Beauty

My drive to work each day is a thing of beauty... The West Texas variety anyway. I love this time if day and the beauty God provides.

Because, I'm *that* mom...

He and I share a love...
Perry the Platypus... Oh! How we love him!!! So, when I came across these earbuds (which were a legitimate school supply), how could I NOT? :)

Alone

I'm freaking out a bit. Okay not just a bit... Lots. I'm freaking out lots. I am doing so much new and alone. I have support...but still, I'm alone. My new job is just me, creating a program from scratch. I have no idea how to start. I am lost and don't want to be a failure. But, that's exactly how I feel right now.

Personally, I feel abandoned and alone, too. All I want to do is hold my children and sleep. I'm far away from where I thought I'd be, in a matter of speaking.

I can't can put my hands on stuff like I should be able to do. I have a mess. I need guidance...and not someone telling me how disappointed they are. Believe me... I harbor enough disappointment in myself for us all.

now what?

School haircut

This cutie has a big second grade haircut. Oh em geez is he handsome! Love this boy!

Love blooms

This beautiful hibiscus was planted by my boys and me when we moved into our house a few weeks ago. Today it is finally blooming! Gorgeous! Caleb was so super excited when he saw it this morning.

More of my...mine

Here's my updated cross wall and my new entertainment console. I love it!

(please ignore the boxes still residing on the right side of the room...unpacking takes forever. Haha!)

Lunch: a beautiful study of leftovers

Spinach, leftover corn, fresh feta, avocado, leftover chicken, salsa, & wheat tortilla triangles. Yummy!

Organization love

My funny shaped little pantry...
Organized.
Just like I love it.

Happiness is...

Happiness is ... brand new sets of colorful Fiestaware. Love love love these dishes. Heavy duty, square, mix or match, wanted for a long time. Happiness is a fresh start...including new dishes. :)

Making my house my home

Add in flowers on the front porch flower box. I'm getting there. This sweet place that is mine-just mine, and my boys' home. <3
