Calendar Thought and Reflection

Sorry, this is not a "Bush-ism," that calendar is at home. It is more reflective and thoughtful (at least I think).

When you are lonely
I wish you love;
When you are down
I wish you joy;
When you are troubled
I wish you peace;
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty;
When things are chaotic
I wish you inner silence;
When things are empty
I wish you hope.

OK, so how I feel right now. Things are definitely not empty. With our work schedules and preparing for Emmy's birth we probably wish our glasses were a little more on the empty side. Things are pretty chaotic. We (yes, both James and I) need to make it through the TSHA conference. I am also trying to make sure my classes are ready for maternity leave. Luckily, things are not too chaotic with the pregnancy :). On that same thought, things seem complicated, but everyone says that it is about to become more complicated. I guess the sleepless nights, breastfeeding, diaper changing will all add up to complicated! But, I know Emmy will be beautiful and worth the complication! Troubled, when aren't I troubled about SOMETHING! I am not down, I could take another week without school, and I would be much happier sitting on a white sand beach, but I can't complain. I am definitely not lonely...I have this little fetus hanging out with me everywhere I go! She already has a personality with her kicks and when she chooses to kick (her favorite kicks are to music). She keeps me company and helps me to ignore annoying things!

Have a good night/day...depending on when you read this!

Awwwww, Kel! I'm sorry things are so hectic for you guys right now. I'm sure it IS crazy with TSHA now - my thoughts are with you! Can't wait to see you guys on Saturday though - will be good to finally (properly) catch up!

You sound busy!!

If it's possible right now, go out and have some alone time with James. I know that sounds alittle bossy...but this time is so precious for you two.

I wish I could be around for you (just give me a call and I'll be there pronto - :) , but I know that you're in good hands with James and everyone.

BTW, I know that you're going to be a great mom. seriously.

Looking forward to meeting Emma Lu!
