The Truth

We all know that blogging is just a part of our lives, right? Like we don't just craft and love and eat good food all the time. I hope you know that. Blogging is just a part of it all, a wonderful part. Just like you'd pick a flattering picture for your Facebook profile photo, I pick out the snippets I feel like sharing with you all - the bits and pieces I think you might enjoy, for whatever reason.

The truth? The truth is that I'm exhausted. Ingrid was up half the night all night with a fever. (Second night in a row.) The truth is that Addie now has a fever, too. The truth is that my hair is looking scary. I haven't washed it in 3 days. The truth is that I ate homemade nachos for lunch because we're out of food. The truth is that Addie is getting 6 teeth all at once - including her molars - and has turned into a raging, screaming, biting crazy person. The truth is that there are crickets peppering our basement and no matter how many times I sweep or vacuum them up, they reappear. The truth is that the house is a mess (you already knew that) and to be honest, it doesn't bother me all that much. The truth is that I am swimming drowning in work and not finding a single minute to focus all of my attention and get something done. The truth is that Addie's birthday party is this weekend and it's going to be awesome but there's still so much to do. (Including get both girls HEALTHY again.) The truth is that in attempting to cheer the girls up by taking them outside, Addie grabbed and got stung by a bee. The truth is that I am 100% spent, 100% thankful for my husband, and 100% ready to have a normal day.

That's the truth. Living on love, most of the time. Sometimes, surviving on love.
