The past few days have been emotionally CRAZY for me, for a very specific reason that I won’t get into here. Because I’ve been so distracted I just haven’t had the desire to post much of anything, let alone something that could be considered thought-provoking or insightful. But then I read Jane’s latest post and decided, “Voila! Now there’s something I can do!”
So without further ado, here are a few of my latest “status updates”:
Vicki……
misses her dear friends in Vegas very much
wonders why she doesn’t lay down when she has the chance to (usually when Wee Bubbs is napping)
is actually glad to see sunshine today – it’s been quite wet and gloomy for days now; not the norm for our part of the world
is excited but sad that Wee Bubbs has started to officially “babble”; I can’t wait to hear those first words but it also means he’s that much further away from being a baby 😦
wishes she had been more insistent to keep the TV off around Bubbs; I actually would have preferred to not have a TV at all but that was a lost battle from the beginning!
continues to be awed at how many answers to prayer I have witnessed over the last year
still chuckles when I think of Bubbs comment the other day, “Your potty is AMAZING!” yep – those were his exact words… 🙂
has noticed that the boys have taken their playing up to a new level; I’m actually giving them extra play time before naps & bedtime because that’s what they are doing TOGETHER – playing!! I would never have believed that a 3.5 yr old could PLAY with an 8-mth old…and a cat (sometimes). It is such a joy to watch!
has decided she needs to set a schedule for when to be on the computer…and more importantly when NOT to be on the computer
really hopes Bubbs’ fascination with dinosaurs doesn’t fade away with age
is dreading having to create the family meal plan for February
continues to pray for a good night’s sleep
is excited about all the delicious travel plans for 2010
In the Land of Ridd 
Where are you all going in 2010 Vic?!? Just make sure that Clovis makes the list.
And we’re praying for TJ around here…
Let’s see, in order:
Vegas (me), Santa Maria, SLO (for the day to visit friends), Los Gatos (me, women’s retreat), Vegas (all of us), Oregon, Reedley (this is when we could most likely fit in Clovis! August sometime), Minnesota, Santa Maria, Oregon – that’s just the planned trips. Thx for praying!!
….what about Spain?? 😉 Or Ireland when we are there! 🙂 Someday.
Love your list. Totally hear you on the TV thing (that’s one of the things I was thinking of when I wrote that I am more lenient than I thought I would be. I had these grand ideas of maybe watching one specific program every day at a certain and that would be it – Ha! the reality is SO different!)
Love that your boys play together, so cute.
Admire you for having a meal plan for a MONTH!
Still praying for you to get a good nights sleep!
and with you on the prayer thing, when I wrote “loves the power of prayer” I was specifically thinking of TJ and continue to pray.
oooh, I know – someday Jane, someday!! I guess my travel plans are pretty much what we do most every year, so even though it’s to see family & friends, it’s still great to get out of the norm. Someday the locations will be more exotic – someday!! 🙂
