1. i'm really annoyed. yesterday i was in Civic (possibly the first time since last November i have been without a child??) and walked past Smith's Alternative bookstore. on the table out the front was a book about activities to do with children. it was divided into sections such as 'cooking'; 'gardening'; 'painting' etc and had a number of projects to do under each category. it was reduced to $14.95 and do you think i bought it?? no, i thought, "oh, i can think of these things myself". and i probably can, but gee it would have been nice to have as a reference. i called the bookstore - could they find it? no! so i'm really annoyed at myself for skimping on the little things.
2. here is a great quote for women that i read: "remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels." great, huh? ;-)
3. more importantly, this challenges and inspires me at the moment:
"We need to know where God wants us to go in order to create a plan to get there. Each person must find where she is on this path of motherhood so that she may know how to travel forward from this point. No matter where you are on this road of discovering and living out the mission of motherhood, you can take steps forward." ~ The Mission of Motherhood
oh, I have done that. What is tha books name and I will keep an eye out for it for you in my travels
