really not a lot but enough of my uncomposed thoughts

Most of my days are usually very full and quite busy. I usually have something planned to do on any given day but at least 3 out of 7days a week all i have planned to do is clean. I usually don't want to clean on these days but I usually do. Today is one of those days :)But what I would really like to do is go out for Hot Chocolate with a good friend, or convince my husband to take the whole day off and stay home and just 'be with me.'

These are also the days where I often dream of all the things I would just love to have in my home like a big carpet one that can easily lay over our beautiful hard wood floors but is big enough so that Ellie can easily take herself place to place without fear of slipping on slippery floors. Oh, and it doesn't cost us more than $25 or $30 but ideally I would find one for like $10; do those kind of deals happen? I would also love a big bath tub (silly I know) but I can't fit in most bath tubs even when I'm not pregnant so I dream of being able to comfortably surround myself in a big tub with lots of bubbles. I would also like more storage space most of the time our little home feels so cluttered and I de-clutter it on a regular bases but it's still cluttered :)

Speaking of storage space we need something to put our childrens clothes in Ellie has a storage bin we keep her clothes in for the time being but it is definately not big enough to fit any of what her brother will probably have. Now speaking of stuff I'm humbled by the fact that we have such a thing as a storage issue as little money as I may have here in the U.S. I am filthy rich compared to those in other countries I need to remind myself and keep that prospective so that I will be more thankful.

Completely change of thought

We have a little boy coming in April/May, i'm hoping more for May so that the last weekend of April my hubby can use his last 3 vacation days for a romantic get away. He has to use them up before May and then as soon as May comes he has more days. Right now he's saving the time he has left for if the baby decides to come early, smart to do, since his job is so strict on attendance they would probably fire him even if it was for a legitament purpose like "My Wife is in labor?" They would say to him "Oh well you should have saved your days."

It would be wonderful if God would give him a new job or at least hope of a promotion in this job but I am learning and continually learning that it is God who provides for us, my husband's job is simply a tool that God uses and for some reason, right now, God has chosen this as the best tool not only to provide for us but to shape us into the people he wants us to be. I will admit though I often, and foolishly, think that my ideas of tools to use would be better. I continue to be humbled and shown through the little ways that Carl and I grow that this is the best tool for this time.
