*Wearing the same jeans every single day. Ironically, even though I find myself wearing the same jeans and over-sized sweatshirt (hello, What Not to Wear??), there always seems to be an abundance of my clothes in the dirty laundry pile.
*A break from teething. Good golly miss Molly! Brooklyn's mouth has been an explosion of teeth this week, and Morgan's been working on a couple too. That being said, they've actually handled it pretty well, so I can't really complain. Although...Brooklyn's diapers have been a force to be reckoned with. Yeesh!
*Coffee. If you know me at all, you know that I'm pretty addicted to coffee. I have exactly 2.5 cups every morning to get me going. I don't know how you moms that can't have any survive! We try to buy fair-trade coffee as a small and simple way of recognizing the value of the laborers producing our goods. "Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his countrymen work for nothing, not paying them for their labor." Jeremiah 22:13. We still have a long way to go in terms of the clothes we wear and things we use on a regular basis, but I guess you have to start somewhere, right?
*Wild Rice Burgers. Jeremy's parents recently introduced us to this heavenly recipe, and I am smitten. I'm pretty sure that world peace could be achieved if all the world leaders sat down to a meal of this goodness. No joke.
*Music. I don't know what I would do without it. Singing the babies to sleep, helping my piano students develop, leading worship at church, or singing silly songs with Jack about everything from elephants to trains. Music is definitely a sanity-saver.
*Laughter. Being married to Jeremy Jennings and being the mother to two little ones, I laugh a lot. A LOT. You should too! Laughter reduces stress/pain/anxiety, increases immunity, and just feels good. Don't have much to laugh about? Come have dinner at our house! I'll even make wild rice burgers. :)
