a midwest nest

I need to find more time to blog. it seems like every time i get to it, i have a million things to get off my brain!

for starters, roman is a stinker! :) he thinks it is totally fine to sleep horribly sporadically and for 20 minutes at a time. 40 if i'm lucky. i've done a lot of reading on why this could be happening; a calcium deficiency (hmm), that's just the way he is, yadda yadda. But what i think it really comes down to is i'm not consistent with anything. woops. i have trouble keeping a routine for myself, let alone someone elses. i thought it wouldn't be very hard, but it's proving to be a little on the tricky side. in a word, discipline. yikes. So, starting tomorrow i'm going to write down a new routine for us, and i'm going to stick to it, no matter how much it takes. at least until we get it down. what i want to accomplish more than anything is for Roman to be able to put himself to sleep and STAY asleep for at LEAST an hour. say a little prayer that he transitions easy enough.

on another note. I feel like God is really challenging me. i'm reading a great book called 'the fruit of her hands' by nancy wilson. A friend is loaning it to me, and i'm learning so much! The jist of it is about what it looks like to be a Godly wife, mother, and woman. oh! so good! i highly recommend it to any woman! Right now i'm reading about what it looks like to respect my husband the way God has commanded. It's a real challenge because it's forcing me to think w/ logic, which i rarely do, rather than w/ my emotions, which i always do. good stuff! i feel like i'm growing a lot.

okay, so i cannot remember any of the other 'million' things i was going to blog about, cause it's been a few hours since i started this...had to run to the grocery store. WHICH by the way, why in the WORLD is fareway sooooo busy at all times during the day. seriously! there is never a slow time there. so stressful! anywho! see ya!
