Beauty and art
So it's the end of the year, and I miss my blog here. I miss sinking into a chair during naptime and catching up with my good old friends. I miss doing things because I enjoy them, as it seems my life has become dominated by a to-do list and practicality. And for some reason, Fly lately has been telling me, "I miss you."
Maybe that's why recently I've been craving beauty and art.
And I'd like a side of order.
I look around my house and see the clutter of toys and Christmas packages and stuff JP has left out because he, too, has become stretched and straightening up isn't a priority around our house.
Not beautiful.
I grab a handful of baby fat at my waist and fear that jowls are sneaking up on me.
Not beautiful.
I wake up groggy after five hours of broken sleep, and brace myself for what new three-year-old defiance Fly will hurl at me this day.
Not beautiful.
But I remind myself that this is beauty.
And this is art.
Maybe order will come in time, but until then I will just try to go back to my mantra, "A mama needs to have more fun."
Wishing you a more fun-filled 2010!

Happy New Year to you and your boys!
They certainly are beauty and art! Best to you and yours in 2010. xoxo
A wonderful post. HNY :)
Wishing you loads of fun! If I hadn't lost my camera in the mess, I'd post photos of my house to make you feel better. In between wedding planning, toddler raising, packing, and life in general I can barely walk through my own house. It's ridiculous. Lucky for us we've got some other pretty incredible stuff to look at when our houses just aren't cutting it.
I hope 2010 quickly brings you better & more sleep so you can deal with the other things in life. :) Happy New Year!
It's true. There is beauty and art there. And this part goes so fast and furious in the grand scheme of things. This a good reminder for me to notice it.
Happy New Year to you!
2010 is well under way and I hope that it has brought you all beauty. I know that I am also hoping for some beauty this year. It has been a few years... Let's have a positive outlook on this year and do great things.
