'nother day in the life

So, because i treasure every moment (or at least try to) of my days of motherhood...I am going to document via pictures what has gone down at the 'spoti residence as of 11:32 am (to be precise). This is considered one of my more chill and relaxed days...

(ummm does doing a kick-butt workout on said relaxed and chill days create a very messed up picture? Hmm...)

This particular blog is particularly frustrating to write today because of a particular computer. Not only does my shift key keep sticking (and now the "a" key so i keep having to pound it out) but...i had to wait minutes in between uploading each picture with messages of crashing....like so:

Anyway....particular frustrations aside...good thing I have coffee and espresso beans...'cus some days you just need both.

Joshua and I read through Psalm 30 before he left....awesome. :)

I tried to have an added time of journaling with coffee and candles....nice right?

However, sir "hang-on-me" wouldn't allow it...

This text from my friend Krystal got me super excited though....girl's night out!

Then I was tempted by these purple bag skittles. Do you even KNOW how long I've been looking for some? Since over a year ago...Finally they seem to be making them again...but...I resisted. For now. I know where they hide though. That's why I am the "hide-er" ;) heh, heh.

While I was drooling over the skittles and making my decision, Israel got into my sock drawer and sock bombed the closet floor. Lovely.

While Israel napped, I made myself feel all wobbly by trying out this workout video...is it possible to feel like your butt is collapsing under you? Because I think mine is trying to...aiy yi yi!

Then my bro sent me a pic of "Big Mamma"...a pet of a friend...random and fun.

Yay! got all the pictures uploaded and on this blogpost....

.......and now, as I wrap up this blogpost...I discover...a dropped chocolate covered espresso beans that melted underneath me, all over my pants. I shall not post a picture of it...sometimes ridiculous images are just unnecessary to share with the public.

Finally...a picture that I find funny....if you don't share in the humor...well...at least it's my last pic of the day ;)

Tired As A Mother

Almost asleep. *baby cries* Nurse 20 min sleep. *baby cries* Nurse Repeat. All through the night. 3 days in a row. Teething. I'm tired. However, I'm not just tired physically. It seems like all of the health-nut people are making/raving about all these delicious looking "health bombs" or "fat bombs" or "tastes-like-grass-but-it-looks-good bombs." Bombs, that when a bite is taken from one, the result is an explosion of healthy nutrients in your mouth. ***see pictures below*** Yeah. Well, if I were a bomb, I'd be a tired bomb. My tired bomb consists of a dangerous mix of no energy, no motivation, anger that I'm tired, anger for no reason, dysfunctional fog brain, tears about everything, but mostly tears because I'm tired, where just about anything could set it (me) off. Biting into my tired bomb is ugly. Unhealthy. I dread the Sarah who doesn't get sleep. I regre...

I'M UGLY...BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING

I'm ugly....but it's a beautiful thing. :) Disclaimer 1: this is going to be raw. Personal. Just warning you. Disclaimer 2: If you see a bunch of quotes or pictures from FLYLEAF lyrics, it's because for the last few months, I've been listening to them on my runs. God has used a handful of the lyrics to really spur me on in digging deeper into my own heart. No, they aren't super theologically deep, but I'm thankful for the thought their lyrics have provoked... Let me give you a few snippets of my background to flesh out the picture a bit. Most of my life, I have been one of two extremes: 1. Highly praised and favored or 2. Highly assumed, backstabbed or just...the recipient of mean . For number 1, the main things I have heard over and again: "You're so encouraging, the most humble person I've met, sweet, kind, beautiful, fun..." ... For number 2, I won't go into details, but let's just say my trusting vulnerable hear...

The Endless Quest for Unity

Definition of unity: 1a : the quality or state of not being multiple : oneness I have often struggled with the word “unity,” but I have been confronted with it over and again lately. A few examples: -Looking for it in the middle of a conflict with my spouse -Hearing it touted as the goal for America by government leaders -In issues of racism, unity is the cry of many. -The church is called to be unified over and again in scripture I have struggled with the word unity as it just seems like this unattainable mountain when I look at it with my human eyes. I think, because I want to “feel” something before I can be unified with something. I want to make something happen, ultimately, justice, before considering unity. I need to know that I can trust the person who is calling me to be unified in the area, or with person xyz. Funny how you can know the truth for so long, but then one day, your “knowing” hits you in the face as ...
