Nicole feels

I am updating tonight simply because it has been several days since my last entry. I really don�t have anything to talk about. Life has basically been the normal, every day, I-am-a-wife-and-mom stuff.

One thing I have realized over the past few days is that when I experience a spiritual victory of sorts, I end up feeling out-of-sorts a few days later. Nothing I can really put my finger on. I just feel stressed and a little off-kilter.

It probably has had something to do with the terrible headache I have had on and off all day. Granted, it probably didn�t help that my diet up until almost 2 PM had consisted of two cups of coffee, a piece of cheese Danish (gotta love samples) and a cinnamon-sugar pretzel from Costco. I am usually much better at feeding myself than that. Ah, well, everyone has their days, right?

I even took a nap this afternoon, and I really think I could have slept all the way through until tomorrow morning. That is, if I hadn�t been having weird dreams about escaping pets, our former pastor�s wife, and Leonardo DiCaprio. I have no clue what that was all about!

Perhaps I should lay off the cinnamon pretzels first thing in the morning.

Today, P brought in mondo bags full of clothes from his mom�s. Parker was helping him carry them down to his room. He said, �This is a lot of trash!� P tried to explain that the bags were full of clothes, but it just didn�t compute in Parker�s paradigm of trash bag usage.

He just continued uttering, almost in awe, �This sure is a lot of trash!�
