baby just not tired

The youngest member of the trio is a night hawk.  She really has no use for getting sleepy.  But when eleven thirty rolls around and 5 books have been read a couple of times each and she sees the look in her mothers eyes, then she points to the eyes, ear, hair, ear, eyes, eyes, eyes....something then clicks and she gives it up to visit dreamland.  Call me up in dreamland.  She rolled hard for 12 hours today.

swelly jelly belly

Watermelon is hands down the best jelly belly....what do you think?

fair is fair

The fair has arrived which signals the end of summer.  It means children going back to school is just around the corner.  It means that I can go and ride a ferris wheel at any time during the next four days.  It means that some moms are having their babies go off to college.  But what is fair is fair, we do the best we can and then maybe as they are leaving the house for their own adventure we all begin to reflect on what has happened.  I know I will do my best so that some day when the youngest member of our trio is ready to leave the nest I can say I was present and aware as good as I could have been.  Maybe that will make things easier.  

junk

I used to be a picker...I enjoyed auctions, yard sales, flea markets, estate sales.  My collection became quite vast...... I collected pottery, incense burners, gardening stuff, kitchen stuff, and well stuff.  Slowly but surely my stash of vintage finds dwindled wether I gave it away or sold it at flea market or lost it or had it stolen.  I have very few trinkets left, this is probally a good thing, that stuff had no real sentimental value.  But lately I think it is time to revisit this past addiction of mine......I am again on the search for the perfect pick.

self doubt

I have been experiencing some self doubt lately, so to write about it is difficult because I am convince that I am unable to do anything worthwhile lately.  I know this will pass and make way for some other little annoyance.  Some days I have great ideas and I think I can conquer it all, then the next day all of that seems rediculous.   I will turn my pretty head and walk away.

Funk #49

Joe Walsh put on an amazing rock show at the Steifel Theatre in my hometown on Friday night.  His vocals sounded good and his band was a really rockin....

humph

Another first, my sweet baby let someone unknown watch her for an hour!!  Her mom did pilates, not very well, but she hung in there for 45 minutes.  The nice girl told Scott that she was calling everyone there mama......and although I sent her with a sippy cup just in case she left with a different one marked with her name.   I guess that's how things roll at the YMCA kids gym.
