Last night, after I got my delightful little monsters to bed, I was standing in my kitchen loading the dishwasher when I realized it. You know what? This "Mom" thing is f'n difficult. I've got 4 kids, oldest being 11, and I still don't feel like I have my ducks in a row. I had no idea how difficult motherhood would be!

One of Mason's favorite kinds are ones he can show his friends and work on/ figure out. Last year I found some really cool optical illusion ones but I can't find any new ones so I went with some critical thinking ones. Here's some neat word puzzles I found:

School Days= School Daze
I can't believe another school year has started!!! As of yesterday, I officially have all 4 kiddos in school. I've got a 5th grade (gasp!), 4th grader, 2nd grader, and Pre-k kiddo!
Every year I create these cool info list on each of the kiddos and yesterday I was comparing them to the very first time I did them, 3 years ago. What a change for each of the big kids!!!!

Googling
Have you ever "Googled" your name your first name? I had a couple minutes of free time and though, "what the heck" and did!
I mean, afterall, my blog IS titled "Embracing Marli!" So... I'm going to embrace the actual name today :)
I didn't think I'd find much as my name is rather unique but I was DEAD WRONG!
Look at the hilarious that ensued!

Happy

I'm generally a "glass half full" kind of gal on the outside. Within society, I find more peace in showing happiness, so most people just assume that I'm happy.
Though the truth is, I struggle with genuinely being happy.

That was the day I married my best friend
I'm not going to be some sap and say it was the best day of my life. I mean, yes, it was a great day but well, you just have to know our crazy little love story :).

I lied
You see, I'm not one to lie. I'm awful at it- I don't have the memory to remember what and how I lied which always screws me in the end. I've learned the hard way.
How sad is this: I remember the exact last time I flat out lied. It was June 2012. Wes was deployed and was nagging me about making a ring payment. Long story short, that morning I lied saying I had paid it. I had every intention on paying it that afternoon but I was hospitalized with preterm labor. So ba-bammm! I was caught.
I have yet to live it down- rightfully so, I guesssss.
So when I lied Monday and yesterday, I almost felt a little guilty. ALLLLMOST.
