"Life comes at you fast"

That would be the slogan for Nationwide , but I feel it practically every day.

Just when I think I get comfortable with something , BAM! ... change has to happen. There is always something new to learn and remember. There are always new choices to make. Most days I just feel like I have OVERLOAD on the brain.

My husband doesn't help in this department. He loves CHANGE and finding newer, bigger, and better things. I don't think a day goes by that he doesn't share with me something that he just discovered that I MUST try. Most of this has to do with the computer. Some days I enjoy this, but most of the time I just pretend to be captivated in the same way that he is. I suspect he sees right through this fakeness ... I am not good at pretending.

This weekend I am taking a break.

Today I am just going to hang out with some little girls at a playplace in town.

The computer is going to be shut down.

Tonight I will just read or maybe watch Nottinghill (recorded ).

Some days I just need to "be" and not feel pressured by all the gadgets, distractions, and "life comes at you fast" moments.

That is my plan ... I think.

Good luck on just "being"; sometimes that needed break begins with a decision to make it happen, and it sounds as if you decided that today would be the day for you. Hope the day is full of heavenly healing! God bless!

I hope you have had a peaceful and enjoyable day with your girls, {E}. Change is hard for me too and when I finally manage to make a change, I turn into the crazy second guesser. :)

Hope you had a nice, relaxing day. I think I need one of those. Life has been full of too much of 'this world' lately for me.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
