At This Moment…

There is SO much going on in our world right now. Honestly some days I have no idea up from down and right from left. I'd like to pause and come up for a quick breath of air. But, there's a house that we're THISCLOSE to closing, said house is getting a full kitchen reno, we're trying to figure out when we're going to box and move all our stuff, then we have to actually move that stuff, unload that stuff, and reorganize that stuff.

Oh, and did I mention there's a certain someone who will be turning TWO amidst this whole mess? GAH!

Anywho… Here's my life at this very moment.

Making :: goodie bags for Marcus' birthday party (I cannot wait to share all the details of this party).

Liking :: the two-a-day workouts that have been consistently happening for the past two weeks. 

Drinking :: coffee. There are at least five more cups in my immediate future

Reading :: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

Watching :: The Blacklist (no, Marcus is no where around).

Planning :: a kitchen reno. 

Wanting :: Scott to agree with color of counter I'm leaning towards (I want cocoa, he wants pebble, whomp whomp).

Living :: for my next run. Running is feeling SO GOOD right now, and I look forward to my pavement pounding each day.

Playing :: The Kenny Chesney station on Pandora - love me some Kenny. 

Wasting :: a hefty amount of time looking up birthday party ideas. I'm pretty sure I need an intervention.

Wishing :: we could just fast forward to next Saturday. I'm seriously hoping the kitchen is done and we're all moved in and settled into the new place. 

Enjoying :: Marcus. This age is so much fun (I know, I've said that about a 100 times). Sure, there are some days that could be chalked up as epic disasters. But, for the most part this phase is a blast.  

Revealing :: that I haven't let myself get excited about this house/move/kitchen because until it's all complete I just can't get my hopes up… 

Desiring :: a pedicure. It's been ages, and the increase in running hasn't been kind to my feet. 

Craving :: sushi. I can't remember the last time I've had a good spicy tuna roll. 

Waiting :: for the weekend. Who isn't?

Seeking :: out fun (read: kid-friendly things that won't break the bank) things to do for visitors we have coming in April and May!

Wondering :: what to get Marcus for his birthday. We have nothing, I repeat, nothing as of right now for the little guy to open up on his big day. Who wants to go shopping for a 2-year old boy for me?

Loving :: the fact that both sets of grandparents will be here in a week!

Marvelling :: at how fast the last two years has gone by. My little boy will be two. TWO! 

Needing :: to give our current home a legit cleaning. 

Rooting :: for Iowa State! They play Kansas State this morning in the Big 12 Tourney. It's always fun when there is an in-home rivalry.  

Missing :: a job that produces a paycheck. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I just wish there was a paycheck to accompany it.

Considering :: what to do with Marcus' new room. Do we keep the nursery feel, or start the transition to 'big boy room'?

Going :: counter and backsplash shopping today. 

Despising :: the cat litter and 'doggy duty.' I really wish we could just potty train the animals in the same fashion we do kids. 

Rocking :: a tee and shorts. 71 and sunny, can't beat it. 

Smelling :: like Victoria Secret's Noir. One of my all time favorites. 

Wearing :: something other than workout clothes!

Treasuring :: this crazy toddler stage. Judging by how fast the last two years has gone I'm going to blink and we'll have a teen.  

Noticing :: St. Patrick's Day is Monday. When did that sneak up on us?

Worrying ::  about the dreaded well-child check up next Monday. There will be vaccinations, and no one likes those. No one. 

Thinking :: I need to start looking into preschools. Holy cow. Preschool. 

Feeling :: like I could use another hour of sleep, or more coffee. 

Bookmarking :: all sorts of decorating ideas for the new house. But, all this stuff looks nice, and fragile. With a toddler fragile isn't smart.

Opening :: yet another tab on my computer. 

Giggling :: at the fact that Marcus finds his burps and farts funny. And, that he now yells "TOOT!" when he passes gas. What a stinker (literally). 

Knowing :: that at the end of the day I am one very blessed momma.
