Cheesecake, Stability & Joy

 

IMG_1755

He is my cheesecake, she is my stability and the smallest is my joy.

Now you can’t go wrong with cheesecake, stability and joy in your life can ya?

In reality I can say that I do have stability and joy in my life…ok maybe not every day. Don’t judge me if I don’t cause at least I know what I want. One thing I do know that I do not have is cheesecake. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE BRING ME SOME CHEESECAKE!!

creamy soft…maybe raspberry…maybe cherry… maybe just plain. It don’t care…just get me some NOW!!

I really was not planning on speaking of cheesecake. It just came up and now I am afraid I will not sleep until I find me some. I have many other things to talk to you about,really I do. It’s just I am deeply distracted at the moment over the thought…ok to stay true to what I was going to share, I will try my best. I cannot promise much since cheesecake is the ONLY picture in front of me.

Monday and Tuesday I took my kids to the beach with my sister-in-law and her kids.

I love the waves.

I love the water.

I love the sand.

Somehow this time round I had to struggle to see the beauty of it all. My pregnant state has me irritable at the smallest things. The kids were great help but I was STRESSED OUT till I arrived home.

It can’t be that I am too old for this some people have babies at 40.

It can’t be the simple fact of pregnancy cause I did it three times before and was never bothered by anything.

IT MUST BE THE LACK OF CHEESECAKE!!

I did enjoy the boardwalk.

At the end of the day we say…I will lift up my eyes until the sky. From whence cometh my help? My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth.

And please Lord, send Momma some real cheesecake.It WILL make her more patient with us and I am sure she will speak in a softer tone with that creaminess in her stomach.

They both got them selves too worked up to stay standing.

My Dad he finds excitement in the simple games,the ones that take little time thinking but provide lots of time for social interaction.

A beautiful day Sunday!

RELAX – would be the word of the day.

A phone call from my brother at 1:00 in the day asking,  “can you take me to BWI asp?”

Within 10 minutes we had kids packed for Grandmas and I threw on a dress, put make-up in a bag and out the door we went.

Two hours later the Elvin man and I are doing this…

I have ALWAYS been in love with any place that lets you walk on brick!

IMG_1654 

and I get a much more lovey-dovey feeling when seeing A man sitting by brick.

IMG_1636

What is it that makes one like something more then another something? 

Some like lizards.

Some like feet.

Some like red.

Some like Pete.

I LIKE BRICK. I WILL BUILD ME A HOUSE OF BRICK ONE DAY.

Not straw

not sticks

but BRICKS.

What do you like?

Three

 

The man of the house is sitting on recliner with laptop in lap ( in case you did not know that is why they call them lap tops)

I am sitting at my computer corner.

kids and puppy are sitting in front of flat screen watching “Yogi Bear”

I take one glance over at my three beautiful children and sigh…and then I stare…and then I mumble, “wow what beautiful three little children they are

The man on recliner is quick to respond to mumble.

They are so much more beautiful when they are all sitting still and quiet.

IMG_1454

gosh, I love them tall, I love them small, I love them quite, I love them loud.

Ok, doesn’t exactly rhyme but it works for me.
