8 month Craving gone wrong

So all I want are sour patch kids. craving, dying for them and cant get my mind off of them

So dig into my wallet, count my change and i have exactly $1 in change to get my sour patch... yesssss

So I go to the machine and see there are no sour patch kids but there are mike and ikes, that will do.

I punch in the code and down drops a Turkish delight. Ahhhh i put in the wrong code! Not a kit kat or crispy crunch but a TURKISH DELIGHT.

So I'm standing there almost about to cry (thats right, cry) because now im out my last $1 on me and no mike and ikes. Then i scan the room and notice a change bowl for coffee so i run over, throw the Turkish delight in the change bowl and grab $1.

I go back to the vending machine, grab my mike and ikes and shovel them in like I haven't eaten in days.

Now I sit here feeling unsatisfied because at the end of the day all I wanted was sour patch and now I can't stop thinking about the turkish delight in the kitchen that I don't even like.

Professional Decision Maker

I've decided that I want to hire a professional decision maker. I'm tired of making any decisions for me, Hayden, our family, etc and wondering if I made the right choice. I think I would like to put the responsibility of wondering and researching on someone elses shoulders. How nice would that be? You would never ho and hum between vitamin brands, job opportunities, what to wear in the morning, what to eat etc etc etc.
Love it! I wonder if I can find one on craigslist.

Walking Baby!

Ok... I only was able to catch the last few steps on tape but at least it's something!

He was so proud of himself, cheering and waving his arms.  He could hardly believe he was doing it as well,  walking slowing and looking down at his feet.  Must be so exciting to learn something new every day.

Little Old Ladies

I just have to say that I love little old ladies. More importantly... Little Old ladies with accents. It doesn't matter what kind of accent, but an accent none the less. Reason being? They are the only people that a) can predict just by looking at me that I'm having a boy and b) are actually thrilled when they find out how close in age the two boys will be. "Oh how wonderful sweetheart" was the line I received this morning. "I see you are having another boy" As I carried Hayden into day care I was stopped on the street by these two little ladies walking arm in arm, probably just going for a morning stroll.
There is a wisdom about these little old ladies (with accents) and why wouldn't there be? Years of experience hidden behind those eyes.

A few simple and kind comments from a stranger can do wonders! Maybe I'll take the day off of work and track those two ladies down. I'm sure they have a thing or two they could teach me and god knows I'm willing to learn!

Random Deep thought

OK,
I have come to the conclusion that our soul purpose of parenting (besides food, shelter and love) is to stop our children from making a series of stupid decisions in life which could lead to them hurting themselves in the end.

For example:
Putting your finger in a light socket... stupid decision
Eating dog poop... stupid decision
Setting your hair on fire... stupid decision
Marrying a hooker... stupid decision.

I guess it becomes tricky as the babies grow and options become more complicated. My question being... how long is it acceptable for me to assume I know what's best?

Until I die? That's what I thought!

These words sum it up!

To both of my babies...

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when youre far from home

And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As youd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart youll always stay
Forever young.

May good fortune be with you

May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young.

And when you finally fly away
Ill be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
Im right behind you, win or lose
Forever young.
