Wow. I haven't been to my blog in almost a year (tomorrow will be a year in fact). typepad has changed, the format has changed. I have changed. (and boy oh boy does my blog header need to be changed! Fall 2008 - REALLY?)
I miss writing. I miss documenting what is happening in our life. Things have been crazy, and it definately hasn't been the best weekend. I am doing my best to try and focus on the positive, to be thankful and greatful, I tell you. somedays it's hard.
I am loving facebook, it's new for me in the last year, and I've connected with so many friends, but what I don't like is that I can't recap everything in three sentences, nor do I want to. I can't always say on "facebook" how horrible of a day it's been, or celebrate every victory or accomplishment for our little family, there just aren't enough words, and honestly, not everyone cares.
I had originally started this blog to stay connected. Now I think the purpose of it will be to just records my private thoughts, whether anyone reads it or not doesn't matter anymore. Life is a series of struggles and accomplishments. I want to celebrate and grow from them both. I'm working really hard to live simply, and that by itself is difficult. Because I'm not a simple person, never have been. so..in bullet point, list style, here is my top 10 good/bad things from Father's day weekend:
- The weather was terrible, and made everything seem so much worse.
- I did not see my dad on Father's Day. That was unfortunate.
- My husband may have the flu, he's really sick, and it ruined his day.
- My mom's birthday didn't turn out the way I planned/thought it would.
- It was nice to have some unscheduled time, we need to do that more often.
- I'm dreading paying bills today that I've been puttin off. but I have to.
- I was happy to take some special pictures of my mom to document her 59th birthday.
- I am really looking forward to having tomorrow off of work.
- I need to edit the rest of the play pictures, I need motivaton to do that, I don't have it today. I don't even know if I'll have it this week.
- I need the sun. desperately.
Okay. well. baby steps. see you tomorrow. (by the way, it was neat to read what I had bullet pointed a year ago, diffrent thoughts, and as I read it, I remember all of it. that's the point right?) :)
