Maybe it’s because January is officially over. Or getting taxes off my plate. But this week was rolling in possibility and promise. I started spring cleaning and restructuring. I have been motivated and I’m a woman on the verge. I have plans, which soothes me.
This may be the weakest of the project. Wow. I REALLY hope it’s the weakest. It a good idea and I learned quite a bit, but it’s nothing I would write home about. And I seriously debated even using it. But I would feel worse not having a picture than a bad one. All light painting (this is why I never tried art classes) and, very technically, it’s a self-portrait. ‘Cause in all that black is me.
Daffodils! Daffodils! If there’s a frost that kills them I will be so angry. There’s a hill not far from my house that will be carpeted in them in the early spring. Taking care of yard work and discovery of these made my week. And, of course, that was part of Josh’s plan…
My commentary of on the real estate market. I pass these almost every morning and have mini dialogues between them in my head. This is such a fertile ground for humor. Make me laugh. Share your caption ideas in the comments.
I don’t know what’s up with the hands. They all seem to go through this phase of covering their smiles and laughter. Holli a bit younger than the older two, as she has been taught by them. I hope George doesn’t catch it anytime soon…
You can still see the laughter in her eyes.
I usually only get a couple of frames with Josh. This was the one and only that day. In fact, except for the light painting image, all my 365 pics have taken about 15 minutes of my day to take it, and about 5 minutes in post. Maybe I should be setting more of my time aside each day, but I have also been pushing more into my day in other areas.
And I’m learning to be okay with his new haircut and curl loss. We’ve been sprucing him up for the training meetings this week.
Rain…we are so done. I know you bring flowers and whatnot in the Spring, but the current deluge seems a bit of an overkill. Please move on.
It was a long exhausting day. The herd has been pretty well-behaved considering. We went to the mall again for the second time in a month. Holli asked what the mall was. I’m pretty happy she didn’t know. I would be even more thrilled if she forgot.
I’m have a hatred of malls and shopping in general. But to make my husband, family and friends happy, I did finally purchase some clothes that fit me. It was weird to be comfortable. If but for the fact I would have to shop more, I would be all over having more things I didn’t mind seeing in a mirror.
It’s all part of the vast “Sue Self Improvement” program we have going on.
And it’s now Sunday. Our day to hang out and wait for the calls from family. I’m not always the biggest fan of technology, but it’s enabled my kids to get to know family. And for that, I am grateful.
One week left to vote on last month’s images! There is currently a tie between two. Someone make my life easier and break it. Please.
There’s parent/teacher conferences to look forward to this week, as well as Josh going to Atlanta. I’m trying not to build up drama for a week that hasn’t happened yet.
I have the hints of spring I keep seeing firmly set in my thoughts.
Twitter me (revel in the minute to minute),
Flickr me (there’s always more pictures there),
Facebook Fan me (validation rocks)….
