Right now, I need to crawl into a bubble... immerse myself in this blog... and pretend that the past two weeks just didn't happen. 99.9% of this /what I now call/ Mommy-Blog is happy go lucky... Life is wonderful... Our family is amazing... I'm lucky lucky lucky. Maybe even at times its sickening sweet.
Are our lives perfect... can I get a (well this is family friendly) so... Heck No! Are we struggling with what to do with Shawn's new found "back talking/I know everything/the world is mine/I don't need to listen to you because I'm three" attitude. Yea, its a challenge. Do we raise our eyebrows as our red headed tantrum throwing one year old bashes his head off of the floor in his fits over apparently nothing? Um, yea... it's weird! Do Jon and I squabble over the littlest nit-picky stuff sometimes... like who left crumbs on the counter... or spent too much money this week? We are human, right?
So why did I need this blog bubble when I just spewed out some "quirks" of ours? Because the reason I choose to make 99.9% of this blog "La De Da Happy Pants" is because we are fortunate... we are blessed... and we have an amazing thing going here. In the past two weeks we have seen more of the world outside of this bubble that we are apparently living in then we ever cared to know about. I'm not going to bore anyone reading this with details... but just know... that we know... there are some pretty scary and messed up situations out there.
Back to bubble world... where its comfortable, happy, and relatively stress-free.
