Vida. Risa. Amor.

I did another new thing tonight...not a big deal thing, really, but I don't think I have ever lay down on my back on my driveway at night before.  I find it's fun to be random once in a while.  I even baked a pie yesterday.  It must be October.

But it felt good to just listen to the trees swaying in the breeze....the raindrops on my face....the thunder...the lightning clouds...the sidewalk warming my back...the quiet.  I realized I haven't had much of that lately.  It's true what they say, "7 days without rest makes one weak".  (cheesy, but true).

So I soaked up my brief moment of silence as long as I could while trying to ignore the sounds of my boys jumping off the couches inside.  I couldn't figure out what bothered me more:  that I couldn't figure out how to put words to the thoughts floating around my head, or that I might not actually be able to keep up with the busyness of life right now.  I reread my previous blog and bored myself again with this past week's crazy schedule.  I guess I said "roof" twice in the same sentence too.

But I've come to the simple conclusion that I don't think I need to feel like I have to figure out everything right now.  It's Saturday anyway. 

My Dad has always been good for some words of wisdom for me.  A couple of things he sometimes tells me is to "Keep the main thing, mainly the main thing.", and "just do one thing at a time....you can worry about the rest later".  So, my main thing is making sure I'm being the right kind of Mom to each of my kids, and wife to my husband every day.  Sounds simple written down...and I'll admit it's not always easy all the time. 

But one thing I really should do right now is get both Rylan and the toothpaste out of the bathroom sink...and worry about this blog later...
