The small stuff.

The things that make me happy these days are actually quite sad, lol.

I never hide the fact that I do NOT do laundry in our house. My husband, the wonderful and amazing man that he is, has spoiled me over the last year and a half, and has taken care of all the laundry. Now that he is back to longer working hours, its harder for him to find the time to do it. Or the energy. Not that I blame him. I still don't like doing laundry, haha. Today however, there seems to be a domestic bug up my bootie, and I'm on a roll! I have gotten the floors all cleaned, moved our kitchen table to where it was before, started laundry (and I will finish!), and even had the iron out...

Where am I??

I think being so wrapped up in school over the last few weeks has had me neglecting most of my wifely duties. Boats has never said a word about it, but still.

But the things that make me happy now, rather than even just a few years ago are as simple as taking my kids to the mall to get some new jeans (since they grow like weeds!), finding a good deal on a hoodie for the hubbs, new to-go coffee mugs from Starbucks, and yes... going to Sams Club for cleaning supplies. Honestly, before I had kids, I would dread these kinds of things. I never looked forward to getting home with a fresh bottle of floor cleaner and getting to crack it open and clean the floors. Or sitting down and sorting through laundry so I can get the kids new things washed and put up for them. Really? Its so funny how your perspective can change in just a few short years on what is important to you.

In other news, I took Kadence to the dog park yesterday. It was... interesting... to say the least. Ever since her squabbles with Link last year, she has been super agitated with strange dogs. She will snap at them, and as long as they don't snap back, she calms down and will actually play. That's a pretty hard thing to control at an off leash dog park. I took her on purpose though. She NEEDS to get over this, and I cant think of a better way than to keep exposing her to other dogs and when she realized that they aren't going to hurt her, she will slowly forget this inhibition she has. I'm hoping anyway.

We also decided to have the windows on my car tinted yesterday. What a difference it makes! It was something we debated back and forth on for a while, but we had the contact information for a guy who came to us and did a great job for cheap. Not having the windows tinted makes me feel like Im in a fishbowl, so now its much better. If I could only justify getting rims for the car since I have a burning hatred for hubcaps, Id be good. But at least $400? No thanks. Not just before the holidays anyway.

So I suppose there wasn't much of a point to this blog, but there doesnt always need to be, right? :) Have a great weekend, and say a prayer today for everyone this world lost 9 years ago today.
