...I totally just packed the kids up and headed to Starbucks. In my defense, I was out of my low fat vanilla soy milk and couldn't make my own latte. I did however, go back to the OG and get my grande vanilla soy latte---WOW! I can't believe how strong the espresso tasted after about a month hiatus! Crazy.
...I am dreaming of some amazing QT with my groom. I am talking about breakfast, lunches, dinners just us, not worrying about whether someone is drinking enough of her water, or if someone else is eating enough of his veggies. To sit in absolute silence, or to talk and discuss big dreams. To rap along to the dirtiest of hip hop music, and laugh because we can. Kid free time is much needed!
...I ate three pieces of cheese pizza last night for dinner, and even though I did a quick arm/ab workout and a a 20 minute walk with the kids, I still jumped on the elliptical last night. Felt damn good!
...I am going to write a post about how social media is causing depression/anxiety/unhappiness. The more I stay away and do "other activities" the happier I've become. No joke.
...Bradley is the funniest little boy I have ever met. He keeps doing this side dance and booty goes round--I die.
...I can almost not see the parking lot behind our house and I kinda love it.
...the triangle pavé ear climbers are back and EVERYONE wants them! They sold out so fast last time, I didn't get a pair, don't delay!!
...I love goat cheese, but not so much on the morning eggs---I prefer my feta. Sorry Nikki!!
...I'm finding it hard to believe that it's the end of May and that Memorial Day is next weekend. I need to finish mulching and grab some flowers asap!!
...I am shocked at how many people reached out to me after my post on Tuesday. I never know what may strike a chord with someone, as I write really just for me...(selfishly) but I am so moved when others find comfort or familiarity with my words. I like that a lot.
...Father's Day is around the corner, I have NO clue what to get my dad! He owns a hardware/lumberyard and is probably the hardest man to buy for on the face of the earth. I wish I could buy him time, so that he could just spend it with his grandkids and not worry about working.
...Parenting is no joke. (obvi) Joe and I were discussing how "easy" we have it, with me being home 24/7 and his hard work ethic, allowing us to live this way--and yet we still have struggles, challenges and worries about our kids. I take my job as a momma very (too) seriously at times and I just want both of them to be totally fine and have no issues ever. . . I may be referring to some potty training related issues, but I don't going too public about that with my babes.
...I'm excited for my grandma to meet our kids! Both of my other grandparents have passed before they got to meet them, so it will be very special for me.
...I keep seeing 11:11 a lot lately, I mean pretty much twice daily. I love this interpretation here:
In my opinion and what resonates with me, is that when you see ‘11:11’ whether on a clock, a license plate, your bank statement or wherever you happen to see it, is like a friendly little sign from your soul, source, higher-self, or the entire Universe, whatever you choose to call it, God, if you will, that everything is in alignment and you are exactly where you need to be, right here, right now.

...I really do feel like I am exactly where I need to be lately and there is NO freer feeling that just that. To not feel like I am supposed to be doing this, that or the other thing. To feel completely at ease, almost blissful in this chaotic world that spins around me. I do not wish for anything more, I am simply surrounded by beauty, abundance and am happy---from the inside out. Isn't that what we all strive to feel or be? I don't know how long this feeling will last, but I am soaking up every lovin minute of it.

I want pizza now. For lunch and dinner. I love when a post gets other people and you had no idea it would. Those are my favorites and why I continue to blog! Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI had pizza last night too and I have it for lunch as leftovers. So good and better than the salad we were going to make. At least I have the gym ha. Being a sahm is amazing and you are an incredible mom for it. And you should treat yourself. I did this morning. I have coffee and creamer at work and I wanted a skinny caramel macchiato instead, so we got them. Gotta indulge. I would love to have a few days away from my girls and have just my husband to reconnect!! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about social media. Its such a blessing and a curse. I love seeing sweet and good things and sharing my sweet little one with family/friends, but theres just so much negativity out there, its very disheartening :(
ReplyDeleteI love that meaning for 11:11 and I'm there with you dreaming of QT with my own Hubbins. Hopefully you guys can get some soon
