hello, monday

it's monday.  

now that school has started, i'm trying so hard to get back into a routine.  a routine that includes blogging.  yes, it's been awhile.

so here's what my day has looked like thus far:

i started by bawling my eyes out reading this post.  read it.  be blessed.  i promise you will be.

then i walked past the boys' room.  and saw this.

bubba's bed.  almost perfectly made.  beautiful for an 8-year old, right?!?!

then i saw this.  {sigh}

oh bruiser.  how much i love this kid.  

like any good mother, i immediately texted pictures to their daddy.  so that we could praise their differences.  so that we could both have a really good morning laugh.  i'd share our texts back and forth with each other, but it may or may not make us look like bad parents.  {wink}

moving on........ this is what my closet currently looks like.  hello, monday.

and my room looks like this.

i love hand-me-downs.  sorting them??!?!?  ugh.  notsamuch.

so i'm off to do all these lovely monday tasks.  i'm also debating on whether to break my 8 year old's heart and not go out and buy his teacher a birthday gift.  OR hope his little heart stays unbroken and we give her a gift tomorrow.  i seriously don't want to put on real clothes.

but before i can contemplate my mothering skills, i've been instructed to play guitar to a little girl's rock band.  she's on drums.  of course.  and i must say, despite her counting out the beat in 5s, i do a snazzy rendition of the ABCDs.  any hippy coffee house would be proud.
