In my world

Every day we sit at the door until it is time to walk to the bus stop and pick up ALlisandria.  This day we happened to see quite a large moth up in the ceiling of the front porch.  It was a good couple inches long.  Greyson kept calling it an airplane, and Anabella was quite worried that it would fly in the house.  So I grabbed a photo of it before it disappeared.  

I put the covers on my machines to remind me that not every day needs to be filled with work.  I am reminded so many times that I need to stop and take time to admire the regular old things that happen in my day.  Someday I will regret not capturing a photo of what the places and people are like around me.

Organization....what's that? I do do it quite often, but as soon as orders set in its over.  Plus busy season is starting.  I will be glad when December comes and I can rest for a month.

Oh North.  You lazy mutt.  Yes he is quite comfortable catching some z's on a pile of "shred me" mail.  This dog will lay on anything that is on the ground.  A shoe, a back pack, a peice of paper, a pillow, a shirt.  He reminded me today that I need to get to that pile and shred.  I put Bella to work with me and we tackeled it.  North will need to find a new place to sleep now.

Slumber parties happen once a week on a friday or saturday.  We let the girls sleep out in the family room and we stay up watching a movie and eating homemade kettle corn.  Bella now asks every day lately if we can have a slumber party.  I always remind her that we will on friday or Saturday.  So now for her naps, the last couple of days, she has been having a slumber party on the floor in her room.  Whatever gets her napping every day, I'm game.

After she wakes she will usually find North and snuggle near him for a little while she is "waking up".

 I am so grateful for this machine right here.  My Crockpot.  I love not having to worry about dinner from time to time.  I can smell it through out the day and it warms my heart knowing that I can play a round of flash cards with my kids before it's time to eat.

Today was good.  Although feeling under the weather with a horrid cough, breaking the garage door, I still feel like a triumphed over something that has been bothering me a while.  I say and think all the time that soemthing has gotta give.  My life is filled to the max with "I gotta do this." and "Not right now, I am busy" and "I don't have time for this crap".  Today I set a goal of 1 hour of work, and the dishes can wait.  There was a need for a trip to the library, and some quality floor time with my kids.  Some good stories were shared with Anabella.  I introduced "Alice in Wonderland" to her tonight.  We read the book, then I remembered that the movie is on Netflix right now.  We started it before it was time for bed.  I love magical moments.  Especially when they involve me putting aside my busy life to cherish little moments of a regular day with my family.
