Taking stock

6.05.2014

Making: healthy meals this week after an over-indulgent grad party hoppin' weekend. (Also bbq pulled pork because we can't all be healthy ALL the time...)
Cooking: summer veggies
Drinking: water, but never enough. Honestly, if it were a graded activity I would flunk every single day. 
Reading: The One Year Mother Daughter Devo with Kendall this year.
Wanting: some orange Toms. Someday!
Looking: forward to the beginning of summer break in T minus just a few more hours!
Playing: Hay Day.
Wasting: time on Hay Day.
Sewing: nothing beyond small hole repairs and buttons because that's a job for my mother ;)
Wishing: I was a gifted interior designer. Or more practically, just passably good at decorating my own house.
Enjoying: the new season of So You Think You Can Dance!
Waiting: for Blake to notice that the M&M's he left out have mysteriously disappeared. 
Liking: my job. Super flexible and low-key and very part time... it's perfect for me.
Wondering: why do my people continue to take their socks off inside out when they KNOW I'm just going to make them come fix them before I will wash them? WHY?!
Loving: the daily emails my Grandma in New Zealand sends to all our family (now spread out in NZ, Australia, Samoa, and Oregon) to keep us all in touch and a part of my grandparents lives. My Grandma has been doing this for YEARS and YEARS and I think it's made the hugest difference in keeping our spread-apart family close.  
Hoping: to finish our deck this month. And to buy a new pool!
Marveling: at the mess the people in my house can make after such a short amount of time when it was just so clean and tidy. Amazing. 
Needing: to weed my flower beds. They are looking pretty abandoned and I feel guilty every time I look at them... and then choose to procrastinate a little longer!
Smelling: ALL the smells that no one else in my house can. Why do mothers' noses work like bloodhounds?
Wearing: workout clothes for comfort more than for exercise.
Following: zero politics. Blech.
Noticing: how tall my daughter is getting... so close to ME. Eeeep!
Knowing: how incredibly blessed we are and how good God is to us.
Thinking: about an iced white mocha... and how delightful it sounds right now. 
Feeling: excited for my sister and brother-in-law who are looking at purchasing some property really close to us! 
Bookmarking: The Office Time Machine. Solid gold, right there. (Raise your hand if you now want to watch the entire series all over again.)
Opening: instagram all day long because it's my favorite.
Giggling: at my husband's text messages to me throughout the day. He's fun ALWAYS.
Feeling: content and loved. 


(Thanks to Sydney for the list idea.)

  2. Oh, the forever sock issue! Most of my kids do their own laundry now, but for the few people in my house that I still do it for (uh hum, Erik!) I just wash them inside out and then pair them inside out when they are clean! That's the natural consequence (plus I don't think he even notices:))
