family. sweet family. gosh we are blessed to have such good family.
frank and hank are ready for us to all get one big house together.
i'm cool with that as long as shannon agrees to homeschool my kids and dress them.

why do we own toys that go off and make noises without anyone playing with them? it creeps us all out, especially the dog.
last night, Noah's Ark started making noises around 2 am in ford's room while he was asleep.
michael had bad dreams because it sounding like his cadence he used to play in drum line practice. he dreamt that ford was standing up in the crib, drumming out the cadence on the crib rail.

frank said this morning: "i get one dream pack every night. and sometimes when i have a bad dream, i just take it and throw it out of the dream pack. i don't come to your room all the time when i have a bad dream."

Thoughts that float through my mind throughout a typical day:
"damn dog"
"I wish i could try out that nail polish that i am giving as a gift. do you think anyone would care?"
"give me patience, Lord"

Notes to self:
- You really, really, really need to take a picture of what you want your hair to look like when you go to get it highlighted and say, "I want something different."
- You should know how to work your child's humidifier and how to fix it when it is not working, so that your husband doesn't have to got out at midnight to the drugstore to buy a new one
I hate cleaning.
Unless I am in a bad mood.
Then I like cleaning because it is better than thinking.
But when I feel happy and content
I want to read, write, visit, laugh and play.
I do not want to fold laundry or load the dishwasher again.
When you work at a job you have lists of things to do.
There are things that you enjoy...you do those first.
There are things that are easy, but mundane, those are next.
then there are the things that you hate, and you put those off as
long as possible....at least if you are like me.
Cleaning is on my list of hates.
So to my friends and family that suffer my failures as a domestic engineer,
i apologize...I am the worst homemaker that I know.
But ask me about what I am reading, or who I talked to today, or what Frank and I visited about, and i feel that my days are at least somewhat redeemed.
sidenote: i think i am learning to like cleaning slightly more since last september - it can only be the Lord
I think you should post the pictures of you in the clothes and let hundreds of people leave comments like on The Sartorialist.
ReplyDeleteOur humidifier is brand new and already doesn't work right. Thankfully the need for it seems to have passed.
If you could see my house right now, you would bump yourself to number 2 on the list of Worst Homemaker Ever. I've been trying to redeem the grumble time spent unloading and re-loading the dishwasher by praying for a friend who asked me to pray for patience for her. Sometimes it works.
Yesterday I decided to let my hair dry naturally to see if it might look really cool. Instead it looks like it could be used as an abrasive cleaning implement.
please tell me if you have found a humidifier that doesn't become one big mold vat with in a week. is that because i don't take proper care of them? loved all your thoughts. happy new year friend. i love to clean and never finish a book. maybe we could work out a deal? i'll clean your house if you tell me what happened in ALL the books we were required to read in high school that i only got through 3 chapters of....
