same old broken record....

january has kicked my ass.

the long drive,
working overtime,
a perpetually messy house.

bear with me.

i'll be back...

when i catch my second wind.

snapshot of my life....{without a photo}

outside my front door
sits two little seats...
today they are perched on my front door step
and look like movie theatre seats
turned just slightly to the right
for the best view
of the street.

{they once belonged to a ski boat}

every morning
i wake up and find them
in a different spot
but always together...
my boy takes them all over the yard
and sits with a friend
giggling over things
only a ten year old boy
could understand...

checking in...

3 minutes to bedtime
starting to feel like a routine
is finally being found,
trying to find a way to
incorporate
family time, work, kids' school routines,
90 minutes of driving everyday,
bill paying, laundry, sex,
favorite tv shows, reading,
dishes, meals, groceries
into one day...
not to mention
photography
{saw a picture perfect sunrise this morning,
but poor me...no camera in the car}
calling friends,
email, letters, updating etsy,
journalling
and
blogging...

sigh.

it will come...i just have to find my
rhythm...

friday i'm in love...

it feels wrong to be doing a friday i'm in love
when so many people have had their lives torn apart...

but it's at times like these
that i think it's important to be grateful...
to hold on a little tighter...
to make those connections last just a few seconds longer...
to be aware of your life.

so...today's friday i'm in love...

*finally getting a new-to-me vehicle and hoping that
it's not a lemon...{and loving that i have a cd player again
in the car...i have driving 45 minutes to work and back
in silence for the past month...just me and my thoughts.}

*a weekend with nothing planned...this is very much needed.

*the new greys anatomy last night...i still love that show.

*cuddling on the couch last night with S and the kids...
nachos and dip and cold diet coke for supper...
laid back sweetness.
