I was talking to my Mama this morning and she said Karma has been really mean to me this week. She says it blows HER mind that every time Chad leaves town, something happens. Sometimes, it is minor and we laugh about it; other times, I end up in tears. If you didn't read my previous post- you need to read it and you will have a better idea of what I am talking about.
Since it is Valentine's Weekend, I thought I would share five things that I love. Personally, I think Valentine's Day is overrated. I am not the kind of girl that needs roses, balloons, and chocolate. I would rather Chad do something for me completely out of the blue. He isn't a romantic type anyway. What I would love for Valentine's Day is a super clean house, laundry caught up, and a nice dinner that I don't have to cook or clean up! Can I get an AMEN?
ONE
I LOVE waking up in the morning before the kids. I will get up an hour before they do and drink my coffee, catch up on blogs, email, and scroll through social media. I love sitting in a dark, quiet house (with the fireplace on in the winter) sipping my coffee and reading.
TWO
I LOVE sitting in front of the fireplace. There is something peaceful about a fire. Yesterday, I sat down for about thirty minutes and did absolutely nothing and it was glorious! Don't make fun of my socks. They were purchased during girls' weekend with Chad's family. That is another story for another day and it always brings a smile to my face.
THREE
I LOVE the moment when I cross the finish line at a half marathon. I love the feeling of the volunteer putting the medal around my neck. I love that sense of accomplishment. I always tear up as I cross the finish line. I love that my body is sore and tired. It is a good feeling!
I LOVE the beach. If I had the money, I would buy a place on the beach and live there in the summers. I love early morning coffee on the porch looking out at the ocean. I love walks on the beach at night. I love watching the kids play in ocean. I love the food at the beach. I love the sights and smells of the beach. I love a beach tan.

Yes, crossing the finish line is so emotional.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Kudos for you for doing a half marathon! I hope things get better soon. Being a single parent while your husband is away is tough!
