Why Can't Every Day Be Like Today

I wish every day could be like today.

The dishes are done. The floors are clean. The bathroom is sparkling. Makayla is happily at school. Ellie is coloring while quietly humming a song to herself. Kimberly is taking a quick morning nap. I am folding laundry while the sun filters through my bedroom window.

I feel so light. I feel so happy. I am not weighed down by worry. I am not weighed down by the tasks that must be completed today. I am not drowning in the depths of depression. I feel so free.

Why can't every day be like today?

Hurray For Early Christmas Presents!

I got my Christmas present from Kasey a little early. Today, in fact. I'm super excited about it. Even more exciting is that I get to open it right away. He's not being mean and making me wait until Christmas morning to start using it. Movies with sound? Here I come!

10 Months: Baby Steps

Kimberly loves the little doll stroller that is in the following video. For a while she has been pushing it along while she crawls on her knees. A few days ago she got brave and started pushing it while she tentatively takes baby steps. I took videos for 10 minutes before I got her taking these three steps. But after her fall, she didn't want anything else to do with the stroller. I'm so mean, but I laugh every time I watch this.

Motivation: I Need Some

I think this may have been the longest I've ever gone without blogging. Unfortunately, this is not a post full of updates or pictures; although, I do have many of both to share.

I just can't get myself to be motivated enough to do either. To be perfectly honest, I don't have the motivation to do much of anything lately. I do just enough dishes, laundry, grocery shopping and other housework to get by. I haven't been caught up on any of that in weeks. If I could stay in bed all day every day, I probably would.

Ugh! I just can't pull myself out of this funk I'm in. What is wrong with me?!

When I am feeling like myself again you can look forward to posts and pictures about my birthday, the Pioneer Woman's book signing, being stalked, Halloween, and some other random goings on.
