Happy Sunday

Today actually felt like an extremely long day in a good way. After church this morning, we had nowhere that we had to be, and it was the best feeling. We all took an afternoon nap. We ate lunch outside on the deck in the cool fall day. This past week has felt like a bit of a blur. I've not totally gotten back into the swing of things since returning from Louisville. I was going through the motions, but I couldn't tell you much about last week if you asked me. That's probably pretty normal for me, but I will say that it felt intensified this week. I felt awkward in conversations with people. It just wasn't good. Anyway, I was THANKFUL for today. I'm thankful that I feel better today than I felt last Sunday. I'm glad I played with my kids outside on the swing set and ran through the yard bare foot. I'm glad that we went to 32 degrees tonight and saw a beautiful rainbow on the way there. Jaggar's Halloween costume was also purchased tonight, and let me just say that you cannot WAIT for that one. It's no where short of being awesome.

Loving the new swing set. We play out here every day. Yes, I get up in the house part with them. And I MAY also go down the slide. It MIGHT be a whole lot faster than I bargained on it being.

I will always be young at heart. Beautiful kids, don't cha think?

In other news....I meant to post this at the beginning of this year...well part of it. I was going to confess that I never washed my face at night. I slept in my makeup all the time. PURE. LAZINESS. Vanity kicked in for me, as it usually does, in realizing that I'm almost out of my 20s (NOOOO) and I need to do something to take care of my skin. SO, I got all this skin care stuff to start a routine back in January. AWESOME. I do it, too. I wash my face. I moisturize. I do the eye serum. To have gone from NEVER doing that to doing that 2x a day is a big step for me. Proud moments. Again, I meant to blog about that, but then I thought, who really cares? Some day, my kids may wanna know though. So anyway, on to the current status of the situation. If I go from NEVER washing my makeup off at night to a full blown routine, WHY does my skin look like this? WHY???? Growths on my chin, bumps all over my head. My skin is confused and has now reverted back to circa 1993. Travis says it's from makeup, but I don't even wear it except like if I have to go to church. So warning, if you see me out, I'll probably look like that. Apologies in advance.

Exhibit B: What the heck is that? Do I go back to NOT washing it off? I had better skin then! I'm certainly not losing sleep over it (though the black circles under my eyes say otherwise), but I will say I'm not thrilled about it. I don't expect any suggestions, but at any rate, maybe I helped someone else feel more thankful for their flawless skin. Adios. And Happy Sunday.
