So here’s a little sneak of what ended up being my totally random side project for the weekend for no reason. I will be crossing off one of the items in my 52 Things list eventually so I spose it’s not so bad. I also signed up for a new workshop. I seem to be all into embroidery lately so it seemed awfully fitting.
Other than my little project, I got nothing done today. I read maybe 10 pages of my book before I fell asleep. I played with my kids. We went to the park. We watched TV. That’s about it. Unproductive but relaxing.
I love that little piece of hair sticking up. It makes me think of Tintin and it makes me want to hug him nonstop.
And here are two Jake took of us. I absolutely hate the way I look of course but I love that it’s a photo of the two of us. (More on this coming tomorrow for my WG post.)
I love love love this boy. I can never get enough of that baby smell and I can never kiss him enough.
Long weekend gone. But it’s a short week and I am not on release this week. Yey!
Thank you for your kind wishes and thoughts. My grandmother is still in ICU and in critical condition. I am thinking of her nonstop.
Note to Self:
I follow a few people on formspring and one of the questions I read today was about confidence. The person who replied said that she thinks “confidence means being really comfortable in your own skin” and I totally agree. This is something I’ve been striving for, for as long as I can remember. Feeling good about who I am. Not that I don’t want to improve or that I don’t get worried now and then but to have a general good sense about myself and to feel good in my own skin is definitely a major goal of mine. Not exactly sure how to achieve it. What are the steps to this kind of a goal?
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I’m grateful that I’ve had a low-key weekend. Sometimes it’s good to do something completely random and not on my list.
2. I am grateful that the days are getting longer. I love that and the warmer weather.
3. I am grateful for markers and coloring books. David loves them so much, he can color for hours and hours. It’s amazing to watch and I love the quiet time.
i don’t think ‘i got nothing done’ and ‘played with my kids’ fit together – playing with the kids is definately getting something important done in my book
Spending time with your kids is paramount – it’s HUGE. Looking back you will be glad for every moment you stopped and took them to the park, listened to them talk (really listened) or colored together. I am sending good thoughts to you and your grandma. I heard yesterday that a former colleague of mine, a wonderful, giving woman, suffered a fatal heart attack over the weekend. It’s hard to stop thinking about, hard to imagine that life goes on anyway.
I think you look great – like a beautiful happy mother of a beautiful happy boy! 🙂
girl, you are Crazy not to like these photos. You are beautiful! Just look at the love between you and your son. I guarantee you, in 20 years, you will look back on these and just weep with the joy and remembrance. Print these out and frame them. TODAY!!!
