It's been a while and I had a 'moment' today that reminded me I need to make time again to record some of life's moments.
1. I was looking over the boys' Christmas list. Sam's list was pretty exciting and lengthy. The one item that cracked me up and reminded me he's Cowan thru-and-thru was the "hot fudge" request.
2. Spencer announced he wants to join the ski club. Ben questioned the money factor. I reminded him confidence building experiences are worth every penny. He agrees.
3. I asked Alex what book he got at the library today. "It's a non-fiction book. That means it's not real." I love public schools...I've slacked as a parent the past year and am glad someone else is teaching him how to read! ;) He's loving it.
4. Girls are darling. Darling. Darling. Such good little babies and I love the time when the boys are at school and the three of us chat without any background noise. Claire is just sweet and edible. Grace is just ooey-gooey edible.
5. Ben is feeling that Target stress that comes every-so-often. I also believe he still deals with some after-affects from the Lyme Disease. He doesn't seem to be feeling well lately.
6. I still don't accomplish much with the girly girls but at least I'm feeling a little more organized in what life requires of me. Spent some time doing a dinner and cleaning calendar for November...always makes me feel a little more 'on-top' of things if I have some kind of organization to my life. (Even if I don't get a chance to make dinner or clean! At least I had a plan! ;)
7. Tomorrow is my birthday. My gift to myself: a nap. I hope the girls have the same plan! I remember last year's birthday well...I had been sick and for 3 weeks had just wanted California Pizza Kitchen. We went there for dinner that night. It smelled good when we walked in but I couldn't eat a single bite of it. What a year it's been.
8. I am reminded often how much Mom did for us while she was here. I unpacked a box last week and once again appreciated her neat and organized moving skills. This particular box was one of many she tackled one day while I was at the dr. for a few hours...I remember returning home and being so grateful. I'm still so grateful.
9. Parent-teacher conference for Sam tonight. It's the conference I'm always glad to go to. I'm never quite sure how Mr. Sam is doing with his work. He's doing great.
10. Started my on-line Christmas shopping tonight. If I can't get it at Target it will be purchased on-line. I avoid shopping now more then ever!
I guess that's it for tonight. I'm off to bed...
