I have felt like this week rushed right by.  With our shower needing to be replaced and Ellie's Light event, I'm hoping this next week will be more restful...but since the littlest has now spiked a fever I guess we'll see!

But CURRENTLY ::

:: READING ::  Because we've been so busy, I haven't had much time for reading, but I'll have to stop at the library this afternoon to pick up The Selection by Kiera Cass.  

:: WRITING ::  My "de-junking" list.  In two weeks, I'm taking a week off.  While I plan on having at least one day to do nothing, I plan on spending a good portion of the week completely de-junking our small apartment to start making this place feel like a home.

:: LISTENING :: Come with me now by KONGOS..can't get it out of my head...

:: THINKING :: It's time to take a hard look at our finances and set a livable budget...we've spent a little too much time flying by the seat of our pants and it's gotten us no where.  I've read a lot of Dave Ramsey and his baby steps.  I'm hoping that I can get Mike on board!

:: SMELLING ::  Homemade bread...inspired by one of my home care clients making homemade bread, I figured since it had been a while, I would make some too.  

:: WISHING ::  Alex will only be sick for one day...He spiked a fever last night and the doctor this morning thought maybe it was just a virus.  But if his fever continues for a few days, they want us to come back in for more testing to see if it's a possible UTI because of the extra fluid in his kidney.

:: HOPING ::  For a long nap!  Alex decided that he needed to wake up at 3 am this morning...it's really a good thing that he's cute!

:: WEARING :: workout clothes...in hopes that I'll take it as a hint and go for my walk.

:: LOVING :: all the sun we've been having...although I would love

:: WANTING :: a jogging stroller.  I have yet to find one that I like, but we're looking into getting a bike trailer that will also double as a jogging stroller that Evan would also fit into.  He's been biking while I walk, but I'm assuming when we start going to longer walks/jogs, he'll want a ride instead.

:: NEEDING :: a massage...maybe on my week off...

:: FEELING :: tired...seriously, I need a nap.
