SHE COULD BE A FARMER IN THOSE CLOTHES ///

Untitled

Anytime I wear overalls I hear Ambular (Clueless) saying "She could be a farmer in those clothes." I have no idea why since Ty wasn't even wearing overalls in that scene. Maybe it's just because this still continues to be my favorite movie and clueless quotes are constantly swarming around in my head. Does that ever happen to you with your favorite movies?

HAT /// ROMPER /// RING /// TOE RING

I want to wake up everyday (like our Mama) and choose to be happy. I don't always do that. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or complain because I can be a brat, and you know what? No one, not even myself wants to be around that. I want to change that about myself so I'm making a habit of listing 5-10 things each day that I'm thankful for. Some days I try and challenge myself to go through the whole day without saying anything negative. Have you ever tried that? It is for sure possible. I've done it a few times and it really does make your day 100% better. I should do it more. 

Here are some things that I jotted down. The most simple of things bring so much joy to my life and I want to remember that when I get in my funks. It's embarrassing. I embarrass myself. Geez. 

The first moment you wake up and know it's going to be an awesome day
The first sip of coffee in bed
The exciting drive to the beach filled with laughter and good music
The sand in between my toes
This awesome romper
The sun on my skin
The wind in my hair
The love of my life
The cutest pup there ever was just running full speed
The conversations I only have with God
The best treasures from the sea added to my collection
The many sounds of the ocean
The memories with my Grandma that pop into my head daily...then make me cry
The long drive home with windows down and music blaring
The longest hottest shower...
The best sleep of your life because my mattress is basically a cloud

Now it's your turn, what are the small things that make you thankful or happy?




GOTTA GOTTA GOTTA ///



It's this endless cycle. The Laundry is done. Awesome... But still gotta hang the clothes up, gotta walk the dog, gotta feed the kids (Bootsie and Zeyk, not humans), gotta make coffee, gotta meal prep, gotta get that workout in, gotta eat, gotta clean the mess in the kitchen, gotta get back to those emails, gotta text clients back, gotta clean the house, gotta get the bueno orders done, gotta ship out bueno orders, gotta buy more supplies for bueno and do or dye tx, gotta pay the bills, gotta have skype meetings with Kelly, gotta go to work, gotta re- organize the house, gotta shower, gotta de-clutter, gotta go over budget, gotta set new goals ...

Then there's social life, the fun stuff, gotta go to church, gotta go to bible study, gotta hang with friends, gotta go to community dinner, gotta go on a date, gotta go to dinner and a movie with the family, gotta celebrate someones birthday, gotta celebrate someones Grand Opening, gotta go to a wedding, gotta plan your next vacation, gotta gotta gotta. REPEAT. It never ends. and we don't even have kids yet!

Do you ever feel like this?

How do you balance your life between work, chores, and social life? I just want to feel like we have a  legit system and not feel guilt when it doesn't all get checked off.
