Laughter is the Best Medicine

Yesterday I had just pulled the laundry from the dryer and was about to fold them when the baby girl came up and pulled a sock from the basket. She looked up at me with her big eyes and announced that the sock was “hot”. “Yes, hot.” I responded, and then she proceeded to blow on it as if it were food that was too warm for her to eat.

Children do the funniest things!

(The picture is of her in the boy’s “hot” socks)

Month in Review

The last month has been a whirwind. Here are the highlights:

We headed up to my cousin’s wedding (a destination wedding in Dothan, AL so she could get married in a barn). On the way up we met up with the boy’s family in Tallahassee. Let’s just say it went better than expected and leave it at that.

I painted the entry of my house the EXACT same color as the outside of my house. I am dying to repaint, however, am scared to pick a color for fear that it won’t be a good choice. I go to Lowe’s and stare at paint samples more often than I would like to admit.

The baby girl has learned how to ride a scooter. It is a hammy down from her cousins and she loves it!

She has started saying her name. For the longest time she referred to herself as “baby”, I am not sure why since I always call her by her name.

I started my grad school class this week. I had an assignment due yesterday, the first day of classes, what professor makes something due the day that classes begin? I am already wishing I would just quit even though I will should graduate in the spring.

I am itching to complete at least one room in this house to post a picture, however, it doesn't seem to be happening.  Such is life!

Long Pause

Things have come to a screeching halt around here.  We finished painting our bathroom and bedroom, found a mirror for the half bath, and stopped.  We have discussed starting various projects like painting the laundry room or working on some of the remodeling of the upstairs bath, but nothing has come of it.  The projects of late have been replaced by having friends over, outings to the park, lots of bubbles in the driveway (a new obsession), and getting back into my daily run.  There is a part of me that is enjoying the break, but another that worries if we don’t get things done while we have the motivation and time it might never get done.  

I often struggle to live in the moment, borrowing tomorrows problems, wanting to plan for the future.  I have to make myself stop and appreciate where I am right now, thanking God for each new day.
