/> Raising Angels: Phrase of the Day

Phrase of the Day

Today I cut down on the errands so I could clean the house and enjoy the weekend. There was just one phrase that repeatedly came out of my mouth - I can't wait!

As I was lugging huge things up the ladder into the attic I said, "I can't wait until I move in the new house and can just walk into the attic."

As I stepped over big buys from Sam's on my way to the washing machine I said, "I can't wait until I have my very own pantry to store this stuff."

As I picked up toys over and over and over again I said, "I can't wait to have a house big enough where every single thing will have its place."

As I vacuumed the carpet that seems to be a magnet for everything unclean I said, "I can't wait to have more wood floors and carpet that actually hides the dust instead of magnifying it."

By the end of the day...well, okay, I still have laundry to fold but it's almost the end...I felt a little accomplished but also a tad frustrated.

Oh please Lord help us finish the house SOON! I can't wait!

Amy,

I feel the exact same way right now! Except I keep thinking, "I can't wait to bend down." "I can't wait to sleep on my stomach." (and have wine and run and ride a bike). Ahhh, short-timers mentality!

Hope it comes together soon. It will be worth the wait you've endured.
