Up with the sun-
Happenings before lunch-

The pile of stuff I put on the kitchen island....so Danny won't forget them.
If I'm not going into work with Danny- I stand at the garage and wave good-bye, even when we are apart for a few hours...I miss him. (sappy, silly, sorry...=)
Daily reading and pills.
Chores-
Pretty much everyday I-
-
Pick up from the night before.
-
make my bed
-
dishes
-
sweep
-
follow my 5 minute rule- do something quick in each room...it's pretty easy to spot clean a bathroom in 5 min {...we are empty Nester's so we don't always use all our home.}
Visited with Mason before his first day at his new job, he seemed excited. I know he will do well....one talent Mason has is that he is always happy, and he sees the good in everyone.
He sits this way when we talk....and his foot is always tapping....is that a good thing? =)
Did some laundry
received a tip....
Tried to do something with my hair-
Checking my email and working on my blog-
-Lunch from our garden-
After Lunch
Put on my green shoes and headed for the garden- Lovely outfit....don't you think?
Worked in the garden for a few hours.
Get to visit this temperature or higher many times a day... Oh the joy of being a woman of a certain age. {highest I've hit 105...it's like a game....ha-ha, what's your score?}
texting & phone calls..... Tried to have a conversation with one of our Spanish sisters on the phone....she knows as much English as I know Spanish....I found myself talking slower and louder....what's up with that? Truly sorry about that.
All this week I will be documenting the imperfect "normalness" of my life- got the idea from here and Shannon
Why do this?- this quote says it best.
From Anna Quindlen:
"....but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting done a little less."
I hurried way too fast through life while the children were growing - I can't bring those moments back ...... but I can be better today.
{I didn't drive once today.... which is so weird; it really was a pretty quiet day.}
