reality check

Dear Sunset, you were so incredibly beautiful the other night as I was driving home from the laundromat.  I just love the little bit of Alaska that I live in so very much!  Dear Pixi Nail Polish, I love the colors you come in so very much but I can't stand how strong your fumes are!  It's going on day two of being able to smell the seemingly quite toxic fumes wafting from my nails, ew.  Dear Perfect Curtains, please (please!) make yourselves known to me.  I don't think I can stand returning one more set after getting home to find that they don't look 'right' in my room.  Plus the beautiful curtain rods I hung nearly two weeks ago are getting lonely.  Dear Steve, I love you and miss you lots every day when you are at work.  But I have to admit, the house stays much tidier when you're not in it as frequently!  Dear Riggs, you spent your 'nap time' yesterday babbling to yourself instead of sleeping.  Maybe you were plotting your next attempt at destroying something in your room again.  I love how you give me daily reality checks in regards to having a child.

a lovely idea

I thought that the little gnome 123 cards would be adorable above Riggs crib

reality

they got ripped down and destroyed within days of Riggs learning how to stand up in his crib
