Strange….

Funny that it’s 6 months later and I’m still feeling the exact way…..Don’t know if that’s bad or good….Here’s a curiosity and conundrum all rolled into one!!! Why the hell is clutter beginning to get to me so much? That daydream of picking beautiful flowers and threading them on a long silk thread sound better and better. Simplicity— it’s my new favorite word. I refuse to give into 24-hour yoga pants or sweats, but I gotta tell ya making things simple has an allure lately. I’d rather come up with a new hack to take my stress down a notch than get laid.

I’m sensing a real problem with this epiphany.

What the future holds…

So anyway on another note…. So… how many moms out there, at my age, fantasize about being a grandma and have little mini-SNL skits in their heads of what the future with four kids, spouses and hopefully a gaggle of grandkids looks like?? OK raise your hands! I do! All the F’n time.

Can’t wait for parenthood to hit the Johnson/Morgan clan! Once it all starts, because the aunts & uncles will be 100% on board till all the catching up is done, it is going to be MY time! My day to sit back, put my feet up, put my hands behind my head and just watch…. quietly, but relishing all the same. When the manual can’t be found, or the latest mommy VLOG or blog or book isn’t scratching the itch… my existence will be fulfilled. Can’t wait for the new traditions to take effect. New recipes to be unveiled, new trophies to be had…. new family gatherings….all along while I get to spoil the new kiddies rotten. JK. Anybody else excited about this chapter in their lives?? Some of you are knee deep in it already…..is it as amazing as I think it’s going to be? Wait—-don’t spoil it for me if it’s not. Sshhhhhhhhh……….

I already have a whole Netflix marathon about this chapter in our lives written in my head. One caveat, though, I want Sophia Vergara to start working on her accent so she can play me (a girl can dream can’t she??)….and if I can figure out a way for Jimmy Fallon to play somebody in our family….. I will THEN be complete.

May the mayhem begin!!!
