Here are some random things I feel like sharing with you.
I am a different person than I once was. I remember at one point in my life, I would flip out if I stood a small chance of being late ANYWHERE. Until college, I arrived everywhere 10 minutes early... during college, I began the downward spiral of arriving closer to "on time" (aka, 5 minutes early)... and then after I was married, I started getting places on time, like actually on time... and now... well, let's just say our church starts at 9:00 AM, and this morning we left at 9:05 AM.
How many coffee shops have creatively weaved the name "JOE" into their name? Why do people call coffee a "cup of Joe" anyway?
Today at church, when I was dropping Henry off in the nursery, the girl who was working in his classroom said, "Oh, I remember seeing you in the Old Testament class last year when you were pregnant!" And I said, "Oh really, that's funny... I guess pregnant people sort of stick out... literally." She didn't laugh, but Matt went ahead and commented on how funny my joke was - but he was being sarcastic. But I thought it was pretty funny.
Also, because of schedule and inconvenience and a lot of other excuses that really equate to bad planning on my part - I almost always drop Henry off at childcare places when he is both tired and hungry... as you might imagine, this doesn't go over well. He usually cries.
It's NOON, and we are supposed to be meeting our friends for lunch at 12:15 at a place that is approx 11 minutes away, and Henry is asleep and I am not ready to go. See first paragraph.
Oh, yes, update - Henry started crawling on Tuesday. It was soooo fun to watch. It's like he woke up, and all of the sudden he knew how to crawl - the right way, too... opposite arm and leg... you know whatev. Well, it's time to go, but I will tell you one more thing.
I want to share more fun, deeper, real things that are really going on in my life, but I just barely have the time to share the surfacey things, and I haven't learned to deal with this.
That's the end of this post. Leave me a comment or something.
Also, I didn't sleep very much last night - this might be obvious.
Love,
Leah

hahaha I love this! and I love you!! i know exactly what you mean - i am totally struggling with the blog stuff and finding the balance of being too surfacey but also still talking about deep important things! so hard!
I saw a quote that made me think of you. It went something like, "the trouble with being prompt is that there's no one there to appreciate it." Tell yourself that next time your late.
-your beloved ALWAYS late friend, sil.
Welp, I haven't checked my reader in, oh, months, and decided to check it now. Why at 1:41 am? I'm not sure, but I did and that's why I'm commenting. I liked your joke and I laughed out loud... a couple of times. While I'm here, I came across this blog and thought you might like it: http://www.kelleysbreakroom.com.
That's all I've got. I'm off to read some more posts.
