My house is so quiet right now. I can hear the childrens' noise machines coming from their bedrooms. The television is off. Matt is out with a friend and I'm not ready to go to bed. Tonight I got to hang out with three sweet little girls in addition to my precious brood. The house was full of laughter, toys and happy children. Now they are all asleep.
It's funny to me how people always say "wow, you get to live in Charleston!" when in truth we live 30 minutes away from downtown and hardly ever go there. I went downtown on Friday for lunch with a friend and a quick stop to pick up a birthday present and it took me 4 hours with driving, traffic and parking. And I shelled out 4 dollars for parking!
I'm back on my granola kick! I made a double batch today! I heart granola. Especially with yogurt and berries! My all time favorite breakfast! Did you know that granola is good on ice cream? It makes a wonderful topping! You should try it sometime!
I'm going swimming tomorrow for the first time since last summer. I'm terrified to put on my swimsuit. I have no idea if it will even fit but I refuse to buy a bigger one!
I am still battling the terrible habits I picked up during my last pregnancy of overeating and no will power! I could kick myself for giving in to every preggo craving and for not working out! It is so much harder to lose the baby weight the third time around! Wyatt is almost 9 months old and I still have 20 pounds to lose - not to mention the additional 15 pounds of "Sara" weight that needs to go!
Speaking of my adorable son, Wyatt has become a little vacuum cleaner as he crawls all over the house now! I am constantly swiping my finger in his mouth and finding bits and pieces he's put in there! The little stinker!
As difficult as it has been, moving to a new city, living in apartment, raising three kids, this season in life is not the hardest season I've ever experienced. That thought is very reassuring to me, oddly enough. Losing my Daddy at the age of twenty, then becoming a wife and Mommy without him watching, is the hardest thing thus far. The scars, both physical and emotional that came with the Endometriosis diagnosis, also knocked me down hard.
Sometimes a girl just needs her Daddy.
