A couple of real things on this glorious Friday: (aren't most Fridays glorious?)
1) I was thinking the other day how the season of life we are in right now is so very different from our previous seasons and how there are details in this particular season that we would have never chosen for ourselves. I was thinking about how things will be better "when" and "if" fill in the blank happens. I was thinking how much easier and better life will be when XYZ falls into place.
2) My child looks like a frat boy. And it breaks my heart. His school has requested that he no longer wear one-pieces since they are potty training. I use that term lightly because other than that poo-poo on day 1, Jones has shown no interest in using the potty like a big boy.
At any rate, I do understand their need for ease in undressing toddlers. Also, my child is huge. I put him in a 2T jon-jon and his belly bulged, the buttons unsnapped in the crotch. He is tall. It may just be easier to go with shorts and a shirt.

Then this morning while talking with Trey, it hit me. Every season in life is different from the previous one in some shape or form. And the only constant in life is change. So why am I not focusing on the right now. The fun, amazing, exciting parts AND the ugly parts of right now.
There are so many things that are happening in our life right now that may not be happening if certain circumstances brought to exactly right where we are.
I know that seems vague. One day I will explain everything in my best selling book. (I kid, I kid. Kinda)
I hope that whatever season you are going through right now that you will take time to enjoy it. If there are trials, they will eventually pass. If there are none for you now, the trials will, unfortunately, eventually come.

But, people. Have you shopped for cute boy play clothes lately? I die. It is a disaster. Short of spending $50 per play outfit (which I will NOT do), I am out of luck. Apparently the clothing companies think I should dress my child in a graphic t with a dump truck on it that says "TOUGH LIKE DADDY".
Umm. no.
So, my child looked like a cross between a pro golfer and a frat boy this morning.
Cutie pie eating his banana before daycare. Or college. Either one:
3) It's Friday, and I couldn't be more excited about not having plans this weekend. I like a simple life.

We are trying to get Murf some day care/play clothes right now since apparently summer is here....the selection is AWFUL! I just don't understand! So far, all I've bought are plain, colored T-shirts and a few shorts. U-G-L-Y! [I'll take any 2Ts Jones is outgrowing :)]
Go to tjmaxx for polo shirts and shorts! Wayyyyyy cheaper than department stores. I, too, refuse the dorky graphic things...but we also didn't ever go for Smocked/Jon Jons, so Hank has been a frat boy since about 10 months old ;)
