Honestly...

What would you do if you saw something you knew was wrong?

A husband hit his wife?

A father verbally and physically abuse  his daughter?

A mother shoot up heroin while nursing her newborn?

A young kid kick a pregnant dog until she can't stand anymore?

A robbery, molestation, beating?

Would you say a silent prayer that they see the wrong and try to fix it? Would you keep a clear head and try to talk to them? Would you not even think about the situation and just jump in? Would you talk to the police, counselor, pastor, etc? 

 

I  know what I would do... Because I found out tonight.

 

I can't sleep...my eyes and heart are so  heavy. I can't stop replaying it. What   should I have done? Did I do the right   thing? Did I help fix things or did I make  them worse?

is it just me...

or is anyone else LOVING grey and yellow?? add some creams and a light mint color and you have my wedding pallet. 


ok, so i know i am like 5-10 months late on this color pallet bandwagon, but today i kept seeing greys and yellows and creams everywhere i went and with everything i did. it just became obvious that i love these colors.



enough about me... onto some brain melting gorgeousness! 

(is that even a word??)






love the cake topper. although, my future mother in law is going to make us one and i know it will blow this one out of the water.

 

(middleton park house) 






 love the old time-y feel of this invitation suite. 

(ole time-y is most likely not a word that is widely recognized... but this is my blog and i shall do as i please)

i would pay big money for this baby to be in my living room. 

and by 'pay big money' i mean that i would just lust after it for many many years because with 2 big dogs, nice things dont  belong in my home. true story.

 

(how do i love thee...)







i'll take the 2 dresses in the center please!

 

(engine - heart)







i'd like to take a nap in this room.

ah yes, winter. my second favorite season. fall being my first. but winter is a close second. i love the cool air, the warm drinks, the fresh from the oven treat,  the unbelievable cute and cozy fashion that you definitely dont see in the summer. summer... eeewwww. i hate summer.

Being dizzy straightens everything out

Pour Your Heart Out.

Yesterday I just lost it. I had zero patience. I was short and snippy and an all around witch. I cried and cursed everyone around me. I raised my voice.dropped more than one f-bomb.

Certainly not proud of any of that.

I'm not sure why I had rough day.maybe because I didn't sleep well. Maybe because I've been eating horrible food (seriously). Our maybe I had a strange bout of pms that actually hit me AFTER my period.  Who knows...

Maybe its because I suck at effectively communicating. Maybe if I recognized that my mood was changing I could have controlled it. Just a simple 5 minute break to help me clear my head would have worked. Instead I lost it.

I literally cried because my computer was running slow while I was pinterest..no joke.

We all know that I suck at long term resolutions... So I'm going to try to keep my sh*t together one day at a time. Tomorrow I'm going to make smart choices when it comes to food, I've noticed that plays a HUGE role in my mood. I'll go out of my way to be nice to someone that irritates me. I'm going to take my time with my med rounds tomorrow. Be more deliberate in my actions.

One day at a time.
