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?!
