I was thinking this morning about the last few months and started listing off things I love/am happy/am grateful for. And I thought I'd share them. :)
1. A hubby that brings me red tulips home for no reason whatsoever.
2. A washer and drier in my home (not having them in your house is the perfect cure for disliking laundry!)
3. A baby boy who smiles at you just because.
4. Lying in bed with Bradley, my head on his shoulder, reading. :)
5. A job my husband loves.
6. Friends having babies.
7. A cute purse that doubles as a diaper bag. I love it!
8. Family nearby who loves to see us.
9. Daddy and baby showering together. :)
10. Indoor heating when the temperature outside is in the 20's.
11. Friends nearby and coffee dates.
12. A sis who comes over to make valentines day cards like we did when we were little. :)
13. Pictures. I love that we can capture special moments.
14. Cute purple slippers on sale for only $4.97. :)
And the list goes on and on!! I am so blessed and so grateful to God for my amazing life.

Naptime
Liam is down for his second nap of the day and it's 10:54 AM. He usually takes one short one around 8 or 9 and then one long one right about now. It's always a dilemma for me to figure out what to do when he naps. Not because I'm lacking options! The conversation goes something like this:
"Ok...he's asleep. What should I do?"
Jessie: Clean up this living room...it's overwhelming to have it dirty.
Slacker J: Rest on the couch and watch 24.
Jessie: Read some scripture and pray.
Bored J: Blog! (Apparently this Jessie is winning right now)
Jessie: Finish your stinkin thank you cards.
Tired J: Take a nap...Liam did get up early.
Jessie: Exercise!
Out-of-shape-post-baby-body J: Play around on facebook
Jessie: Finish laundry...
...And the list goes on. I really hope and pray that other people relate and I'm not the only one that fights with myself like that. Once I actually get moving and start getting that stuff done I feel great, it's just getting myself to move that is the problem. *Sigh. Even now, I don't want to.
On a lighter note, a very dear friend and I went out, got Starbucks and hung out at Target for awhile last night, leaving the daddy's with the babies. :) So nice to get out every once in a while! Dev tried to convince me to get some slippers and hair dye but I'm boring and declined both. Really regretting the decision to not get the slippers. They were on clearance for $7 and I've had the same slippers for 5 years! I should have gotten them...but oh well. Maybe I'll go back today and return the stupid waterproof mascara (which was definitely NOT supposed to be waterproof!) and grab the slippers instead. :)
