WAITING FOR?

I haven't blogged in forever... I've thought about blog posts ~ probably hundreds of them. What was I waiting for? A chic blog design? To be a master photographer? To attain some level of Mom wisdom? For all my devices to be synced? Yep... Waiting for it to be perfect... Oh my what does that even mean? Perfectionism = No Producing... Missed memories... Waste.
No more... My computer is outdated; I have no idea how to work this Blogger app on my iPad and now I just don't care. Time is passing, I woke up. In the flaws there is unmistakable beauty; in my humanness there are answers.
Little Nasher is 2... He's talking in sentences. He's asking questions. He tells me he loves me when I leave. He loves to cook. He's saying NO ~ a lot. Im ordering another spanker for my purse~ thank you Meaghan. Christopher's shoes are half a size from me throwing them on to get the mail~ my heel barely hanging off the edge of his flip flop. I guess I should wear them to check the mail~ I love to be anywhere he has touched. He's going to need braces~ I can't wait to tell him how handsome he looks in them. Nate has found his niche~ he's really a ninja & is writing comics telling of all sorts of adventures with the sea and the jungle. I think he would have a pet jaguar if I could pull that one off. He takes care of a mating pair of lizards that live on our porch. I'm sure they stick around just for him. He grins every time we serve the honey. "Nature Nate" honey is the best that will ever touch your lips. Cooper makes silly videos with tape mustaches & silly voices. His script all original~ he is JOY. He serves & serves~ always putting himself last. He looks like me... I so love that kid.
Instead of talking about what was I dream of what is to come. I feel spring... I go barefoot more~ now high heels are kind of a pain. What??? Yes, the Shoe Queen sees options. Most of the time I have an inch of grey roots; it only bothers me if my hormones are out of whack or I loose focus of why I am here. I'm actually amazed at the white hairs~ they are beautiful~ they are wise~ they are authentic. Don't get me wrong... in moments they make me feel 80 years old. Then I look around & 80 is gorgeous.

Gratitude

Hubs grilled steaks~ we never go out for a steak~ his tops any 5 star spot
Nates gentle reminder when I'm upset~ "give it to God" ~ did I really say that? Babe Wisdom
iPhone camera~ I take about 1600 pics a month
