feeling accomplished!

i accomplished a few things today.

like...

-changing my playlist and adding an abundance of love songs/slow songs. FABULOUS

Perfect for Valentines day. YAY ME! i was getting tired of my old playlist. and it was totally a worthwhile use of time. (note it's on an old playlist that i loved so there are some other songs that don't quite go, but whatever!it's good for that year round loving feeling)

-i did the dishes. they were supremely nasty, and i normally avoid doing them when they are sick like that. leaving them for Lance. EWWW! so this is HUGE!

-we undecorated the tree, and i packed up my glitterfabulous boyfriend. our affair will have to continue in December. we are on a break.

-we pulled Joy's loose tooth out (right top front). i started with floss, and it wouldn't come out for me, so Lance came up and YANKED IT OUT! holy crap. we have video of her reaction. hilarious. but i'm in it and i don't feel like being featured, so don't hold your breath on it getting posted, but it was FUNNY!

-we went to family night at the park. with the majority of my siblings. and a cousin and aunt and my mom. WHOOHOO family night!

- i made everyone bathe or shower to wash the park dirt off and get ready for another day of school.

and i've come to the conclusion that i am going to stop "shoulding" all over myself and others.

i use the word should too freaking often. and ya know what it often makes me feel guilty or anxious and I'M DONE WITH THAT CRAP!

everything i do now is a conscious decision.

if i do the damn dishes , it's not because i should . it's because i want to. or because they need done. or i'm just sick of seeing them. but not because i should.

dishes are just one example. how often do we see "i should be doing this, this and this, but i'm doing this instead." as someones facebook status? i've seen it.

i might have even used that. too.

so i'm done "shoulding" all over myself.

i anticipate making a new blog topper this week. for my FAVE HOLIDAY!

it's coming soon! yay! maybe even tonight, if i can keep Pierce out of my hair. YAY! i can't wait. it is SO WORTH LOST SLEEP TO HAVE A FABULOUS NEW TOPPER!

~~

and nope there was no meet and greet with Cancer man. which is FINE. today was a crazy hectic day with the kids home and Lance working . and like i said it will happen someday when he comes to AZ again. no worries.

~~

I'm not as booked this week as originally thought. which IS NICE! I was dreading something every day. Now I only have something Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. yay!and by something i mean during the day. this doesn't include evening activities. which i do in fact have stuff tuesday -thursday evenings. and maybe a date on Friday. WHOOHOO!

~~

high point today? working on my playlist. and Lance coming in and helping with it. i love that we have common taste in music.

Low point today? we failed to put the garbage to the curb, it will be a long week.

So hope you had a great Civil rights DAY!

mine was slow paced and enjoyable.
