A day in the life…
I am not entirely sure why anyone would want to read what I have to write. But in case I have someone who reads this, I am going to be faith. Tomorrow starts Lent. Yes, I am Catholic. Not a very good one.. but trying to work on that. So I will be attending Ash Wednesday mass and then we are going to buy jelly beans! Oh yeah, baby! My favorite. There is a jelly bean prayer that we are going to use. And good deeds will correlate to a specific color and we will make our lenten jars! I think this will be a great way for the kids to get credit for doing good things. It might even extend past lent. We will have to see how it goes!
I told the kids about the jelly bean project and they seem to be very excited about it. So this i think will be a good thing.
I have been asked to sew a wedding dress. And I am very afraid to start it. What happens if it doesn’t fit. if she doesn’t like it. I mean this just isn’t a dress this is THE dress. But today I sorted one of my daughter’s pants issues. Her pants don’t fit .. they either fit her in the legs, and are way to small in the waste.. or they are WAY to long in the legs and fit her in the waist. So today, I cut the legs off her pants and made ruffles to go on the bottom of the pant legs. I think they look super cute. But I don’t know if she likes cute any more. She is so growing up! It kills me.
I rocked Becca to sleep today. And let her lay in my arms. I know those days are almost over and I don’t want to miss them. It is perfect bliss watching a baby sleep in your arms. Knowing that you are there to protect them from everything.
I hope this lenten season I can get my head straight. I seem to have been on a roller coaster. Trying to be happy and make everyone else happy. Or I am really snappy. I want to be in the middle. Just going about life and being able to deal with what comes my way.
Well my bed is calling me. Next week I hope to have my rose bed mulched and one of my garden beds weeded and plants in them!

I read and I like what you write. Love you!
Thanks Erin!
