Someday..............
-I'll get the enthusiasm and energy to declutter my house so it will be ready to show/be sold in this lousy market. Not a fun prospect and frankly, it ranks about 37th on my list of 10 things I have NO DESIRE to do. Hey, how about in the next 3 weeks!!
Someday....-I'll keep a positive attitude that some fantastic family will walk inside, be completely smitten and want to buy my house PLUS beg to pay top dollar to get it ASAP, or when it works best for our family.
Someday....-I'll stop eating bad for me things like, hot dogs and Oreos and liking them. This only happens during pregnancy and so this HAS to stop!
Someday....
-I'll actually see/be in the same room as Kyle for more than 30 minutes a night. As of today, our mason is "rockin out" our fireplace in the back and when that's done, the front of the house and front porch posts....so exciting. I've done my part and found some fantastic knobs (love that word) and pulls for all cabinets (on line) that will work just fine. We confirm our cabinet order tomorrow (gulp) and our appliances were verified today. There is still so much to be done in such a short amount of time. We're a good team...Mr. Thomas and I. I hold down the fort and he gets to build the house. I choose fort. Kyle continues to amaze me by his tireless work ethic. The guy is a machine..a smarty smart, handsome, clever, hilarious, solid machine who has spent so many hours on this house I can't even begin to relate. I'm just so dang lucky to have him -even though it is so limited these days....Sundays are truly my favorite day of the week.

Kyle's shop/barn is complete. Now it just needs it's matching paint job and doors!
Someday...
-I'll figure out how to teach Jack the magic that is "shoe tieing." Obviously I'm a miserable failure with the whole bunny ears...loopy loop....pull it through...BLAHHHH! flip flops forever!

Someday....
-I'll be able to run again. I'm a proud treadmill walker (at a 3.8-4.0 pace) at least 4 days a week but it still just doesn't break the sweat that I love to feel streaming down my face.
Someday.....
-I'll be holding my darling, brown haired, olive skinned baby GIRL.......Ms. Kate. I've envisioned and named this little gal since I was about 12, and literally....weeks, we will meet.....Finally! I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check her growth rate and track my fluid levels (always sounds so attractive). My drink of choice will be one tropical punch Glucola on the way to my appt. so it should be a good day. It's pretty bizarre to really feel like this whole crazy experience of getting her here safely could really be over in a matter of weeks!
The ever cheesy and gummy Brody modeling Kate's newly purchased car seat cover. This delicious pink in my house is really throwing me off.
Someday....
-I'll reward myself for being such a clever Easter bunny who provided all little Thomas children their own (already labeled mind you) gloves and shovels so hours of argue-less weeding would ensue! -Such a beautiful sight.
Someday.....
-I'll look back on this post and laugh. All 4 children will be happily weeding outside, Jack's shoes will be tied, I'll have just run a few miles after saying NO to an Oreo, Kyle will be leisurely putting around in his barn and I will then burst out in song.....and sound just like the spittin image of you know who!!

Awe, I LOVED that post! I thought it was "practically perfect in every way". Kate...what a darling name. We contemplated that one for Jane. Don't you just wish they sold those Glucola drinks at the Sev? Yum.
I have been tasked with the assignment to teach all of the Jr. Primary how to TIE THEIR SHOES at an upcoming Primary Activity on becoming more self-reliant. What the? I don't remember ever learning how to tie my own shoes, let alone having to teach a GROUP of kids who aren't my own how to do it. Hmph. Hopefully I can come up with at least something to entertain them for 10 minutes. Perhaps a song and dance routine...
Clever, clever post. Look how you came full circle with that - love it. :) Kate - so cute. I know 2 Kates, and both are such lovely, wonderful people. Good choice!

My one and only question: how DO you solve a problem like Maria??
-xoxo-Kir
ps--nice going on the kid gloves, and fabulous choice with the car seat for Baby Kate (pink is pretty sweet...)
I love your post! You can always make me laugh. The house is looking great! If it makes you feel any better...Carter still can't tie his shoes. I broke down and bought him the much hated velcro. So much easier.:)
Good luck at your appointment, gotta love the Glucola drink.
Someday...the story of my life I think. =) Your house is looking great. Love the softie car seat. Love the name Kate! =) I can't believe she will be here so soon. I've been meaning to mention that you totally inspired me on Easter to make deviled eggs...and they were so good! YUM
I don't know what you are talking about...This post is simply OOZING with wit!!! I love reading your posts! Fun updates, cute kids, can't wait for baby pics! BTW, I learned a song about tying your shoe laces on Sesame Street, in fact, I think it is aptly named "Tying your Shoelace." I could teach it to you and you could sing it to Jack with a lovely British accent! Have a great day!
Someday is RIGHT! I loved this post. I have my own list of "someday..." I really might copy this idea.
It's so wierd how I remember thinking "someday Maya will be eight and get baptized, and someday Eden will be in kindergarten tying her own shoes, and someday I will have my baby boy." And here I am living in my "someday". How did that happen!?
BTW...gorgeous house!
I like to think about the somedays too. They are fun! Kate is such a darling darling darling name. I love it. She'll be here very quick. I'll keep checking in.
