A Post About Nothing

April 13, 2016 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom, Life 3 Comments

This post really isn’t about anything.

I’m sad to say I’ve had writer’s block for some time now.  I have zero ideas.  ZERO.

I must be in a black hole of some sort.  Nothing interesting is happening {which is odd and scary all at the same time}.

I’ve also lost my knack for being witty…

So instead of writing about anything that matters in life right now, I’ll give you a visual of what’s currently happening in my home.

I’m on the couch, laptop on my lap {duh}.  Andrew is sitting near me with a small badminton racket.  Reynolds is standing on the floor about 5 feet from us, with a construction helmet on his head, he’s holding a stickee paddle and is hitting a wiffle golf ball…

R is going back and forth between playing baseball and golf, and he’s having the time of his life! Daddy is also getting a minor workout chasing the little ball around the den.

Have I mentioned that he’s going to bed later than “normal”?  It’s 8:15 and the kid is wired.  Meanwhile, I could pass out at any moment.  If I only had half of his energy level.  If only I could take a 2-hour nap every day…
What’s going on in your world tonight?

    Haha. I’m with you on the writer’s block. Loved the visual of the household.

    well… Conference calls, dropped off goodies for a client, made it to choir practice, got home, put baby girl down, and now reading my sweet friends blog about nothing and smiling because everything you write about is SOMETHING that everyone relates too in our real life and that we all love taking the time from our crazy day to sit and read because it welcomes us into your home and that perspective brings joy ❤️

    I’m still up working because I was out of school for two days with an Upper Respiratory Infection. Pierce had a committee dinner, so I left school at 4:45, picked up Evans, ran home so he could change, and took him to baseball practice. I had a babysitter pick up MC from school and take her to gymnastics. Evans and I left baseball at 6:45, picked up MC, went to Chick-Fil-A, Rite-Aid (more sinus meds), the ATM machine (I owe babysitting and dog sitting money to people), and finally home. MC studied, they took baths, we said prayers, and I finally put them to bed at 9 – an hour and a half past their bedtimes. We made it, though, and I’m thankful for the strength God gave me to help me through the day!

These two have a unique relationship...one moment These two have a unique relationship...one moment they love and adore each other (she was smitten with him from day 1), and the next they fight like cats and dogs.🤪😅 But, in moments like these...#heartmelting 💓

Happy Saturday people!!🙌🥳 Today is day 6 of Happy Saturday people!!🙌🥳
Today is day 6 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge. I actually skipped yesterday because I felt very uninspired by all the things around me 🥴😩 and the prompt Fresh didnt conjure up anything exciting.
But. Today is a brand new day and we're off to a great start over here.🌞 
Today's prompt is Rhythm...and being a lover of words, I looked it up to read all of the meanings. 📚
Rhythm always makes me think of music and dancing, so today's pic is of my feet.🤩 I'm no professional dancer but I LOVE to dance. We almost always have music playing in our house and twirling is a constant. Eliza Jane takes dance lessons and Reynolds is hoping to jump into a hip hop class at the same studio.🕺 Andrew and I took dance lessons for a little over a year, until the world shut down last year. So dancing is in our veins. 
Along with dancing are repeated patterns and such is life. Patterns of waking and sleeping and the chores of the day. Patterns of food and seasons. Patterns of work and rest. Patterns of joy and sadness. 
There are rhythms all around if we are conscious enough to see them.
What patterns do you see in your own world?
#hopewriterlife
Day 4 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and to Day 4 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and today's prompt is simply: Twenty One.
21. A simple enough number. I pondered writing to my 21 year-old self and quickly decided that wouldn't be a fun time to reminisce 🤪, so I scratched that idea.

I debated on sharing 21 ideas for supper but who am I to tackle THAT!? 👩‍🍳
Maybe 21 books that I want to read this year? 📚
What about 21 stores and shops where I like to find our home reno supplies? Nah.

I even considered 21 hopes for this brand new year we've just started but wasn't quite feeling it.

I landed on 21 adjectives to describe what I like about myself. Some of you may think, why on earth? Because it was hard 🥴😬. Because it forced me to really compliment myself when I am my own worst critic and often speak negativity over myself. It took me maybe 2 minutes to do this, and for that I am thankful!🙌

If you were to write 21 adjectives of what you like about yourself could you do it? And how long would it take you? What would you write?😉 Debating? Just do it 😘♥️

Shine: to give out a bright light or a quality of Shine: to give out a bright light or a quality of brightness.
Today is day 3 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and the topic is the word Shine.
When I think of shining, its in a way that brings happiness, joy, excitement, expectation even. Like the sun rising in the east - hence my photo from Sunday morning when Andrew and I were in Kiawah. The shining I think of doesn't bring dread or gloom. When the sun shines, especially after a rainy day, we are thrilled ♥️ and even relieved at times, that the gloom is over.
 
This is what I want of my life, my words and actions...I want to shine in a way, that people are excited to see/hear from me, as they are a bright star or the sun. Not dread my appearing 😩 (or God forbid applaud my leaving).

Lord, shine through me so that it's you they see. Not me, Lord. Not me.

What books are your kids into? Besides the Magic T What books are your kids into? Besides the Magic Treehouse series, R is really loving this dictionary we found yesterday while touring @lucasproperties newest flip project 😆🤪
Man, I love this kid.

Progress not Perfection. I've heard this over and Progress not Perfection.
I've heard this over and over and I'm finally putting it into practice this year 🙌
Day 2 of the @hopewriters challenge and we're talking about Progress. So of course I've given you a blurry photo of my @cultivatewhatmatters
#powersheetsplanner January tending list.😆 These are all the things I'm working on this month, this week and today...and some of my things are private 😘
I will share I'm making progress in: spending less, eating less sugar, exercising more consistently, spending more time with my family and Jesus.♥️

Progress is good...it's moving forward in (hopefully) the right direction.
How about you...what does progress look like in your life today?

😄 This week I'm participating in the @hopewrite 😄 This week I'm participating in the @hopewriters #writingchallenge.
Today's prompt: New You...hence my "I'm at the hair salon" photo.😄 New You, New do 💇‍♀️
We have a motto in our house right now, and I'm sure you've either heard or said it yourself: New Year, New You.😉
We are saying it in our house for various and interesting reasons...from Emory wiping his own behind (he's 4), to Reynolds tying his shoes (hello, bunny ears) and Eliza Jane brushing her hair and pulling it out of her face (for crying out loud). And @theandrewrlucas wanting to run a ridiculous 650 miles this year...babe, you do you😘😜.
I can't say that I'm wanting a "new" version of myself this year. Or even that I'm wanting to start anything new, but I definitely want a better version of what I see, think, feel and hear. For me, I recognize it all starts with my time in the Word so this year's got a goal of rising early EVERY day to tune my heart and mind more into Him.♥️ Even on the days I want to sleep in, #firstthingsfirst.
How about you? New you or a better version?

Probably one of the best, most fun, enjoyable and Probably one of the best, most fun, enjoyable and productive weekends we've had together in a while.🙌 @theandrewrlucas you're the best of the best ♥️ and most certainly my favorite.

Thankful and expectant...life with you @theandrewrlucas is my favorite 😘

It was a beautiful day to get the boat out of the It was a beautiful day to get the boat out of the water...and as I stood on the dock watching them drive away I thought to myself:
🛥I hope our kids know what an amazing dad they have. He works so hard for our family.♥️ 
🛥 I hope they know how blessed and lucky they are to be able to go to the lake on a random Monday.
🛥 I hope we don't take what we have for granted, because the Lord has been so kind and gracious, even when we haven't been deserving of a thing.🙏
