Hush!


It's early....well sorta early. I woke up again before the sun, and please don't misinterpret, I love it! This has become the normal thing around here. Not because I set an alarm or because I'm shoved out of the bed, I just wake up! I could be all cliche and talk about how thankful I am for another day and I am super thankful, some people just wont wake up today, but that's not what this is about.

It's about the little things this morning....

How everything is still wet from the thunderstorm last night.
The quiet in my house.
The kurig trying so hard to give me another cup of coffee, and me thinking I should probably add a replacement into the budget.
It's an early morning shower that isn't rushed.
Sitting on the front porch just listening to the morning come with my favorite red dog.
It's remembering and reflecting on how fast time goes and reminding myself to just "be still".
It's finding one of my favorite shirts after being MIA for a month (seriously how does a 30 something mom who hasn't been out of town in almost a year lose a shirt?)
It's being excited for a lunch date with an old friend and getting to meet her little bundle of joy.
It's hearing Ralph run around in his wheel and shake the water bottle in his cage. 

In fact it's so many things....I hope that whatever I have done to my internal clock sticks around.

And please, Hush! Don't wake anyone up yet....I'm not quite ready for the morning rush!

Just some randomness for your day.

It's snowing.....now I like snow as much if not more than anybody I know.  If it's going to be cold I'd prefer snow. But it's spring break and I want us to get out and play, I'm ready for thunderstorms, buds on the trees, chirpy birds, and open windows.   


My dryer broke. 
More precisely the switch that turns the dryer on broke.  So I stopped doing laundry during the day.  I waited until Mr. D came home from work and I would ask him to turn on the dryer. So after a week, he ordered the part and came up with an short term fix.
I'm a lucky lucky girl! 


I finally got around to making my curtains.  I've been looking at this fabric for forever!  Just decided to jump in and do it. Shocked myself with how awesome they are. They still need hemming and I've got about 10 more yards of fabric to buy so that I can finish up the rest but so far so good!

like I said....random
