This cutest face says it all. 'Some days everything tastes like a turd, but I'm so sexy!!'
I know I feel like I've been thrown into the blender of life, with a zucchini. Nasty zucchini. Blech. UNTIL it is made into bread. And then it's good. (See, that's a deep metaphor. Read it again and then hang it on your fridge).
We've had chaos surround us in the Heaton household as of late, although I'm sure it's muss less chaotic then the trials the rest of you deal with.
We've had a lousy, busy, insane week and this morning I just decided to call in sick.... because I AM sick. No, really. The chaos made me go all sicky. So as I'm laying here in my 'sick pants' (do the rest of you have those or is it another weird 'Ev' thing?) I am thinking I am not slowing down enough amidst the chaos to truly enjoy so many of the blessings of this life.
Especially the baby awesome. Old ladies are always so right, that he grows too fast to even know. He is 10 months...almost 11. He is freaking WALKING (well, like 5 steps and then freaks out and canon-ball dives). He's talking (he says 'yaaaay). And he's TEETHING. Which is the crap thing of it ALL. Perfect little sleeper? Not any more.
Earlier this day, while still in my sick pants, I was watching baby tv shows. Where is my BAAAA-BY? WAAHH!!!
So here's to trying to enjoy the little things, the teething sleepless nights, and to celebrating his growth. Soon, he might be old enough to be enlisted as my slave, so at least THAT is something that is good about growing up.
No really, today I'm overly grateful for this little miracle of mine. And for my life. I truly haven't felt this happy, albeit a little stressed, before. I love my boy, I love having my BFF sisters and nephew so close to torture every day, I love my little cheese of a husband, I love my job, I love my baby-sitter, and I love being able to see my toes again. So sick pants, or no pants, I'm having a good day.

You are sooo funny! I have sick pants too! Old grandmas are right...little ones do grow fast! I was just thinking today...it's about that time again, you know, to have another baby. :) I contemplated and then realized that no, I want to enjoy the stages my Carter and Cannon are in right now. Hope you had a good sick day! ;)
Geez! He has grown so much since the last time I saw you! I expect to hang out together SOON! I need to pinch those little cheeks of his! We need to play, so you can show me how to be a girly mama!!
I love reading your posts Ev, you're do funny! And your baby is so dang cute!!
I used to have a pair of sick pants, but I don't fit into them anymore :( and haven't found any others that work for me!
Hope your life settles down some for you!
When I read this post yesterday I had something brilliant to say... I didn't have time and didn't comment now I don't remember. I am an old lady like that... I guess I rule ;)
I love you and your sicky pants and your most adorable baby awesome that is the cutest baby alive. Life is too fast and too chaotic...thanks for reminding me to be grateful. Hope you feel better!
Oh my heavens you have the cuttest little boy on the planet! He is ADORABLE! I love the posts written in your sickee pants and am so glad you've found a little joy! I agree I feel like we all don't take enough time to enjoy the little things.. perhaps a trial of our day. You looked FABULOUS at the reunion sorry I didn't get to talk to you more!
