The Grind

...it happened. Back to work, and quickly, I fall back into the daily grind. And I only work 3 days a week, and only part time at that, but the predicable pattern of my life is back, and I actually welcome it. Today was one of my days off...so we did some fun stuff, running to the market, walking to the park, and I even managed to get grandma joanie to come over and babysit so I could get my hair done. Hooray!

Something about knowing what to expect each day makes life ok, even thought it's not spontaneous or even overly exciting...it's definitely a life I enjoy living. I have even found some time to create my list of things I would like to do...make felt food for lil's kitchen (hopefully, some will be crafted from recycled wool sweaters...time will tell), train elliptically (got to buy that thing), craft some surprises for Lil's birthday (better start working on that)...now I just need to get by butt in the garage...

Speaking of assets, here's a photo that Lillian took of me the other day...of her Mommy's best feature...I do love my legs!


And here's what Lillian picked out to wear that same day...Pretty cute, huh? Got to love shorts when it's raining...babylegs did save the day!


Things are just moving along, at a pace I enjoy, without extraneous stress...I'm loving it...xo-ab

PS - Things with my grandma are great. Her children are rallying around her, she is feeling lifted by their energy and gaining back her sense of silly sassyness. It feels like the weigh I was carrying has been lifted, and I no longer cringe when my cell phone rings. Hopefully, we can find a fix to this situation that keeps things going in this direction, it looks pretty good!

PPS - only because it makes me laugh


PPPS - I never did this video, I swear, but I did have a crush on Eric when he was on Real World...I was young, what can I say.
