I get in these moods where I wonder what my idea of a perfect life would be like. I would wake up every morning from a wonderful nights sleep and have all the energy in the world. Everyone else in the house would wake up on their own and happy and ready to start the day. Since I would be oh so organized clothes for the day would already be ironed and hanging in the closet, lunches would be packed, and my house would be immaculate because of course I would have time to clean it or money to pay someone to do so. Did I mention that this house we live in would be just a bit bigger with a yard, a playroom and a sewing room, and would also be in a location closer to our families and Brian's work? Brian would be off to work and I would take the kids to preschool while I spent the day taking care of things for my family, doing a little sewing, or indulging myself in something that I truly enjoy! We would come home at the end of our day and the kids would rest while I fix dinner that we would all enjoy and sit at the table to eat. We could enjoy family time just playing and enjoying being together. The kids would get baths and go to bed without a fight and I would get to spend time with my husband. That would be the life!
Truth be told, my life is so far from that that it is not even funny. I really love my life ,but I there seem to be a lot of less than perfect days lately. I'm not one to wish that things would be different, but I really have thought about it lately. I love my family so much, but I wish that they would all be healthy and happy just for a few days. There could be things that could be a bit easier. I guess it is the hard times that help shape us. I also know that it is during the hard times that we look more toward God and fully rely on him. He does carry us. He does get us through it, we just need to fully depend on him everyday and not just during the hard times. I'm guilty of that at times. I don't spend enough time praying and seeking God in my decisions. He has shown me that I need to do so more and that his plan is perfect. I just wish I perfectly understood.

Where does my time go?
I really did intend to do a good job of keeping things updated, but as you see that didn't happen. The Lachina family, everyone except me, has been sick and keeping me busy. We have started preschool and are keeping a very busy schedule. I don't really find time to do much that I want or need to do these days.
A little update on everyone... Brian has been battling some nasty sinus stuff for weeks and hopefully we will get it taken care of next week with a little minor surgical procedure since meds are not doing the trick.
Rush is growing up to fast. He is learning letter sounds and is trying to sound out words already. He got his first pair of New Balance tennis shoes which make him run very fast. At school their behavior chart is a slide with a mud puddle at the end and if you get in trouble you move your animal to the bottom and your second offense lands you in the mud puddle. He has been there twice I believe. Apparently he talks when he is supposed to be quiet and he has a hard time staying in his seat or in the line. I have to laugh because he is so me. Don't worry I don't let him see me laugh. He also has taken up a new hobby of playing games on the Playhouse Disney website. He figured it out all by himself.
Mason is the silliest little boy I ever saw. He is still sporting the mullet hairdo. I believe he is going to be sneaky! He has found great joy in playing inside the tent I make in the den with kitchen chairs and a quilt. Who would have thought that a blanket and chairs could be so fun! He has been battling a little sinus stuff like his daddy, but it hasn't slowed him down at all. He loves going to school and playing with his friends. I think it helps when you have all the teachers wrapped around your finger! He does have a new bad habit of hitting people with his lovey. I don't know that this happens to anyone but me and Rush, but that's enough.
Not much is going on with me. Just trying to stay ahead of the game and keep my house and life somewhat organized. I try at least!
