Lots of things actually.
However, here is one of the things I get to do with some of my days that I love . . .

inspiring words
"Life is a constantly morphing thing. Just when you think you know where it's all headed you wake up the next morning to a completely different view. The landscape has changed along with the seasons, but the trees are the same trees, only your view has changed. So you try to cling to the old things that used to comfort you, clinging to the familiar, but they provide little or no solace. The fears do not subside. At this point we have no choice but to surrender to the unknown.
that is where the real beauty lies.
It is not in the knowing, the familiar, the expected. But in the embracing of the unknown. a willingness to walk down a new path and to trust that everything is as it should be. perfect. as it is.
Schopenhauer said,"When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect."
Sometimes there are little glimpses of the perfection, amidst the mess. It is at those times we feel blessed beyond measure." - Keri Smith

caught up on life?
I am about to lose my mind.
(OK, not really but sometimes it almost feels like it because of all that life brings my way. Here's an example: the other day I had only 30 minutes to go to the store to pick up items needed for scouts, clean and set up for Cub Scouts, and I have my twins calling me to bring the something they need at the school, I had prospective clients calling me to discuss booking a session, my co-leader calling about something, and then Madison calling me that she needs a ride home from track. Plus there were so many other things. I felt horrible, but I told Madison she needed to either find a ride or walk home. I was stressed to the max because I had to let down my daughter and stressed that I did not complete everything that I had wanted to get done that day. I also felt like crap and was exhausted so I ended up sending Ryan to New Beginnings with our girls alone)
I've been gone for so long.
(15 days this time. I am just really bad about blogging. It has kind of slipped down my list of priorities and many projects have taken precedence. As I sit here and type, I look beyond the screen of my laptop and spy my various projects that are in various stages of completion . . .)
1. There are my scout books. I am trying to plan ideas for April's den meetings before I meet with my co-den leader.
2.There is a sketch for my sister's virtual baby shower invite that I need to finish.
3. There is a sketch for my Cub Scout Jeopardy board and the blue project board I am going to make it with.
4. There are quilt squares to embroider. And another pile of quilt squares to sew together.
5. There is a stack of storyboards and a canvas that need to be re-packaged to deliver to a client
6. There is a pile of mats that are going to be sewn together to make a table runner.
and that is my dining table. My family computer desk has its own piles as does my desk upstairs, a project folder on my desktop, my kitchen island, and my craft closet.
I'm running out of time
(Like everyday. I made a new rule that I was not going to do any work into the wee hours of the morning anymore. It seriously messed up my sleep and my health and I kind of have to be rested and healthy because I am kinda in need to train for a marathon which takes up a lot of time. I really need one of those time management people who magically organize your life so that somehow there is time for everything and all the items on the to-do list get scratched off.)
I need a doctor. Call me a doctor.
(Dr. Phil? Dr. Laura? Dr. Oz? OK. Don't need one really. Well maybe in the future. We will see how my weight loss and marathon training progress goes. I want to be exercising and training properly to avoid injury)
To bring me back to life.
(Or maybe this blog. Are blogs a dying breed? Or maybe it is just mine. Hope to blog about my travel adventures and other things SOON. And about stuff I've been making and designing. And stuff our little family has been up to. And about some spring makeover things. And about books I've read. And thougts rolling around in my head. I made a list of stuff that needs to be blogged. It's long. It's almost a saga)
For now, I am happy to say I am caught up on life. Well ZOO LIFE anyway, which is my online Project Life journal.
It is kind of a snippet of our day-to-day happenings in our family life here at the Jenkins' Zoo. I ordered my pictures for my album and have set some time aside next week to dedicate to assembling what's been going on so far. It should turn out pretty cool.
OK. Gotta run.
The husband just stopped by. To check up on me he says. To see if I am getting everything done.
We are headed off for another little adventure this afternoon. Just a little one-day romantic stay-cation.
We are celebrating 16 yrs of wedded bliss (and making compromises and sacrifice) today! Since I know you will eventually read this at some point, Happy Anniversary Ryan! Love you lots. You are the "BEAST"!
TTYS~
