Reminders
I'm in a funk. I'm eternally irritated. With Motherhood, with living in Alabama, my dogs, my ever expanding body, my husband (gee, could you tell...I never post about HIM.)
But as I sit here right now, I look over at Carson. He's sitting beside his sister playing and giggling. He's talking to her in words I don't understand except "baby Ella." My almost 4 month old baby girl has almost scooted herself off the blanket. And even though it's only a temporary respite from yet another lackluster day, it reminds me of how lucky I am.
Sometimes I need two reminders.

Sometimes it's the little things, huh?!
I'd be in a funk over living in "LA" too... but what can I say, I live in GA :|
Glad to find your blog~ Aradia
They are good for 'reminding' us aren't they ?
I was in your same "newborn" funk last summer. I wish I could say it has gotten a lot easier. Maybe it's gotten little easier. We shipped the dog to my in-laws and I've accepted my expanding body. Plus my kids are healthy and happy!
Hang in there!
Whoa now. Why are you so down about living in Alabama?!?!?!??
So very true. The little ones in our lives are often the biggest reminders we have for why we should be grateful.
Beautifully said!

And what two gorgeous reminders they are! I hope it gets better soon for you...we all have our days ( I know I do!).
awww, I feel ya! be well dear.
Wanna take a vacation? I could use some friendly movers. No?
Of course, I wan you it's 108 here...but I do have beer. :)
I hope your next few days go well, I'm officially without computer tomorrow morning. Won't have it back for a week.
I'm going to start commenting here when I figure out how to do it. Hopelessly computer illiterate, I am.
Anyway, I am having the worst time trying to log onto your blog. My computer is a piece of crap and locks up at everything. I have been reading, though, through google view.
I know you put my boyfriend Alton up there just for me.
What I really started out to say was that I hope your funk is short lived. I get like that many days.
Yeah, it's all warm and fuzzy til someone leans over and throws up on the carpet.
If we didn't have these reminders, it's hard telling what we'd do to them. ;)
Adorable.
Enjoy those little moments or you may miss them...
hugs.
It's always the little things. Very sweet.
Yeah, but... what's the secret back story?!!! Give us the dirt, sister!
The reminders are what carry us through the hard times, aren't they?
I'm trying to 'dazzle' you, but those brilliant little babes are taking all the spotlight so I'll just continue to focus on them. Wow. They're precious.
They do ease the pain, don't they?
Aw! Thanks. I needed those reminders today too - that and our little chat really brightened my day. I hope the pissy mood ends soon (mine and yours).
aw! your babies are adorable! it's easy to get caught up in the little things and it's great to have such wonderful reminders!
I love those moments. The ones that make you catch your breath and let all of the bad feeling disappear - even if only for a moment.
Oh my God do I hear you sista!
I am so in a funk lately...ESPECIALLY due to husband. But there are those brief seconds where I look at my kids and I'm touched; realizing I'm so blessed. But then, quick as it came, poof...GONE! Thank goodness for fellow bloggers that understand your pain huh?!
We all have days like that! Hope your get better:)
You have this unique ability of being able to say...what I've been feeling for the past week. I'm feel like I"m lucky too.
Awwww. It's good to have those kinds of reminders. Lucky you.
You're such a great mom. Even when you are irritated with it.
I love those moments :)
I have been in a funk too. Point well taken.
The cuteness!! Life is beautiful.
I still can't imagine we'll have another one in just a few months.
