Vent

Some days I feel like my children sneak a peak at my to-do list and make their best effort to thwart every attempt at productivity. Can you tell that today was one of those days? I try not to be a whiner, but today I can't help it.

Life keeps getting in the way of everything I need to get done. Between Grandpa John passing and a quick trip to California followed by this coming long weekend in Little Rock, my to-do list is becoming a "never will get done" list. The 5 minute increments of time are not enough to do things like fold 4 loads of laundry and clean the kitchen and mop the very nasty floor.

Annabelle decided she needed mommy today. She was happy to sleep, as long as I didn't put her down and wanted to eat just about every hour. Addilyn wet the bed at nap time, which she has never done before. Otis peed on the floor and I might just kill him. Eliana complained about every piece of food I served her and the night ended for Addilyn when I refused to give her another cookie. She melted down and I put her to bed screaming. I hate when evenings end that way.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on. I know I am blessed to have my girls, my home and my biggest problem be my lack of ability to accomplish anything. I am now self medicating with wine and an embarrassingly large amount of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

You go girl. When you get here I will dote on you and take care of you!! I can't make any promises about laundry though. I don't seem to stay on top of my own... But I can promise a large glass of wine (or 3) every single night!! :) xoxo

I'm sorry, sweetie....just prayed for you; sounds like Jenni or Jeni or Jenny is all ready to pamper you. How about that girl that needs to come in and do your big house stuff every couple of weeks....where is she?...really?

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Blogging

So I have lost the love of blogging. I have always believed it is a narcissistic pass time, yet enjoy it anyway. I have found I easily spend entirely too much time tied to my computer. By the time I check Facebook , e-mail, friends blogs, etc I can easily waste an hour, if not two, of time. A friend of mine just blogged about the same thing. Yes, I get the irony of a blog post about not blog posting, but alas, here it is: I just read a good friends blog about my blog. A great leader here in Boulder, Kevin Colon wrote this: “Hugh moved to Denver to do a training deal for an organization and he ended up starting a church. His blogging is not incredibly frequent but when he does blog….it’s good!” Now, while I’m humbled that a man like Kevin would even want to read my blog, I figured it was a good time to state once and for all why I only post once or twice a month. Simply this……..”I prefer to spend my time with people.” I’ ve always wondered how people have time to read blogs, let alo...

Life

I haven't really updated on what the Crocker fam has been up to lately. Maybe because my life is just not that exciting? I do have some cute new pictures. So, lets see, we went up into the mountains (well, Evergreen) and went leaf peeping, walked around the lake and ate at Beau Joes (they have gf pizza). We went on a nice bike ride with the girls. Matt and I had our 9 year anniversary , he was soooo sweet and had flowers delivered and chocolates from See's. We are going to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's 60 th anniversary this Friday. That about covers it! Here are some pictures!
