Everything. Nothing.

Mainly this post is a little bit about a lot of things, but not a whole lot about anything.

Shall we get started?

*Ok, really fast I just want to make a side note about my previous post. I think a few things may have been misinturpreted. Just to clarify I wasn't trying to say that you're bad if you're a working mom or that everyone should postpone school to be a mom. I just meant that it's the reason I personally am postponing more school and my career. I know that while I feel this is right for me it might not be the right thing for someone else. So, I promise I'm not judging you nor do I think you're a bad person if you're doing things differently than me. Mainly I just meant for the post to be about how I believe that motherhood is a divine roll and shouldn't be looked down on.

Now that we have that out of the way let's talk about the fact that my niece and nephew are here!

 First came baby Henry. Isn't he adorable? I don't have a picture of me holding him because he snuck into this world a couple weeks earlier than he was suppose to, so he had to be in the NICU for a few days (don't worry though, he's doing fabulously now). Then Jayson and I both got sick, so we didn't want to go see him after he got home, but hopefully soon I'll get have that little guy in my arms for the first time. Do you see those cheeks?! To die for.

The two pictures above are baby Jayden. Isn't she beautiful? She has the loviest face and, though you can't see it here, lots of dark hair. Thankfully she was born before I got sick, so I got to hold her. There is nothing like holding newborn babies. Nothing in the world. It's magical. It's perfect. Nothing else matters but you and that little baby.

I think having new babies in the family is just about the most exciting thing in the world. I mean, think about it, there are two new human beings in our family! Two new kiddos to get to know, to make us laugh, to watch grow. Two new personalities to get to know.




On a completely different note I've been thinking more about having a dog. Because I really want one. It's really starting to sink in that Jayson is, in fact, allergic to dogs. He's allergic to the saliva and the dandruff, we think, so a hypoallergenic dog wouldn't really help. Maybe allergy shots? They're expensive. But, seriously guys, this is a big deal. Me without a dog is like chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips. But I don't want Jayson to have to be weezy for the rest of his life, each and every day. Maybe if I keep the house really really clean? And don't let the dogs on the carpet?

I've contimplated having an outside dog, but I don't know if I can emotionally handle it. I know that dogs really are fine outside, but I'm crazy and I'd just feel too bad making them stay outside all of the time. Maybe if I got two I wouldn't feel so bad about keeping them outside? And if I built them a really awesome dog house?

In the meantime though, I just hand out with this guy:

He's my Mom and Step-dad's new puppy. Is that not one of the cutest faces you've ever seen? I'm his favorite. He gets super excited when I come over and he doesn't just love everyone like most labs do. He isn't mean, he just doesn't take to people right away like a lot of other dogs. But he loves me the very most. I just know it. It's probably because I let sit on me and jump around and be crazy. Or maybe because I'm really likeable. Or maybe I'm a dog whisperer?


The going ons around here have been fairly boring, as one or both of us has been sick for the past week and a half. Jayson got sick on his birthday, poor guy. But this also means that there's been a lot of Boy Meets World (Because I now own the first three season. BEST. BIRTHDAY PRESENT. EVER.), Avatar the Last Airbender, and HGTV watching goin on around here. Which has actually been kind of nice.

Especially because, have you guys ever watched HGTV? I just discovered it about a month ago and I'm positively addicted. Seriously you guys, I watched it for four hour straight on Friday. I haven't watched that much TV all at one time in years. But it's fantastic. I'M. OBSESSED. It's probably a really good thing that we don't have cable at our house because our house would probably get cleaned a lot less frequently than it already does.


Speaking of which, does anyone else feel like a failure at cleaning their house? Because I feel like everyone I know has amazingly clean houses and I haven't vacummed in an embarassingly long amount of time, so I feel like a failure. I just can't seem to keep up with it. Maybe it's because I do things like blog. For example, I could be folding laundry right now, but obviously I'm not. But honestly, I don't feel like I waste time very often. I feel like I'm constantly busy, but nothing gets done. How does that even work? Really though, I'm beyond frustrated. I've just come to accept the fact that I over schedule myself and I probably always will, so I should probably just get used to it.

Or maybe I could work on not over scheduling myself. I've tried though, and it never works. Just sayin'.

Tomorrow is leap day. February has an extra day, but it's still short. I can't help but wonder why we don't just take a couple of days away fromt he months that have 31 days and give them to February. Why did it get stuck with just 28 days anyway?

Also, any of you ladies going to propose to your boyfriend tomorrow? If nothing else you should at least watch Leap Year with Amy Adams. It's one of my favorite chick flicks of all time. That's what I plan on doing anyway.

Also, I was just thinking about this post and it made me think about how weird blogging is. For example, I'm wondering why it is that I felt so compelled to tell you all that I love HGTV, have been sick, have watched a lot of TV, and want a dog? I really have no idea.

But, let's be honest, I mostly wrote this post so I could post pictures of my new niece and nephew.
