Fond Memory Friday!

I am so excited to share this story! On Tuesday I took Aqeel to the fanciest hotel we have ever stayed in for our 6th anniversary. It was the Westin in downtown Greenville. We stayed in our room all evening just watching tv and eating room service. I was a lot of fun!! Here are some pics...

Wisdom Wednesday

On the sidewalks in our downtown area are marble spots with writings. I found this bit of wisdom on one that I really liked...

Common sense is genius in working clothes. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am stealing an idea

My super smart and completely cool friend Diane does themed posts throughout the week on her blog. Since I am having a hard time thinking of interesting things to write frequently I decided that a few themed days may help out my blog. So, this what I came up with...

Manic Mondays - where I write about crazy and chaotic happenings
Wisdom Wednesdays - where I write the smartest sounding thing I heard or came across that day.
Fond Memory Friday - where I will obviously be sharing a fond memory.

I hope these things will be of interest to all my faithful readers and also help satisfy my blog addicted friends!!

Manic Monday - cell phones

I don't know why but I have the hardest time keeping a cell phone. I don't loose them. I wash them or get them wet by some other means and they stop working. In the past two years I have gone through four phones. Three have gone through the washing machine and the other got wet when the girls did the dishes. So, today I should be recieving my phone replacement. I am excited to get a new phone, but I feel like I have lost my whole life since everything was on my other phone.

Amaya being, well Amaya

Today Amaya saw me naked and asked..."Mom, why are your boobs long and hangy?" I don't know what Amaya's boob obsession is, but she sure put me in my place with that one (not that I needed to be put there or anything).

sick of being sick

So, being pregnant sucks for me right now. With everything that is going on in our life I don't have the time to be nauseous, but I am. This means that life is a struggle, but I believe that if it isn't hard than it isn't worth it. Although I believe this it does not always make things easier, but I do try to keep that mentality otherwise I would just loose it. Anyway, I am so surprised at how draining this pregnancy is. It has really made me realize that I am not a young person anymore and that aging is happening to me. This is not something I am affraid of, rather it is something that I didn't think was really happening. I have been living my life secure in the fact that aging was easy and doesn't really have an affect on me. I guess I now see that I was wrong. (it's a good thing that I can admit that to myself, right??!!)

Another infamous quote

Amaya said today, "Fishy candys are a guaranteed treat!!!." She was refering to sweedish fish a new fav of ours.
