the good stuff exists even though i'm failing at being a good person lately


life has been crazy busy between hanging out with people i love, eating good food, managing sick and/or misbehaving kids, and you know, SELLING OUR HOUSE. i'm quickly realizing that i don't do well with change and upsetting the cart---but i'm trying to be better. it's hard. i've been anxious and mamamc.snappypants. and i'm not proud of that. but there have been sweet moments that i cherish more than anything--

* heart-shaped pieces of bark

* going for our first picnic of the season yesterday, laying on our blanket in the warm sun, eating clementines and fruit leather

* chinese food takeout and watching a movie and drinking wine

* having a clean house

* buying more "little critter" books with joey to expand our existing collection---but he calls them "the little hairy guy books" which makes me want to buy him every single one ever written. reading them in his bottom bunk before bed.

* watching food network shows with grace

* friendly neighbors

* doing two hot stone massages yesterday on nice people

* olivia's organics salad mix

* laying on lulu's bedroom floor reading with the kids tonight

* driving around researching new towns. tonight we explored a new town in a different state! (sounds dramatic but it's only like 10 minutes up the road in NH)

* being so excited to get into bed tonight. trying to wait until 7:30p but i'm not sure i can make it!

kisses to everyone! xx
