I realized...

that moments don't just happen out of nowhere, you have to create them. I've been really depressed about the mundane every day, day after day, routine. Not really a routine, mostly just wake up and see how the day goes. Evalie and I were really getting on each others nerves. Charlie is pretty much allowed to roam wherever whenever. I was spending an exceptional amount of time doing nothing and getting aggitated when I was disrupted. Needless to say I was not happy. I decided by giving alittle bit of effort I will be able to have more productive and happier days. Today Evy and I make cookies. She got to pour everything in and I stirred and put them in the oven. I learned some things during this event. I don't like to make messes, but that making messes is okay and I should allow them to be made. I don't eat cookie dough, but Evy loves cookie dough. We make a great batch of cookies! The most important thing I learned during this process is... moments don't just happen they are created. With a little bit of effort on my part I can make memorable moments in mine and my children's lives.
