-- It's only 9am and I want a big fat juicy hamburger with extra mayo on it. I blame this on nursing and I also blame nursing for my stubborn love handles that seem to be dead set on staying right where they are for-ev-er.
| My mouth is watering from this picture. I think I know what we are having for dinner. |
-- Cosco's taco seasoning is like a HUGE staple in this house, enough so that I made a trip to the fatty store just for it.
-- That the second happiest day in my life was the next morning when waking up to no bigger kids asking me for ANY-THANG!
-- That my almost 7 year old asks daily for an iPad for his birthday. And for a split second, while wanting him to stop talking, I entertained the idea of getting him one when I don't even have one myself.
-- I seem to always bribe Gracie girl that if she does x, then she will be able to put makeup on later. Why do I do this? Well duh, because it is the only thing that works.
-- Matt tells me at least once a week: "Babe, you should really make an appointment to get your hair done." Yes, its been 10 months since scissors or hair dye has touched these split end tangly locks, but really who has time. Not this mom. (I just looked in the mirror. I'll probably be heading to Aveda this week).

| Really though, who needs Aveda when you have instagram to make your hair glow. |
-- The house we are renting does NOT have a dish disposal. Are you kidding me? Now EVERY time I am slaving away over the dishes and wiping out the sink for the hundredth time because the teeny tiniest crumb clogged up the drain or when peeling a potato or cutting the stem off of a strawberry, I feel complete solidarity with the pioneer woman living in her log cabins far from civilization, cooking all day over a fire and walking a half a mile for fresh water. Complete solidarity.
-- I am still wearing the same flowered skirt that my mom bought me in 8th grade. Not getting rid of it. Ever.
-- I dream about staying in a room by myself for 2 nights and a day with no one talking to me and food just thrown in at meal times. *sigh* Doesn't that sound marvelous. See I told you I had an introverted side.
Oh my gosh, we have always had a drain disposal but were forbidden to use it because it does something bad to sewers. I buy these little drain things at Walmart and they catch all the food and then you just dump it out when you're done, and I throw it in the dishwasher every other day to get clean. Simple!
ReplyDeleteHeading to Walmart today just to get this. You may have saved my life or at least my sanity!
Deletehaha- love these, esp. the make-up one. And we can't have a disposal b/c we have a certain kind of septic system. I feel like our sink is always gross. I hope in our next house we can have one!! AND- amen to the last one!
ReplyDeleteI am shocked to know that other homes don't have disposals!
DeleteSo awesome.
ReplyDeleteOur house doesn't have a disposal either and it just so happens that my very least favorite chore in the entire world is emptying out the drain covers which are always filled with soggy, day-old chunks of nasty food. I gag every time. I hope and pray that some day will be live in a home with one and I hope you do too!!
Kristin-I LOVE reading your blog, and I was so excited to log on and see that you posted. Now I really want a burger, and I think your hair looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteBeth! Nothing makes me happier than a comment and I am so glad that you are a reader! I love seeing pics of your growing family on FB. You are such a great momma!
DeleteOh Maz, none of this stuff seems WEIRD to me - but rather, normal!
ReplyDeleteHope to see pics of your new place soon! Love you!
You crack me up! And I'd love a day where "they" just throw the food in the door, especially if it's a juicy burger...and a few skinny cosmopolitans :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a woman after my own heart Kristin! I share the same dream of a day or 2 completely alone in a lovely hotel room! I love love love love love my son to pieces and Andrew is pretty great most of the time but OHHHHHH to be able to sleep, and shower and have total control over the TV or just be on my computer or whatever it is that I WANT without interruption etc!!! OHHHHHHH I am so there with you - ok not with you but yes we share the same dream!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Aveda and hope you get your day of pampering at the salon soon!!! Your smile is as beautiful as ever and i miss you friend!!!
