A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
-Eda J.LeShan  

I was reading an article from Time magazine. It maybe was their online publication, I cannot remember. It was this past sunday, March 6. It talked about how basically people are suckered into being parents. It's a deathwish financially and emotionally. It was the most absurd article I have read about parents. I had to laugh. I mean I get that all of your money is used for other things besides going out, drinking, buying new things for yourself all of the time. I get it. And yes, emotionally it's exhausting, it's hard removing yourself from the center of attention and replacing it with a helpless little child. Honestly I cannot think of anything more exciting than spending my money of my child. There is a satisfaction that comes with caring for something.( I wonder if the people who wrote that article had pets? ) As far as those amazing emotions that comes with being a parent, ohmygod. Let me tell you, there is nothing better than sweet, morning sugars. Mmmhmm. That's it right there. Super, amazing emotion fireworks!
 I really don't know where I am going with all of this. I just thought the article was nuts. Maybe my head is a little scattered, a lot blurry since I am currently..........

 Growing another bebe!!!

 What?! Holy shitballs batman. Yes. Baby #2 is currently under construction. I will have my first appt March 28th to see how far I am, but I am pretty sure I am 5 weeks. I know it's to early to start blabbing my mouth to the blogworld. Whatev. I am to exhausted, overwhelmed, excited, nervous, what the hell am I going to do with 2 kids, I get to name another child, shaking, crying, dreaming, planning... to think of anything else other than telling all of you lovlies!
So here we go again!

"Healing", Papa would tell me, "is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature." -W.H. Auden

"To finish work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture." -Pablo Picasso

Think about it...

she finally got her snow! no words for her excitement. her mouth was to full of snow!

shadow friend

my honey. he hates pictures.

We have been snowed in the last two days and honestly it has been wonderful. Much needed time with my husband, and Scout has been having much needed time with her daddy. He works a lot and teaches martial arts in the evening so we don't get much time with him. I think we should have mandatory state shut down days every month.

To waste time on what's important.

If I wait until I become perfect before I love myself,
I will waste my whole life.
I am already perfect right here and right now.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But YOU are eternity and YOU are the mirror.
-Kahlil Gibran

This quote makes my entire body turn into mush. Such a powerful and wise use of words. I could live inside the book The Prophet by Kahil Gibran. At the beginning of December I got the quote "Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity" tattooed on my left inner forearm (will post pics soon of it!!). It is a quote that means everything to me. I am a dreamer, and I always have been. Through the roughest times of my life I have trusted in my dreams, and they have never failed me.
I am thinking this quote will be added to my body as well!
