i just want to be okay today

I am very tempted to mope around in my sweatpants today. That would be the easy thing to do. I finished the thank you notes and addressed them, there a few that I have to ask my dad about because I am not sure how he wants me to address them. I am going to make myself clean out the guestroom closet and paint my toenails. I also have to pay bills (all three of them, ha). It is so cold outside, I wish that Brooks knew how to put mail in the mailbox. He brings us the newspaper out of the driveway. Sometimes the paper falls out of the wrapper, so we just get the wrapper, but he tries so hard.

My Aunt Vernell just called and she is about to stop by for a visit, so I guess I won't be able to mope in sweatpants. It's strange how what I want to do is the exact opposite of what God needs me to do :)

Vernell and her friend just left. I had about thirty minutes to wipe down everything in my house and make the beds and put a bandanna on Brooks. I needed to get up and do all that anyway, since the Crawleys and the Stephens are bringing dinner to us tonight. I am still trying to talk myself out of organizing the guest room closet...I also need to do some pilates. And eat some lunch. And maybe some ice cream.

Silly girl ... we wouldn't care if you were in your pajamas! I just wish that I had that luxury ... just think, once you're working you won't have days to be in sweats anymore!

How did I miss commenting on this one?

We stay in PJs all day at TheBarn... unless we have to go somewhere. In my case usually it's more like UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE CLEAN FOR ME TO WEAR. Somehow everybody else's clothes end up being more important to wash than mine, and suddenly I don't have anything that fits that is clean. Jonathan keep suggesting we go shopping for some pregomego clothes, and I just keep thinking that I am 2 and a half months or so (and EVERY TIME I have this thought, the wait is smaller and my belly is bigger.) from this being over, and I don't WANT to buy clothes that will fit right now.

But I do want to go buy those RANDOM ecru (I don't know why I'm calling them that, they're totally plain old off-white) flats at Target. I wish they had them in dark brown, but all they had was ecru and black.

AND, for the last random, super-long thought of this comment: It smells like SPRING at my house, because of these extra plants. The ivy and the how-do-you-spell-it REALLY need to be planted outside, but I think I'm going to put them in bigger pots inside for a few more months, because they all smell so good. Is this another weird pregomego issue?
