Anyone who knows my family knows that my girls are sleepers! They love their sleep and are cranky when they don't get enough! (I have no idea who they inherit that from!)
On Wednesday I was the first one awake at 9:00am...I know rough life! While the girls were still sleeping, I decided to have a quiet breakfast and get some things done around the house. I was able to get a lot accomplished, but after 2 1/2 hours of pure silence in my house, I was going insane!! I found myself walking around aimlessly as if I didn't know how to function without little ones calling after me, or needing me to do something for one of them! I was lonely! I peeked in on Mia and she was still snoozing away. I peered over the bassinet at Lydia and she was still dreaming away. What was I going to do with myself?
It was now 11:30am and I decided they had slept long enough! I purposely started making noise around the bedrooms until they started to stir! Before too much longer they were both awake and both "needing" me! As the house went from 0 to chaos in 30 seconds, at first I thought, "What was I thinking?" But then I was reminded of that lonely feeling I was experiencing just moments before. It wasn't even bothering me that Mia was whining for juice while I was changing Lydia and getting ready to feed her, while she was also whining! I was needed again! That's when it hit me! I need them as much as they need me...or maybe I need them more than they need me! I love that they need their mommy! I love that I get to stay home and be their mommy!
I'm still undecided if I need them more or if they need me more! Whichever the case, my girls reminded me we need each other! It's good to be needed, wanted, and loved. So many times I forget to mention to the people in my life how much they mean to me and how much I need them. Let this be a simple reminder to take time to tell people how important they are in your life! Everyone likes to feel needed and appreciated!
Love and Blessings friends!

It's okay to cry!
Wow, it's been a little while since I've been able to sit down and write! I guess you'll have that with two little ones!
In my last post I had written about how I was having an emotional time. Well the next day all of my emotions came out to a dear friend on the phone! (Thanks Kati for listening!) I've always had this "rule" that I won't cry in front of Mia. Some may call that silly, but I never want her to get nervous or upset because mommy is crying. On this particular day there was no holding back as my emotions overcame me and began to let it all out. At first Mia was very quiet and just watched me looking a little confused. As I continues talking and crying, she began to bring tissues over to me one by one. She's so sweet. After getting off the phone she asked me if I was okay and I explained to her that sometimes you just need to cry! Later that afternoon we were grocery shopping and the store was completely out of something that I needed. I must have looked disappointed because Mia, who was sitting in the front of the cart, began rubbing my shoulder and said, "Are you going to need a tissue, because it's okay to cry mommy!" She's my sensitive one!
On some lighter notes, Lydia is working on some teeth. I think her fist is in her mouth every waking moment. She is also rolling over regularly and now loving to play in her exersaucer! She's getting so fun! She cracks herself up when she pushes the buttons and makes her toy light up! I love the sound of her laughter!
I told Mia we would do something special this afternoon and she has chosen to go see the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua...pray for me! ha! Thankfully we have a really cheap theater here in BG and it only costs $2.00...so if I have to take Lydia out it won't be a big deal. Plus I really don't think Mia will sit still for a whole movie! This will be an adventure!
Love and blessings!
