Some Things That I Would Really Love Right Now

*A poop and vomit-free Austin
*A beautifully mowed lawn
*Nice arms. Seriously, I've been working pretty hard on this one and I can't see a lick of progress. Just two nice oblong bowls of jelly jiggling furiously for the world to see
*Chocolate fondue
*A date with my husband. Or just my husband at home for more than 22 minutes at a time.
*To be boarding a plane right now with some fabulous friends to a great place, although said great place is currently inundated with piggy nastiness so I guess the three month wait is a good thing
*Ice cold fountain Dr. Pepper
*New flip flops. I've been wearing the same sad pair for three summers now and while I love them, they are in a pathetic state. Is it just me or has this season's supply of flips been completely lame??? If anyone knows of some cute ones, link me there.
*Warm weather. The cabin fever of my girlies on top of super sick baby has put me over the edge.
*A new watch. The one I'm currently wearing is one that a girl asked me to hold for her at Girl's Camp two years ago. I know that sounds like I stole it, but I didn't. I'm still just holding it. The girl disappeared and I have no idea who she is.
*Patience. I know, I say this often and I pray for it daily but SERIOUSLY. I need some patience. Now please.
*To be alone. Is that horrible? I'm sure it is but I would really, really, really, love some time alone to be, um, alone. All alone. Without anyone needing me for anything. It has been way too long.
*New blades for my razor. My Portuguese hair keeps getting caught in the dullness and it's making my legs look like target practice for everyone's favorite vampire.
*The ability to spell Portuguese correctly. Seriously, how embarrassing. I'm a great speller and that's my freakin' heritage for goodness sake, but I spelled it wrong. Thank you spell checker for hiding my lameness from my people.
*A three column template. Yep, still working on that one.
*My custom header to actually appear in my header. Blogger hates me. But guess what Blogger? I hate you too.
*A babe for this sweet couple.
*Did I mention my husband being home????? Just checking.
*A girl's weekend.
*Another Dr. Pepper
*World Peace

You still have that watch?? Maybe I should go to GC this year, I need a new one too. Amen on the flip flops.... I think I'm going with croc version this year.

You funny, funny girl. Hang in there. Pour yourself a cold Dr. Pepper, put in a movie for the kiddos, and lock yourself in your bedroom. Even ten minutes alone to yourself will do wonders!

PS... I still say popcorn for dinner is totally acceptable after a day like you've had. :) Kids love popcorn.

LOVE YA!!

You're "holding" the watch? Nice, Sister Pottymouth...real nice ;)

And no, wanting to be alone is not wrong! You just need 30 minutes, and it will work wonders.

Love you!

Ummmm, sorry. Apparently, I was signed into Hannah's blogger account. That was really me, not Hannah J.

Hopefully Austin will turn the corner soon. You so need to go on a date night with Brad--get yourself some fondue & Dr. Pepper, spring for a new watch, razors, and flip flops.

I hear you about the flip flop thing--though I will freely admit that I only looked at Target and it was after they were having some sort of sale because there were hardly any there.

The flip flop selection this year is horrible. I can't find a thing that I like. I'll keep looking.

I hope Austin starts to feel better soon. I've been thinking about you and hope your family gets better soon! Oh and bring on the spring weather!

If you need a babysitter so you can get some alone time, just call me. I am not joking.

Sarah said...

Your Dr. Pepper comment cracked me up, because seriously sometimes there is nothing better than a D.P. fountain drink with clinky ice to make your day all better. I really hope little Austin gets better soon, that is so sad he has been feeling so yucky.

I'm still laughing about the watch. That is hilarious.
