seriously not believing that this is my life
her text to me right now
finally hearing the song i’ve been searching for
getting a new striped dress on mega-sale
how Bob can always open the twisty tops
Luke’s immense love for churros (like his father)
starting a loaf of chocolate chip sourdough and having it hand-delivered very soon to my oldest boy
the dusting of flour left on the counter
and leaving it there
the washing machine doing its thing while i workout
making me feel like i am multitasking
her letting me brush her hair out this morning
how folding all the laundry has the power to make me not feel like i am wildly behind in my home duties anymore
getting a pre-workout stretch from reaching the dirty napkins that fell behind the washing machine
finding all of the clothes tucked behind the kids’ bathroom door
the new little laundry mesh bags
the bathroom counter being covered
the phone calls and the voice memos that he is receiving
having something happen that i was waiting quite a long time for
Bob fixing the water issue
and the kitchen sink issue
those quail babies
the cool morning breeze on my face
the absolute hilarity of what’s going on in our house right now
that she’s writing a book
that i did not step on the baby scorpion on our back patio with freshly (at home) pedicured feet
having tears when i received the email
choco-hoto pots with our youngest girl
being invited in to pray for the hard stuff
knowing what fills me up
and what doesn’t
witnessing the successes of the world turn meaningless
Lovely read as always 🥹🤍
Love your writing:)
