As you guys know I used to write a lot of '5 senses for today' posts, and then recently as I was reading through pips blog I was inspired to take that one step further and include a bunch of other feelings and emotions that I'm currently experiencing, since my head is in overload lately:) So here is the first edition of my own Taking Stock on The Freckled Fox:
Seeing: all the gardens in full bloom up and down the neighborhoods. our world smells amazing right now.
Making: a lot of time for emails lately, and still having a hard time keeping up, but I love them secretly.haha
Cooking: anything that involves as many different types of veggies as possible.
Drinking: really watered down apple juice with lots of ice. It is the most refreshing thing on super hot days.
Reading: hardly at all these days. real shocker.
Hearing: Lydia calling for "dada?!" over and over from the corner she's most recently back herself into
Wanting: more time in the day
Looking: forward to every Saturday morning when the whole house sleeps in late. My favorite.
Playing: a little piano here and there now that I've started brushing the dust off my books
Wasting: time sitting on the porch in the shade, though I don't feel it's wasting when I'm in the moment
Understanding: that no matter how old I get, that swinging on the swings will always make me feel younger
Sewing: a lot of projects that have been piled high in my 'almost done' stack. I have completion problems:)
Wishing: that I had more time to read
Touching: the water hose a lot lately as I try to keep our garden alive in this sweltering heat
Enjoying: all the get-together's I've been able to have with friends and their kids lately. I'm a lucky lady.
Waiting: not so patiently till I'll only have one little babe left in diapers
Planning: a trip with my family to the mountains, just like I have been all Spring and Summer so far
Planning: a trip with my family to the mountains, just like I have been all Spring and Summer so far
Liking: when my girls try to bribe me to give them treats in exchange for them painting my nails. oh please:)
Wondering: when my maid and cook and laundress will show up to get all this housework done.haha
Loving: those nights when Martin and I can snuggle on the couch in a very quiet house and watch a movie
Hoping: for more patience
Hating: having to get out of bed in the morning.
Needing: a jar of my grandma's fresh pepper jelly. omg that stuff on wheat thins with a little cream cheese...
Smelling: lavender oil everywhere since we had that incident with the whole 4 ounce bottle and the carpet:(
Wearing: maxi skirts a lot these days cuz 1, they're very breezy and cool and 2, I don't have to shave my legs
Learning: that my kids have a lot to teach me
Teaching: the girls to swim and hold their breath under water this last week has been a lot of fun.
Noticing: that no matter what I do, John will always choose his dad over me. I love their relationship though:)
Tasting: apple pie just about every day this week. the holiday started it, but I've kept it going.haha
Knowing: that no matter how old Ellie gets that I'll always see her as my first little baby.
Thinking: I really need to shoot some stock photos of me exercising so I can finally post my workouts.haha
Bookmarking: lots of wall art on etsy for the kids rooms. any favorite print shops you can share with me?
Opening: a lot of packages from the post office. even when I now what's in them it's still like Christmas
Giggling: with lydia as I tickle her ribs on the office carpet. her laugh is so contagious.
Feeling: hopeful and happy.
Feeling: hopeful and happy.
