Outside my window...the grape vine is in full growth surrounding our back porch and our pear tree is bearing fruit.
I am thinking...way too much! September is always intense at work, plus transitioning back into meal planning, daycare pickup and a fitness routine the works with these...my mind is a whirlwind.
I am thankful for journals and lists, and nighttime when Marc is putting Kai to sleep and I have a few minutes of quiet.
From the kitchen...a full freezer including muffins and cookies to thaw out on the go, and an empty fridge until my weekly shop later today.
I am wearing...the usual when I finally have time to sit down and write. I tend to slip into sweatpants and a tshirt on weekend morning and weekday evenings.
I am creating...nothing particularly inspiring right now, sadly. Mostly schedules and plans to help me find pockets of peace in a crazy month.
I am going...to KidsBooks today! Yes, I am going for work, but without doubt I will get a book for Kai and maybe another as books are to me like coffee is to others.
I am reading...cookbooks, school worksheets, notes and textbooks, and Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton. Quite good.
I am hoping...every day I can find just a few minutes to write, daydream, or plan something fun. (And that one day, I return to adding pictures to this list.)
I am hearing...how important it is for me to spend time just being.
Around the house...for once, it seems almost everything is where it needs to be, with the exception of laundry waiting to be folded, but I like doing that. Not everything is perfect, but I am feeling pretty good about it! How novel.
One of my favourite things...is getting up early, feeling totally rested and the house is quiet for a good half-hour. Luxurious.
A few plans for the rest of the week...a good run or workout (maybe two?), Kai's first hip hop class, Sarah McLaghlan concert on Saturday and Carrie's baby shower on Sunday.
