Preparing for Spring

Yes, I am nesting. The house is as clean as it ever gets, I am compulsively labeling, painting and working my way through household chores. I am excited about getting my garden for spring. I love organic and home-grown vegetables and flowers, but I have to reign it in a bit. If you like gardening, check out Heirloom Acres Seeds

Change!

New years are always about change - 2009 more so than most. As our shiny New Year's Resolutions begin to tarnish, we are still being called to better ourselves with the focus on the changes in civil rights and the presidency and without a strong economy to help us spend away our introspection. However, with all the fog outside my window this morning, things are just a little too serious for me. Instead, I am going to thnk about change in terms of that which is in my pockets, sofa cushions, and bottom of my purse.

January 19th - Resolutions for the day -
Clean the house and find enough change for a latte(Optimistic for Starbucks, maybe, but I haven't cleaned my office in awhile)
Change the order of meals and have breakfast for dinner

That should take care of the gloom. The world-changing resolutions will have to wait until tomorrow.

Two Kids Under Two

I never thought I would have kids.
I didn't particularly like them and as the oldest of a large family, I well know how much work they are.

Life happens, however, and the decisions that I made in the past for my future stopped making sense once I got there. Somehow along the way, two kids under two(heck under 1 1/2) sounded like a fabulous idea. Do I regret it? No way. If I ever stop moving, or even slow down, I feel that life is passing me by. Yes, I am crazy like that. But, oh so much fun.

Today somewhere between chasing my first child, feeling the baby kick the heck out of me, and weeding the yard, it finally dawned on me just how much "living" I will be doing very, very soon. I could freak out or I could have a mocha. I am going for the mocha.
