Many Thoughts

Got invited to join the garden club today.

Started the washing machine on the diapers and baked cookies while I waited (why does it seem that whenever I bake cookies, I always get one batch that turns out crunchy?). Yummy!

Should have worked on making those hamburger buns I want to freeze.  We have that huge freezer, and I need to use it!

BEAUTIFUL weather! Sunny, not too hot.  75F

Saw the ENT today. Told me there was nothing wrong with me. I figured as much. I should have gone with my hunch. How much is that going to cost me?

I need to work on a camera… I have the itch!

Summer Confession

True confession: I don’t really like summer. It’s too hot.

Garage sales

We went to a neighborhood garage sale today, Janna and I. She was perfect. It wasn’t too far before her nap time, so I expected her to fall asleep while we walked from house to house. She didn’t – I think there was too much going on. She was just too interested. She sucked on her toes, the strap, put her feet up on the tray, and just took everything in. I love having a little companion!

Favorite find: sidewalk chalk ($0.50)
Least favorite find: Janna got curious while I wasn’t paying attention and pulled this off of a table.

Needless to say, I paid for the item ($0.25). I actually think what she did was cute, because she had no idea what she was doing. It was a small price to pay for that lesson.

Wish I had purchased: a $20 elliptical that looked like it was in very good condition.
a set of records of songs and programs for children.

We will probably go back tomorrow morning to check on those two things and to browse the rest of the sales. Today we left after two hours, because Janna was getting sleepy and I wanted her to nap in her bed. There’s just something about being in your own bed.

Thoughts

I see many who lead more exciting lives than I, and I realize that I wouldn’t trade my life for a single moment of theirs. I love being Momma.

I feel like my life is just about perfect right now. No, I don’t have everything all together, my house isn’t pristine and spotless, and I have a to-do list a mile long, but I love where I am.

Jealous {but not really}

I see the exciting lives of those around me and wonder what I could be right now. There is so much of the world to see. But honestly, I wouldn’t trade for ANY of it. I am satisfied most when I can love my baby all day long, every day. Because that’s what she needs, and that’s why I am here.
