Revelations.
But now that it's here, I'm not really feeling any of that.
Feeling more Lessons Learned in the past three plus years.
Ya'll are on the edge of your seats aren't you? Oooo...Ahhhh....
In no particular order...
Texans really love being Texans.
Texans really dislike anyone else.
Whole Foods is better than Disney World.
Gluten is bad.
Target tee shirts are good.
Babies are not easy to make.
Really regret the six years of birth control.
Living further than a days drive from the beach is not normal.
Living further than a days drive from your family is lonely.
Save for the sofa you really want instead of buying what's on sale.
Needles are not that scary.
Organic, chemical free living should not be a luxury.
Freedom to worship is a luxury we take for granted.
I am weaker than I thought.
God is stronger than I gave Him credit for.
Things happen that leave you speechless.
God hears the unspoken cries of your heart.
Good friends are hard to find.
Being a good friend is much harder.
I never regret the gifts, acts, words I give to others.
Only regret the gifts, acts, words I thought about giving and didn't.
My daughter walking towards me is the best moment in the day. Every time.
My daughter holding food out over the floor to see if I will tell her DO NOT DROP YOUR FOOD is the worst moment in the day. Every time.
I really miss working.
I don't miss working as much as I would miss being at home.
If you don't use coupons it's because you have the choice not to.
If you use coupons to acquire large quaniities of things you will not eat or use and do not donate those to someone who needs them, you are a Hoarder.
Vaccuming makes me happy.
Ironing makes me unhappy.
A baby changes everything.
Nothing can prepare you for those changes.
A gratitude list does not mean you won't feel sad or lonely or tired or used up.
A gratitude list will help you move on from all that much quicker than without it.

All true for you and most for me! Especially the part about you being so far away and training a child. It's not fun sometimes but It's all worth it!! Love you, Mom
