Audrey OCD

I've come to realize something quite significant...

I'm not the same Sheena.

I have Audrey OCD

I realized everywhere I go, everyone I talk to---all I do is talk about my darling daughter.

When Brent and I were dating and I was hanging out with my friends I didn't want then to get sick of hearing 'Brent' stories so I would refer to him as 'my friend' so unless they were really clever they wouldn't realize that the last three stories I told were about the same person or most importantly they wouldn't know they were about my boyfriend. Yes, I was clever. I hid my obsession with my boyfriend well.

Now I have an Audrey obsession. One problem---I can't cover it up.

' my friend had this crazy poop explosion '

' my friend has such a strong neck it's incredible'

Nope ' my friend ' doesn't work to cover it up. I guess there is no hiding it. I live, sleep, dream---baby these days and I love it :)

(except last night I had a dream someone kept euthanizing people by hitting a metal stake into there heads---I woke up quite disturbed. I missed my Audrey dreams.)

Another interesting thing is the whole time I was pregnant I was never ever pregnant in my dreams (besides one---were I gave birth to a jellyfish{I have messed up dreams lol} but other then that I was always not pregnant---weird eh?)

Since this blog is mostly about sleep I will end it with a sleeping picture of Audrey---she is having morning cuddles beside me right now. Ahhh I hope morning cuddles last forever!

Retraction?

I have been thinking over and over the last couple days to either delete the blog/'venting session' or write a retraction. I know it might have seemed over the top and quite emotional but in that very moment that is probably how I was feeling. Actually that was how I was feeling.

For the past five years I have been trying to skip the whole 'fakeness' and concentrate on being real and genuine. In our society it is encouraged to act like everything is perfect and 'okay' all the time. Who can really say that life is okay all the time. There are ups and downs---mountains and valleys. It takes the really low valleys to make you really appreciate the view on the mountains.

I sometimes feel like my blog is a glorified diary. Who lets the world read there diary though? I guess I better keep the emotional blogging to a minimum but at the same time I want to be able to be real with what I'm facing in my life. I'm looking forward to five years down the road reading all my old blogs and giggling to myself. I know that's something I always enjoy doing with my actual journals. It's just fun to see what was so important back then and how much you have grown etc. Maybe my pre-Brent journals were the best to read back on because page after page was about different boys and high school drama---ha ha ha.

I'm sorry for the drama my blog readers---I am Sheena and sometimes I am a little bit dramatic.

No retraction today-it might be embarrassing to look back and read but it was real and genuine and that is something I am not embarrassed about.

Shades of Summer 2010

Picked up these beauties at the beauty supplier today. These will be the shades I'm sporting this summer. There is something so therapeutic about painting your nails. It's hard to see the exact shades but trust me there cute!

I just painted my nails two nights ago so I can't justify redoing them just yet---need to wait until I'm home long enough with Brent so he can tend to Miss Converse.

I'm so excited! I'm sure there will be many more blogs about these shades and were they show up.

So fun!

Oh me oh my---

There is this one person in my life and this is how I would describe them

-untrustworthy
-manipulative
-two faced
-hypocrite
-gossip

Why do I have this person in my life you may ask. Everyone has one. Someone they regularly have to smile and nod to. Someone who you guard yourself around.


Brent and I were talking and we figured we had three options.

1- Cut them out of our life
2- Ignore the drama and just continue to smile and nod.
3- bring up 'drama' when it occurs and deal with it. (This person doesn't handle conflict and never apologizes so usually confronting and trying to deal with issues leads to stress and sweeping it under 'the rug')

We have done all three and none are successful. This person is a 'key' person in our lives. If our lives were a tv show they would be one of the main characters.

We are at a loss. Right now it's something we are really praying about. It's just such a sticky situation. It's so stressful dealing with a situation like this.

I remember as a child WWJD was written everywhere. That popular saying. In this situation I really don't know 'what Jesus would do'. How many times do you turn your cheek?

Anyways this is my rant. I'm sorry for being such a downer. My heart is just heavy tonight. Oh how I wish there was a easy answer.
