Taking Stock: April

Posted on the 13 April 2015 by Lifeofasportswife @jessaolson
I haven't been around these parts too much recently. Not because I haven't wanted to be but because baseball has taken over my life. This year I decided that I wanted to work at the ballpark more than I did last year. So this year I am working one of the beer portables. AND fixing all the baseball pants for the players for the second year. 

I love being at the ballpark for many reasons, but it's nice to be at the same place as the hubs. We don't get to hang out or anything but it's nice just to be in the same place. He'll walk by the stand and we'll wave. Plus I love baseball. I worked in baseball prior to being with Gary so it's nice to still be around. 


Making: my meal plans. Baseball has taken over, and we have slacked on this.
Cooking: Nothing. Eating at the ballpark most nights or grabbing something on the way home.
Drinking: Mountain Dew. I am trying to give up soda. I want to cut down to 3 a week.
Reading: Making it Happen by Lara Casey. And catching up on the She Reads Truth Bible In A Year. I haven't been doing too well at this but I am determined to start and finish it.
Wanting: Ipad Mini and/or Longchamp bag!
Looking: At IKEA. We are thinking about going this weekend to get stuff for the house. I am so excited about it.
Wishing: Some people would be honest when you text them.
Enjoying: Opening Weekend!! It was a great weekend. The Power started 2-0 the first time EVER, and won the series over Savannah Sand Gants.
Liking: That there are more baseball wives/girlfriends around this season. I can't wait to meet them all.
Loving: That baseball season is here. AND the Braves are doing GREAT.
Hoping: I can survive working my full time job AND the ball park.
Needing: Just a day off from everything! I have a lot of things that I want to accomplish. I am really committed to making a change this year.
Smelling: All the candles around the house.
Wearing: Wearing my Power hoodie and my houndstooth pants. I got the pants at a fun boutique in Nitro for $5. (Regular $50)
Following: Tons and Tons of new bloggers. I have been finding new bloggers everywhere. 
Noticing: Being organized takes a lot more work than I have been giving it.
Knowing: I have more baseball pants to work on. They need to get done, but I don't have the motivation.
Thinking: I can't wait to get my new Whitney English Day Designer. I love my planner, but I wasn't thinking when I got it. It was the academic version. I know I'm not in school anymore but I want to use the planner immediately but now I'm kinda regretting that. I purchased another one from facebook and can't wait to get it.
Feeling: Excited. Tired. Anxious.
Watching: Real Housewives of NYC
Listening to: Podcasts. Right now I wanting to go through all from The Influence Network. It's really hard at work because I am trying to do both.
Shopping for: Things for the house. I can't wait for IKEA. And we are going to purge more things from the house. I can't wait to share my 100 things I got rid of.
Learning: To be present in the here and now
Bothered by: I don't really want to go into too much detail, but there's a certain topic really bothering me. I really don't know how to address it or if I should.
Wasting time on: On Everything. I need to get organized and stick to my schedule.
Praying for: In general. I need to spend more time doing this
Working on: A secret project(s)
Wasting: time
Sewing: Baseball Pants. On the bright side I have been inspired to want to sew more things.
