This picture epitomizes my life. Little girl had the phone, bed unmade, struggling with the wiggly baby, trying to get out the door. :) I can see the humor in it.
Ok so this post made me want to sit down, have a cup of tea and chat. Heart things, life things, weather, kids, etc etc. I need another Idaho visit! By the way, the bug picture is pretty awesome, you can see the intricate details on his glassy wings.
ReplyDeleteI want to chat!!
DeleteI like that you don't seem to have the "identity crisis" that some of us had at your age and stage. Nice posting. It's all real. Yup, I like it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do, Arla. But I've asked a lot of questions, and I'm learning that I'm me, even as a wife and mother.
DeleteI think it would be so interesting to see more posts like this. With three pictures that show who you are in life as well. Shall we start a challenge?! I can identify with a lot of your I ams. We must be sisters. We must have good personalities because we also have so many good friends with good personalities who like coffee and phylosifying also!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I challenge you to do your own "I am" post. Can't wait to read it!
