When in doubt… dream

I’m sorry, y’all. I’m just not motivated. I’m feeling slumpy. I haven’t much to say, so I haven’t posted in awhile.

But I’m going skiing tomorrow! So maybe I’ll have something to write about then! I’ve been going to the gym, hanging out with other stay-at-home moms, and making delicious meals. I’ve been able to put Noah to bed every night at 8 pm, wide awake, and he falls asleep by himself. I do cheat though. I bring him to bed with me when I go so that I don’t have to answer midnight calls on the other side of the house. I’m not good about getting up in the night. I’ll eventually get to a place where I’ll just leave him in his bed all night. It’s time for that, but neither of us are very motivated to implement sleeping separately. Cuddling is good for the soul!

We’ve been dreaming about home remodeling. The great part about renovating is that we don’t have to pay anyone to do it– Jeremy is “The Man”. We increased our home value by 35,000 just by putting in 8,000 in materials last year! So, when we have the money (not right now) we’ll be adding a master bathroom, building a deck, landscaping & yard play area, getting a woodstove, painting the exterior, and replacing windows (not in order of importance, but in order of my preference). I’d like to finish these projects in the next 2-3 years. That’s a reasonable goal I think. Obviously, the need for windows and a woodstove will come first. Bummer, those aren’t the fun things.

Here’s the deck I want (Ummmm, I’ll take the awning, the friends, AND the mojitos in the picture too, please). The kid’s play area (but not that fancy). The woodstove. Something like this for the bathroom.

Oh, while we’re dreaming: Summer is coming. In 4 months. Zzzzzzzz. 

Anyhow, I might like my body more by then. Maybe not as much as I like these models’ bodies, but whatever. Shoosh, this is my dream, ok? So, in this dream I might need thisThis will definitely keep me driven towards toning the old mommy body. This please. And this. But don’t forget this, k? It perks boobs, they say. And let me tell ya, the boobs could use some perkin’ after 3 babies. Giving props where props are due, these items are all from www.victoriassecret.com .

Dreaming is good for the soul. And it gives me something to talk about, cause I’m all bore these days. What’s on the top of your “wish” (not need) list?

If you get that fancy playground…I’m definitely coming over to play ;)

Naturally my wish is for world peace, an end to starvation and a cure for all diseases…

Nah, I actually want a long, long, long holiday ;)

I just visited Victoria’s Secret Tuesday. I was in desperate need of panties. I don’t know how it happens….you have a ton and then it is like crap I have no decent underwear! I did get this amazing bra in there too, I don’t think my girls have ever been pushed so closely together. They probably had to do introductions!
Right now I wish I had a tan! I’ve been resisting going to the tanning bed and just realized that the self tanners aren’t out yet! I’m going to look like a freak in the islands.

Mmmmm….I want today to be Friday instead of Thursday so I could sleep in.

And….a personal chef!

And….a personal trainer that came to my home with a babysitter in tow.

And…Obama to announce his official running for President.

Kulia, YES! I’m waiting for Obama too! I just can’t stand Hillary. She bothers me. I’d love to see a woman make the presidency, but I don’t think she’s the one.

Deana, you lucky lady! I don’t think you will look like a “freak”. It’s not possible! How about the tanning booths where they spray you with tanners? I’d like to do that one of these days. I just don’t tan, so the fake tans are fine by me.

VK, yes! I agree nothing would be better than some world peace. But a little peace and quiet on a beach somewhere would work for now for me too.

Stephieface, I’d feel like a goofball if I were wrong, but I’m really thinking Beans is a girl. We’ll know soooooon!

Yep, if you get that play area, I’m definitely coming over to play too. I’ll bring the mojitos.
