tuesday truths on a wednesday?

money sucks. not having money sucks even more.

debt sucks.

worry sucks.

fear sucks.

blue rodeo on the radio, bare feet out the window
cold diet coke in a can,
your kids running to the car to meet you even though
they are now 15 and almost 11,
your husband talking you down from your debt-fear-money-panicky-ledge...
these are good things...they make the bad less signifigant.

{and yes...i said concise...i did not say eloquent...heehee}

friday i'm love....


~with the kids having a no school day...which means
no lunches and early morning panic mode for me...

~with the warm temperatures we are having but the cool
wind accompanying it

~with this new show...it kills me...kills me.

~with accidentally wearing bright blue shoes with a pink
skirt and being told by random people that i can "pull it off",
that they didn't think twice about it, they thought i was just
be "eclectic" and "artistic"....heehee

~with the smell of woodsmoke in the air and how ten went
around last night trying to inhale "halloween"...

time is passing...

i feel time is flying by
and each day,
i find it harder and harder to get here.

i thought that when the weddings were done,
i would have time...
i thought that when the kids were back in school,
i would have time...
i thought that when the house was clean,
i would have time...

but the truth has just occured to me.

i need to make the time.

little bits of happiness on wednesday morning...


~a feeling of accomplishment, of energy, of getting things done...

~the new issue of Artful Blogging which i have been savoring and only
reading in snippets to make it's sweetness last just a little bit longer...

~the alice in wonderland soundtrack on the drive to and from work...
love that cd!

~sunset through rain clouds

~pre-ordering this book...now the sweet anticipation of waiting for it's arrival
