Leap of Faith

For those readers of this blog that may not know yet Scott has decided to go back to school up at Utah State. In August we will be leaving the apartment complex that we have lived in since we got married. We will miss all of our wonderful friends and family but we are also looking foward to our new adventure. I am a little nervous about all the change but Scott is so excited to finish his education that I can't help but be excited too. We both just feel so good about this choice and we know Logan is the right place for us right now. At USU he will be majoring in Geography and minoring in GIS. Most people don't know what GIS is so here is my best explanation. It's basically the technology that goes into navigation systems, and GPS types of technology. It's a perfect fit for Scott and I have no doubt that he will do great. Money will be tight but we will be fine. If anyone knows of a great apartment or any apartment complex that needs an awesome manager let me know. So I guess all there is to say now is...Go Aggies!

Torture

Today is a bad mom day. One of my biggest beefs with blogs is that often times it seems like everyone else has a perfect life and yours has no chance of ever matching up. Well, to spare all of you that are reading this from feeling that way today I will come out and say that life is not perfect today. Last Friday we took away Spencers binki. At first I thought it was going pretty well but we have since taken a turn in the wrong direction. Spencer has not taken a nap since last friday and as each day comes and goes and he gets more and more tired he becomes harder and harder to handle. This morning he woke up at 5:00 am and now he is so tired. It's nap time but he is in his bed screaming as if I am torturing him. I have no idea what to do from here. Feeling very humbled and like not a very good mom I ask for any advice.

A True Mother's Day

Today I had the type of day I think every mother needs every now and then. At the gym the other day I saw a few minutes of the movie "27 Dresses" I thought it looked pretty good and decided it was worth seeing the whole thing. Spencer had a really bad night last night and I didn't get a lot of sleep and I was just dragging all morning. So this afternoon I went to Red Box and got the movie and then came home and put Spencer down for his nap. For the next 107 minutes it was just Me, the chick flick and a bag of cinnamon bears. I closed the office turned off the door bell and the phones and had some me time. I feel so refreshed! I am however fighting a small feeling of guilt knowing that Scott has been out all day working hard, and that I ate a half a bag of cinnamon bears.
