Ben Howard

i think ben howard is big overseas but i just discovered him on the safe haven soundtrack. i like his original work but dig this cover. gives call me maybe a completely different edge.
so call me maybe.

I like it when you show that you care. thats all i ever need from you

Madness

you've been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked.
try approving of yourself and see what happens.

foster 2 months eats like a horse! no seriously he does. is wearing 6-9 month clothing smiles at me in the morning cries for 2 hours every night goes to bed at 1130 and -if we're lucky- sleeps until 5. makes so many noises trying to talk farts like a man has stolen mommy and daddy's hearts hair is auburn and eyes are blue

just give me a reason

Sometimes i get caught up in the negative and forget to look at the positive.
today I'm choosing to focus on the happy i had today

1. first waking up- changing my little guys diaper- and him grinning up at me.
i didn't realize that would be the best feeling i've ever encountered.
it is what i wake up looking forward to.
2. my husband holding my hand. i think that he will still hold my hand when we are old and grey. he's not romantic but if he can just keep holding my hand. makes me dream.
3. going for a run. feeling blessed that i can run. plus loving my new shoes.
4. pancakes- coffee- and diet coke. my favorite food groups.
5. getting caught up in a book- reading if i stay.
6. and right now holding our son. god i love him.
7. wonderful family
8. Dreaming about our new home that we're waiting to close on.
