Grace in Small Things, December 7, 2012

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday!

Some lovely things going on right now:

1) Early morning wake-ups with the kids, 6 AM it's still dark out it's just me and them and I change and feed them and then I make a cup of tea (Lady Gray, the best) and sit and watch the kids turned loose in the living room/dining room, and really just marvel that this is my life, with these two perfect children in it.

2) We're getting a new couch on Tuesday. (Yay! So excited!) My husband got rid of our old couch LAST Tuesday. He doesn't mind not having a couch. "I only sweat the big stuff," he says. I'm trying to look at it as: think of how much we'll appreciate having a couch when it gets here. (And besides, my husband is right. It's so inconsequential if we don't have a couch for a week, I mean, come on...)

3) Amazing hike with my dad Wednesday (Pollock Bench Trail...a trail we hadn't done together since we were hiking all the time getting ready to backpack the Grand Canyon a few years back.) Amazing yoga class yesterday. I'm ONE POUND from my goal (pre-IVF/pregnancy) weight and have been for like a month...driving me crazy that I can't lose that last pound but really, when you've lost 66 pounds, one more doesn't really matter, right? Still...what do I have to do to lose that last pound? I mean seriously...

4) Reading Bossypants. It's so good. It's been so long since I read an actual book...

5) No work this weekend. No long list of chores. No one's traveling. Etc...just me and the babies and my husband and I think it's supposed to rain or snow so we can cuddle up inside, maybe go to brunch, maybe I can read (finish) my book, I'm going to a Christmas concert with my mom Sunday afternoon and Sunday night is date night...it's going to be a fabulous weekend.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Thanks for spending some time here this week. See you on Monday.

XOXO
