Life

gets hectic sometimes. On the surface I feel like I've cut out the main component of an 8-5 so why so busy right? Truth is, I have no idea, but the under current is crazy as all get out.

• I've read some awesome books: A Thousand Splendid Suns, Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, and Tears of the Desert. All eye-opening as to how horrific mankind can be to one another and very humbling in what I choose to complain about. Excellent reads if you want to break out of a fictional series for a bit (A Thousand Splendid Suns is still a work of fiction but with a true basis).

• I've got some serious midsection flab and seriously no motivation to shrink it. I may check out a pilates dvd from the library, but I also may run around the parking lot of our complex. Both maybes have a strong possibility of being beat out by a box of krispy kremes. Shame!

• Working on being a better wife and friend to my husband. (do I say this in every post??) Tough as I've developed a short fuse and often have to talk myself out of extreme rage stemming from things like adding a bowl to the sink after I've just finished washing dishes or leaving the last batch of laundry in the dryer for a week. hehehe Even as I type this I can see the blessings in both and know that I really have a wonderful husband, but dog-gone it, he's such a man!

• The why am I not working and what am I really doing with my life debate is mentally exhausting. I read a quote once that said something about as women we feel guilty for staying at home and not working and guilty for working and not staying home. I've felt both and well, guilt is pretty much guilt.

• I've got 10 new students in my Sunday school class and they are hilarious. Definitely going to keep me on my toes. Especially the boys. Do you remember being in the 5th and 6th grades? ::good times::

• A girlfriend of mine's daughter just went off to college and I realized that a lot of the advice I wanted to give her was also very incriminating. In general I want her to have fun, be safe, and make wise decisions but realize that the mistakes will come. Ahhh, college ::great times::

• The little mini's a singer. This makes me soooo happy as I tend to make up songs about everything and she jumps right on in.

• Speaking of my wild child I've scattered a few fav recent pics through the post. Isn't she getting big. Love is wayyyy too small of a description.

• Want to rejoin the facebook world but really doubt that I will. Can you imagine how neglected this little blog would be then?!?


Happy Early Monday Morn!
