Just when you think you have it all together, you realize you don't. This has been an unfortunate theme for me this week. Nothing major has happen just a series of little things that make me wonder when I will start firing on all cylinders again. You know, things like getting to the mall on time to have pictures taken and finding out that you have no stroller and two babies or getting to a movie with your stroller and finding out you can't take it in or waking up extra early and getting everyone ready to get out of the house on time only to realize that you can't wear what you have on because you look way too fat and then spending the next 20 minutes tearing your closet apart only to become more depressed with each outfit. Needless to say by 1 pm today I realized that my soul was in desperate need of replenishment. I am lucky that I have a great support network (thanks Paul and Lara) and was able to take some time for myself today. In fact, as soon as I finish blogging I am going to take a hot bath and climb into bed with a good book. I went to mutual tonight for the first time since Charlie was born and we watched The Testaments. It helped me feel the spirit and take off my blinders so that I could put things into perspective and be thankful for all that I am blessed with.
This morning Lara and I took the kids to Farm Land at Thanksgiving Point and George loved it. Last year he was pretty timid around the animals but he loved it today. He even fed one of the llamas. In fact, all of the kids were feeding the llama and then the donkey that was in the stall next to the llama let out a loud, sad hee, haa because he was jealous. It was really funny.

oh amy, i admire you, and think you're doing a wonderful job. i totally relate to the tearing your closet apart thing. i have two closets packed with clothes, but only about 5 things that truly hide my fat rolls. i end up tearing my closets apart pretty much on a daily basis...and ruby's what, 10 months?! yikes!
Amy, you are awesome! I know that I am totally going to be feeling the same way after this little one is born. I am so large! I'm going to be living in sweatpants and t-shirts. You look great! I know I'll be feeling the same way as far as not being ready on time and all that fun stuff!
I am so sad that you are going to be out of town! We will get to Utah either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and we will be leaving Sunday sometime. Maybe we'll get to see you for a minute on Sunday!
