Simple play

I love to see my kids engaged in simple play.  Today they are looking through books and dancing to music on the toy CD player.  It makes me happy to see them using their imagination to tell stories even though they cannot read and use their bodies to dance even though they have no formal lessons.  Beautiful!

Cruising along

There is something to be said for boring.  Right now life can be considered pretty boring, no dramatic ups and no tramatic downs....just cruising along.  I kind of like boring.  To me boring means that I am finally getting the hang of being a working mom with 2 preschoolers and a husband that works a lot.  I've had to let go of a lot of things and I still freak out sometimes, but for the most part life is pretty boring....and I couldn't be happier!

Motivation...please come to me

Usually I am gung-ho about Christmas shopping.  I know what I want to buy for people, go online and buy it.  I am usually done with shopping by now.  The Fex Ex and UPS guys should be visiting my house repeatedly by now. 

This year I am at a loss.  I don't know what to get people.  I look forever to try to find something I think people will want and have no luck.  Really I just wish I could buy everyone an amazon gift certificate and call it done, but that doesn't work.  I don't know why I am feeling like this.  I need to get myself in the spirit so that I can enjoy the Christmas season when it comes.

Bah!
