This one Dragonfly

this one dragonfly has been following me around all week.  It started out by flying into my car.  It let me grab it by the wings to let it out.  then it flew into the house another day.  seems i took it outside that time again too.  last night, it landed on the door, closed it's wings and stayed there until I closed the door to sleep.  it is gone now.

so i went online and eveyone knows the internet is tailored to us, so naturally i come upon a sight that has some native american info slipped between.  and what i found was that they focus on habits.  particularly one bad one that needs to be changed.  gee.  that was easy.  i was smoking each time.  i even asked my dad to help me this time.

dragonfly.  please.  let me win the battle against smoking this time.  pretty blue dragonfly.

boxes. really.

Yesterday was busy when everyone finally woke up and got home from school.  Miss Madie has a second job interview and the twins had fun on their date.  I enjoyed relaxing and watching tv without interruption, a rare moment!

The kitchen stuff, really, must get into boxes soon.  Oh motivation where are you?  I think that one Kaiser commercial where Allison Janney asks hits the spot.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZER0LUymzsA 

Changes are coming.  Wait.  They are happening now.  Must move.  Body hurts when I sit still too long.  Let's see how many boxes I manage to pack today.......

Something tells me laundry is coming first....ha.

My Girls, These Walls

There sleeps a child in my bed at the moment.  Seems to be one there often as of late.  I cannot say that I blame the one there today.  It is finally chilly outside after this off and on heat of Denver.  Perfect morning sleeping weather lapping in the final moments of summer before school begins.  Ah to be 17 and about to start the final year in high school.  Life was so simple then.  I'm glad it is for her now, may she be blessed with a joyous Senior year.

These walls.  They are about to no longer be in my sight.  A couple of decades ago, I had this dream of buying a house.   Twelve years ago I took a first time home buyers class to gain knowledge of home buying and qualify for assistance.  My the changes that have come into play that are only NOW allowing me to get into my first home.  Fourth time to take the class is a charm, eh?  I'm finally under contract to buy a house and the inspection is this Sunday.  I'm so excited.  Actual prayers this is the house for us.

We have much to do before we move.  Like pack this house.  The twins are in their last day of Freshman Academy and packing for them starts tomorrow.  I really must get to the kitchen today and yet, it is so challenging for me to be productive when anyone is sleeping in the house.  It is like the yawn theory I guess, I can just feel the calmness of sleep and want to be introspective instead of looking at what task needs tending in the now.  As much as I have loathed the energy of this house, something about my bedroom makes it tolerable for us all.  Something about crawling into Mommy/Auntie's bed makes it better sometimes.

I must pick up the twins from school soon and then they have physical therapy.  Their friend from MDA camp is taking them out an about for a date before she heads back to college.  I bet I can get a box or two packed after the twins leave on their last summer adventure with Julie.

My skin is crawling with excitement.  I kinda feel like I want to explode with JOY.  Life is bestowing it's blessings on me and I am noticing.  Thank You Universe an All for keeping me in your thoughts so that finally, life is flowing again.
