Monday Meanderings #20

Who is counting anyway?? My weekends have been longer seeing that I currently have Mondays off, to which I have no excuse to have a more up to date meandering posted here. Looks like the only person beating myself up about it is me. So self quit be so damn hard on yourself, yes I talk in third person now that facebook has come along. When ever I go to change my status the default is set to say Michelle is... it makes me pause and think what I am really doing is wasting my life away connecting to people who I never really connected with in 20 years and yet I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Really I should be spending time with all of you the ones who embrace my life and want to know more of it and your not required to throw me any beads or take care of my sea garden or lil green patch(unless you have the tools to do so).

Last week I was at a cross roads of decisions I would make as to where I am going to live in eight weeks, yes eight short weeks, to pack eight long years of living under one roof. Well I am happy to say I have found my new humble abode! Even though it is only 20 minutes closer to work it is the best offer I found and think it is a step in the right direction. My good friend dr.Bray not only was she there for me when I needed help in my early months of motherhood returning to work, watching Morgan for me, her Mom has offered her condo to me for the next 12 months or longer depending on how well of a renter I am and how well she is as a landlord. The condo is beautiful and big and requires less money to warm the place to which I am more than thrilled! More details will come and movers will be needed and pop, beer and pizza will be provided. I am excited to be moving on but dread the packing and rearranging it requires. Needless to say I have had more rest in the last two nights than I have in awhile. For once I feel I am making decisions for me and not anyone else, it feels weird and liberating at the same time.

Today I am throwing a playdate/girly afternoon for my BFF&A, her little man, her sister(who is in from LA), dr.Bray and her boys. We are going to have a lunch and enjoy each others company over kool-aid.

I am excited for the warm weather because I tried to entertain Morgan the other day with the water table she got for Christmas. I thought it is just water right? well that is fine if you child doesn't mind walking around in her diaper while playing in it, but when she wants to wear clothes, four outfits later, in one hour, then ends up sticking her whole head in the water it is time to put it outside. She had fun with it and has almost manipulated me into filling it up again, with her please puppy dog eyes, and telling me how much she loves me.
