The rain outside the window wasn’t a reminder,
Of six months of pain and uncertainty.
Of fear, bottled up emotions and tears.For a moment,
We we were able to replace that history,
With a comfortable present.
A present combined with old friends,
Good food, and laughter.For a moment,

Bathroom Graffiti #6
My favorite part of this shared thought, was the comment added at the bottom, complete with hash tag, as if these posts were on an electronic wall and not the interior of a women’s restroom stall at a big box grocery multi purpose shopping store.

“All girls are
beautiful in
their own way
some girls just
don’t know how pretty
they are till they find
a man that tells
them how beautiful
they really are
[heart] me”

I didn’t write it, just passin’ it on…
Bathroom Graffiti #3
There was definite theme to the messages in this public restroom stall.
A Pep Talk that everyone woman, This One Included, needs every now and then.
It’s not the place I expected to find it, but since I did, figured I’d pass it on.

Bathroom Graffiti #2
I didn’t write this, and don’t condone vandalism, but since it was there, I read it, and am giving it a wider audience a la Tumblr.
Bathroom Graffiti #1
I didn’t write it, but thought the message was too good to leave in the stall.
Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

my day in a nutshell
This morning I made pancakes from scratch, with my more than happy to help youngest son, who requested them.
Made sausage and scrambled eggs too.
Didn’t burn the toast.
Did a bunch of dishes.
Did more dishes.
Finished reading a library book that was due back to the library on Wednesday.
Oops.
Made a pot ‘o coffee because at 10:00 a.m. I was so tired I wanted to take a nap.
Made lunch.
Did the dishes.
Children went to play at their friend’s house.
Strategized with my husband on what gifts were for which boy and whether they were from Santa or us.
Wrapped Christmas presents.
Played a little Plants vs. Zombies.
Time to make supper.
And do more @&$#%^*+ dishes.
Put one load if laundry in earlier.
Should move that around too.
Will be chaperoning while my children and another 4-H family ring the bell for Salvation Army later this evening.
Should have gotten groceries.
Should have gone to the bank.
Should have returned that library book to pay less in late fees.
Did what I could.
Even if it wasn’t a super duper lot.
Happy Saturday!
Did you do anything fun?

i have been living less this time
i have been dying more to know…
