Happy Valentine’s Day. Be nice to the ones you love.
Last night’s babysitter experience was a success. After Beau saw their vacuum and heard their dogs we were pretty much chopped liver.
Life is good at throwing curve balls.
Other people’s relationships make me wonder sometimes. A lot of times actually.
There are times when I look at my life and wonder how it is that I’m 31, and married with a kid. Wasn’t I just at PHS? And didn’t I just graduate college?
Do you have tomorrow off? Lucky you.
I’ve been in a mood lately. I can’t place my finger on it or the exact cause of it. Could be lack of time; A to-do-list that never ends; Noise – lots of noise; Dogs underfoot; Not speaking my mind enough; I could go on and on and on. But I won’t. I will try to snap out of it. Because when all is said and done my life is good and my frustrations are merely temporary.We have our windows open. The scent of the cool air is a tonic tonight.
Are you doing what you want to be doing? Today. This month. This year.
Love is wonderful. Love isn’t always easy.
Sometimes I think about the past and things that I could have done differently and should have done differently. I keep reminding myself that it’s a done deal. I am where I am and I’m supposed to be here.
There is always more than what meets the eye.
Margaret Atwood said it well… “Where to start is the problem, because nothing begins when it begins and nothing’s over when it’s over, and everything needs a preface: a preface, a postscript, a chart of simultaneous events.”
Until next time…Enjoy life!

Lizzi,
I am right there with you. How did I get to be almost 53 with three almost grown children, a husband, a house, and worries.
All I know is that it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and since my voice is terrible, I won't be singing anything for a long time, so there is a lot of journey to complete.
Despite my wonderful Valentine's Day, I am in a mood too. I just constantly worry about things, mostly my children. It is a hard world out there. I worry about all the snow and ice, and if they are safe in a car, at work, on foot. I just constantly have one of them and sometimes all three on my mind. I was never like this, but being a mother changes you.
I loved all your thoughts. How can you be so insightful on a Sunday evening when all I wanted to do was watch the Amazing Race?
And, finally, windows open….oh how I envy you. Is it Spring Yet? Enjoy your week, lovely lady, and remember 31, you are still just a baby.

I love that quote by Margaret Atwood. I'm going to have to journal that….
It's nice to take inventory and ask, "how did I get here." I've done that often throughout my life and, while the years seem to pass so quickly, if we pay attention to each day they all pile up into a fluffy mound of wonderful.

Lisa says
Yea on the babysitter success! I love that the vacuum was selling point!
Holli says
Glad the babysitter worked out and that now you can be even freer with your date nights!
I often wonder how I'm turning 36 this year. Just yesterday I was climbing trees with my brother, I swear I was! Or playing Playdoh barbershop…..
