a billion thoughts May 14, 2008

There are a billion things I could be writing about right now. But all I can think about at the moment is how tired I am. I should write at a different time of day, but it seems that evenings are my only time free (not that I’m complaining!). I could write about how much I love getting back involved in the worship team at church. How I began to think again about writing more songs and maybe recording them- at the most amateur level- I must be clear. Recording for me is not about giving the world something, it’s more to document a song I’m sure to forget, or lose the music to in the next few years (it’s happened several times already). I could write about my amazing son who every day makes me smile, giggle, laugh hysterically and want to pull my hair out all in the same 24 hours. His latest developments: lots of sign language (please, water, hot coffee, blowing kisses, and lots of other crazy arm gestures that we still can’t figure out); babbling to us as if he were speaking sentences that we should understand; the cutest coy look, inquisitive look, shy grin, and the best bright-eyed, open mouthed, big white teeth smile you’ve ever seen; bringing in 3 molars at once (which equates to a completely swollen gums/mouth that looks quite monstrous in my opinion); walking everywhere, getting faster and faster each day; vacuuming the floor with a real vacuum EVERYDAY (mind you it’s not the big kind that most kids are scared of); fascination with tractors and any machines related to construction sites; dogs, birds, flowers; pride in his little pictures he brings home from sunday school (they are posted on the fridge; praying with us at the dinner table and raising his hands in the air when we’re done; curiosity of little babies and all kids smaller than him; playing on his fire engine on the back deck, digging in and eating the dirt in the planters…the list could go on forever. I could write about how proud I am of Corey and all his hard work- finishing previously unfinished house projects, continuing with the wedding photography and working hard to increase business…I could write about the little baby that kicks me very regularly these days and how we are going out if it’s a boy or girl next week- and I can’t wait. I could write about all these things but that would be a lot to write and that’s a lot of work. maybe next time
