I don't take the time to write on here as much as I should. Guess I'm busy with other things! I made our other blog private to protect my children, but if you are reading this and want to view our other blog, let me know! I'll see what I can do to hook you up.
Lots of things going on these days. The twins turn 2 tomorrow! Time passes you by so quickly. I've pondered this thought for quite some time now. The only thing I can come up with as to why this happens is because we DON'T live in the moment! As adults, especially those of us with young ones, we are constantly thinking about what comes next. Next time to eat, snack, change diapers, take a bath, eat, change diapers, snack, fun things to do....loads of laundry, I'm stopping myself with the lists now because I am thinking about what to do next rather than what I am writing about. You get the idea. There is always so much to think about. I tend to be a worrier too. I worry about things I shouldn't. Which is also another reason I let time pass by. I worry about the things that COULD be rather than the things that ARE. I should stop that. Great, now I'm going to worry about worry. Excellent.
As kids, we focus on what is in our immediate surroundings. Always learning, always fascinated by what's right in our face. Growing strength, trust and love. Always happy, and when not happy, expressing ourselves. This list could go on and on as well!
What I'm going to focus on these next few days are simple.
What I'm thankful for
What I'm going to do about the things I can do nothing about
What I can do better
Easy Peazy.

Ashley- you and I should form some kind of support group for worriers. I probably have it worse than you do!!
This is a great post and I think it will help you tremendously to be able to just write through your feelings. It's important for you to reflect, not only in your role as a mother, but also in who YOU are. I tend to forget that I was *Beth* before I became *Christian's mom* or *Cate's mom.* And that's why I just let it flow when I get onto my blog.
I am the same way in that I forget to live in the moment. Already I am thinking that I can't wait until Cate can sit up on her own, and then I look at Christian, and I want to smack myself for thinking that. Time flies, and I should remember to enjoy Cate as she is now... fresh and new and ALL BABY!
