WORD.

A simple life in the Fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.

Proverbs 15:17

The Message

Hello, Summer.

My favorite maple tree is getting ready to pop with color, and it makes my heart happy.

As does an afternoon spent outside.

Hello, Summer, in the later of our Winter.

We're so glad to see you.

Ten on Ten:: March 2012

Ten on Ten

Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. 

Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments. 

Good morning, love. Why yes, I'll have a cup.

Breakfast in Durham for some of the tastiest cinnamon rolls around.

Then on to work...massages for a few today.

Trying to suppress that cough...

Ella being reprimanded at lunchtime...trying to act like she doesn't know what we're talking about. 

Cleaning Ella's room...the happy bunting I made this week. 

Ella says it's a "surprise up high" for her.  Melt me.

I need to clean out our garage...maybe next weekend.

Happy Hour hour in the sun.

Pip-squeaks by Crayola...more happiness.

I'm currently on an in house date with two Bruces.

All is quiet now except for a little harmonica.

A perfect ending to the 10th.

How was your day?

Random with a Side of Coughing.

After spending three days in bed, I decided I couldn't be sick any more.
I mean, I had already spent most of those days coughing like I've never coughed before. Aching like I have never ached before. Everything hurt...including my hair.
So I cooked up a batch of warm chocolate pudding, and declared myself better.

Then, I went back to bed for two more days.

Bruce was on a business trip for part of the time. I hate it when he leaves but I really hate it when he leaves and I'm sick.

Skype saved the day. 30 minutes of Daddy listening to her "read" and the love tank, and behavior tank were changed for the rest of the day.

Dishes...they still need to be done when you are sick. Praise Him all of us for dishwashers.

Coughing...still coughing....

Chicken noodle soup, anyone?

I am on my way to feeling much better. In fact, I made it over to Meg's Craft House yesterday to sew some bunting for my girls' rooms. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but bunting is the secret to getting over the crud. Happiness...I'll show you tomorrow.

Today is silly sock day at daycare.
Purple tie dyed soccer socks with a skirt.
And cowgirl boots.

Silly sock day...the freedom to express yourself in your sock choice. Party on.
Ten on Ten tomorrow.
{Cough. Cough.}
Happy Weekend, friends.

Sick.

It's the 29th of February and I am sick.
Sick as in, "Every muscle in my ding-dang body hurts."
And no, I didn't get the flu shot.
I never do, do you?
Well, you were the smart one this year.
The only thing that seems to make me feel better today is ice cream.
I happen to have Schwan's Sweet and Salty, and I am happily partaking. Over and over and over again.

I've been working on putting together photo books and found this picture.
Where did these little bodies go?

Okay, I need to crawl back into bed now.

Like Kathleen Kelly when Joe Fox comes to bring her the daisies, I'm feeling a little "fuzzy".
