5 on Friday

 

Alright here is my newest version of 5 on Friday. I am writing this during nap time on Thursday so it only seems fitting that my number one be.....

ONE

The "I Can't Sleep" dilemma. Scenario 1: You are exhausted and planning to sleep when your child naps, so you let your mind think about how amazing a nap would be. Then your child makes loud sounds and is highly energetic throughout her "rest" time therefore you never get to lie down like you hoped for. Scenario 2: You child falls asleep quickly. You have the time to rest. Your body is against you and won't allow you to actually fall asleep. Which of these scenarios is worse? I am leaning towards scenario 1 because your mind is so desiring sleep and yet with each additional loud crashing sound, you doubt that will happen. I wish I could help Eva sleep by cuddling up with her but I know from experience that doing so will only result in disaster.

TWO

Friendly visits. We had another former student from our youth group visit us while she is home on break from college. We have known Mollie for years and love her so much! It means so much when students initiate getting to see us while they are at home. Mollie is about to hop on a plane to Spain for the semester and we are so excited for her!

THREE

MOPS. I've been looking forward to MOPS starting back all week! I love having this on my calendar and even Eva was excited when I told her that we got to go this week. She adores seeing her little friends and even thought to pray for two of them the night before we started back. I love that she enjoys going as much as I do. Also we played BUNCO, which is such a fun game. 

FOUR

The Bachelor. Yes, I will admit that I am usually a huge fan of the show. I am usually so excited to watch it on Monday night. But this season? For the sake of being nice I will just say that I am not a big fan of Juan Pablo. Some of the things he has done and said really bother me. I know it's a reality dating show, but still....have some class. For the record, I really hope Nicky the children's nurse is on of the top finalists (DO NOT TELL ME IF YOU KNOW) but then again, I kind of think she is way classier than Juan Pablo. I'm not even sure if I'm going to keep watching this season.

 FIVE

Chocolate cake. I just found a huge piece of well preserved chocolate cake in the freezer that is leftover from my birthday party. I had forgotten that I had saved this piece. It was wrapped really well and still tastes delicious! Also I realized I can just slice off tiny pieces and rewrap it so that I don't have to commit to eating the whole thing at once. I love some frozen chocolate icing.
