Snow, Snuggies, and Fairytales

I woke up this morning to a crisp 30*. When did October become so cold? I think I may have missed the memo when we moved to Omaha that its cold here. I haven't even bought my signature fall boots or scarf yet and now its going to snow. How am I suppose to convince Wade that I need fall boots when it is snowing out? He is going to skip right ahead to winter attire. Snow, stay away please, at least until I get my new boots ;)

On another note, I am now a proud owner of a Snuggie. Thank you, Steph-face. It was a lifesaver this morning when I woke up and was shivering. All I had to do was put my arms through my snuggie and instant warmth. I know, alot of you are thinking snuggies are so unfashionable and make you look like E.T.  BUT the warmth they provide is well worth the lack of fashion.

I also love having Fridays off. It is so nice to have a day off during the week in which I can do whatever I want. I love going on shopping and there only being moms out with their cute kids bundled in their fall clothing. It kind of makes me feel like I'm a housewife, but not like the ones on tv, but like one who gets to keep the house all nice and tidy and fill it with the joys of the seasons. I like to pretend I am able to keep my house tidy and make homemade dinner every night and fresh baked goods for him to take to work. When I go out on Fridays I like to live in this world. I walk around the store smelling the fruit and picking out flowers and looking for cute fall decorations. Rarely do I buy these things but I like to look like I am going to. I also walk around Target picking out outfits with matching jewelry. Again, I don't purchase these things much but I like to act like I am a styling housewife. Ha. Do you all ever try to pretend your someone your not?

I think this fairytale I live is harmless, but sometimes I think I am discrediting where God has placed me. I really do love the job God has given me and the place He has placed me as well the opportunities He has made available to me, but on Fridays I start to think how much easier life would be if I lived in my fairytale land. Then God snaps me back to reality and reminds me I am living in His fairytale, which is way better than any I could imagine. So this Friday, I am going to live in reality. So instead of walking around stores daydreaming, I am going to go to the store to get the things done I need to. Like buying groceries and picking up the things I need to get for work. I also am going to clean up my house instead of leaving it for another day, which never comes around. I am going to live in reality because I am starting to see that is what matters most to God. Us living each day to its fullest the way He intends not the way we want it. Which sometimes is a hard thing to do, but Daddy's got our back and has a great plan in store for all those who believe. :)
Be blessed,
