Well you will notice that there is no pic of me this week…but I am not going to miss another week of sharing random things! I was going to do a little video for ya’ll this week (ya’ll…really??) but I woke up feeling AWFUL (and its possible…I may look even worse!) so instead of looking at me you get to see this pretty scene I captured with my iphone on the way home from a shoot the other day. And without further ado…the random things you were waiting for!
1. When I take pills (talking advil here) I put water in my mouth, lean back then the pill floats on top and then more water…. and i still choke half the time.
2. I don’t like wearing shorts. Dresses/skirts ok and Capris…also ok….shorter shorts…not so much. Except my lulu running shorts…I like those.
3. I love pretty floaty snow
4. I also love snowstorms
5. I love planning vacations. Or trips in general. I like to me on the move.
6. We moved 3 times the first 3 years we were married. I often get the urge to house hunt again because I think it would help me be more organized! In truth…I just need to be more organized!
7. I love to cook at home, and am a creature of habit when it comes to eating out. I really dislike spending money on a meal that I don’t enjoy. SO cooking at home = less risk for disappointment and less cost :)
8. I usually have a big purse, but this purse I am using lately is WAY TOO BIG. It had a casserole dish in it for two days before I found it… for reals… need to get a smaller
9. I get really amazed by women who run a home, work, have children, have a clean home. I find myself saying “how do they do it?” Any tips… I’ll take!
10. I just realized I never answered any of the comment questions! I will next week! BUT need some more! Comment below so that I can answer your random questions about me…. cant believe I forgot that!!!
No mom “does it all”. If they seem to, then something’s amiss. At least that’s my thought. Sometimes I let the laundry go. Or the dishes. I hire/get a babysitter every thurday so I can go to Starbucks and get a break. And seriously, “every mom is a working mom” does apply. You have to honor God above all, be happy and live sustainably (or BURN out/go crazy) love your family and enjoy them while you let other things slide. I wouldn’t want to do it all. Don’t feel the pressure to, it’s ridiculous and unrealistic. I think of days gone by when everything was done/cooked by hand- kids were send outsude to play more ofetn, no computers, video games, etc. I think that is a better way- at least in part. There’s a great book out there (non- Christian POV, but none-the-less) that has great advice. It’s called “The Idle Parent”. It’s a good counter culture POV to todays harried parent trying to “do it all”. Wow- sorry about the rant, but I went thru a bad time of thinking I was suppose to be able to “do it all” and it didn’t go so well, so I’m a little over the top with the advice/ protective of anyone I know getting caught by that trap. Also “The Me in Mommy” is a great Christian book I’ve really enjoyed. As always, I look at your pics and thinkg, WOW- how does she DO that? They blow me away:) Hope you and Alex are doing well, In Him, dee>:)
