This Current Chapter

(Wrote this earlier this week and forgot to hit publish! Ooops!)


I'm dreaming in mushrooms, gnomes, tea cups and fairies right now. There is moss and glitter on our dining room table, contents that are being put together for a wreath and Sookie's fairy crown for her big birthday bash on Saturday. Lately around here it is long to dos and then celebrations when we get those to dos turned into big exclamations of tada! (Thank you Whippy Cake!) This current chapter lately is warm weather in the 40s leaving me itching for spring and all things rain coats .....and yet learning to embrace what is, today, right in front of me. A never ending and always worth reminding lesson in my story and life.

We are singing abundant amounts of both Pink and Frozen songs around here. Changing up the Pink lyrics to more appropriate Sookie level. Example? I'm gonna drink my milk, I'm gonna drink it now, Let's turn off the lights! And I love you tonight, I'm alright!

I'm reminiscing about this time 4 years ago I was cursing the fact I had to stay pregnant a few extra days because Fed Ex doesn't do deliveries on weekends. We donated my placenta for research (since, at this point, less than 10 women with cystinosis had experienced a successful pregnancy) and it needed to be overnighted to San Diego and therefore, I could not be induced on a Friday. Oh, life...you are funny.
