Oh hey, Friday!

Y’all, it’s been one heck of a week at the Sloan house. We were coming off a high from an awesome yard sale {and our final fundraiser} last weekend and like a brick wall, BAM the devil stopped us dead in our tracks.

That’s normally how it goes, right?

From running out of gas multiple times in Cory’s old truck to immunizations to a yellow jacket nest, we’ve been tested over and over this week. We’ve been frustrated, snappy and just downright rude to each other. I know I can’t be the only one who has these bad days with their husbands, right?

Just keeping it real.

Even though this week has been very trying, I finally feel like our lives are getting back to normal after weeks of fundraising. We are caught up on all our thank you letters and had a home cooked meal every night this week {and I made 3 of ’em!}. It’s been nice having my evenings free to do things like go to the grocery store {not really, I hate the grocery store but I do love having food in the house}, cook dinner and snuggle my pups. I’m telling you, my productivity has been through the roof since I put down my computer this week. I was even able to fit in a load of laundry and a bath for Hampton last night but I really have missed this little blog of mine and so excited to get back into the swing of things.

So without further ado, here’s some of my Friday favorites! 

ONE | As busy as we’ve been the past couple weeks, I’ve been braiding my hair. A lot. I haven’t braided my hair in years but was tired of always wearing it in a pony tail. When my hair is braided, I at least feel more put together even if I don’t look like it.

TWO | Who wouldn’t love spending more time with this face??? So glad his ears are starting to grow back out because he is finally starting to look like my Einstein again.

THREE | Y’all, the last time I had a shot was fifteen years ago when I moved to public school in 6th grade. {Has it really been fifteen years since I started middle school???} For the past nine months, my biggest fear concerning our trip to Rwanda has been the immunizations and Tuesday I had to get three shots to be cleared for travel. I have to say that I’ve come a long way in fifteen years and didn’t shed one tear however yellow fever and tetanus got the best of me and my arm is still sore!

FOUR | Wednesday night while mowing the yard, Cory found a yellow jackets nest the hard way. All evening his ankle was swollen and itched but when he woke up Thursday morning, his foot looked like this…

I’m not the most compassionate person in the world but I really do try in situations like this when my husbands foot is twice {or three times} the normal size. But I just couldn’t help myself Thursday morning, when he came hobbling in the bathroom to show me. I had to get one good laugh in. Worst wife ever, I know.

FIVE | Ridiculousness. Do y’all watch this show? Cory and I love it…maybe a little too much. We are notorious for setting a show like this or Kitchen Nightmares to record and before we know it we have 70 episodes on our DVR. Weeks like this one when there isn’t much to watch and we need some back ground entertainment while writing thank you notes, for example, we love to watch episode after episode of this show. I laughed so hard last night I thought I was going to cry.

So there you have a glimpse into our crazy week. This weekend is going to be a good one because we have the gender reveal party for Cory’s best friend Daniel and his wife Tiffany. I can’t wait to find out if Baby Capps will be a boy or girl. I’ll be sporting my pink :)
