What a week it has been. It has been busy, full of fun summer activities and I have been slowly trying to actually complete the bunches of projects that I have started and just need to finish. To top it all off, trying to get a little 5 1/2 month old to sleep all the way through the night, regardless of having that blasted binkie, has been a struggle. So I admit, I am writing this in a very sleep deprived state of mind. I did one of those e-mails today where you fill in answers about yourself and send it on to others and they replace your answers with theirs and send it back. One of my friends sent hers back and as I was reading through it, I honestly couldn't remember being asked or even answering a few of the questions. I am loosing my ever lovin' Mommy brain! So hopefully all will be back to normal. Sorry to ramble...here we go!
1. Of course I am going to write this...I will be grateful to have 3 kids who sleep all night long. It hasn't happened since I was pregnant with Grace, but the thought of sleeping all night long sounds SO good right now!
2. I am thankful for having a group of Mommies who get together every week to do something fun to keep us from getting "bored" this summer. Note: I wouldn't be bored, there is always something for ME to do, but to Maddie..."bored" happens! All of the kids get together and play and have fun and us Moms can get together and have adult conversations!
3. To do lists. They keep my on task and focused. I love being able to write down the things that I need to get done. From the big tasks to the little ones...and then to be able to cross them off my list one by one...SATISFACTION!
4. Friends to help me fix my problems...my hair has been a bit on the "dry" side since I went blonde...and Kim was so sweet to go to the store where only hairstylists can go and get me hooked up with some great stuff to make my hair smooth and shiny again. By the way, if you swing by my house any time before 10:00 a.m. I can't guarantee you won't see me with a plastic bag tied on my head...the stuff has to "cook" on my head...sounds down right attractive doesn't it?! Well...it is! Not really...Maddie and Hayden always give me funny looks but I will say it is working nicely! So thank you Kim!
5. Dishwashers...where would I be without mine? Sure I absolutely detest unloading the darn thing but I love to be able to put all of the dirty dishes in and in a push of a button, I am done. Much better than back in the days when we were first married...we had a dishwasher...but it was the CRAPPIEST, saddest excuse for one. It didn't clean anything off, if it was any appliance it was an oven. The dishes would come out with stuff baked on. So I had to resort to washing most by hand. That was horrible. When we moved, it was the one thing I looked forward to!
