Weights, Gardening, Kids and a Swim
Hello, Monday. I liked you about as much as I normally do, today. Our 4 year old son woke us up hollering his little head off at about 4:15 this morning. He had a question. Uh-huh. So after my adrenaline was all charged up (and I answered the stinking question), I was unable to fall back asleep.
My husband gets up at 4:30 to ride his bicycle to work. I laid around and tried to worry my brains out about money, but decided a better use of my time would be here:
The pain cave. |
Today was leg day - and I experimented with listening to music instead of watching Star Trek. I felt like my time was more "my own" when I had the headphones on. I don't know...for what its worth, I had a good hour of leg and ab goodness.
I finally figured the banking for the month - and if I keep squeezing these here stones, everything will be fine. :o) Ha, ha...yeah, things are tough all over, right? Me and my whining. Won't get me anywhere. As a reward, I went out to water my plants.
I just wanted to shrink down to itty bitty and live in this beautiful zucchini forest. I was never very good at growing things until this year. I really enjoy going out each morning and watering and weeding the living beings. I used to be a bit of a Flower Child in my early 20's...life jaded it out of me, might be time to reprise. :) Where's that tye-dye skirt...
I hadn't seen my daycare sweeties in a few days due to the holiday weekend. This little guy was so sweet after his nap! It isn't very often that I can get one of my "big boys" to slow down and snuggle a bit. It was torture...
You know, dirty job but somebody has to do it.
Aw, Kyler - and hubby in the background! |
On a day, like today, where my self esteem is in the toilet, God was listening. He sent me a cutie-pie to snuggle, a garden blooming, and a skill to work on. Thank you, Creator of the Universe, for caring for me.
Yes, God knows exactly WHAT we need and WHEN we need it. I have to pray for patience every day to see His gifts. Snuggling with your littles is truly a great gift.
