Just a BlinkProof Time Flies

This entry is inspired by the age old question, “How are you?” I have always felt cheap for saying “Fine and you?” Really it gets complicated doesn’t it? Here are some facets of my day of how I really am.

5 Trying Times

1. I had clean scrub tops. I had clean scrub pants. I did not however have any tops and pants that matched.
2. I did not leave enough time to brew coffee this morning.
3. My son threw a water bottle at me while I was driving.
4. Molly screamed all the way home from the babysitters due to several cutting molars.
5. I forgot to take the freezer meal (Lasagna Florentine) out of the freezer the night before.

5 Lovely Times

1. I received a bouquet of flowers at work with sunflowers and cabbage of all things. It is so beautifully fall.
2. I took an alternate route to the babysitters house that led me to a hidden lake and a row of Black-eyed Susans. Is this flower really PC or what?
3. The Olive Garden. Yes, a spontaneous trip to Olive Garden with friends, (Hi Kobies!) made our night.
4. I rocked Molly to sleep in my arms while hearing Pete and Ryan reading together in the room next door.
5. Ryan rubbed my forehead as I cuddled with him before bed. So sweet.

5 Telling Times

1. We stopped at a gas station on our way home from the babysitters to use the bathroom.
2. I almost ran out of gas by the time I got home because I did not want to take the extra time to actually get gas at the gas station while stopping for the bathroom.
3. I left two sippy cups in the car. They are probably spoiling as I type this.
4. The front tire leaks air. Someone has to fill it up like every other day because we are trying to be frugal and save up for new tires.
5. That someone is Peter because I usually let more air out than I put in…this fact is so mortifying I can’t believe I am telling you.

5 Lovely Times

I walked out of my house with a swimming suit on underneath my clothes.

I got a free shot of espresso in my coffee (Super Target Starbucks in Richfield).

I ate a picnic lunch with a good friend (hi Becki!) and her daughter Lucy.

I rode up and down the Mall of America parking ramp 3 times at 30 mph for Ryan.

I got dirt under my nails pulling weeds in the patio rocks while Molly and Ry played in the sandbox.

5 Trying Times

I made a behavior chart (instead of joyfully jotting out to our park play date) for Ryan due to some major meltdowns lately.

I forgot to return an item to someone (hi DeAnna!), again!

I had a headache from not drinking enough water.

I had to distract Molly aka Whiner Buns constantly because she fussed for everything her brother had, everything.

I refolded the same laundry pile three times due to the original pile getting decimated.

5 Telling Times

I have a red Popsicle stain on my white shorts.

I have a bun in my hair, again.

I did not shave my legs before going swimming in my red bikini.

I still have paint on my elbow from yesterday.

I can still feel somewhat sexy when my doting husband Pete gets home. How, I’ll never know.
