I have been having reflecting on growing up, and I have been having some then and now moments...realizing maybe I am maturing just a little. And that, my friends, is exciting :) For purposes of this entry, "then" refers to anything before "now."
Then: I can't handle Bryan being sick.
Now: I don't like Bryan being sick.
Then: I have to have a big house
Now: I want a house where my family can all fit at the same time...or at least fit in 2 shifts :)
Then: I won't be a good mom if I don't have 12 kids
Now: I won't be a good mom if I have 12 kids :)
Then: I want a huge family
Now: I know we have at least one more. After that, we'll see...
Then: If my house isn't done by fall, I will lose my mind
Now: If I have a toilet so I can move in by thanksgiving, I will be happy.
Then: Staying home with my kids will be so nice...I can get so many projects done, and cook and clean, and look pretty when Bryan comes home.
Now: Staying home with my kids is a gift...but I'll have to wait for them to move out to get projects done :)

You made me laugh with the 12 kids thing... Ok.. I laughed about a few other things too. You're amazing. Is there an announcement being made about another child? :) Just Kidding...
I love the toliet thing. All you really need is a toliet and life is good.
You're so cute - you make me smile! I enjoyed reading this post - especially the part about getting projects done!
Good post. Interesting observations...it's funny how a little experience can change your whole perspective!
I'm so there on that last item ... time is a funny thing. On paper I should have plenty of time for scrap booking and long walks and have a perfectly clean house every night. In reality, I can't even tell you when I last cleaned my toilet (but I am grateful to have one!).
I love that all though the circumstances don't change, it's when our attitude about them changes that makes all the difference.
You are great!
