Confessions

I give my kids too much dessert knowing they won't finish.  I usually only get a few bites, but they taste all the more delicious because of the scandal.

I pretend I'm a Broadway super star when I do the dishes at night- singing at the top of my voice, imagining the captivated crowd, and dripping dirty water all over the floor during the most intense songs.

My celebrity crush is Chuck Bartowski.  I've never been able to resist a funny, nerdy, and athletic guy :)

When the kids are entertained I love to take Delia to a quiet room in the house, just me and her.  We play peek-a-boo, snuggle, sing songs, and talk about our day.  She's normally either on my hip or sleeping while the rest of us are busily bustling around, almost like she's not even here.  So when I get a chance to stop and give her undivided attention it's so precious.

I fall asleep after reading just a few paragraphs of whatever's in my tired fingers.  Whether it's the scriptures, a parenting book, or the latest must-read novel.  I LOVE to read and have really missed it.  So, to fill my reading void, Bry and I have been watching fun TV series with Netflix.  I like this option so much more than flipping channels because we can control what we watch so much easier and no commercials is always a bonus.  We're currently enjoying Merlin right now (We tend to like what BBC has to offer much more than many American Broadcasting companies).

I obsessively research newly discovered health news. I can't get enough information about what we should be eating, the most effective exercises, and beauty gadgets and creams.  But, I hardly ever implement anything into my own life.  We still eat the same old stuff we have for years, I still exercise the same way, and my beauty regimen hasn't changed in forever.  I guess it's hard for me to change my habits and routines- even if I know it's not the best choice for me and my family's health.

I do a little dance every time Delia and Ivy are asleep at the same time.  It's very rare and I can't help but giggle at the possibilities- I can do anything, ANYTHING I want!  When this rare opportunity presents itself I usually spend the time with my new hobby:



Jewelry Making



I CONSTANTLY hear babies crying- like a weird ring in my ears that never goes away.  I hear it when I'm trying to sleep, taking a shower, and even when I'm holding Delia.  Yep, I'm going crazy.  I think it's my brain's way of dealing with the constant fear that I'm going to forget one of my children.
