It has been quite the cloudy, rainy week here in Indianapolis!! It makes me want to simply snuggle up under my covers and watching movies all day long. And by movies, I really mean “Twister.” I feel the strongest urge to watch it whenever it rains. Every single time!! Weird, I know. I have always loved a good thunderstorm and who DOESN’T love Bill Paxton?! It’s really a win-win. But any who…..onto this week’s Monday Mashup!

Here’s a list of the learnings/events that transpired this past week:

• Jackson talks all the time. ALL. THE. TIME. Never ends. He’ll ask me a question, which I will promptly answer. Then he goes on a litany of asking the same question 100 more times like I didn’t answer it. How do most parents not spend 100% of their time bash their heads on something during this stage??
• Jackson turns 3 in ONE MONTH. BACK OFF FACEBOOK MEMORIES! I…..can’t even. Excuse me while I go sob in the corner.
• I find myself at times just staring at Harper. She is that beautiful stage where she is becoming her own person and I am loving every minute. More crying….where’s my wine?!
• Jon and I were able to plant even more flowers around the house. I love them so much! I find myself just wandering to each window box to stare at them. What is it with me just staring at things?? I sound like the biggest creeper!!
• We also bought a rhododendron for one of our mulch beds in the front that still needs some loving….I wish the rain would go away so we could get it in the ground!
• I headed back to Butler at the end of this week for more training time. Boy, did I miss their shenanigans!! They finish up a few weeks earlier than Franklin does, so I was lucky enough to be there to celebrate the amazing seniors that graduate in the next couple of weeks!
