Sentence completion….and a new Riddell family member!!
Saw this on another blog I follow and thought it was a fun way to share what’s on my mind:
outside my window …is darkness with a few headlights mixed in as cars drive by
i am thinking …about how to get through these challenging times with Sophie; she is such a sweet, smart and loving little girl but lately she’s also become very whiney, throws things on the floor (and at us), screams at the top of her lungs when thing don’t work out her way, and can’t entertain herself for more than 2 minutes…..we just keep telling ourselves “this too, shall pass”
i am thankful for … the opportunity to provide for our family, having a home that keeps us safe & warm, and the doctors who diagnosed B with a disease that, although it threw us for quite a loop at first, now will allow him to live a longer and healthier life
from the kitchen… comes only GF (gluten-free) food these days; it seems like B & I have figured out what we can make without having major anxiety attacks; going out to eat is still tricky though (we even got burnt ordering off the GF menu at Chilli’s last week!!)
i am wearing … green workout pants (haven’t actually used them for working out in a while though☹) and a Barack Obama t-shirt
i am creating … scrapbooks of Sophie’s life; I love looking back at how much she’s grown, changed and developed
i am going … to KY for a very, very, very short visit to celebrate my college roommate’s wedding and to see family
i am reading … fortune’s rocks
i am hoping … to get lots of comments from all of you!!
i am hearing … Sophie talking to herself as she lays in her crib (that’s how she goes to sleep)
around the house … are lots of dust bunnies because our vacuum cleaner has been in the shop for a while and the replacement part is on back-order
one of my favorite things … is sleeping; I love my weekend naps and appreciate it so very much when B lets me sleep in one weekend day
a picture to share … our brand-new nephew Bishop!! Welcome to the world little guy!! Congrats Chad, Mandee and big brother Sawyer!!
Tina such wisdom you have in your mind and heart. We should all be so grateful for the small things in life and not let the big problems. overwhelm us so much that we lose sight of what is truly important. You are now an official grown up young woman and your thoughts and words are empowering.
Love ya Girlfrien’…Sher
Thanks for sharing
