Life is awesome! I guess it’s just one of those weeks. I’m feeling good, feeling great. Just enjoying some of the simple pleasures.
1. My kids: Ok this may seem like a giant “DUH” but for a little while there I felt like I was strapped into a sinking ship that was going down. We’re talking Titanic-style and there was no lifeboat left for me. I was plummeting towards a dark and frozen abyss from which I’d find no return.
Ok… Maybe it wasn’t that bad. But seriously, I was kind of melting down with the whole “how do I do everything with two kids?!” thing. I guess it was just a combination of not sleeping much and feeling like all I do every dang day is make meals and clean up messes. Not fun.
I’m usually into fiction but I thought it would be fun to delve into nonfiction this year. I just finished Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) and laughed the whole way though. It was my first shot at reading an autobiography and I thought it was really good. Now I’m reading Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In. I don’t get to read much during the day, but it’s something to look forward to when I’m rocking the kids to sleep, or during middle-of-the-night feedings. I’m thoroughly enjoying getting back into reading again.
5. Church: I’m having a blast in our new ward (congregation), meeting people, and watching my daughter enjoy Primary. I got a new calling (a service position) with the young women (12-17) in our ward and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m also giving a talk (like a sermon) next Sunday and I’m halfway excited halfway nervous about it… Mostly because our service starts at 8:30am and I’ve only made it on time once so far this year.
Also, I must admit, dressing my little dapper duy up is something I’ve been looking forward to every Sunday.
*Bonus love*: Army Wives. I turn it on in the background while I’m blogging, editing pictures, what have you, and it’s a really good show!
