focusing-

having somewhat of a deep moment already this morning!

-last night- lounged in the living room w/Tim watching AFV (normally I HATE THIS SHOW) but I was thinking of a safety nap then scrapping but I was WIDE AWAKE so no nap afterall but we normally don't watch TV together unless its meal time... ANYWAY!!! on w/the deepness Kim! a few clips made me chuckle THEN there IT was! a series of Cat Clips. OMG I was laughing sooooooooooooo hard I was crying UNCONTROLLABLY! I was hysterical couldn't stop-everytime another cat clip came on later in the show I would laugh out loud & he'd go 'u r still laughing @ the other one aren't ya?' lol YUP sure was! he later commented that he hadn't heard me laugh like that in forever- I realized its b/c I haven't. all the house stuff, moving, remodel, setting up new child care, incoorporating the new w/the old bills, then the holiday spending-oye I think I might have been a bit stressed out the past 6 months or so LOL last night was so relaxing-good healthy guilt free belly laughing, so much so my ribs hurt today.

-yesterday- started my newest baby. Baby Wyatt is 6 weeks old! YIKES!! teeny tiny itty bitty WOW reminded me to SLOOOOOWWWWW DOOOOOWWWWWWWWN! hard to believe its only been 8 months since Lily was that little but I have forgotten it all... my arms are JELLO today from juggling them both all day but its so worth it!!! I will sleep so good this summer w/4 under a year!!! YIKES don't think about it.

-no ambition- hmmmm Gus had me up promptly @5 today but I still skipped my workout. its only 13 minutes total but I just CONSCIOUSLY decided NOT to work out. hmmmm wonder what's up w/that. I didn't think about why I was I just Didn't do it.

-mental growth spurts- everyone!! the little guys seem to have them right before their next birthday IMO I notice the most new stuff coming to the surface in that last 6 weeks b4 they turn. Adults - never noticed if there is a pattern but I certainly have been in a mental growth spurt for a while. from picking a word FOCUS and incoorporating it constantly. it sure has me slowing down mentally & really trying to soak up, share, & enjoy more. High Hopes I suppose.

-scrapping- so since I spent the evening on the couch I didn't get any scrapping done. I did LOOK @ a page I have laid out when I went ot my room to watch The Medium but I decided I need it on BLACK to pop so hoping to swing by Mom's tonight after lab night & trade some spargo for black pages. Also have been thinking about the book I offered to make for Jeff. each girl her own of her birthday, then just make new pages each year. Easy enough RIGHT? riiiiiiigghtttt . Maybe I will have them each current for him for Christmas. or Lyla's for her Birthday in October. then Katelyn's for hers in January. Those are good -doable- goals. Gotta flip thru photos & see if I have the ones I want for a LONG OVER DUE CIRCLE JOURNAL. T*O*D*A*Y!!!!!! even tho there won't be any scrapping tonight -lab night.

-childcare- had my first visit in the new house from the food program sponsor (Deb) yesterday. she was pleased w/the arrangement but my record keepign needs some fine tuning. In the old house I had a set routine here-not so much. Working on that today!

-multitasking- eek is it really less productive than we thought?? If I am not doing atleast 2 things @ a time, I am not feeling productive. even if I am sitting idle, watchign Tv or holding a baby, My mind is moving-racing @ times- to what needs done, what is done & what I can do next. Standing here typing this long drawn out -sorry!- post, I am watchign kids come in the door, answering questions about the day ahead, listening to The Wizard of Oz & thinking about breakfast (fried eggs w/a choice of bagel, toast or tortilla + hotchocolate or milk + Tator tots) am I really FOCUSing while multitasking so much?? hmmmmm something to think about!

OK APOLOGIZING again for making it so long winded (welcome to Tim's world hahaha)
Signing off -for now feeling well vented LOL
have a great day!

LOVE the idea of spreading out the girls albums. That makes it SOOOO much more manageable!

Keeping you in my thoughts. You got a lot going on in that head of yours and so much going on around you. Step back and breath when you can.

You are doing awesome - I RX you at least ONE funny movie or show per week - set aside some ME TIME to do NOTHING - NOTHING AT ALL NOT EVEN SCRAPPING - and not feel guilty about it. Consider meditation.
