Daily Diary – May 11 2011

I must admit that writing these at the end of the day is harder because by around this time I feel worn out and my perpective on the day is paler than usual. However tired I might feel at this moment, today was a wonderful day. It was flower-day at school so we picked some flowers and made a cute little bouquet for David’s teacher which David took to school.

After David left for school, I exercised and then sketched for a little bit and then it was time to pick up my friend Caroline who happens to be in town for a day. She came back here and we chatted and hung out until it was time to pick up David. We picked him up and then I dropped off Caroline and came back home where David showed me his bookmark and “earth” (which is mostly covered with water, he tells me.)

Then I got a smile.

The little one has been obsessed with coloring at the table lately. Which would be just fine if he didn’t color with one color for a second before the said “done” and threw it on the floor. Again. Again. Again and again. One can quickly get tired of that game.

Now I am going to go take my walk with David and then it’s time to journal and do my leg exercises so I can go to book club. Hectic day. Tomorrow will be too but then I will have a quiet Friday and weekend. All the days are lovely in their own ways and challenging too. I am just thankful I get to pause a bit and take time for myself each day a bit. And be with my kids. And do work I love.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I spent the day with Caroline. She’s quite awesome and I am so thankful to have her as a friend.
2. I am grateful that I made a nutritionist appointment for next week.
3. I am grateful that I decided to take a few days off work. I need to rest a bit.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful we finished our book. {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful Mommy and I took a walk.
3. I am grateful that I start a Junie B book tomorrow.
