post-it-ology 101 {nablopomo day 8}



a post it a day...
a drawing a day...
a doodle, a scribble
a capture of a moment
by way of ink,
by way of pen,
a glimpse into my pscyhe
at that very moment in time...
with no pre-planning
no fixing or editing...
free flow thought...
a moment in space,
in the continuum of my life
on a post it...
and posted here
on saturdays...
welcome to post-it-ology 101...
{it may not always be pretty,
but it will always be me...}

friday i'm in love {nablopomo day 7}

with...

~the fact that after tomorrow, i have 4 whole days off...

~the fact that on those 4 days off, laundry and cleaning
will already have been done...so i have those 4 days
for other things...
picture taking, fimo playing, card creating...

~strawberry and cream flavored chupa chup suckers

~nine taking 20.00 for a book fair at school
and giving 12.00 of it to his friend who had no money...
{although, i do fear his niceness
may be taken advantage of sometimes...but how do
you control that...without saying "don't give"}

~fantastic images created by this amazing girl...

5 really good things on a wednesday {nablopomo day 5...}

~change...hope...enthusiasm

~a pleasant parent teacher interview with 9's teachers...
who really seem to "get" him...they know he is unorganized
and yet focused so much on his positives...they even make
his disorganization seem like a positive in the fact
that he is so easy going...yet at the same time, helped
us develop an "action plan" to help him organize himself.

~taking the garbage out at 7 am only to meet up with
a neighbor full of compliments about the house color

~vanilla scented candles lit at daybreak while writing
morning pages

~2 loads of laundry done before 8:30 am

5 truths...mixed with some knitting {nablopomo day 4}




~i suspect that bananas are giving me headaches...
has anyone else ran into this? since i started the
weight loss thing, i was eating 2 bananas a day
and started getting headaches every 2nd day...
i looked it up and it said there is a chemical in bananas
that is also in alcohol and when i drink {which is rarely}
i always get a major headache the next day...hmmmmm
{and i'm not dehydrated, everyone always says that,
but i'm not...or defensive either} heehee

~i secretly don't care that much about the weight loss...
i mean i do, but...i just have more important things
to do than spend hours worrying about whether or
not my exercise is going to counterbalance my calories...
i can't {and don't want to} live like that...i still want to
eat healthy/get exercise but i don't want to be
annoying myself {and family} by becoming fanatical.

~i am nervous about 9's upcoming camping trip with cubs...
i think because i project so much of myself onto my kids,
of what i was at that age...and i would never make it
through a two night winter camping trip, that i just
can't get past the fact that he might...he just might,
if only i could force myself to believe in him...
and let go a little...but it's hard...the letting go.

~i realize i need to get up earlier.

~i want so much to happen in my life...
that sometimes i feel maybe i am a little crazy...
other people seem content..why do i feel like
a whirlwind of planning, listing, pushing, learning,
wanting/needing to know more...
but at the same time...heh...i like me....
just like i am...
