Daily Diary – July 1 2010

Something weird. Not sure I like it but I am not full of options anymore. Gotta go shooting.

Today was a good day. Hard but good day. I will give a happiness project update in a separate post. There was a stupid pedometer in our room that decided to have an alarm go off at 2 in the morning, waking us both up. Which, of course, meant the rest of the night was super hard. Nathaniel woke up nice and early at 5:30am. And he’s gotten really good at rummaging through the drawers.

While David plays with his legos.

And chases him around to kiss him.

And hugs him.

I swear, he loves his little brother so much.

I am 100% worn out. Tired. I plan to veg on the couch all night as I process and print 60 some photos for scrapping. I like having my photos printed. This way, when inspiration strikes, I don’t have to sit and find photos. I have some The Girls’ Papirie CHA work to do and some more coming next week. I love Margie’s designs so much that just looking at the paper makes me happy.

I am *very* slowly reading Lonesome Dove, our book club pick and then I have two more really long books to read. I might take a break in between and read something quick and fun. I think the problem really is just how tired I feel lately. Hard to focus. Feeling good, though. Strong, happy, thankful.

Note to Self:
I think I am going to skip this section for the month of July while I do the Happiness Project since it will be mostly about that, I imagine. If it turns out I have unrelated things to say I reserve the right to bring it back. 🙂

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I exercised this morning. It hurt like crazy for something so small but still i am proud of myself.
2. I am thankful for getting to work with papers and product I love. I wanted to be on a design team for a while a few years ago but then I had stopped applying and I am so picky about what product I love and the idea of working with something less than ideal just so I can be on a team is unappealing to me. So I am eternally grateful that I get to be on a team and work with products I love. I am not taking it for granted for a second.
3. I am grateful for my July project. It’s tough but it’s making me happier.

Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. reading the book with mommy.
2. doing math with mommy.
3. daddy.
