Taking Stock / 04

It's been a heck of a lot longer than I thought since my last Taking Stock.

It was totally worth the wait, I'm sure.

Making: lists upon lists of things I need to pack for our trip to Hawaii.  So far it includes almost everything but the kitchen sink.

Cooking: chicken fajitas and trying not to make out with my crock pot.

Drinking: water, water, and more water.  And some Mother's Milk tea.

Reading: Wild by Cheryl Strayed

Wanting: time to slow the eff down.

Looking: at Honolulu's weather forecast and drooling.

Playing: dinosaurs, dragons, and sharks with my little love.  All consist of us chasing each other around the house yelling "RAWR!"

Wishing: my pants didn't give me a muffin top.  

Enjoying: any excuse to wear yoga pants because... see above.

Loving: seeing Zoey smile her big, gummy smile.

Pondering: what to put on my Christmas wish list.  I'm the worst so I have to start thinking extra early.  

Considering: starting 5am weekday-wake ups so I can get a workout in before work but then I think "eh, better not."

Watching: my babies on the video monitor.  One is asleep and one is hoarding blankets.

Needing: to workout.  For the sake of my sanity.  And my muffin top. 

Wearing: yoga pants and a t-shirt.

Following: Harry Potter or Game of Thrones fan theories.

Noticing: I'm slightly obsessed with Harry Potter and Game of Thrones fan theories.

Admiring: other people's abilities to not obsess about their kids' sleep.   

Sorting: fall and winter clothes for the kids.

Buying: reusable swim diapers for Hawaii.

Getting: pathetically excited for Fall TV.  Hello, Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder.

Bookmarking: potty training tips.

Disliking: that Camden's third birthday is just three months away.  Someone hold me.

Feeling: all the feelings.  What else is new?

Snacking: on Aussie Bites.  All day long.

Coveting: baby headbands and pretty much everything at lolabeanjewelry.

Wishing: Camden would potty train himself.

Helping: myself to Brookside Dark Chocolate-Covered Acai & Blueberries after Zoey goes to bed.  I have to reward myself for surviving the day somehow.

Hearing: this on repeat.  It's my shower jam.
