I have a two foot tiny tornado living with me now. It looks like my life rewound about 20 years around here.
Currently I’m:
Watching: Doc McStuffins
Listening to: the sound of a toddler drink milk through a sippy cup.
Gazing: at a living room full of toys, books, and an upside down toddler chair
Hearing: my son ready himself for a donut run with dad
Wondering: if daughter number two will make it up for donuts after stargazing with her brother at 2:00AM
Feeling: the effects of an almost entirely full house (I keep thinking I could totally launch a “Fuller House” sitcom myself)
Knowing: this “Fuller House” will shrink on Saturday with the return of son and daughter to college.
Wishing: we had more than five days with my middle before she returns.
Praying: for my youngest, as she battles spiders, giant cockroaches, and heat in Bermuda
Believing: that God is using her to touch lives there
Biting: my lip in anticipation of her return
Regretting: that she has to begin her sohpomore year of college the very next day.
Discussing: last night’s meteor shower with my son (it was cloudy so they saw zero action in the sky)
Concentrating: on three conversations at once while
Typing: this update
Remembering: yesterday’s final cleaning and clearing out of my daughter’s home (the closing is today)
Sensing: the heat of my grandson as he now snuggles against me (“Up, Gigi!”) with his favorite dog and pacifier
Acquiescing: Sawyer’s request to look at balls on my computer
Wondering: if I’ll ever get my house back in order from being the holding tank of two moves of two different children, and a third’s college gear
Viewing: my new phone lock screen, which contains the promise of Jeremiah 29:11
Trusting: that God knows what he’s doing through all this upheaval.
Encouraging: daughter number one that indeed he does.

So lovely my dear friend. You must have had so much fun.
so good to hear about what is being happening.
God bless you
It's a pretty fun place around here! I'd love to hear a little more about your life, Ifeoma! 🙂
I love this! It's like you invited me right straight into the living room and said, "Stay a while and be a part of the family."
Such wondrous chaos, right? You have so many strings of your heart all over the place in those children 😉
And indeed you would be welcome into my toy cluttered, people packed living room! Also I would give you a slice of the 3 layer German Chocolate cake I made today in celebration of my son-in-law's bday (it was amaze).
And YES. So. Many. Strings. Heart tugging and wrenching – but that only means I am blessed, right?
Would love to read your own "currently". I bet you have some stories for me too! (You can just send me my own personal one in my email sometime;)
Always love hearing from you, Tex!
