Daily Diary – August 5 2010

I’ve been a bit remiss in taking photos lately. I find myself even more distracted and frazzled than usual. I am trying to work and get things done but I am also noticing that my focus is not fully there. I am still pretty tired from all the garage work. Nathaniel is getting up early and I am not sleeping well. So I’ve been short and impatient. If it sounds like I’m complaining, I am not. Just trying to pay attention to what’s going on so I can be more present.

Nathaniel’s been doing well, though. He loves playing with David’s toys. Especially the noisy ones.

And the legos that fall off the table.

For lunch today, I decided we all deserved to snack outside so we grabbed some cheese, blueberries, and graham crackers and just enjoyed ourselves.

then i asked David if I could snap some photos of him. I got this sort-of smiling face.

And this funny one.

Feels like a long day today. I think I am going to read David’s book for a bit (I bought him a book that will help us teach him how to read.) and I will read my novel and then off to bed. I hope you are doing well and thank you so so so much for the kind, generous comments you’ve left for me. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. Truly truly. Bless you.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for the opportunity to create a bit today.
2. I am grateful for the kindness and support everyone’s been pouring here and on FB. I am a programmer and i always dream of being an artist but i am always full of self-doubt so every little kind word is huge huge encouragement to me. I am so grateful for it.
3. I am grateful that the last piece of furniture we need for the garage is coming so I can be completely done with that project. It already feels wonderful, and once I am done with this bit, it will feel amazing.

Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. doing somersaults in the living room (I should have photographed that, eh?)
2. playing with my legos!
3. daddy.
