LJ enjoying a little nugget lurve.
I often wonder about what people who live out in the boonies...or basically where there is NO Wendy's feed their children on nights like we have all too often? Usually it is Tuesday nights, when LJ has a visit and we find ourselves running around like dead cockroaches. Ahh, Wendy's we love you.
Today has been a really long and exhausting day for me. I just feel icky, icky. I am teary and my heart aches. I am feeling so many emotions that I am not sure what to do or how to act, or where to go from here. I just keep thinking about how much comfort and peace I have felt over the past two months, and even with all of the trials that have been thrown at us over the last few weeks, how much we have been blessed, and how much I need to remember that our Father in Heaven is mindful of each and every one of us.
I guess, I just need all of my friends to know how much I love them, and care about them. I want my kids to know the same. My hubbs too. I would do anything in the world for them...to see them happy and smiling, to put my arms around them each day so that they knew how much!
We all went out to Baskin Robbins again tonight. ( I am using food as a stress reliever right now. Not the best thing to do I would say! ) It was SO much fun to watch the littles devour their little scoops and "hats" ( cone turned upside down on the top of the cupped scoop. ) It brought me back down to what is important, my family...how important it is that they know that I love them. I remember going to the same ice cream place when I was a little girl. Oooo how I loved to pick out Pink Bubblegum...and save all the gum for the very end. I love watching Jothy take the time to think about which kind he is going to get. He told me tonight he was going to get "the green kind" ( Pistachio ). I am not sure if he would like it or not...so I was happy when I saw he opted for Oreo Cookies and Cream. I wish I could be more like him. Everytime I go somewhere, I always get the same kind...the same dish. I rarely venture out. I love that he isn't afraid to truly experience each thing in life, each flavor and not be afraid to be hurt in the process. I was thankful today to learn so much from the Cookies and Cream choice. Thanks buddy.

honey i feel your pain. i am weepy too. but heavenly father rocks. and he rocks you!
Mmmm, Wendy's and dead cockroaches in the same paragraph. Yummy. ;)
I think its great that you share your fav kid traditions with your little ones. You're such a great mommy.
You are amazing! Even thru all the emotions, feelings & upsets you still are an amazing woman! Baskin Robbins & Wendy's never killed anyone. And on some nights (or weeks or months) it just makes sense to have Wendy's and Baskin Robbins.
One thing I love to do, is learn from our kids. Don't be afraid to venture out, you never know what new flavor might bring you! It scares me too sometimes to take that step.
I'm so glad to have you back in my life!
I LUV UR GUTS, LADY! I wish I could give you a squeeze and make it all better. I guess it is a good thing well all have time on our side. ;) Trying to practice my mindfulness and enjoy the moment that I am in cause I sure as heck can't change the past =) and the future hasn't happened so what the He!! . Sounds like you did that with the chitlens.
Love the deep truths we learn about life from the simplest of places.
P.S. Pink Bubblegum ice cream holds a special place in my childhood memories, also. I order it every once in a while just to remember. :O)
Life is confusing, but a chocolate frosty from Wendy's makes it a little more bearable.
Life is so frusterating sometimes everyday is a new day though and tomorrow will be better right!!
I'm the same way with going out to eat and always picking the same thing!! Branching out once in awhile might be a nice idea I might have to try that sometime!! Here's a big hug hope tomorrow is better!! ttys
Hang in there woman. If Wendy's and Baskin Robbins get you through then so be it :-) I love that your kids love BR as much as you do. And love the thought that goes into each and every choice for Mr. J. Those little peeps are getting way too big.
Kim i love you, you are great. You never stop amazing me
We pretty much lived on fast food all weekend with how crazy it was (good crazy, not bad). As much as I wish I could be eating organic, locally grown, hormone, pesticide and chemical fertilizer free unprocessed gourmet wonders....ain't happening with a toddler.
oh I love Wendy's and Roman isn't even eating there yet (other than the fries, he thinks they are the greatest thing EVER). We eat there far too often too.
Thanks for all your sweet comments on Roman's blog. We really should get together sometime. I haven't seen you in YEARS!
Yes, I love me some Wendy's also. In fact I owe you lunch..let's go!!
Wendy's is the best!!
here's to yuck! i've been feeling it on your behalf.
it seems like the weather is backing you up on this as well!
today i am going to try something new--jothan style.
thanks for the reminder to keep reinventing me.
love you.
love your butt.
see you tonight so we can YARD SALE IT UP!!!
I am sorry that you are needing comfort right now. Battles are tough!! I hope you get through this next one!! I agree with everyone on here, you are a great mother!!
Oh gosh! LJ is so cute! Man, now I want ice cream. Mmmmm
