Currently. ...

Hi, remember me? It's been a while I know.  It's been a bittersweet absense. Of course I have missed sharing here and I think of y'all daily, but I've been soaking up every single baby moment Dutch has left because he isn't going to be a baby for much longer :-(  He is 9 months old & the anticipated  (but mostly dreaded) first birthday is right around the corner! Ahhhhh  

So currently what's going on in my world? (I'm typing this as Dutch sleeps next to me in bed, & the pups are snoring pretty loudly in their beds at the foot of our bed.)

:::Watching- Um, yeah not too much. I like to watch an episode of The Big Bang Theory before bed, and I've been trying to keep up with all those looney tune housewives on Bravo. Has anyone seen the new born in the wild show? It has certainly peaked my interests.

:::Craving- Samoas! Texans, this is what Caramel Delights are called on the east coast. Every year those little cute girl scouts in front of the grocery store get me & I have zero self control & to be honest I'm not even trying to control myself :-)

:::Drinking- Water like it's my job! Seriously I'm drinking so much water these days...like gallons of water.  I still limit myself to 1 cup of coffee a day. I'm so sad when that cup is gone :-(

:::Looking forward to- I say "looking forward to", but I can totally wait.  This is not one of those things where I'm saying "oh I can't  wait until....." because I do not let myself say that or live in that mentality anymore. I can definitely wait, but I'm looking forward to celebrating Easter with Dutch. It's my favorite holiday and the most important one for our faith so I'm looking forward to sharing that with him. Plus I ordered his Easter basket 2 weeks ago and his gifts yesterday  :-)

:::Wearing- Lately I'm pretty stuck on lace, ruffles, & neutral tones.  I got a new shirt and the Mr. asked me if it was the one I wore the day before. Since it wasn't,  I'm thinking that means all of my clothes are starting to look the same. 

:::Praying for- Single moms!  They have to be such a strong breed of woman! I was sick 2 days this week with a fever over 100 and I was out. I couldn't do anything.  I'm so glad the Mr. was home to help me, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.  I honestly don't know how single moms do it every day when they're healthy, but when they're sick?! Oh my goodness I admire them. Jesus please bless all the single mamas with extra grace, patience, love, and health!

:::Reading- Don't laugh but I finally finished the novel I started to pass the time the week before Dutch was born.  It really was a fun and easy book (Revenge Wears Prada) but I never could sit and read more than 2 pages at a time. This might be my new normal for a while.  Now I'm reading a French parenting book and noticing that my parenting style so far is very european.  It's a great book, but I'm only on chapter 3, so hopefully it doesn't take me a year to read it hahaha 

:::Listening- I've got my Pandora station set on my favorite Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington station. When it comes to music I'm a very old soul.

:::Loving- Dry shampoo....it is a lifesaver and makes me feel like I can conquer the world! 

Okay that's me today.  How are y'all?  Tell me what you've been up to or what your plans are for this weekend :-)

xoxo Darby
