As the days go by and I browse through many of your blogs, I think often, 'It has been a long time, I need to post something. But what?'.
Maybe I could write a post about Cade losing his tooth last week. Not so exciting, probably. Or I could write about Lila starting to let go of the table and even taking one (and 1/2) steps towards us on the couch. (We are really excited about that because Wednesday is her very first birthday.) I have even had the thought to write about the Happy Gram that Phoebe got in PE this week. Remember those?
The truth is, the more I have thought about how boring my life is, the more grateful I am becoming for it. We've all heard the adage that greatness comes from mediocrity. Is my life mediocre or just on its way to greatness. Depends on my mood. So this post is dedicated to gratitude and changing my mood.
Right now, we have dance on Mondays, gym on Tuesdays, golf, cub scouts and basketball on Wednesdays, gym, again, on Thursdays, FREE FRIDAYS, and basketball games on Saturdays. As much time as all of these sports and activities take up, this is what I pictured doing before I had kids. I love it!
If only I could manage time better, I'm sure I could squeeze some 'me' time in there somewhere. But, for now, I anxiously await the weekend when Casey and I can get away to dinner and a movie. Here's to great babysitters!

PS- Is anyone up for Cloverfield Saturday night? I'm so excited for it.

AMEN SISTER! Your life is definately not boring...at least to me...but I think we lead the same life!
I have often thought about making up stuff just so my blog would be interesting. haha!
The way I look at it all with the 'me time' thing is...the first 20 years of my life were all about ME! Now it is time to get to focus on someone else (or four others). I'll get the me time back someday, in the mean time, I too am loving my boring life!
Oh girls! This is what we are ALL doing. Come on, who has an exciting life. I really think we have to enjoy every minute of it. Life as a mother is never borring, Never! I look at my mom, and she is about to be a empty nester, and she is really getting depressed. I think I find myself sometimes thinking hurry and get my children all here. I have really changed my mind set. whats the rush? When there gone, what in the HECK will I do! I can only travel so much with my hubby, yes there is the wonderful mission part. Life will drive me CRAZY if I am not constantly changing laundry, chassing kids, yelling at kids, making dinner, cleaning, feeling guilty about the way I acted that day towards my kids, helping with homework, jamming out to tunes for carpool. I know I am really rammbling on. Seeing first hand how much my mother loves being a homemaker, and I know you do to girls. That day my last child walks out the door, lets just say I am really nervous....
Brianne you are to cute, loved that post!
I'm going to really miss this boring life when it is over. Although, I don't think it will ever really be over. I'm just glad we 'moms' are all in this together...oh wait now I have that High School Musical song in my head! Don't lie...you know you are singing it too. Here's to all you wonderful moms who give me hope! Especially you Bri!
Ditto- although I'm not as busy with lessons as you. It's refreshing to know other people are content with the everyday-happenings of their lifes and what being a Mom really entails and aren't pretending how fantastic and exciting it is 24/7. Theres few people that I get inspired by through blogs but you're one of them.
Your life doesn't sound boring at all. It sounds wonderful. You are a great mom. You have a great family and beautiful, active kids. That is something to be proud of. And, I am SUPER impressed with your photoshop skills. Have you been enjoying it?
