From cane reeds, sugar.
From a worm's cocoon, silk.
Be patient if you can, and from sour
grapes will come something sweet.

What Have I Been Doing?
We have a lot going on right now and I'm exhaused. I was bit by two baby black widows. Aidan was bit by a dog - what a horrible experience. We're patiently waiting for...something that all of our thoughts center around currently. Luke is growing up too fast. Grandma Vera is getting the sad version of old. Ermie is still alive. Olive is a pain.
I've been making lots of macarons and eight-layer cakes and my house is a disaster zone. We're at that annoying stage in life where Aidan has outgrown nearly all the baby items, but is still too little for all of Luke's big boy stuff. So we just have too many items entirely.
I think that pretty much sums it up. It would be nice to have a vacation or even just a regular weekend off with the husband, but there is stuff to be done.
One great thing - the hideous couches that have lived in my garage for the past four years are finally gone! It's amazing. I will feast my eyes upon them in the new church.
Change is coming. Either way. Get ready.

The Quiet Man
I've been feeling a little weird lately. I'm not really feeling like writing much. Perhaps now that I've said this, all my emotions will come spilling out. Some of it has to do with me turning 30 and getting a little depressed about that. Believe me, I can take the old age. What I'm depressed about is all the change this new decade will inevitably bring to my life. I hope it's good, but I know there will most likely be some goodbyes.
My 91-year old grandma, my 16 year-old cat...the health of my parents, perhaps? The childhood of my children. Perhaps these are the best years of my life. I'm so thankful that I get to be with my kids and not miss out on any of it.
It will be gone in a flash.
