Today I...

::Today I feel overwhelmed with the tasks ahead of me.

::Today I feel gratitude for the blessings the Lord has given me.

::Today I am amazed at this beautiful home we’ve been blessed with.

::Today I am exhausted from lack of sleep.

::Today I am tired of having sick kids...Kenzie is on her 7th day with a fever.

::Today I am excited to be working on a new Jessica Sprague journaling course, but am overwhelmed that I'm already falling behind.

::Today I am fighting the urge to sit and read a book all day long.

::Today I am surrounded by clutter and boxes and am completely baffled as to where to put it all in this front room that is supposed to be a living room, but not, because we're using it as an office.

::Today I am wishing I didn’t have to clean a brand new house because the owners before didn’t leave it that clean.

::Today I am considering making Spaghetti or Whole Wheat Waffles for dinner...which will it be?

::Today I've been sneaking bites of my favorite chocolate candy...if the kids only knew!

::Today I can’t stop visiting websites trying to find the perfect curtains to replace the broken blinds and dirty, ripped black curtains in our family/dining room area.

::Today I have a pile of paperwork I need to fill out for Kenzie’s autism evaluation in a week and a half.

::Today I can’t get the Voltron song out of my head from the kids watching endless episodes on the Netflix Roku...some serious old-skool cartoon watching going on at my house!

::Today I am tired of kicking the dog’s food bowl back to her spot, just to have her nudge it all over the kitchen floor endlessly...what is WRONG with that dog?!

::Today I almost entirely emptied the kitchen of boxes...only to KNOW that there are MORE waiting in the garage.

::Today I have piles of laundry waiting to be washed, folded and put away...but at least I get to do it in a REAL laundry room...UPSTAIRS...INSIDE the house! Did I mention how much I LOVE this new house?!

::Today I am obsessing over paint colors.

::Today I need to download the instructions for my dishwasher so I can figure out how to put all the extra separators back inside it. Who does dishes in a dishwasher without the little separator thing-ys, anyway?!

::Today I am happy that we installed a new antenna last weekend...LOVE me some beautiful HD channels for FREE!!

::Today I am thankful for good friends and family who call and email daily.

::Today I keep finding myself looking at Craigslist.com in the hopes of finding all of the different pieces of furniture I find myself now needing (WANTING) for this big ol’ house.

::Today I am excitedly anticipating the new MacMini rumored to be releasing soon...

::Today I am SO glad it's the weekend and I can finally escape this sicky house for a little while...house-bound much?!


What are you doing today?

wow, that's a lot of thoughts for one day! ;) I love to watch a show called "Movin' up" where you get to go back to your old house and see what the new owners did. It will be fun to see all the changes you make to your house and also wonder how your old house looks (especially with it being so close). A new direction with Kenzie? Not fun. Keep pluggin' along. Luv ya

I was so not that good family member that called today. I DID think about you all day, though. Noah's got the fever, now. It's been around 103.7 tonight. Poor kid. I sat around wishing we could hang out and watch all 7 of those Fringe episodes waiting for us. If we could get rid of the kids and just lounge all day... that would be like the best day ever. Miss you.

I would love to see pictures of your house! I havn't seen you in forever! Who the heck doesn't use the dishwasher dividers? Crazy people. :) Your post had me smiling cause I am not moving and unpacking and yet I still have several of the same feelings you do!!!! Glad you love your home!

Today I am feeling like a stranger. Seriously, when WILL we hang out or talk or something??!!

Hey! I clicked specifically on your blog to see if any posts have shown up that I haven't seen and there was this one! I see that it was posted a few weeks ago. What has happened since? When is Kenzie's evaluation? When can we see your house? Did your dog ever figure out where the bowl is supposed to stay? Are you mostly unpacked? Did you find new drapes? How are things? Inquiring minds want to know! ;-)

Hey Shayla, thanks for commenting on my blog (my bro in law took the pics). Are you getting more settled? Let me know if you need help unpacking or anything.
