wow---where to begin----you would think with all the stuff going on right now with robyn and dillon, i would be writing my brains out about it---but for me, sometimes it is too much for me to share details---kinda overwhelming and stressful----i would compare it to when one of my special angels would have a doctor's appointment--and they were always filled with hard to explain information---but waiting family would call me asking for the findings of the days events----i found myself cutting out more and more stuff as the phone calls increased----too bad i didn't have facebook back then and could have just sent a mass message----anyway, did that make sense---i mean comparing that to why i am not writing about the wedding plans yet---
so what to share----
i sure wish i could make over my house---does that sound trite----i will share this about kinda the wedding--we had a lovely brunch and reception planning time with robyn's future in-laws yesterday----oh did i mention, dillon's mom is a master cake designer and caterer-----i know i know-----well any who---their house was immaculate---i still like them though---
these last few nights have made me think of all kinds of lists and things-----you know, i probably should have gone into the gift basket business-----
yes i am aware i am rambling----this is probably why i don't write more when i am kinda hyper and hopeful-
but seriously--it is nice to have the sun shining in my heart today, even though it is raining buckets---
it is nice to have sweet times to plan and dwell on---
it's a good day to count my blessings and plan for grand-kids sleep-overs---a great day to discover the Easter egg lights, i found on clearance this past year---to plug them in and get a thrill---and think, how i can't wait to display them for the kids on the egg-hunt day-
see rainy days and mondays don't always have to get ya down
I can't recall if you're involved in the FlyLady program for keeping up with your house even on a busy schedule or not, but you should look it up. There is a facebook page, and a website, flylady.net they provide support and a plan to keep your house decluttered and organized on a schedule of 15 minutes a day. I love it and my house/life are a lot easier to handle now when I take it in short bursts and don't let it overwhelm me or feel guilty about what I didn't get done.
ReplyDeleteoh this sounds great--thanks liz :)
DeleteNo Mondays don't have to be bad, but I've never liked them. Fridays I liked, because that started the weekend.
ReplyDeleteRemember "Blue Monday"? (The song - I think that was the name, by Fats Domino).
However, good to hear you're on the upbeat.
oh cool---i am gonna look that song up----and oh yeah--i much prefer fridays---thanks d.g. :)
DeleteSometimes it's good to get those little random thoughts out there. Sounds like you have had a lot of good to ponder on lately :)
ReplyDeletei guess i really have! thanks theresa :)
DeleteWe are thinking alike this morning!
ReplyDeleteThe way I look at it, we can dread Mondays or we can find things to love about them. Those things are there; we just have to look. :)
so true dana--i sometimes kinda feel sorry for mondays ;)
Deletelots of stuff going on. But you know, with all your kids there is always lots of stuff going on...good luck!!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah you should know, right annmarie :)
DeleteDoes it make sense that I understand "ramble" quite well? At least when I can read it. If you were (verbally) firing it at me, at 90 miles an hour, I might get confused trying to process it, though. LOL!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah you probably wouldn't have wanted to have a phone convo with me today, ms. a ;)
DeleteThat's pretty cool that you'll have a master cake designer in the family! Is she designing the wedding cake?
ReplyDeleteit is a real blessing--definitely cool!!! and yes sherry she is!!!:)
DeleteA good ramble is just what one needs on a Monday.
ReplyDeletehaha gotta do it once in a while and it might as well be monday--thanks susan :)
DeleteOh my, weren't we young and so pretty once. And now, we're all old enough to have grandbabies. Even if it's raining today.
ReplyDeleteif you see two other reply comments from me joanne, don't think i am crazy--for some reason they are not showing up for you :)
DeleteTake all the furniture out of one room and put it all back in another place -- one idea. Then, buy yourself some flowers, put them in a pretty vase, sit in your "new" room and enjoy a glass of wine. It might help. Churchill called his moods, the "Black Dog." Name your mood as in, "There it is again, the ______. You will feel better tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehaha i love it--no i do feel better--that's the problem--when i am feeling better, i want to do too much!--very interesting about churchill!!
DeleteWe all need to ramble once in a while. :) Rainy days can be sweet days. Mondays, well, maybe every now and then! Hehehe.
ReplyDeletehaha you are so right--thanks christine ;)
DeleteHave fun with the planning. it will all go by quickly.
ReplyDeletei know---i have been looking forward to helping with a daughter's wedding, all my life--thanks susan :)
DeleteSounds like good in-laws; could come in handy with the cake designer and caterer down the road, you never know.
ReplyDeletebetty
oh for sure--and yes dillon's mom is going to do the wedding cake and plan the reception!!!
DeleteIt feels good to get it out, healthy even. I commend you for sharing, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteit does feel good! thank you jackie :)
DeleteLove this song! Thanks for sharing. Getting out does feel good :)
ReplyDeletei know, i think she had one of the most beautiful voices---she is missed!
DeleteIt's really nice to have an in-law in the cake biz! I know that cake always puts me in a better mood! Good luck planning your daughter's wedding! Julie
ReplyDeleteyes it is julie and she is going to do the wedding cake----thanks!!
