Banchy - A wild creature with snarly brown hair that is excessive in all its activities.

For those of you that know me; you know I don't sleep much (hence the name of the blog). The above picture is a very accurate depiction of what I felt like this morning as Derrick's blankety, blank, blank, blank alarm went off at 4am. So what do I do; try to go back to sleep FAIL. Then he leaves and puts the dogs in the kennel; our new little bundle of joy (please hear the deep sarcasm) decides that he's going to cry - I'm screaming from the bedroom NO! Now as I'm writing this I'm laughing b/c there is great humor to be found in this whole situation. All I can say is "Hold on world; here comes the banchy"!

Waiting isn't always a bad thing

8. to be in readiness for; be reserved for; await

Derrick and I were talking last night about how we both just have an overwhelming sense of peace right now. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's like everything going on just doesn't matter as much anymore. I feel like we have finally come to the place of true waiting. Before I fought it so hard; I was stressed, couldn't sleep, was worried about my job, and not satisfied with anything. Now, as we know that we could possibly be pregnant next year; it's like are priorities are shifting. Our priorities are God, each other, then everything else will be ok; it will happen with or without us because we are making ourselves available "Waiting"!

 

I have undervalued the peace that comes with true waiting for way too long.

Great ways to save money....

I love the magazine REAL SIMPLE. They had a great article with all kinds of ideas on how to save money. Below are some links that I think are worth looking into:

This was not in the magazine, but it is one of my fav's. You have to have a free membership, but for the online shopper this is fabulous. I found tank tops that I really needed for $1.99. Love this site!
