It’s Friday evening and this is what I’m thinking…

May 7, 2010


You see these dreamy palm trees? I’m in love with them. They line the edge of an alfalfa field near my house and I pass them every day on my way home. I wish I could spread out a blanket and relax underneath one.

I keep going back and forth regarding these Friday thoughts. Really, I do have more important things to worry about…  Anyway, here I am.

It is interesting what people don’t tell you about themselves.


Accept gifts graciously and be thankful. Gifts are gifts. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday to you Grandma E.K. !! Lookin’ good at 93! Are you having fun yet?

How often do you free your mind and throw away your worries and let yourself have fun?

Sometimes I wish I had a personal seamstress at my beck and call.

This week I’ve discovered (once again) that activity affects my mood and general outlook and that I may be a more jealous person than I previously thought. Jealous only because it’s my inability to commit that is slapping me in the face.

I’m in the mood for a new look. Some sort of change.

Beau
is awesome and fun and silly and goofy but I desperately need an adult night out.

I need to start listening to myself and actually pay attention to my thoughts and feelings.

A part of me would like my car detailed for Mother’s Day… (the boring part of me.) It is so embarrassingly messy.

I did some quick math this week…I drive 60+ and 2+hours a day. Times that by 5 and I’m in the car 300+ miles, 10+ hours a week. And that’s just my commute. I’m tired of driving. So tired. Let me be honest though, it probably wouldn’t be that bad if I didn’t have to listen to “Wheels on the Bus” and “Old MacDonald” for those 10+ hours.

Any fun plans this weekend?

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms.  Happy weekend to everyone!

    you are always thought provoking. i would hate to be in the car that long. it would drive me crazy (no pun intended).

    why not listen to some adult songs too? 1/2 for you and 1/2 for Beau. just no rappers with inappropriate lyrics. lol

    Have a great Mother's Day and instead of getting your car cleaned, go have an adult night out to celebrate.

    It will make you a better Mommy to relax and listen to some adult music.

    I love your musings.

    I'm always interested in your thoughts, so please keep them going. I'm also amazed that you can remember so many of them when you sit down to blog. This makes me wonder whether you jot them down throughout the week and take out your Friday Thoughts pad at the end of the week with all your thoughts in one place, or if you have these thoughts all springing up into your head at once. I've wondered that almost every week when I read your blog. But never asked.

    Me too! I've wondered the same thing as Teri….

    I like your Friday thoughts but don't feel like it's a "have to" thing. Then you won't enjoy it. Just do it when the mood strikes. I think we should all live that way… then life is always fresh and exciting….

    what are you avoiding in your life? Are you a procrastinator like me regarding things you want to do and then get frustrated when others accomplish that same thing that you can't make yourself get off the couch and do? lol

    as always, a great read.

    i couldnt drive that much so props to you doing that.

    adult time is definitely a must and there is no need to feel guilty for that. in fact, your kiddos would thank you if they could.

    also, ive left something for you on my page. feel free to come grab it.
