honey do

i feel like i really will never be able to describe the tuesday night excitment i get every week.

josh is off tomorrow.

its relief.

its giddy.

its FINALLY, my friend is home.


every tuesday i get these mental lists of the things i will put my husband to "work" doing within his next 3 days off.


this week it is:


-clean out the garage


-finish sanding + and stain tate's old/new dresser. a month ago i threatened him with BUYING -gasp- a NEW one if he didnt do as he promised and got that thing up in his room in a week.


-make my front yard look like some of the plants growing amongst the rocks might be deliberate.


-laundry. boy do i hate folding laundry and it takes seriously 10 to 15 minutes to get everything folded and put away when both of us do it. i will seriously leave the basket of clothes on the dryer for the four days he's working so he can help me on my beloved wednesday. one day i'll be sara and dry, fold, iron, hang, iron again, spray with a wonderful fragrance, and gently and with love place each article in its designated place. i'm lying. i will never be able to do that- i just have this uncontrollable urge to not care. to not care and to forevermore shove folded clothes into already packed drawers... or on my hanging days ( i have those) i just hang um... everything. which brings me to my next item...


-clean out the closet and dressers. holy moley.


-speak with someone about a car loan. pause for a prayer:


please Jesus may i have a new car? i'm so grateful that i have A car that runs (usually), that "fits" my family, that was free- and still is free... but Lord you know what we need and if that is a new car... (pleasepleasepleaseplease) give us wisdom about buying one. if its not your will that we buy a new car... please just give me peace with what we have.


but God... please?


amen.


-play. play play play together.










20 minutes have passed. i was watching the news. taser cameras- cool. just dont take tasers away.





i've now lost momentum on this post.



goodnight.


because i love the hubs. and wednesdays.
