Outside my window...rain, cars. Seems to be a trend in these parts...

I am thinking...that I need to get in the shower. And eat breakfast. (2 cups of coffee does not a breakfast make.)

I am thankful for...family and friends.

I am wearing...mismatched pajamas and my robe. I'm freezing.

I am remembering...to take a deep breath and slow down.

I am going...to the Seattle Dog Show to spend time with my family.

I am currently reading...Look Me in The Eyes by John Robison Elder. Fantastic!

I am hoping...that I get some time to knit tonight.

On my mind...laundry. dishes. scrubbing the toilets (ew.)

Noticing that...Eamon is making more and more complicated "starships" out of his legos. I need to buy him more.

Pondering these words..."Mommy, watch this!"

From the kitchen...Costco pizza, Costco lasagna, Costco garlic bread. I'm being very lazy. But I'm feeding 8 people this weekend, so it's allowed.

Around the house...are little piles of clutter that are slooooooowly being put away.

One of my favorite things...Eamon's ability to entertain himself with crazy-fun games involving race cars, starships, R2D2, and his new Hex Bugs. He's all boy.

6 January 2010

Outside my window... rain, cars, a loud gunshot? (I swear I live in a nice neighborhood...oooh, there it was again!)

I am thinking... that it's been awhile since I found a spider in the house...that means Bigfoot's cousin is coming to visit soon, I'm sure.

I am thankful for... knitting--forcing me to slow down, take a deep breath, and concentrate on each individual stitch.

I am wearing... pink pajamas, no socks (which is very strange for me.)

I am remembering... the reasons why I wanted to become a stay at home mom.

I am going... to a special Mom's Night Out in a couple of weeks.

I am currently reading... the Frederick's catalogue. Oooh la la!

I am hoping... that the locking bin I bought today will keep Cashew out of my yarn. If I have to untangle one more skein of yarn I will maim her. Damn cat!

On my mind... that I need to be more patient with Eamon.

Noticing that... the damn cat won't stop talking. Loudly. In the echo-y stairwell. (Yes, echo-y is a word. I made it up.)

Pondering these words... "I bring the sun wherever I go. So you don't have to be sad Mommy, because the sun is stuck to me."

From the kitchen... a perfectly medium well steak, sauteed kale, and Gooey Cocoa Brownies. Plus Honey Oatmeal Muffins for breakfast.

Around the house... laundry is almost caught-up! The kitchen is clean but for a few dishes for in the morning.

One of my favorite things... the way Fini "sleep nurses," as if he's dreaming of eating. The way Eamon talks in his sleep. Random words and (sometimes a little creepy) laughs.

Back For Now

I'm feeling less like I'm being pulled in a million directions and more like a normal human being. (I almost typed "bean" instead of "being." Haha!) My blogging might be more daybooks for awhile, so bear with me.

Outside my window... is our somewhat busy street. It's cold, and night.

I am thinking... about my sewing machine and half-finished project.

I am thankful for... a sleepy babe, good friends, and chocolate cake.

I am wearing... jeans, tank top, t-shirt, and cardigan. Same as most days! :O)

I am remembering... last night. I *might* have been a bit tipsy with my girlfriends. It was a fun night!

I am going... to live more in the moment and less in the past, or future.

I am currently reading... Expressive Photography

I am hoping... to come to terms with my age.

On my mind... my 29th birthday (eek!) tomorrow.

Noticing that... I'm fighting my age.

Pondering these words... that I will "find myself" in my thirties. I certainly hope so, because I have felt lost for quite awhile.

From the kitchen... Chocolate Cake

Around the house... I'm moving everything around...again.

One of my favorite things... the peaceful look on my boys' faces when they're sleeping.
