Life as we know it

I feel like it's been a while since I've posted anything. We are going on vacation tomorrow, so things have been a little hectic. Still are. So technically, I shouldn't be posting, but I'm procrastinating. :) Life has been exciting here. We are finally adjusting to New Mexico. Mike loves his internship so far. They are a really good company. And, believe it or not, I am loving Albuquerque. I love the heat!! Although, it always smells like campfire these days, because the smoke from the Arizona fires has been blowing here for the past week. I figure I shouldn't complain though. I would rather have to deal with the smoke than deal with my home and all my belongings going up in flames, which is what some people in Arizona are dealing with. But I digress.

Things have been exciting here. On Wednesday, I got so much stuff done. I cleaned the house (spotless), worked for 4 hours, transfered a bunch of videos to dvd for my mom, played with my son, and did laundry, all before Mike got home. I felt so accomplished. I thought, I must be really lazy most of the time. I'm going to stop being lazy and get that much done every day. So I started Thursday out really optimistically. And that is when God figured I should be brought back to reality. Bradley took a way short morning nap, and woke up super cranky. House was a mess. (I swear I cleaned it the day before). Bradley and kitties getting into everything. Because Brad was so tired, he would not eat his lunch. So finally, I figured he was done. I left for 3 seconds to get more paper towels to wipe his face and...

Apparently he WAS still hungry. He just had a better way to go about it. It was all over him, all over the kitchen. So, I picked him up and plopped him right into the tub, which I'm positive was his diabolical plan all along. I wish he could just talk and say, "Hey mom, I want to get in the tub".

Anyway, I felt like God taught me an important lesson. The days that nothing gets done are not my fault, and the days that I get a ton of stuff done are no reason to gloat. But, as my mother always says, I just need to "enjoy the moment".
