WHATEVER

 That is a lot of cute for one chair.

Lately I've been going through a bit of a "whatever"phase.  I have a list longer than my arm of tasks to accomplish, books to read and projects to start, but I'm lucky if I get through the day with a couple of rooms clean. I don't know if it's because of the winter doldrums or because I'm just lazy....(could be a possibility)... either way I'm hoping to snap out of it soon. However, here are a few thoughts or happenings that have occurred lately in my idle state:

• We got a humidifier! You know you're in a little bit of a funk, when such a purchase is exciting and perhaps life changing. It's true though. I had this hideous cough that never went away, with no other coinciding cold-like symptoms, that seemed to thrive the second I layed down. Not anymore! Yay!

• This angel boy of mine lately...hasn't been, what you might say...angelic. Going through a rough phase. Trying a few different solutions. Trying to figure out why. I still don't have the answers, whatever it is though I'm pretty confident it's nothing I'm doing wrong. Nope. It couldn't be...

 I know, how could this boy do anything wrong, right?

•  Oh and I cleaned out my sock drawer. For reasons like this. Phil who rarely ever tells me to do anything demanded I throw these socks away. I just don't understand why? Maybe he should tell me to go get a pedicure as well... 

• Phil is enrolled in a personal finance class this semester and it has us all jazzed about figuring out our future budget after we graduate and trying to come up with a plan to efficiently conquer our debt from student loans and find a solution to our condo. I go back and forth between feeling excited and hopeful, to overwhelmed and depressed.

• Yesterday we went to hang out at my sister's house. We hadn't been since before the holidays and I kept thinking why? Why don't we do this every day?

 Gracie and Ryder laughing together while doing a puzzle. I think Ryder kept saying to Gracie, "You're a genius, girl!" and for some reason it would send them both into a fit of giggles.

 So this is what Autumn and I do. Plop our kids in front of the TV, hand them a sucker and we go in the other room and talk. We're such good mothers :) Oh, and where is Penny through all of this. You will find her here:

• Speaking of said sister. Do you remember this post? Look at what she got me for my birthday! I am so excited. Particularly because that fabric looks even better in real life than it does online. Hopefully, I can put it to good use sometime soon.

Aaaand, I think that about covers it!
