Married Single Parent

that's me. that's what i call myself on days like today. where i am alone with the girls all day and all night. it's exhausting...and it makes me wonder how in the world true single parents do it? today was a rough day...karissa was acting up (which is strange because she usually never does when it's just me around). she got at least two mehm mehs and one time out. ella's napping schedule has been a little bit strange this week. adding onto the stress and exhaustion of the day.

on days like this, it's hard for me not to be bitter and annoyed. not at anyone in particular. but just at the situation. on days like this, it's difficult for me to put things into perspective. but i know i should. i know i must. all day...i took a deep breath and screamed silently inside. all day...i asked God to give me strength to make it to the next hour. and all day...He heard me silently shouting and held me closely in His arms.

Resemblance

my beloved angels: you two do not look alike, despite what others might say. however, there are two shared features which connect you two as sisters and best friends. you both have pillowy cheeks and plushy chins. i have kissed, kissed, and kissed these extravagant parts many a times. and i love how they are so wonderfully placed upon your sweet faces.

So as to remember later...

i created this so that i can remember these beautiful yet difficult years of raising karissa taylor and isabella ansley.
