Finding What Fits...Musings of a Creative Mama: "I Wonder" Wednesdays

My life and the world around me amaze me, inspire me, and sometimes cause me great pause. So here are some of the things I’m “wondering” about on this third Wednesday in February, 2011. (And for those of you who like cute baby pictures, you'll be rewarded for muddling through my rambling...wink, wink!)

1. Will I remember “’I Wonder’ Wednesdays” next Wednesday? I’ve been sort of flaky about routines lately…. (Note to self: DO BETTER!)

2. What is Kirk doing right now in Vegas…I haven’t heard from him tonight. Whatever it is, I hope it’s worth it!

3. Tonight, the girls and I snuggled up in my bed to read before bedtime, and we were reading Bambi. When we got to the part where Bambi, Thumper and all the other forest animals become “twitterpated,” I explained to Julia that meant that all the animals were finding somebody to love. Without missing a beat, she leaned over, kissed me, and said, “I’m twitterpated with you, Mommy.” How did I get so lucky?

4. Will Maddy and I make it through the Terrible Twos? This child is more often than not the cutest little pixie you could ever imagine, but like in the nursery rhyme, when she is bad, she’s horrid! I can’t seem to find the magic equation for appealing to Maddy’s better sense, and listening to Mommy is rarely on her agenda. SO FRUSTRATED…HELP!!!!

5. What is God’s plan for me? I feel so close to unlocking that answer, but at the same time, there are so many questions resting heavy on my heart about how best to move forward. It’s exciting, motivating, and anxiety-inducing all at once.

6. Why is my DVR not working?

7. How will I be able to knock out everything on my to-do list for tomorrow? It’s HUGE!!! Where on earth should I start?

8. Does anyone else out there agree with me that ellipses are the all-time BEST (and under-rated) punctuation mark EVER?

9. How many days in March will Kirk travel? (Leave a comment with your best guess, and whoever’s closest when March is over will win a fabulous Stampin’ prize – hand-crafted by yours truly!)

10. We have a super-cute kids’ upholstered rocker that’s in desperate need of being recovered. Anyone have the know-how on how to recover furniture, and is this something that I could hack on my own?

I could continue to ramble on, but I’ll limit myself to ten. I obviously have A LOT to pray on tonight, so I’d better get to it! ;-)

Oh, and here are a few pix of my sister's sweetie pie twin boys...I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with them today while Shannon was at class and they were home sick, though they certainly didn't act that way. Hopefully they're on the mend! Hugs and Kisses, SMILE! xoxoxoxo
