where to begin.

i'm mostly blogging because i'm tired of looking at that sad mouse pancake down there.
i'm sure you are too.
christmas is over.
my house is finally clean.
i turn 30 this year.
the dirty thirty.
tim turns 28.
oh, 28.
just call me cougar.
i know you are but what am i?
the girls got new beds.
& cute new duvets.
nothing like any of the inspiration pics,
but you know what? i love them.
audrey got a bloody nose all over said duvet.
perfect. 
it came out. don't you worry.
tim has 15 apps in at different places.
not all fire.
colorado springs.
sacramento.
fullerton.
to name a few.
we'll see where the good Lord takes us.
one of audrey's tubes fell out.
a+e's hair got really long.
mine did too.
we dropped out of preschool.
can't afford it.
broke in our passes at disneyland on the busiest day of the year.
our pc crashed.
we paid 130 bucks.
they fixed it.
but wait, they didn't.
back it went.
a+e graduated from speech.
but they still have a language delay.
did you know there's a difference?
i just learned too.
still learning.
now they're gonna go to a special preschool program for that.
through the school.
for free.
and just when we quit preschool.
crazy how it all works out, eh?
hopefully it's the elementary they'll go to for kinder.
did you know they could actually be old enough to go to kindergarten next year?
say it isn't so.
so.
who knows if we'll put 'em in.
thinking of keeping them one more year.
hard decisions, but God knows.
a bit overwhelmed,
but my house is finally clean.
did i say that already?
well it is.
i was 10 days late.
10 days.
don't worry.
it was a false alarm.
i was a hormonal beast.
my poor husband.
he's so good to me.
christmas is over. 
new years too.
now onto spring.
thankyoulord.
i think i need a hug.
& if you know me, you know i'm a hugaphobe.
not really. but kinda.
so here i am. asking.
-------------------
okay, i'm ready.

and now, some random pictures with my random post.
happy ellie at disneyland.
i woke up to these guys staring at me the other morning.
oh, just hanging out in anthro again. you know.

when i'd be extra whiney & complain-y around my papa, he'd always say (in his best sarcastic voice), "ah, cheer up, molly. jesus loves ya." i keep hearing him in my head. ha! makes me smile.

soooo, thanks for listening to me whine.
jesus loves you too.

Tristen said...

Sounds like you've had a similarly blessed but miserable holiday... I kind of need a hug also but don't even think about it because I'm getting over the most nasty gross flu ever. And unpacking. Wow about the preschool miracle, I think it's crazy how the Lord is always watching over our little families even when we are crazy busy and out of control. Good luck with your apps, maybe you guys will move over here to Bakersfield (we're brand new here). Take care!

oh molly i've missed you.
love you so much too!!!
i'll be praying for you sweet friend - i feel like i'm in the same sort of 'funk' that you are......and wondering where God will have us next and what we'll be doing......
i suppose that's the joy of life - change, and the comfort that our Father has it all planned out for us already :)
keep seeking his will molly!!

i am super excited to see the changes happen in your life! change is good, so refreshing and keeps us on our toes - and also, forces us to rely on HIM and not just on ourselves. new stuff is scary - but you'll embrace it beautifully :)

and CONGRATS to a&e for graduating from speech :) and how AWESOME - preschool funded FOR you, amen to that. you are a GREAT mom molly. and a hot little wife too :)
keep lovin your tim and the girls - you are rockin it molly - keep your head up.
and there's a BIG'ole hug comin from kansas city. and maybe a smooch on the cheek too.

lindsey leif said...

oh my goodness. i just now 'got' the sad mouse comment. i'm a bit slow these days. and how crazy - i just thought to myself this mornin that i need to write a post so i can stop staring at my pink bustier!!!!!!!!!!

Cole Franke said...

Prayers and hugs coming your way from Arizona. Hope your weekend brings lots of rest and happy news. XO

your papa sounds fantastic.

you hold your head high molly june!

Olive Oyl said...

Don't you just hate those "just teasing!" situations. Being late = no fun.

Sorry you are down. If you were here I would sing "Cheer up Charlie" to you. But it is probably better if I don't... cuz I can't sing.

I am not a hugger. I keep hugging people trying to become one because I feel like I should be one. But I always just feel like an awkward 8th grader at a dance not knowing where to put my arms and face.

Just look at these darling pictures of your girls. Their darlingness would cheer up anyone on a gloomy day. :)

I have lived in CO for a year and a half, after living in Orange County for 23 years. I wouldn't move back to California if I won millions upon millions of dollars. It will be exciting to see where the Lord takes you and your sweet family!

Talia said...

it's unbelievable to me that you're not a hugger. Because I want to squeeze you every time I look at you. I'm with Davi... I'm a cuddler. Just can't help it. Watch out, Molly. I'm so going to hug you. Wish I could right now, actually!

Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you and your sweet ones in 2011. I know it'll be GREAT things, wonderful things, happy things, perfect things, all in His amazing plan thought-out and tailor-made just for you! Ah, such a beautiful thought. Keep us all along for the ride, mmk? I love hearing about EVERY little thing... the ups AND the downs. That's life. And you live it beautifully. :)

love the pictures. love YOU. xoxo

The Helton Family said...

Hi friend! I could relate to so much of your post. So much! Hang in there!

Oh, and my girls can start kindergarten too. They barely make the cut of date. But I'm waiting. I need another year with my babies. I'm just not ready to let go :).

Chelsea said...

Your randomness put a smile on my face! I feel like we just has a real life conversation! AND, I'd hug the crap out of you-a real long hug that almost gets uncomfortable.... those are the best!

Maybe Vegas would be a good place to come?! Play dates? Coffee? I could adore you and your sweet/gorgeous girls!

*Speech delay-smeech delay! I was in the dumb kid classes growing up because of my dyslexia and I sort of grew out of it... I did however write "sti" instead of "sit" when I was writing someone a letter the other day. The dyslexia shows up every now and then.

Thanks for this post. I know what to pray for you about! Big hugs girl! <3

I love this post Molly, so real. It makes me miss ya! Happy 2011!

Kirra said...

you're just plain ole great. i loved this post. loved the honesty. praying your husband finds work. goodness gracious our economy is insane right now. i hear you. glad for the provision too for preschool. and way to rock those disneyland passes. disneyland is one of my all time favorite places. especially at christmastime- so hopefully you got a tiny taste of that. ;)

the last picture rocks. go star wars.
