Up, down, and all around

Life looks so different now yet similar at the same time. I think I envisioned being a parent/creating my own family differently before I entered this new world. I have a tendency to envision fairy tale scenarios and not be all that practical in my mind sometimes. Not to say that I don't have fairy tale moments now, but the day to day life as a parent can be quite grueling in the blink of an eye and it often throws me for a loop. I agree with the parents I have talked to over the past year that this is the hardest job I will ever have.

After a hard week, I woke up to a new week full of joy.

Thank you to our friend for dropping in last night spontaneously and making us feel like normal fun-loving adults once again.

Thank you dear hubby for suggesting I use a box of hair dye I found stashed under my bath sink. It was something spontaneous to do (there's that word again!) that brightened my mood. I am now sporting "roasted chestnut"-colored hair that has a nice shine in the sun.

Thank you to my dear friend Jessie for going out on the town with me. I needed the uninterrupted girl time.

Just when you get to the point where you don't know what move to make next, life surprises you.
