Today, I don't love:
* That Lucy ended up having to cry it out for her first nap, and then didn't even end up sleeping
* That Lucy still won't flip from tummy to back and gets REALLY mad about it.
* That I didn't manage to get a shower.
* The few stubborn ants that haven't succumbed to my latest ant trap attack. Gross.
* My hair. Too short to be put up, too long to look good down without work.
* My current feet. I'm wishin' for a pedicure I don't have to do myself.
* How Noah repeats something a gabillion times until I stare him in the face to acknowledge that I HEARD YOU.
* Feeling behind on work.
* Seam-ripping something I appliqued on with the tiniest/super close stitches. A MESS o' threads to cut and cut and cut.
* Letting Noah watch too much TV... even if it WAS WALL-E, the cutest cartoon ever.
But today, I love:
* Coffee cake in a mug for breakfast.
* Finishing a sewn humpback whale from this Finnish blog and not doing too shabby of a job.
* How Pinterest inspires me daily and I actually manage to DO things from my boards on many days of the week.
* Lucy's now 2.5-hour nap marathon since missing her morning nap.
* Batteries in my baby monitor so I can carry it outside while Noah and I play in the sunshine.
* A flowy skirt that feels comfy and pretty, even when I haven't showered.
* Little dangly earrings from Katie.
* Mozzarella caprese for lunch, using farmer's market Purple Heirloom tomatoes and my own basil. YUM.
* That today is a day Joe comes home on time. Its always better with him here.
* Lucy's growing patch of blonde hair on her head, filling in her widow's peak hairline. So fuzzy and soft!
* Noah's incredibly developed imagination and the way he views the world.
* Moon dough and exersaucers, both occupying each kid for just a little while when I needed space today.
* The sun coming out after a grey morning.
* The weekend is almost here.
*
What about you?

Some from today's playtime....
I love this next one... Just an unguarded moment as he checks things out...
And one of Miss Lucy from last week, since she was napping today when I took out my camera. See her growing head of hair? And that tongue-- she LOVES to poke that thing out and sample the world around her... :)
(Aside: Gosh, I have so many other photos of my kiddos I've taken in the last two months that I love.... But haven't gotten time to edit them. A casualty of the pro sessions coming back into my life. I hate it. I need to remedy it. Soon.)

ok I'll share too!
ReplyDeleteToday I don't love: 6:30am wake ups for the day, alternating nap times, no shower here either, and feeling like I'm drowning in housework and to-do lists.
But I DO love: baby snuggles and giggles, pretty new baby carrier in the mail, sunshine out my window, hubby came home for lunch, and a frozen slurpee waiting for me in the freezer. :)
Lucy is SOOO cute, love her new hair and her little tongue!
That tongue is killin' me!! Also love Noah out of focus with his upside-down trike in front...
ReplyDeleteToday I don't love:
The way my denim capris feel. Baggy and frumpy.
A non-response to an excited e-mail.
That my *WONDERFUL* audiobook is ending soon....on the last disc...
But today I do love:
Pretzel bread hot pockets for lunch. WHOA YUM!!
My current audiobook, "Hold Still" by Nina LaCour (YA)--reminiscent of Sarah Dessen, who I miss dearly after finishing what audiobooks I could get my hands on.
Gray mornings. :)
My turn:
ReplyDeleteDon't love:
*feeling anxious all day waiting to be told the latest thing I didn't do well (even if it never comes, I'm anxious in anticipation)
*pants that don't fit right
*feeling ravenously hungry with mealtime out of my control
*being expected to think 2 weeks out when I can barely manage today
*10:00 and later bedtime
*no ideas for lessons
Love:
*surprised smiles from PPTS folks when I come to a meeting they didn't expect me at
*black bean chipotle "veggie" burger on sourdough instead of rye
*chocolate chip cookie dough from the freezer (don't tell me how bad it is - I don't care today)
*ideas for birthdays from book orders
*Amazon Cloud Player and iTunes playlists to work by (speaking of, better get back to it...)
Today I don't love:
ReplyDelete*A dusty attic full of things that probably need to be thrown away because they probably belonged to tenants long since gone...
*Kittens who don't seem to understand when I do not need/want their "help" with something.
*Stinky litter boxes.
*Still having SO MUCH CRAP to have to sort/put away/pack away.
*The possibility that the cats may get fleas.
*Getting cut at 7 but STILL not getting out until 9.
Today I love:
*Making over $100 for a 5-hour shift!
*Guests that make me laugh.
*Guests (or people in general) who openly acknowledge my serving/people skills (i.e. friendliness and cheerful manner).
*How adorable the kittens are anyway.
*S'mores-scented candles and hot chocolate.
*Psych and Modern Family. (Tomorrow, I plan to love Parks and Recreation and The Office.)
*My family! (Of course, that is almost an always, but still...)
Callum does the repeat repeat repeat thing too. So ANNOYING!
