Happy Momma

13 Things on my mind today

1. I have something on my calendar for March 5th. I only wrote 9:40 am and nothing else. I cannot remember what it is or why I was so vague and it's driving me crazy!

2. Since we're getting quite a heavy rain at the moment, I'm thinking about how glad I am we had gutters installed on Tuesday.

3. Mark and hoping he gets the phone call he wants today.

4. The substitute certification that I'm taking tomorrow. It's a 4 and half hour...class, lecture, seminar...I have no idea. I'm excited to get going, but pretty sure it's going to be boring.

5. Mark's schedule. It seems to always find a way to be a thorn in my side. We had it good for a while with a somewhat permenant schedule of day shift with rotating days off, but it's changing again and he's going to be working a month of nights starting next week. I got spoiled having him here every night for dinner and our evening family time.

6. Lasagna. I made a lasagna last night before bed and put it in the fridge to cook today. We haven't had it in a while so I'm kind of excited for that and some yummy garlic bread.

7. How good Yoga makes me feel. I've been taking some yoga classes lately at the gym and I really love the relaxed feeling I seem to carry with me throughout the day. I did some yoga stretches yesterday morning right out of bed and I felt fantastic. But, we woke up late today, I was greeted by Chloe and a cold house, I wasn't able to do my Yoga stretches in a quiet and dark room and man, did I feel cranky this morning.

8. Our yard and the fact that spring seems to be here. I think we had the last of the cold snaps and I can start clearing off the dining room table this weekend.

9. We got all of our paperwork mailed out to our tax guy today, so now we just wait and see if we'll be happy or sad. We got a sad surprise one year so I don't hold my breath anymore.

10. I'm still trying to figure out where our old camera charger is. Madison has a verse she has to say in chapel tomorrow and I want to record it, but the camera battery is dead! If I find it, I'll post a video of her saying it.

11. My current book. I've been on this reading kick lately and I'm on my 8th book in a little over 3 weeks. This one is a mystery thriller with a bit of romance thrown in.

12. Strawberries. Madison's school is holding a fundraiser of selling strawberries. It's not an easy fundraiser as you have to stick to people close by and they should like to make jelly since they're sold in flats of 12 pints.

13. My need to sleep well. There are a lot of factors in me not sleeping well, but for the sake of my family I need to get a couple good night's sleep. Mark is snoring, Madison is having bad dreams, Madison and Chloe were both sick, thunder storms, Mark was coming to bed at 1 in the morning and waking me up, etc. He can try to be a ninja and I'll still hear him. Unfortunately once I'm up it takes me well over an hour (3 hours the other night) to go back to sleep.
