Today I might fly again.

I’ve been struggling to recover, still.  It seems like it’s taking a pretty significant amount of time to catch my breath this time.  I’m trying to be gentle and patient with myself.

I think I’m sort of in an energy crisis at the moment.  Perhaps a little bit of a winter-time blues… Most of my day I’m at a good level, and some parts of my day are just low and tired.  I want to sit and be still and NOT think.

But today, I’m setting my mind to being proactive.  I am going to do all of the laundry again, and since it’s been two weeks (I gave myself last weekend off), I figure it’s about time to start getting on top of the chores again.  The kids have been with us all week, so there’s more to be done, anyway.  Might as well have clean clothes for them for the rest of the week, right?

So, today I am doing laundry.  And we’re going to make (well, Landon’s doing most of the ‘making’ part)  a large batch of butternut bisque to take to a dinner party tonight.   I loooove butternut bisque!  The kids don’t particularly like it, apparently, but I’m guessing they were just being strong-willed.  They’ll get over that.  I’m amazed at how strong-willed these kids are.  I always thought *I* was a strong-willed kid, but thinking back to how I was compared to how they are, I was really just a pansy.  Hee hee!

I’m eager for our trip up the mountain to visit some friends.  I’m excited for the kids to have other kids to play with, and it’ll be nice to get some desperately needed social time for myself and Landon.  I love to meet new friends and am reminded that I should surround myself with people I want to be like.  I’m guessing there will be plenty of people like that at this party.  It’s kind of interesting to look back at my young adult-hood parties and the 19-23ish age and compare the sorts of parties I attended then compared with the ones I attend now.  Growing up is a funny thing.  I’d recommend it to anyone ready for that sort of thing.   *grin*

These kids are absolutely a trip.  I learn more and more about myself as I watch them learn and grow.  Also, I’ve learned to practice an incredible amount of patience having them in my regular daily experience.  Having a family of my own is totally an experience, too.  Never would have thought it would change things so dramatically, but it does, and I like it.  Obviously there are things I miss, but there are always new and different experiences around the corner- that I can say with utmost certainty.   New and exciting experiences are what I enjoy most about this life…

Anyway, I’ve got to go change the loads of laundry now.   In the mean time, I’ll be dreaming of all the wild and crazy gratuitous nudity one could encounter should they be living a life completely differently than I am.  *wink*
