Today’s 8 faves of the day (and week due to being out of town) are dedicated to desires and abilities. You know when you have the desire to do something but no ability? For instance the desire to kick a goal into the net for the USA team so they finally get something on the board, but no ability to because   a. I’m in Miami and b. I don’t play soccer…at all.

However, you could most certainly reverse the analogy…and say I have the ability but no desire to do something. LIKE……I have the Ability to clean my whole house in one day, but really zero desire. You see what I’m saying by now I’m sure. Right. ???

So, here’s to both desire and ability working harmoniously together in the last few days…..and the challenge of them ever working together again.

1. desire to sleep in, and ability to because Charlie went back to sleep after this morning’s 530 feeding. :)

2. ability to mop my downstairs floor after a week and a half of ignoring the need, and the desire to get it over with.

3. desire to go for a quick run (which I think should count twice since it was 1pm) and the ability to accomplish that task…with a dog and a baby in tow.

4. the desire to get a pedicure over the weekend minus my darling son, and the ability to do so because of my wonderful husband.

5. desire to make my husband’s first Father’s Day extra special by getting him a tee time at Doral’s Blue Monster course, and the ability to do so thanks to God’s faithfulness in the finance department.

6. ability to watch the entire US/Algeria World cup match in the middle of the morning via DVR, pausing and fast forwarding and desire to do so.

7. desire to have a clean…er dog, ability to tell the twin junior high boys that stayed with us for a couple nights to do that task or no dinner. JK!

AND finally………

8. desire to do a little sitting around, mindless facebooking/scrapbooking/reading/whatever I can squeeze out of 40 minutes while Charlie sleeps and the ability to do so because Charlie is sleeping.

Here’s to your desires and abilities coming together today.

Much love,

Andrea
