Musings

Well, this week is a bit different again, with Lauren home from school for winter break and James home for vacation.  All my normal routines are impossible.  But we did take the girls to Tellus Museum, for kids.  We had a great time, but obviously it was not mine or James' choice to go.  We just knew they would love it.  So we did something for the girls, and all had a blast!
This whole blog idea has really been teaching me a lot about myself.  There are definitely days I wish I could just quit.  But I also know if I didn't write about it (even if no one reads it), I wouldn't necessarily do something every day.  I have learned what my talents are and what I can do at this phase of my life.  For instance I enjoy giving people little gifts and encouraging them with a note.  The times I have done volunteer work, I have enjoyed it.  However, since I always have at least one child with me and James' work schedule is tough to work around, I find it hard to do.  When I had to cancel volunteering, I hated letting someone down.  Now I know I need to be patient and do more volunteering when the girls are a little older.  If I hadn't been doing this blog, I wouldn't be aware of these things.  And I wouldn't be wondering what I could for someone!
