Grace in Small Things, June 4, 2013
Hi Everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
Here are some things that are good in my world:
- Thanks to those of you who left kind comments on my (somewhat whiny) post the other day. And to Janie, whom I don't know, thank you for the gentle (and very polite) reminder that things could be worse. Yeah, I'm feeling down about some things, but everything is right in my world right now and my malaise is NOTHING like the pain of fertility stuff and miscarriages and etc. that so many women go through before getting to have a take-home baby. That is hell. This is no big deal
- Story hour at our local library is so great. And it's pretty easy for me to take both kids there by myself...I feel like supermom when I can get out and about like that with twins. (Getting out and about with them has been more challenging since I haven't been able to load the stroller up in the car...because I'm not supposed to life heavy things while pregnant...I had no idea how much that stoller enabled me to do, and what a learning curve it would be figuring out how to get out of the house with 2 kids without it)
- Taco Cabana chicken quesadillas are the best thing ever. With the very, very hottest sauce, tons of it, I could drink that stuff. That's one of my cravings lately and so glad I can just drive down the street and get one. (The other things I'm craving are celery...weird, I know...and grapefruit juice, which is what I craved last pregnancy)
- Work is busy. Projects are fun. Although I have a MASSIVE thing to write in the next week or so...a little nervous about how I'm going to pull that off but my husband said he'd be happy to help with the kids so I know it's going to happen
- And...OK...confession: After swearing up and down my whole life that I would NEVER drive a minivan...well, as of this weekend there is a minivan parked in our driveway. The funny thing is, I thought I would hate it and, you know, it kind of needed to be done with 3 kids coming up and 2 big dogs and Grandma living with us and my parents visiting often and us wanting to do road trips to Colorado and elsewhere, but I didn't expect to be happy about it. I've driven a Jeep FOREVER. That's who I am. But you know what? I am actually LOVING the minivan. So easy to get the kids in and out. So easy to get everyone in the car to go somewhere. So easy to do errands. This minivan thing kind of rocks. :)
Hope everyone is having a great week. :)
XOXO
