hard work, it really does pay off
my hubs is a can do kinda guy. he's not half assed. he gives everything he does his all.
i know two self made men. he is one.
in addition to having an amazingly strong work ethic - he also gets to do all kinds of
super cool shit.
he was given the opportunity to be the incident command trainee at the banner fire in julian.
that's right.
head honcho trainee. big cheese trainee. man in charge trainee.
strong work mora. us girls are super duper proud of you.
giraffe's
there is this blanket that hangs on a wall in a house that may one day be mine.
i never thought that blanket was particularly pretty. most certainly didn't think it belonged tacked upon the wall.
that is - until - yesterday.
i see it in a new light.
distancing myself
this was a conversation i had today.
other person; well. we all knew she wouldn't like anybody her son married.
me; well imagine my surprise when i found out she never did.
other person; well i knew she didn't like you.
me; speechless... (but here's what i wanted to say) *well fuck you very much*
some people apparently are missing a sensitivity chip. and apparently you still can't fix stupid.
volunteering - it feeds the soul
i volunteer. my husbands willingness to be a worker horse allows me quite a few perks.
this is one.
two days a week i surround myself with 15 - 6 & 7 year olds.
it teaches me patience, kindness, acceptance, love, accountability & responsibility.
it gives me the chance to be a kid again.
it allows me more time to bond with my daughter.
in addition i am learning to play chess, i know how to label library books, i'm more intune with the brain - thanks to my 45 minute brain power class, i am able to be more crafty in art & my favorite.... yoga w/ my first born.
every once in awhile i wonder how much longer she'll be into it. at what grade will it no longer be cool that her mom hangs out at school.
i'm just thankful for the time i'm given.
and i treasure little moments like these.
summers coming
it's almost here. i can smell it.
eclipse
it's experiences like this that really warm my heart.
found - a beautiful place
i took the day and concentrated.
concentrated on my beautiful place.
she was within arms length.

the little things
i love a good date night.
a spur of the moment, by the seat of your pants, adult night out.
we started by attending a wedding of a super friend.
he's just great. super funny, extremely talented, full of love, make you belly laugh kind of friend.
i love, love. and i've yet to attend a wedding i did not cry at.
after dabbing my eyes and making new friends we headed to the bay to see if we could score some tickets to DEVO.
and i was pleasantly surprised with front row tickets.
who doesn't love singing out loud to Whip It.
i also have a new favorite song. a little diddy called gates of steel...
thank you my love - for a fun filled, pre mama's day date.
yup that's me - devo energy dome and all...
beautiful places
this is me.
needing time.
to clear my head.
from angry texts.
mean emails.
peoples unsolicited advice.
preschool gossip.
family bullshit.
other peoples problems.
tomorrow i'm gonna take that time.
and go to a beautiful place.
and clear my head.
of all the bullshit...
