Thoughts on a Thursday

The wind has made its way into my yard and I don’t like it one bit.  It makes my blood pressure rise and makes me feel like I’m trying to hurry everywhere.  I think it’s fair to say I officially hate the wind.

I’ve done a test today.   Whatever room I’m in, within minutes, that’s where the cats are as well.  I guess I will turn into that “old cat lady” one of these days.  Cats will be sitting at my feet while I hem my apron.

Speaking of hemming. I hemmed some pajamas for my oldest son to use as a costume in The Sound of Music.  I sat and hand stitched them and it felt good to do something so simple with my hands.   Why is that?  He loved them so much that he wore them to bed last night.  (Little does he know they are women’s pajamas.)

I’ve decided to take an iphoto class at the local art school in April.   I’m really looking forward to it.  I know how to use iphoto, but this is supposed to take me to the next level.  Should be fun.

I am so lost for ideas to make for dinner. I feel bad for my family and having to suffer through the same things over and over.  I’m really hoping my lottery ticket wins this week so I can hire a chef. 

I’m thinking that I need to be here for a little bit.  Just a little while to breathe.

Thinking Outloud

Just some thoughts I’ve had these last few days…

Even though my children are growing up so quickly, they still have moments where they just need to snuggle with mom.  I love that about them.

When it comes right down to it, I believe people really are good in their hearts and want to help others and be needed.

I think the most beautiful thing about anyone, is the confidence they hold in themselves.

The wind makes me grumpy and really don’t enjoy it one bit. 

My husband is one of the most generous people I know.  He gives so much of his time and love to us and others that I wish I had that selflessness, but most days don’t.

I’m just a terrible cook and can’t be creative for my life when it comes to food.  Boring!

Why is it that smokers have to take their break in front of office buildings and force non-smokers to walk right through their haze?

When I have twenty things to do, I’m much more productive than if I only have two.  Why is that?

I can hardly wait to move into our new home.  I’ve been driving by it more and more just to make sure it’s still there. 

I love that Facebook allows me to connect with family and friends that I don’t always get a chance to chat with.

I’m secretly counting down the days until school is out.  I just want the boys to have more free time and play outside.
