good stuff
I have to be honest and say that this has been one of those weeks where it’s hard to not be discouraged. The kids are climbing the walls, I’m behind on everything in the house, the weather has been meh and my husband has been sick with the flu since last Thursday. It has all been a bit much. People, I’m tired. I’m having a hard time rolling with the chaos and being ok with everything only half done. I’m not going for perfect. Far from it. I was just kind of hoping that I could walk across the floor without sticking to it or, you know, actually fold the clothes that are piling up on the couch. But alas, it’s not happening this week. Instead of getting down, I am trying to focus on the good stuff. When I open my eyes and look for it, there is a lot of good stuff.
The good stuff:
* Little monkey only woke up once last night for the first time in a couple of weeks.
* When playing soccer with the kids this morning darling daughter declared our team to called “the hookers”! I wondered if maybe we could name our team something that started with the letter “R” (oh, crafty distraction) but she said, “No Mom. We are da hookers so we will be called da hookers. I LOVE hookers”! So Da Hookers it was! I will remind her of this one day when she knows what a hooker is.
* This afternoon while G was standing on the front porch watching, all of our little robin babies jumped out of the nest for their inaugural flight and she witnessed the whole thing. When they tried to fly a bunch of sparrows started dive bombing them. The Mommy and Daddy robins went totally nuts and started flying into the sparrows, yelling their beaks off the whole time. It was very loud and dramatic, if a little bit scary since they were all flying right over her head. It was so cool to watch and I really hope that she holds onto that memory.
* When I sit on the couch in the family room and look out the window, all I can see is green. Sweet, beautiful green.
* There is ZERO percent chance of rain for tomorrow and we’re expecting sunshine! Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on us!
