friday night

thus far this blog has not been what i had intended, and hoped for it to be. for one i didn't intend to sound so negative. things are pretty great in my life - my marriage is strong, i am very much in love with my best friend, who happens to be my husband, i have four healthy beautiful children that i am blessed to be able to stay home with and homeschool them, and i live in a wonderufl country. but i think maybe that the problems is i come to write and always seem to get , what is that thing...oh yes, writers block. planning out ahead of time seems to defeat the purpose of blogging...but i had wanted this to be so much more....one of those inspiring homemade toys and organic food sort of mommy blogs. ha. if there is even a single soul out there who has read this, i just want to say hi. that is all.

I figure that if I just come here often enough I will eventually have something meaningful to say.
Today was good. Had a pretty good school day with the kids amids the mess of the kitchen renos. We had fun learning about joints and listened to a l0t 0f Christmas music.
hmm Christmas.

any shiney surface

baby on the lap

funny how you can become good at something as long as you do it often enough...practice practice practice. Typing and nursing is my newest talent.

Advent began yesterday. What a wonderful time of year this is! But how utterly overwhelmed I am feeling today. The kitchen is covered in fresh drywall. It has been an ongoing project for going on 2 years now! I am thankful for every bit that gets done , and all the people that have helped, but the complete upheaval it brings to our house is, well, draining. All I really want to be doing today is blasting the Nutcracker music and dancing around with my daughter.
You know when there is just so much to do you feel best doing nothing...or is that just me.
So here I am, sitting down at the computer to write to no one, during the precious time that the baby is asleep and I should really be somewhere else....

why....really, why?

I walked around my house thinking I'm half crazy, constantly talking to myself about whatever and what not. Always an opinion on everything. so blog. okay. blog.
but now that it is here in front of my I don't know what to write.
has my life become less interesting in the past week.
or am I just a little less crazy?

it must be fall.

the fruit flies are gone.
we are back into school.
the air is fresh.

it must be fall.

and so with fall comes

new running shoes for the kids.
fresh harvest veggies.
