Confession!

Photobucket




Confession Time!






I Confess... I am barely hanging on these days. I am tired, cranky, unsettled...




I Confess... I am super glad that Ali came to visit but also super ready for my normal weeks to be here. We had a week between coming back from a month trip to the states and Ali arriving- so I LONG for next week- a week of me having the house to myself during the day (other than lil man)




I Confess... we have spent TOOOOOO much money already this month- leaving the remainder of the month (25 days still!) tight... oh well- we enjoyed having Ali around:)




I Confess... I am still a little up in the air about having a third kiddo. I am still going to restart the fertility process but there is a little part of me that is struggling with the "have a third baby or get my butt in shape finally"




I Confess...I am super sad that my momma is having major surgery on Tuesday of next week and I am SO far away. I wish I could fly there and be there to love on her! Plus- a little bit of me is insanely missing home. I had a hard time coming back to Germany this time. While I love it here- this visit made me realize all I am missing back there...




I Confess... I am not loving these toddler days. While I do love the "learning something new everyday" stage... I am not loving the "get into everything and run all over the place stage"




I Confess... I have UH-mazing kiddos and I know it! Honestly, they are polite and well mannered. Even C- who is 13 months- listens when I say no. Pretty good!




I Confess... I am smiling like a little kiddo this morning. I have my monthly wives coffee and my favorite coffee shop in the world. Hais will be at school and lil man is going to daycare... So- that means that I am heading to the coffee shop at like 9 (an hour and a half early) to just drink a cappuchino, have my normal meal (The Leni) and maybe read off my iPad. Enjoy momma time. Soak in the sunshine and people watch (which is always interesting when you cannot understand anything anyone is saying around you) and hope for it all to refresh my soul- cause I need some refreshing people!




Yeah for confession- and Prayers for the much needed Refreshing of Brens soul!!!




Happy Friday!!

I wish your mama luck with her procedure next week. I'm sure it's hard being far away from her and not able to help, but I'm sure she will do great. :)

I hope you get out of your funk soon - I know that feeling, I hate it myself!

Carrie said...

13 months is a pretty cool age; that's how old my youngest is. Prayers up for you mom. Happy Friday.

I am totally a fertility kind of girl. Unfortunately. I'm happy with one. After 6 years, I don't care to start the process over so if we have more, GREAT! But it won't be because I gave myself shots in the tummy and butt!

Prayers for your momma. Have a great weekend~

Conni said...

prayer and hug sent to you!!

I know how you feel about needing you place to your self, I had guest here for 10 days last month, it is hard trying to be nice when you just want your place to your self!!

Enjoy your kid-free coffee date!!

The picture of your son on the side bar is gorgous by the way, what a cutie!!

Thanks for sharing

Yay for having polite kids! That is just proof that you're a good mama, I wish more people would teach their little ones to be polite.

Your kids are adorable too. Pure beauty.

Unknown said...

Hope your mom is okay.
I have been in a funk myself lately- seems to be a lot of that going around, hope you get over yours soon!
Be nice to yourself.

It is so hard when you are just going, going, going, it makes me feel so unsettled, add in that you are far from home and I can't imagine. Hope you get some quality "you" time!

Prayers for you and your Mom.

Vivian said...

Your mom is my prayers. Enjoy the your time alone. We moms deserve it! I've been to Ansbach before. I know exactly where the military base is, I know the town like the palm of my hand...LOVE Germany! HOpe you are enjoying it, too. I am very curious about your adventures there so I'm following :)

Toddlers years are so hard. My sons thing is to say no first no matter what. Ugh

Randomlicious Memoirs said...

I am feeling the same way with having a third...I want to but then I also need to lose weight and get in shape....who knows.

Also my toddler crazy! Runs around the house, sometimes back and forth! Also a great kid, but I think every kid has their moments.

Erin said...

I'm so right there with you about the toddler stage. My daughter Sam is 10 months and has just started to walk sigh.

Sorry ones enough for me. it's because I'm disabled I couldn't handle more than one.

Ashley said...

I hope all goes well for your MOM!
Prayers going up for her and you i know it must be hard to be away from home! But i feel that Army Wives are some super strong women and I am so thankful for everything your husband is doing for our country!!
My friends husband also was a Black hawk pilot as well.

I pretty much spend all my money in the first 5 days of the month as well... then broke for the other 25 days too.. lol!!

Have a great week!
