Wednesday Senses

I am sitting at my computer in the office/laundry room.
I have an artificial breeze blowing on me, created by a fan.
I am drinking ice water spruced up with lime.
I hear the dryer and a piece of paper fluttering about on the desk.
I smell detergent and nail polish.
I feel unsettled. I have a strong desire to move out of state. I'm misplaced here in AZ.
I see a laundry room with 6 baskets of clean clothes needing to be folded and put away.
I see a pile of school paperwork. Both need my attention.
I'm hoping to not be defeated by a three year old today.
I'm thankful that my dad is recovering from surgery, this week is a 4 day-er for my kiddos & for my sister.
I'm trying to not be overwhelmed with our calendar, commitments and state of being.
I'm peaceful about a conversation KK and I had last night. She's a big kid, making big decisions and has a big heart.
I've accomplished a bit of laundry, packing lunches, getting big kiddos to school, sweeping the floor and getting through a temper tantrum.
I knew the moment I woke up I was overwhelmed. But I also knew it was this girls big day...

I have three quotes currently hanging on our kitchen cupboards. The quotes change with the seasons and the stages of our lives. My quotes and inspirations are a reflection of where I am in life.
Here is where we're at:

1) Done is better than perfect.
2) You're going to miss this, you're going to want this back.
3) Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.

These are all driven specifically for me as reminders to let go of control and to be present.
One of the reasons I write Wednesday Senses is to help me be aware of my surroundings, feelings and life in general. Five years from now I want to be able to reread a Wednesday Senses post and immediately be taken back in time to that specific day. Five years from now life will be very different. Heck, five months from right now life may be different and I welcome that. However, I want to capture today, here and now.
