Remember how I drove almost 30 mins today just because I was craving Great Harvest??? Remember how I couldn't eat it when i was in Provo because I had to eat gluten free back then, but it has the best free slices of bread and granola #notfree #nothealthy #butgoodtoo? But remember how when I got there I ate the crusty old free slice in 2 bites and they didn't have any of the normal Great Harvest amazing breads or granola?? So I asked her if I could have a free slice for Eli #twobiteswasnotenoughforthisprego, but I ate it because my cravings are crazy????
So, I'm never going back there. Sorry. Well, maybe if I was next to it and i wanted a few bites of free bread. #emphasisonfew
Yeah, sorry to tell you that unless you only like Dakota bread, the drive to the Great Harvest here is not worth it. Apparently not all Great Harvests are created equal. They have their own recipes and such, so you cant get the same stuff at every store #whoknew...bummer for me!!!
So if you are feeling all nice, go get a free peice of bread for me, shrink wrap it (or you know those machines on the infomercials that take the air out of bags??) just do that!! I'm sure it'd taste the same :)
So, since we were in the area of a Once Upon a Child, and Eli needs new sandals and sunday shoes #kidsfeetgrowfast! we stopped there...I found some shoes and sandals. So i got home and the sunday shoes (that were looking way way too big in the store) dont fit with socks on, and I found some sandals that some one else had given to us before Eli was born that I didn't even know I had. So that trip was pointless too.
But now I have to go back to that area #30minsaway #bleh to take the shoes and sandals back #pennypincherhere, and drive past the Great Harvest that has no good bread. #momlife #pregnancylife #canibepregnantwithoutcravings #isthatevenpossible
Remember how I have a to-do list. When i look at this to-do list I'm like, i can totally get that done in a day! But then, i created this list like a week ago, and every day i try to finish it, and get like one thing done?? Is there something wrong with me? I mean, Eli naps 1.5-3 hours these days. He goes down and I read my scriptures and do my hip exercises (from this book, it has really helped!!). But then I guess sometimes I get caught on facebook or watching 19 kids and counting. (#sidenote I didnt used to follow anything, but i watch stuff on the tv when i work out at the gym and then get home and get hooked I guess #itwasboundtohappen). but most of the time I really do work on things!!!
Anyway, so why can't I just do these things??
Well, you'd be proud of me. Today I cleaned the bathrooms #secondtimesincewemovedin #onthetodolistforweeks
and
fixed some of the doors in our house (they painted our doors so many times that the paint gets stuck when they are shut and they are SOOOO loud when they open, it wakes me up all the time when nate is getting ready in the morning)
and
I got rid of a big pile of "things to put away" that has been sitting there for weeks.
proud of that at least!!!
I know life is not about to-do lists.
I know success is not measured by how much I get done. But i sure would be a lot less crazy if it would get done faster, haha
No, I realized that I cant get it all done because I am taking care of Eli, reading to him, getting his meals ready, keeping the house in order so there's not gross milk sitting on the table, or doing laundry, shopping...you get the idea. There's also taking care of myself spiritually (scriptures and such), physically (exercising and showering and relaxing) and so there's a lot to do in a day that has to be "re-done" every day. So that's why I don't "progress" on my lists much I guess. (plus, lugging this big belly around sure does take a lot of extra time, wink wink)
So I guess its a good sign that I can't get things done. I would have to neglect my family and myself to get everything done that I wanted.
So I guess I'll have to cut my to-do list short sometimes and settle with the "not-best-deal" in stead of searching for the cheapest in order to spend a little more time reading with my little one or making dinner for my hubs.
What kind of realizations did you have today??
what to-do list items didnt get done, but child felt loved??
