Dear Mace, I want to be you today. A child with no responsiblities, lazy mornings, cartoons, a morning with NO work outs, NO dishes, NO laundry... JUST simply relaxing and laying with the kitty.
Dear fire, Thanks for being there for me every single day of my life. I turn you on from sun up to sun down. Hope the bill is not to high, but I just don't care because you warm me up every day in this cold, exhausting winter weather.
Dear red and gold frame, thanks for cheering me up yesterday. Your colors and patterns made my heart happy and you matched my valentines theme. And thanks for allowing me to hang with my sisters and eat a big pink sugar cookie at your store.
Dear third window, thanks for letting the sunshine PEEK through the corner of your window today. My spirits really needed to see a ray of the sun. Plain and simple. The sun makes my life thrive and I sure was missing you.
Dear Science fairs, traffic school, patriotic symbol class report, and valentine class parties, you are simply my last straw. I am done, I am tired, can you all go away and give the Stott household a break. Mama's tired.
(and dear cop at traffic school (last night), thanks for letting us all go home early if we bought a snicker and a drink...your one hour was much better than two. And I so didn't deserve $115 ticket on a right turn! )

Dear life's road right now: will you stop just for a sec? I need a break. Just a moment to collect our thoughts. On the brink of a big decision. Sure hope our faith has helped us decide. The unknown is scary but also a litte exhilarating.
New adventures + new experiences = growth.
And lastly, dear bloggy readers, whoever you may be.
Thanks for putting up with all my thoughts and pics. I thank you every day too for being an outlet for me. For allowing me to use creativity and words in such a crazy way.
A blog? the internet? wow, who knew. But you bring me joy every day too.
And if my hunch is right, this blog may take lots of twists and turns...not sure which direction it will lead. but will know soon enough.
So today, be good. alright?? I need a break, I have a headache, I won't work out, I will clean (a mama can't get behind!), and I will go to lunch with a good friend. (thank goodness for her!)
Yay, for all of that, I am grateful. today. yes today.
till next post ....! xo

Thanks for being thankful. Maybe I can find something to be thankful for today too. Mace's life would be awesome. I love the Science Fair boards. They look so clean and professional. Yay. So happy to be done with that. I can't wait to see the road your life is headed down. We still be friends no matter what!!!
I'm thankful for YOU!
sissy this post was beautiful. i'm so sorry life is hectic and scary for you right now. i am praying that things will get easier for you and that you will make the right decision, even if it's a decision i don't want you to make!
xoxo ♥
You BOTH have me crying!
but good tears...
I'm extremely grateful for you girls in my life. xo
Isn't it nice when the simple things in life make us the happiest. I was making Quinn's bed this morning and felt the sun through the window. I stood there for like 5 minutes just feeling the warm sun. That made my whole day happy. Hopefully things will slow down for you and you will know what's going on. (Even if I don't want to know!!) Mace was so cute at my house today, I think I will miss him as much as I will miss you! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Amber.let me just say...
YOU are the sweetest to my Mace man and it means the world. When I saw the 11 minute hug he gave you, my lil heart was so grateful he had an aunt like YOU. He loves you like a second mom. he really does. I can't stand to think of him not running out to your car in flip flops and shorts, climbing in your car for a playdate...ohh I better stop. I AM so lucky to have a sis like you. xo
I, too, feel I can learn so much from you. All of us some how need to savor the little things and be grateful for where we are at our particular place on this Earth. Each day arrives never to be lived again. THanks for reminding me to try to make the most of it and enjoy all that I can. We need each other and no woman is an island and all that stuff and we need sunlight and hugs. I love you and love the woman you are!
