Letting go.

Well it now looks like Ayden has my pink eye. I knew that it was more than likely inevitable, but I really tried everything to make sure he didn't get it. Thank God for breastmilk that pulls through again!

It's times like these that make me realize that I have a tough time relaxing and just letting go. I HATE missing church on Sundays (especially my Sunday school class!) and whenever my schedule is tweaked in just the tiny way, I get all out of wack. And it's like I am incapable of relaxing. Ayden is downstairs sleeping like a baby, and I just can't seem to stop thinking about everything that needs to be accomplished! Not that I am mad at my poor sick baby, but it's really hard that my day has been altered. Ugh. Well, I thought that if I made an entry that is totally mindless and random might help. Here goes.

If you didn't already know, here are some quirks about me:
*I love linen. If it didn't require ironing, my entire wardrobe would be linen.
*I hate ironing! Seriously, give me any other housechore (heck, I'll even mow the lawn!) but ironing. I get extremely uptight and impatient, taking it out on the clothes. Half the time my clothes turn out hardly ironed because I get so angry. It's an issue.
*I would much rather eat the batter of the brownies than the actual brownie itself.
*I equally love cookie dough as much as the cookie itself.
*I love to wear skirts. If anyone wants to ever give me an article of clothing, give me a funky skirt. size 6. Thanks. :)
*I LOVE summer! Not only is it my birthday season, but there is nothing more satisfying than not having to wear shoes (or come on, let's admit it, much clothes).
*My new favorite show is Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. I am obsessed. Literally. I want to be them. They inspire me, make me laugh, and have even made me cry. Somedays I feel like their relationship is carbon copy of mine and Corey's. 8 kids??? hm.
*I have extremely sensitive ears. I think I was actually in denial of it when I was younger because I did the usual teenage thing and blared my music, but it always ended up in anxiety and headache. My sister knows this about me and likes to come in the house shouting. We have a text message-type lingo that when I say "UN" I mean unnecessary noise and cut it out!
*I am really trying to seek balance in my life. It needs it BADLY. The exercise catagory is the worst.
*I read the same magazine 3-4 times before moving on to another one. Not in the same day though. I noticed this at the Gallagher's house because Renee always has great ones to look at. And everytime I go back, I see something I didn't see before.
*Oh, and I usually read them from the back to the front. Yeah, I'm weird.
*I have high hopes one day of teaching a breastfeeding class at a crisis pregnancy center. Gawl I would love nothing more.
*I have high hopes to also learn how to play the piano, sew, and take dancing up again.
*I am bound and determined to go skiing or snowboarding next winter. I miss it.
*I've never had any chili better than my mother's. And that's a fact.

Okay, that's all for now. Must go help the madre with making lunch. Maybe more ramblings later.

...I bet you can't wait.
