I've been considering what it means to be "in the moment", how to do that.
When you can really BE in the moment, and enjoy the actual being in the moment, without thinking any outside thoughts about what the other people might be thinking, or what you need to do after that moment, or all the shit in your life - when I am able to do that with my kids or my husband or simply with whatever task I am doing at the moment, it feels like real bliss.....so peaceful. Could this kind of living in the moment be sustained for longer and longer periods of time? If so.....wow. And how do you do that?
Thinking a lot this week about goals and life's direction.
Our kids are so amazing. With just a hug, or a kiss, or a kind word from me, I can make an owie feel better, a hurt go away, and a fear be gone. What an awesome priviledge. On the flip side, my words and actions can do damage to their little selves if I'm not careful. What an awesome responsibility. I wouldn't trade having them in my life for anything.
Had a great week with my husband. We rented Freaky Friday (wanted to stay away from anything with any emotional intensity at all!), and it was surprisingly cute. Got a little tense yesterday, for reasons I don't want to go into ANYMORE EVER AGAIN. But other than that, it was great. He works week-ends, and it sucks, but oh well. Did I mention it SUCKS?
Anyway, hope you all have a great week-end! It's going to be scary hot here, so I imagine there will be lots of water play in the backyard. Bye 'til next time

We haven't had our anniversary yet. It's definitely not going to be sad. We are going to have a fucking blast!
tiffanymarie:
Oh. Never thought about you meaning that anniversary! 
Yeah, I don't think we can afford to go to that Hotel. We're pretty broke right now. I tried saving some cash to help out but I had to fix my car and after that I had to pay off other bills. So I've been tryin' to catch up. Take care sweetie.
