I am feeling restless and lonely, so this is mostly for me....
10 Things I Love Right Now
1 - Netflix
2 - Tulips ALMOST ready to bloom
3 - Relief Society Volleyball (Strictly for the humor at my physicality, mind you, but still fun)
4 - Easter candy and Hard-boiled eggs
5 - My healthy children
6 - Flavia De Luce...#3, thank you Mom!
7 - Reading all your blogs and feeling happy for what's going on
8 - House cleaning done for the week, even though it came in the form of fast, meticulous house-showing cleaning....it's still nice to have it done.
9 - Happy, helpful neighbors that let me dump my children, and sometimes myself, off at their homes whilst we are without Dave
10 - A quiet house after the kids are asleep.
10 Things I do NOT love right now.
1- Potty-training. What a mess. What a joke. I hate it.
2 - Making my house spotless just to hear, "It's beautiful, but it doesn't fit my client's needs."
3- Being the single mom all week, which results mostly in grumpiness by 6:00 pm every night.
4 - Wondering and worrying how much longer we're really going to have to do this separation thing.
5 - Worrying about what on earth we'll do if someone actually wants to buy our house since we can't seem to figure out where we're going to live in Preston.
6 - Gas Prices...they're complicating everything.
7 - This frigid Idaho weather that REFUSES to officially change to spring. It's getting ridiculous. I'm sure the Vitamin D deficiency is the reason for my ranting.
8 - Not being able to run/exercise for the last 5 months...it's taking a most definite toll on my waistline.
9 - My lack of willpower when it comes to sweets and baked goods.
10 - A quiet house after the kids are asleep.
I am a list-maker, through and through. Now I realize how short and blunt it appears. I wish I had your story-telling abilities, Marissa. I wish I took more pictures of my beautiful children to share with everyone. I wish I knew what the plan for my family is. But somewhere deep inside, I know, not just wish, that we won't be abandoned, and we're going to be okay. I just wish I knew when.
PS....Do not watch the movie Rabbit Hole while you are toying with self-pity. You will hate yourself afterward. But I do recommend the movie...it is excellent.

Mary Ann, I love you! I am so sad to hear you guys are still doing the long distance stuff. You're in our prayers! Let's chat during those long quiet evening hours!
I wish you could just be here while you waited! Love you guys!
I know you already know this, but it will all be ok! Just join my bandwagon of counting down the day until things you want to happen actually do happen! Like campout, and summer, and such...I wish I coudl share in your misery, I'm getting quite restless myself and misery does love company. Love you!
Just caught up on your blog...I so remember so many of those feelings! You are doing so great! And try sporadic fits of jumping jacks to give you a pump of energy! Love you!!!
