Work

Well, I have about a million things to do today and I'm trying to stay motivated. Not the easiest thing for me sometimes. I've got a laundry festival going today along with a general clean. The upstairs could more or less use something a little more intense...like a shovel and possibly a haz mat suit. I'm only procrastinating by writing on this blog instead of getting to work. So I suppose I should be a big girl and stop stalling!!! Bummer!

People

A lot of people together can sometimes create problems. Everyone has an opinion and their own is of course the best. Things get said, misunderstandings and sometimes accusations get thrown around. In the end I suppose it doesn't really matter, we can only be responsible for ourselves. That's all that counts anyway.

Stormy Weather

It's been hot, really hot. Its September and I've been waiting for the crisp cool Fall air to come sweeping in. I love Fall. I love the smell of rain, pumpkins, cinnamon, wood burning stoves, and scented candles filling the air. I love looking out the window as the trees blow and the leaves full of color whip around. Kids bundled up in swaeters as they jump in the piles of leaves their parents just raked up, giggling and playing tag. I love warm cookies on the counter as the kids come home from school. Halloween, Thanksgiving, General Conference... peaceful and full of fond memories from my own childhood. Well, if I can't have that kind of Fall here, at least I have fond memories from long ago. I only wish my kids knew of the Fall I used to experience. Sunny California is great, but I sure miss the seasons.
