I'll Take "Insanity By The Number" for 500, Alex.

1 house that needs to be completely packed up in the next 2 weeks.

1 mom that just wants this whole "moving thing" to go away.

1 mom that is eating to much left over Halloween candy instead of hitting the gym...and is unhappy w/ her tone...or lack there of.

That same mom remembers that it's not about whats on the outside...and also remembers that she needs to teach 5 young girls that Truth...so get a grip, mom!

1 husband that is needing to be at the office late...almost every night.

1 wife that is thankful for a hardworking husband that is trying to meet the many needs of our growing family.

1 couple that is tired of bills.

1 mom that is beyond excited that the Peppermint Mocha is back at Starbucks.

2 babies that are turning 1 in 3 days.

1 parent that seriously can't believe it.

1 million smiles that those 2 little girls have given us over the past year.

1 3yr old that gets away from me faster than I thought.

1 teeny, tiny Amber Alert in Target tonight for a certain 3yr old - involving many walkie talkies giving out a description of my child.

1 sweet friend that my daughter was with, safe & sound.

1 mom that cried in the makeup section of Target while she told her kid to: Never. Ever. Wonder away again.

1 more "Not - So Mother Of The Year" award accepted :).

1 much needed laughing till you cry session after that with a close girlfriend.

0 dull moments in this sweet life.

5 little girls that are a breath of fresh air.

5 loves that make my day.

1 birthday party tomorrow.

1 polka dot cake, and 5 red velvet cupcakes to pick up.

1,000 pictures that might be taken as we celebrate Kinley & Raya's 1st birthday...you know how I can get carried away w/ the camera...well, or anything for that matter :).

1 mom who is so very thankful for the insanity, even if it does feel slightly overwhelming sometimes :)!

I hope the moving goes well for you and is over before you know it!

So glad that everything turned out last night at Target... So scary! :(

Enjoy the party and the girls' birthday!

Have a blessed weekend! :)

oh girl... I know you are busy beyond belief, but I miss your posts! I desperately wish I could invite all five of your girls to come play at our house while you take a couple of hours to pack in peace. Just know that someone's praying for you many miles away :)

Walkin' this crazy life with ya!

One overwhelmed Mama, wishing that her house would sell so that she could move.

One happy Mama that had a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha this morning.

One Mama with memories, that has lost a child or two, once or twice.

One celebrating Mama with a daughter's birthday and cupcakes today.

Laughing with you! Crying with you! Celebrating with you!

Praying for you!

Hugs!
