I PROMISE!!
K so here's the deal... Remember last Saturday when Bayley so honestly confessed that she sucked at Circles?? Well, for the last 2 weeks or so, I do too so we can suck together Bayley. I really suck. I haven't even checked my emails so if Darin's emailing us- oops! I currently have like 384 unread emails, sweet. And I haven't read a single blog this week, I halfway read a few last week and I didn't even write one last week. So I'm like "shoot, I have to write one tonight, read a million tonight, do the Orbiter tonight, etc etc..." You get the idea. Meanwhile my house is a DISASTERRR!!! And I really can't even be in it until it at least appears clean, even if that means putting the silver wear in my pajama drawer. And here's the other thing... I've had quite the week, I really have. Great things/crappy things, good mood/bad mood, sleep/no sleep, love/no love, up/down, all around. Umm not to mention today I brought a 2 year and an 11 month old to the hospital for stitches by myself (so fun) and that was a 4 hour dilemma (only 4), then I listened to them scream for 13 hours straight (music to my ears), and no one napped (perfect, I hate nap time anyway). Guess who eventually had the biggest meltdown of us all though? ME! Today made me want to walk out on my job, run away, and never be a mom. So all of you who wanna be parents... this is your future, look forward to it. Sooo that being said… thinking about writing a blog seems to be like something I really can't set my mind on doing, so instead I wrote a blog about how I can't write a blog... Ugh this is what happens when you're around screaming children too much. I DON'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!! Anyways, I have the house to myself tonight- praise God!! So instead of halfway reading your blogs, I really need to finish this week off as a sucky Circles week (that I totally take ownership of) and "clean" my house and watch a movie. So that's what I'm going to do buuuuut... I PROMISE that from now on I will not fail miserably at my correspondence via computer. (p.s. side note: I really hate technology). Kinda wouldn't mind lighting candles and writing letters, I like it old school, Amish style. :) Anyways, I can only go up from here right? Hope you all understand, gunna go curl up all alone (yay!) and put on some Modern Family episodes and eat some frozen grapes, doesn't change my love for ya'll tho! :)

I can say it is different with your own kids, so don't despair. There are days that never seem to end though, but you did make it through and now you can sit on the couch and be alone with your thoughts and eat what sounds good. Praying rejuvenation for your mind, heart, and soul!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rest. You deserve it. God rested too. Love you, girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are taking time for yourself...just because you didn't get through all your circles stuff doesn't mean you fail, you're just human and life came up. The great thing about being in circles is that no one is grading based on what we get done but rather we are being able to gain so much from getting to know ourselves better and developing great relationships. I hope that your weekend goes better than your week! I'll be praying for you
ReplyDeletehahaha, lindsay, i just love this. i think you're great. thanks for being honest in this, and way funny too. i was super shocked when i saw my name, and then i read it and just started laughing. i know your life is clearly feeling crazy right now, but i think you're doing an awesome job. sometimes you just have to say screw it, i'm gonna take care of myself. modern family, frozen grapes, candles, a distrust of technology. we have lots in common that i didn't even know about :)
ReplyDeletegood girl. take that time. and seriously enjoy it.
ReplyDeleterest my dear. i'll be praying for rest and for peace. keep on going love and call me if you ever need anything!
ReplyDeleteWay to stick to it and not let the temporary funk get the best of you. I'm right there with you, no more sucky Circles week where we fall behind anymore =)
ReplyDeleteLindsey I'm going to have to join you in sucking at Circles! I can relate in life getting a little crazy lately! I hope you are getting some rest this week :)
ReplyDeleteAs always you are in my prayers you overachiever :) Its okay to not be doing well, because we know it is not the fact that you do not want to be doing it, you just need a little more focus and then you will remember why it is you did this whole thing and the amazing experiences that come out of it :) Side note. Have you ever had Amish food? Truly Delish.
ReplyDeleteExcited that since you've written this you've taken some steps to get things a bit more organized!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you this morning.
Your funny! Your post made me smile--oh yeah especially the part where you said you would rather do writing the amish style..I thought of you writing with a dimmed candle with a quill pen!
