am i losing it?

i am over doing it for sure. since i lost my job i have really needed a way to express my creative side. i REALLY miss designing. so much so that now i've created two scrapbooking blogs, one dedicated to my girls and the other dedicated to watching emma grow through her first year. it started as just working on their albums for them but i realized i wanted to share what i was doing my family. since we moved to belmont they no longer get to see them on a regular basis so i felt that this was a great way to share with them what was going on in their lives. plus i did a terrible job documenting madison in her first four years. of course i just didn't have the time. i was a full time student in a very intense design program at UNCG and their just wasn't anytime to scrapbook. then we moved to baltimore maryland for my job, then my father passed away and we moved back..... well you get the point. i've been through a lot in the last 10 years of my life. what i realized after i had my girls is that life is too short.. i miss my mom everyday and everytime the girls do something, anything, i wish i could call mom up and tell her all about it. i know she's watching me and the girls, but it's not the same. i'm rambling.... the point of all that is that i want to photograph, film, scrapbook, write all about my girls because i wish my mom had done that for me. if something was to happen to me i want them to know what they were like when they were little. and just how much i loved them. i'm realizing how fast it goes and i just want to hold on to it for as long as i can. i wish i could have asked my mom all the questions.. was i like that... did you want to pull your hair out when i did the same things madison does. she always said that i would have a daughter just like me.... that's a little scary and i see it everyday in madison. that's probably why i don't seem to have a lot of patience for her sometimes. but being a mother is the best job i could ever ask for. my mothers sister and i were talking this week and she said that she thinks maybe emma would be the daughter that my mother always doomed me to have. (whether you look at that as good or bad). a friend mentioned to me that God has provided for me this far and that he will continue to provide (talking about me getting a job), but i thought about that and thought what if it's God's plan for me to be a stay at home mom? so i told marty that maybe that's what my mother doomed on me :) to stay home with two girls who are just like me. ahhhhhhh i am looking forward to what God has in store for our family and am going to take it one day at a time. i will never have these moments back. that's why i always say: sweat the small things, life's too short. enough of my rambling.

so check out my new blog
